We have decided to replace the blade with a new one. They never cut as deep as the original brand. This usually ranged from slightly deeper than a film scratch to a slight cut, but the cut pieces still did not separate or cause the material to tear. Thinking it's a problem with the machine or the stencil material and trying again and again. We've replaced these blades with a traditional Cricut blade with a deep cut and ta-da. It worked great. So it ended up costing a lot more than just buying a brand name blade with all the template material and wasted time. We read so many reviews before ordering them but those reviews did not reflect what was sent to us. Also, if you hold the original blade and these blades together, there is a difference in the shape of the blade. Not sure if this is the problem. Lesson. Sometimes it's better to stick with branded products.
