The Rotary Blade for Cameo 4 is a new specialty tool available to use with the Silhouette Cameo® 4. It provides an alternate method of cutting by having the blade roll across your material. This means it can cut fabric materials like cotton fabrics, crepe paper, felt, wool, and more without a stabilizer backing.
The Rotary Blade for Cameo 4 can be used in Tool Holder 2 of the Cameo 4 only. Tool Holder 2 has increased power to allow for more heavy-duty cuts.
Silhouette recommends that you use the Strong Tack Cutting Mat to cut some materials for a stronger hold and a more accurate cut.
The Rotary Blade for Cameo 4 will be available November 2019.

You’re in the right place! Silhouette Studio (the software used for running all Silhouette cutting machines) does run with Windows 10. At the top of this blog you’ll see under the Silhouette 101 banner some areas to click like “Get Started”, “Tutorials”, and “Videos”. There’s lots of information for you!

Hello! The Cameo 4 machine has special capabilities that allow the Rotary Blade to function properly. It is the blade coupled with the increased force the Cameo 4 offers that enables the cuts of specialty material. The Cameo 3 machine does not have these same capabilities, so there are currently no plans for a Cameo 3-compatible rotary blade.

I’ve just got my rotary blade, is it not able to cut detail like a normal blade?
Silhouette

The Rotary Blade uses smart cut settings while cutting, this includes making additional small cuts to allow the blade to account for small details. Make sure your blade is loaded properly in carriage two, Tool 2 is set to Rotary Blade and Rotary Cut, and your design is selected to enable the smart cut settings.

Any Update For Rotary Blade On cameo 3
Silhouette
November 20, 2019
The Cameo 4 comes equipped with increased down force and hardware that enables the performance of the rotary blade, something the Cameo 3 lacks. This means at this current time a rotary blade for the Cameo 3 would not function properly since it lacks the necessary force.

Will there be replacement blades for the Rotary blade for Cameo 4 rather than replacing the entire holder/blade combo?
Cricut maker has the option of replacing just the blade, which saves some money and prevents extra used parts from ending up in a landfill.

There are currently no plans to release replacement blades but we are grateful for your feedback and will pass it along to product development!

I have replaced my cameo 2 with the 4 specifically for the rotary cutter as i wish to cut felt but for some reason i cannot get the rotary blade to work its in the right holder and the left is empty but the software continues to try to cut with the auto blade not the rotary feeling frustrated

We’re sorry you’re having issues! Please check out this video on the Rotary Blade basics–When designing in Silhouette Studio, you must select your design and then select Rotary Cut to ensure the software registers you’d like to cut with the Rotary Blade. This should turn the design blue and enable the smart cut marks to appropriately cut felt and other materials.
