Can you use a craft cutting machine such as the cricut explore to cut this leather? How thick is it?

I don't have a cricuit so I don't know its limits...I use a dewalt straight edge blade cutter to cut this. I think a cricuit has a paper thickness limit? I would not recommend trying to use it on this leather. It is about 1/16th inch thick and it is a nice leather that I use to make my own version of midori travelers notebooks and its a durable leather on its own for covering my booklets...I dont add anything to this leather I cut it and fit it around the books and call it good....It has aged well and protected my booklets everyday.

Hi, I would imagine so. I've used this excellent punch on all kinds of material especially fairly thick leather. Thanks, Bill

Yes! The Cricut Explore uses the same 12 x 12 and 12 x 24 cutting mats that you currently use with your Expression or Expression 2.

Not really setup for Leather. No knife edge for cutting. The cut would not be clean as a leather hole punch.

She has the Cricut Expression, You should have specs with the machine to let you know if you can handle the size. I just looked up your machine and it does say 12 in x 24 in cutting capability. Sorry but I looked up the wrong machine. All I can find on your machine is 12 x 12. Sorry for misinformation.

Yes I have used it to cut carpet. It was a thinner carpet so not sure about thicker carpet

I've used it on fake suede fabric and home decor fabrics. It sews through seams of these fabrics well. As far as leather or heavy Cordura, I am a bit skeptical if it would be used often. It is a far better machine than the past machines I have had but still not a professional machine. Hope that helps.

We have had several people use our blank material with cutting machines, such as a Cameo. However, you will want to use our thinnest material, the 4 mil thickness. We sell this material by the foot or in 8.5 by 10.5 and 12.5 by 17 inch sheets. We now have 25 sheet packs available with Amazon Prime shipping options. You can find these 25 sheet packs by searching the following Item# AMY040812U25 and Item# AMY041218U25. Please contact us if you have any further questions. Thank you, The StencilEase Team

Haven't used Cricut but I use my Silhouette Cameo and it works fine feeding a 12"x12" sheet on the cutting mat!

Hello. I had no problem cutting this material. however, I did not purchase the super thick mat. I used a sharp box knife and a straight edge and was super pleased. I mated 4 pieces to cover the room. I hope this helps : - )

I'm sorry, I won't be of much help because I don't have a cricut expression1 machine, so it would not be fair for me to try to answer something that I did not try out. I can tell you that this size is too big for my machine, so I just cut it to fit and it works fine. Good luck.

doubt it can cut it at all! More for fabric, cardboard, leather etc. Blade is similar to serrated not a saw type blade. try plywood blade on skill saw or a router or a band saw

The punch has plenty of strength. The real question should be "does the grommet have the strength to cut through the leather. I'd say, if it's one layer, 95% probable. If it multiple, 75%. To test it, up a piece of the Work on a cement floor and use a hand grommet set to test your needs. If that works ok, your in like Flinn.

I called cricut to answer you correctly, because my first thought was yes..and every time I googled explore replacement blade this one popped up, she said you can use them but cuts won't be the same since the angle on this blade is different than the carbide blade on the explore. They are waiting on the replacement blades for the explore she said. So none in stock. I hope this helps.

The black and Decker is awesome for most fabrics and crafts, I find the skill Cutter great for leather, SKIL 2352-01 3.6-Volt Lithium-Ion Multi-Cutter

I have a Cricut, and it cuts really well on the Cricut. I imagine it would cut just fine on the Cameo, as well.

Paper shouldn't be a problem at all. I would, however, suggest purchasing a "self-healing mat" as well. The mat will "absorb" the blade, so it will cut smoothly through your thicker paper.
