I bought the same blade combo as the one you link to from Amazon. Thanks for the deep dive into the details. The flange on the one I received is a very tight fit in the plastic adapter and there's a bit of a gap when the adapter is squeezed shut. The combo fits too tightly into the machine for my taste, so I'm returning it. The quality control is obviously not very good for these. It sounds like I'll need to buy until I get one that's properly machined.
Looking at the reviews, the tolerances on this item are indeed hit and miss. I decided to try and shave the diameter a bit using a drill press. I could get the knurled aluminum knob to fit in the drill press chuck. With the part spinning, I used the side of a fine flat file to shave a little metal from the lower section and from the flange. I managed to get it so the fit is snug, but not tight. It doesn't drop in like an OEM blade, but fits and will lock in place. I hope the blades and plastic cap aren't also problematic.
My CBO9 arrived yesterday. Works perfectly in Portrait 3 with blue adapter. I put ruler on holder which available as pdf in Internet and it's very useful. But i guess i will buy more holders just ti have different angle blades in different holders. I test cutting paper, rather intricate design and it cuts much much better then autoblade.
@@reacalingo7994in actions you should choose "cut" first, and then you will see blades in tools selection. It doesn't really matter which one to choose (just not autoblade)
@@Nekoandpiano i chose cut but when i inserted the adapter with cb09 blade, the software is reading the blue adapter as pen. there's nothing in the tool to choose from except pen.
Thanks for the setup info-the blue adapter that came with my Cameo 4 looks just like that, but it says it is for sketch pens. When I insert it, Sketch Pen shows up as the pen loaded. It says the black is for the ratchet blade, should I use that? Or the gray adapter, says it is for deep cut blades.
You can try the black blade adapter, from my experience it wasn't big enough for the CB09 blade. The blue one will default to the sketch file settings but you can change the settings in the second drop down box to cutting.
They originally came with the cameo 4 machines, I’m not sure if they do anymore or not. They appear to be out of stock everywhere that I know to look. I included the link to them on silhouette’s webpage below. I do know there are some 3D printed adapters on Etsy, if you want to try that route. I haven’t tried any of them., but several have good reviews. www.silhouetteamerica.com/shop/TOOL-ADAPT-SET
The link to the blade says out of stock, is it possible to have a new link. I’ve been having the hardest time finding a blade holder that works with the adaptor. Thank you
@@kg_drums yeah it feels like they occasionally get batches in & they don’t fit. Sorry about that, i am not affiliated with the company that makes the cb09 blades. I would return it & try another one on Amazon.
I have purchased two CB09 holders and neither of them fit my blue adaptor. One holder was from the same listing you have linked. Would you suggest continuing to order new CB09 holders until I find one that fits or look for another solution? I cut mostly paper and the Portrait 3 autoblade simply dulls too quickly if that aids in your suggestions.
@@nicholeholcombe4227 thank you for that info! I couldn't even force the one I received into the holder. I may order a few more in hopes of getting one that will work.
They can cut deep enough to break the machine, so be careful with them. I’ve never had good luck getting the cameo to cutting out chipboard, it normally just binds up & gets off track when I try.
Mine came with my machine when I originally bought it. It looks like they are sold out everywhere at the moment, I included the link down below to silhouette America's webpage. I know there are third party versions out there that have been 3D printed but I have never used one to give an opinion on one. www.silhouetteamerica.com/shop/blades-and-mats/TOOL-ADAPT-SET
@@MissMaryEmbroidery I just found out they came with the machine. I think mine did too but I probably put it away thinking I'd probably never use it ....lol! Now because I want it I can't remember where I put it!! Lol!! Story of my life!
CB09 Blade: amzn.to/3aubzuz That's a Link to the CB09 Blade that I used in the video, I would contact them for specific measurements of the blade. I hope that helps!
I would first start by trying to increase the force in the software to see if that can get you a better cut. Start with some test cuts with increased force slowly & see how that works out for you.
@@MissMaryEmbroidery I tried everything more than 50 trials with different forces and damaged my 2 blades as well but nothing worked out can you please send me the images of blade ( blade depth out ) through whatsapp or mail id ( in short a detailed information )
@@netechbrand did you get yours to work? I'm having issues setting mine up too. I don't know if I should have my blade come out more or play with the force.
I am not sure how to position the blade itself. Do I have to take care if the tip of the blade is pointing towards me and or will it be setup by the cameo itself? I have no experience with ratchet blade so I don't know if I have to position it before.

I’ve used the CB09 blade for years. I love it
I thought you were a CB09 fan too!
Just got my blade after watching your video for months!! I need to cut faux leather-thank you!!
I'm a new Cameo 4 user. This has helped me in solidifying my choice to get a cb09 blade. Thank you.
You will like it! The blades last forever plus when you need to change you don’t cringe for spending $$$.
I hope you'll be come a CB09 fan like the rest of us!!

Good evening . . . where do you get the adapters your put the housing in? I can't seem to find them on amazon

Looks like it is back in stock now!
hello im using cb09 blade. but it keeps scratching my stickers. any tips how to fix it?
Either try shortening the blade length or don't fully insert the blade into the housing.
I purchased the blade from the link but it still doesn't fit in my blue adapter :(
This video is over 2 years old now, so they are hit and miss when the fit now.
I just received the one linked as well but I'd ordered before seeing this video. I am able to squeeze it in but searching for different housing.
I just got mine and it doesn't fit, but the product you linked is the same one I bought! Does anyone know which I should get?
@@kg_drums yeah it feels like they occasionally get batches in & they don’t fit. Sorry about that, i am not affiliated with the company that makes the cb09 blades. I would return it & try another one on Amazon.
@@MissMaryEmbroidery yeah I bought another and had to return them both :( I guess i'll just keep trying thank you!
is that amazon link for the cb09 blade is for the the one that fits ?
It’s the one I bought for this video.
@@MissMaryEmbroidery awesome, thank you, great video
Where did you get the tubes you keep the blade and adapter in?
They came with the blades when I ordered them.

I had and problem. Ordered 2 from same seller. Neither fit. However I did kinda force fit it in blue adapter and it's working just fine
@@nicholeholcombe4227 thank you for that info! I couldn't even force the one I received into the holder. I may order a few more in hopes of getting one that will work.
Honestly that is probably your best bet -- make sure you can return them before you buy them.
@@MissMaryEmbroidery thank you
how deep can they cut? and which blade angle would be needed to cut thick 2mm chipboard?
They can cut deep enough to break the machine, so be careful with them. I’ve never had good luck getting the cameo to cutting out chipboard, it normally just binds up & gets off track when I try.
@@MissMaryEmbroidery yeah, it's what's happening to me :/ worst thing is that i bought the machine solely to cut chipboard :/
will this work in a Silhouette portrait-3
It should work just the same -- I don't own any of the new machines, so I can't try it out to be certain.
hi, does changing my blade depth still affects the cb09 with adapter to my cameo 4?
I'm not sure I understand your question -- the plastic adapter that comes with the cameo 4 isn't related to the blade depth.
I just found out about the CB09 blade. I got it from Amazon. Now I realize I need the blue adapter?? Where do I find that??
Mine came with my machine when I originally bought it. It looks like they are sold out everywhere at the moment, I included the link down below to silhouette America's webpage.

This holder graphtec ce6000 model suitable?
I’m sorry I don’t know
Is it possible to cut 2 mm Craft Foam?
In theory but I would be very careful doing so -- the Cameo 4 only has a 3 mm clearance, so between the 2mm foam & the mat there isn't a lot of room.
Podrías decirme el diametro que tiene la cuchilla que si encaja en el adaptador? Así podría comprar la correcta

where can get the adapter other than amzn.
You could try Silhouette America, Swing or any place that sells Silhouette stuff -- they may have them but they can be hard to find.
My cut using cb09 45° blade is not crisp and clear on vinyl need help

No you don't have to position it, the blade inside the black cover will move as the machine moves.
do you know where i could find the number line?
