Cutting Vinyl Die-Cut Stickers on Cameo Silhouette

When creating custom vinyl stickers or signage, I like to use quality vinyl like Oracal 651.

Getting the right cut can be tricky though using default vinyl settings on my Cameo Silhouette.

I may be old school at this point as I still am using my original Cameo Silhouette, but hey it gets the job done, and I'm not a daily or even a weekly user.

‍

That said, I wanted to share the settings I use to cut Oracal 651 on a Cameo Silhouette since they vary slightly from other recommendations I have seen, and don't show the legacy units.

‍

Material: Oracal 651 Glossy Vinyl

Silhouette Cameo Settings:

‍

• Blade Depth: 3
• Force: 11
• Speed: 7
• Passes: 1

‍

I've also found it helpful to cut the vinyl by putting it on a cutting mat first. I prefer the lightgrip ones that don't try to steal the backing from you each time you pull it up.

Hope this helps someone avoid a frustrating weeding session on their next vinyl adventure.
