- In this video I show you how to cut 1/16 basswood with your Cricut explore series machine. You will need a purple strong grip mat, a deep point blade and housing, and painters tape. My wood is from JOANNs.
Perfeito , obrigada !
Rosilene Rodrigues you’re welcome!
Thnx
You’re welcome!
Hi, i am very interested to try this technique! I've seen a lot of other videis about it but the comments are always off... do you know if theres a reason that is? Is this not recommended to do by cricut or something?
I cannot speak for others but this is not on the recommended list by Cricut. But the size is within materials you can cut so it’s worth a try.
They just dont want ppls feedback.
Is there any difference between the Deep Point blade and Deep Cut blade? I've seen both online.
Same thing! Just old packaging and new packing and a little rebrand.
Will work the same with explor air 1 correct?
Paula Ortiz yes
Hi, can you write on the wood then cut as with other projects ?
Hi. You cannot. The pens would clog or break.
How do you move the left and center star wheels to the side past the center cutting piece?
They can be really tight on some machines but if you push them slowly they will get there
You’re welcome! They sometimes do!
Hi Katie, What did you set the dial to on the machine?
Tammy Kimball hi Tammy! I set it to custom!
@@katieodonnell-vicente6632 Thank you. I realized after I asked. I appreciate you responding though.
Tammy Kimball you’re welcome! I’m happy to help any time!
Will it also work with the explore Air 2?
Merelin Mieles yes, I used the explore air 2 in this video.
Katie O'Donnell-Vicente what blade would work with the explore air 2 ?
I used the deep cut blade in this video
katie, I used basswood from Joann's 1/16", i set the setting on my Explore Air 2, to 350, and did two passes each of 9x, and it still didnt cut all the way. I was trying to cut a 2020 sign in thick block font. Any idea on what I should be doing different?
Did you use the deep cut blade?
@@katieodonnell-vicente6632 yes I did
And you’re sure the basswood is 1/16 and that it’s basswood?
the second run i thought it will end up cutting through my mat, instead it was like the second run did no more cutting than the first!
@@katieodonnell-vicente6632 so it says on the label. I got it from Joann's, I am so confused, because every tutorial I see shows it such a breeze, and here I was trying to go over the cricut cut with a blade to get cut separated from the negative space, if I tried to pop it, it broke the image based on the direction of the grain
Hi what would you recommend the explorer 2 or the maker? X
I always will recommend the maker over the explore BUT only if you feel you will utilize the maker to its full potential. I personally do so the investment was worth it.
@@katieodonnell-vicente6632
Thank so much for the quick reply; I'm wanting to use the machine to cut hot laminated card, wood for outdoor signs, puzzles and names.
Would it be worth paying the extra 100 for a maker or could an explorer do them? Xx
You’ll definitely want the maker for those things. You’ll also need to know how thick of wood you can cut with the maker. Here is the list from Cricut as well as lots of important information about using the knife blade!

Awh will deffo save up some extra to get the maker 🤩 thwnks so much for the recommendation and informed 😄 x
You’re welcome! Happy Cricut crafting!
Could you link the wood you used please??
I bought it in store at Joanns, I am not sure if they sell it online.

I’m trying to use my Explore Air 2 to cut out wood. I’m using 1/16” Basswood using the deep cut blade for the explore air 2. After I cut the wood it’s very flimsy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Collette Newman wood that thin is very flimsy and depending on your design it could be even more flimsy. You can cut a few layers and glue them together for a sturdier piece
Katie O'Donnell-Vicente Nancy Backes I’m not exactly for sure what settings to use. How many passes, pressure, etc. I’m not for sure which way the grains should go. I used 1 small sheet and I followed some videos and the 1st cut the letters just broke on the mat. I used 345...6 passes and more pressure. The 2nd time I used default pressure, 340, 5 passes and didn’t cut all the way through. Both tries, the power button blinked red.
Collette Newman are you using balsa wood or basswood? And are you following the instructions from my video?
Katie O'Donnell-Vicente I’m using basswood and yes
Collette Newman is your design very detailed/intricate?
I see this video is 2 yrs old have you figured out a better way ? Thanks!
With the explore machines this would be the only option unfortunately!
your settings do not work. My design did not cut at all. and my wood is thinner than yours
Michael Florant sorry to hear that. As you can see from my video, the settings do work for my machine. You may need to adjust for your machine.
