Review on KEKAI Graphtec CB09U Blade Holder Base + 15pcs Graphtec Blade Vinyl Cutter Plotter Cutting Blades (30/45/60 Degree) for Silhouette Cameo by Mark Kolipano

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I thought it didn't fit, but I think it's just a design change.

I haven't used it often enough to give a full review but at first I thought the blades didn't fit in the holder and looked through the reviews to find others having the same issue had. I ordered another one from another dealer and had the same problem. I started playing with this after rewatching the youtube video and realizing they changed the design and that's where the confusion lies. First I carefully inserted the blade into the cap. Alignment was the hardest part and I didn't use a spring. You can see the part sticking out of the cap that pushes up and down and I think it replaced the spring. I then screwed it to the base making sure the blade didn't come out of the cap while I did it and it seems to work. I'll try it this way for a while and will update if I find anything wrong with this setup, but wanted to point it out to people like me who might be disappointed. I left the stars at 3-4 as I haven't used them enough to know if there will be any problems and I want them to send clear instructions on the packaging. This would save a lot of people, including the seller, a headache.

Pros
  • Office Electronics
Cons
  • Almost OK
