## Questions & Answers

**Q: Who has used this? I am still waiting for mine to be delivered. Eager to hear feedback on it from those of you who have used it**
A: I'm very new to Cricut, but one thing that appears to be a big problem with this blade is that you cant define custom materials using this blade. I tried to cut some perspex/acrylic that was less than the 2.4mm thickness and it fails to cut all the way through. I repeated the cut process probably 7 more times.

**Q: Can this housing be used with the scoring wheel tip also?**
A: No the scoring wheel has its own housing.  This housing is just for the knife blade.

**Q: Can I use this on cricut maker 3?**
A: The package is labeled for Cricut Maker which includes Cricut Maker 3.

**Q: does this blade cut wood?**
A: from Cricut.com

Working as expected

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It cut smoothly

It was good

### ⭐ 4K down the drain.
*by A***L on 12 June 2023*

Purchased it on the 1st of June. Return window was 11th June. It decided to stop working one day after the return window closes. It wasted 3 chip boards by not cutting smoothly. It shreds the chipboard. Apparently Cricut doesn’t have a warehouse in India. So they can’t replace it. They can neither compensate for it. Avoid wasting your money on buying the knife blade.
