![]() ![]() One thing to be aware of is that the Cameo 4 will presumably require a tool adapter if you’re going to use it with the older Cameo tools. Punch Tool - we assume for punching holes.The Kraft Blade - we’re not 100% sure what this one’s for yet, although our instincts are telling us that it’s for thick materials and deep cuts.The Rotary Blade for fabrics ( see our guide to fabric cutters).That means that these new tools will only fit the 4 and not the previous Cameos. Silhouette have already announced that they’ll be releasing a brand new suite of tools to exclusively fit the brand new drive housing that the Cameo 4 will be fitted out with. We already know that the new cutter can cut more materials thanks to its massive downward force, but it turns out that it’s got more going for it as well. ToolsĪnother thing we look for in a new vinyl cutter is how versatile it is. We’re going to rule ‘ease of use’ a draw for both machines as they both have pros and cons in this arena, so that makes it 3-1 to the latest cutter. It’s a good job the Cameo 4 is so much faster than the Cameo 3… So you’ll have to do one pass with the blade, and then another with the pen. You can’t sketch and cut at the same time anymore, for instance, as both the AutoBlade and sketching pens can only be used in the left carriage. So you can’t just use any two tools at the same time. This is intrinsically a good thing as it means the machine can use greater power and speed with different tools - but does make it a little inefficient in comparison.Įssentially, some tools will only work in the left carriage and others will only work in the right. ![]() It was pioneering when it was released thanks to the AutoBlade - although it’s fair to say that this has been one-upped with the Cameo 4’s Single Tap AutoBlade.Īnd there is a significant issue where the Cameo 3 comes out as easier to use than the Cameo 4 - and that’s with the dual carriage.īoth machines have a dual carriage which allow you use two tools at the same time, but the Cameo 4’s is powered by two different motors. Now, we’re not saying that the Cameo 3 isn’t easy to use - in fact, it’s got a very gentle learning curve and is a fan favorite for that very reason.
