Built from tougher carbide steel and ground to a steeper 60° angle, the deep-point blade reliably penetrates chipboard, foam, stiffened felt, rubber sheets and other materials up to 1.5 mm thick. The housing keeps the blade supported for controlled cuts, so intricate shapes and layered projects come out crisp and ready to finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the deep-point blade different from the standard blade?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe deep-point blade has a steeper cutting angle and harder steel than standard blades, allowing it to bite deeper into dense materials without deforming. That combination improves cut quality on thicker substrates and extends the blade’s useful life for heavy tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e60° bevel for stronger penetration compared with typical 45° blades\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHardened carbide-style steel for greater wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDedicated deep-cut housing for stability and accurate depth control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for thicker materials up to 1.5 mm without ragged edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich machines and materials are compatible with this blade?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Deep-Point Blade + Housing works with Cricut Maker and the Cricut Explore family (Explore, Explore One, Explore Air, Explore Air 2). It’s intended for thicker craft media where the standard fine or bonded-fabric blades won’t reach or would require multiple passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible: Cricut Maker; Cricut Explore, Explore One, Explore Air, Explore Air 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIdeal for: chipboard, foam sheets, stiffened felt, thick cardstock, rubber, cardboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCut thickness: up to approximately 1.5 mm in a single pass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot for: very thick wood or metal materials beyond machine limits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does using the deep-point blade change my project workflow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwapping in the deep-point blade reduces the need for multi-pass cutting on dense materials and yields cleaner edges, which shortens finishing time. Because the housing stabilises the blade, you’ll see fewer snags on fine details even when working with sturdier stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFewer cutting passes needed, saving time on each project\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmoother, more reliable edges for stickers, magnets, and layered décor\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBetter performance on thicker adhesives and specialty papers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEasy to install into the machine’s blade carriage for quick swaps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I maintain the blade and housing for long life?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the blade and housing clean and inspect the blade tip regularly for dulling or nicks. Replace the blade if cuts become ragged or require extra passes; proper care and timely replacement preserve consistent results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWipe housing and clamp of debris after heavy cutting sessions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCheck blade tip before important projects to ensure sharpness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStore spare blades in a protective container to avoid damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFollow Cricut software material settings to avoid excess force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for? Crafters who work with thicker materials or who want to expand their project types will benefit most: hobbyists making custom magnets, layered paper art, stamps, home décor, or prototype packaging. If you own a Cricut Maker or Explore-series machine and need cleaner cuts in chipboard, stiffened felt, foam, or heavy cardstock, this deep-point blade and housing is a practical upgrade to make complex, durable projects easier and more precise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will this blade work with my Cricut Explore Air 2?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes.
