It turned out my autoblade didn’t need cleaning, but it was jammed. Knowing how to get the end off helped me get it unstuck and saved me money (for now) replacing it. Thank you!
I was wondering if my blade had gone bad; I'm so glad I found this video - thank you!!!! Fingers crossed this does the trick and saves me from having to replace the blade.

I bought a used Cameo. Does that white tool come with the Cameo or when you buy a new blade? The current blade I have has started to cut jagged it so I wanted to see if cleaning it would help.
@@heatoncathy I can't open mine either shouldn't be this difficult to open plus I have arthritis in my hands makes it harder to do lefty lucy righty tidy right? the video says the tool fits on it, no it doesn't slips right off when I try to turn it
What can I do with the blades once they start not cutting as smoothly as when I first got them? Should they just get thrown away? I've heard to use a foil ball to sharpen the blade but don't know how effective that is. Thanks!
I use a folded piece of tin foil on my premium blades and it does wonders!! Haven’t tried it on an auto blade but I’m sure if you set it to 10 it would do the same.
@@rtgross you just used a folded piece of foil with the blade out of the machine holding it upright and pushed it down into the foil? Not quite understanding. Can you please explain a little more in detail. Thank you!
@@eliseguise3605 yes I fold the foil several times until its about a 3 inch square and I set the blade to 1 or 2 and hold it straight upright and cut lines into the foil from one side to the other. over time youll have to change your blade setting because some of the blade wears off so a setting of 2 will be more like 1 and not cut. th-cam.com/video/ZLwE6EXW6es/w-d-xo.html
The Autoblade can be found here: www.therhinestoneworld.com/silhouette-autoblade-cameo-4 and the Blade holder with the 45 degree Clean Cut blade can be found here: www.therhinestoneworld.com/graphtec-cameo-blade-bundle-45-degree Thanks! -TRW Pilar
Hi Lisa, i am using cameo 4 auto blade, mine is not cutting no mark at all, even I made sure that It is properly clicked and locked into its position in Cameo 4 machine. So I watched this movie and opened the end of the blade case and cleaned it and had removed some dirt. Upon closing i used the tool to tighten it, and it cut but it cut through the paper even I lowered the blade to 1, so I decided to somewhat loosen the screw then it returns to no cut situation again. What do you think is the problem? thnx
It sounds like your blade might not be locked in all the way. Please email us at info@therhinestoneworld.com with an attached picture of your blade in the holder. This way we can figure out if the blade might be malfunctioning :) -TRW Bri
@@alishaandrews4343 oh sorry this is a long time ago during pandemic here in Philippines. I already changed business to online selling, Yeah I think I had it resolved with a new blade I guess.
Hey there! You would be able to change the Autoblade, which you can purchase on our website at the following link! www.therhinestoneworld.com/Silhouette-AutoBlade-for-Cameo-4_p_17970.html -TRW Kait
It shouldn't be necessary to clean it more than once a month, but keep an eye on how it cuts and how frequently/what materials you're working with. Everybody's situation is different! - TRW Haley
Thank you my blade showed a 1 on the front. once I finally figured out how to use the tool to get the cap off, I cleaned it out and twisted it back down it was on 10.
It turned out my autoblade didn’t need cleaning, but it was jammed. Knowing how to get the end off helped me get it unstuck and saved me money (for now) replacing it.

Yes! A lot of problems can be solved just by cleaning out the blade every once and a while :)
-TRW Bri
Thank you! I had basically a whole sheet of vinyl in my blade!!
Your cuts are going to be SO much cleaner now!
- TRW Haley
How often should you change the autoblade? Or after how many uses??
We appreciate you!

Many Thanks for this video, this helps me a lot to my cutting problem, the thread were loose and cannot cut, after seeing this inadjusted the thread and its okay now
Great! I'm glad we could help.
-TRW Bri
Thank you. Mine had lots of stuff in there.
Happy to help, Suzanna! - TRW Shannon
Thank you Lisa. That was very helpful as usual.
Is there a way to get it off without the tool?
KaDijah L., Harder with the risk of breaking.
Great vid thank you!

Great tip as always Lisa..
I bought a used Cameo. Does that white tool come with the Cameo or when you buy a new blade? The current blade I have has started to cut jagged it so I wanted to see if cleaning it would help.
I have tried so many times watched two different videos, my husband has also tried and we both cannot open the casing.
Use the other side. Not the one that looks like a flower
That’s what I have been doing
@@mandycameron4968 Make sure the side with with 6 circular dents around the holes is on the top.
Me too🤦🏻♀️
@@heatoncathy I can't open mine either shouldn't be this difficult to open plus I have arthritis in my hands makes it harder to do lefty lucy righty tidy right? the video says the tool fits on it, no it doesn't slips right off when I try to turn it

th-cam.com/video/ZLwE6EXW6es/w-d-xo.html
so the tool is useless. I can't get the end cap to screw off. Any suggestions?
Hi do you know where I could get another screen for my cameo 3 , my screen has a crack
Hi there, I believe you have to contact Silhouette for a repair. They don't sell the replacement screens separately.
-TRW Bri
Where is the ratchet thingie you used to unscrew it?
That is a tool that came with your machine just for this purpose :-)
-TRW Crystal
I’m trying to adjust my auto blade from the computer it’s not changing any idea why this is happening
Could you please direct your issue to info@therhinestoneworld.com so we can get some more info? Thank you!
- TRW Haley
If I don’t have this tool can I get one somewhere?
You can purchase them from our website, TheRhinestoneWorld.com, or SilhouetteAmerica.com.
-TRW Kaitlin
I cleaned my blade and screwed it so tight and I can't uncrew and open it again, the lid/cap stuck and now it wont cut.
Hi Lorena, can you send a picture or video so we can see a better example of the issue? Thanks - TRW Shannon
if you put things too close to the camera, it won't focus. But very helpful video.
Thanks for watching!
- TRW Haley
Hi. I ajvw cleaned my blade following this tutorial. However, after a couple days it's jamming. Is there an email I could send for trouble shooting?
Yes! info@therhinestoneworld.com will be able to help you!

@@alishaandrews4343 oh sorry this is a long time ago during pandemic here in Philippines. I already changed business to online selling, Yeah I think I had it resolved with a new blade I guess.
I am a new subber. TFS. ❤️🇨🇦

@TheRhinestoneWorld Once my blade starts being blunt, is there a way to change the blade or am i suppose to buy a new one?
Hey there! You would be able to change the Autoblade, which you can purchase on our website at the following link!

Thanks! I just got mine. Do you clean once a month or do you recommend more?
It shouldn't be necessary to clean it more than once a month, but keep an eye on how it cuts and how frequently/what materials you're working with. Everybody's situation is different!
- TRW Haley
Can I replace the blade if needed? And how do I do it for the autoblade?
The whole blade and casing will be changed. So you would replace this entire unit. :) - Lisa
Thanks 4 info
Thank you my blade showed a 1 on the front. once I finally figured out how to use the tool to get the cap off, I cleaned it out and twisted it back down it was on 10.
I see you clean iit but did not show how to sharpen it.
You shouldn't need to sharpen your blade! After a few years of use, we recommend replacing it with a fresh one for best results.
- TRW Haley
Great info . . . but really you would have been so much better if you took the time to get the most important visuals in focus.
Thank you for your feedback. We're working on improving every day.
-TRW Abby
Damn I lost the tool.. I’m using the cameo vinyl picker 🤣 wish me luck.
Oh jeez 😂 Good luck!
-TRW Bri
definitely need a better camera or fix your focus settings good attempt but I couldn't finish watching
Thank you for your feedback. We're working on improving every day.
-TRW Abby
Great idea but you need to be sure your video is in FOCUS! Thanks for trying. Maybe next time.
Thank you for the tip. We are striving to be better everyday!
-TRW Abby
The poor poor focusing defeats the whole purpose of this video.
Use the tool that comes with the machine to remove the bottom cap. From there you can clean it out.
-TRW Crystal
