[Ravisteam]

Hi Guys ...How long and how many cuts a Cameo blade can do ??...and is it possible to install a 3rd party blades in to Cameo with out paying 12 pounds for the original Cameo blade ??....I ve just done my 1st Cameo job (Test ) and its great ....

blades can last months of daily use if you get pressure right, have a fresh cutting strip, and don't cut much glitter or foil, or you can trash one in a day!
Premium blades last longer than cheap ones.

Ive just replaced my blade after two years, and use it nearly everyday, to cut vinyl and sandblast masking, as logobear says, careful cutting and getting the pressure right is the key to longer lasting blades.

im still on my first one and its been over 2 years, great little machines if looked after, but i do think its time i invested in a new blade soon

Mine last a couple of months. If you are cutting materials like paper, card, holofoil or rhinestone material it can degrade an awful lot quicker.

These are supposed to fit the cameo,

But I would check first, Iv'e just tried an old cameo holder in my Graphtec 5000 and it's too small, unless they are making the above holders with a smaller diameter.
