Who has used this? I am still waiting for mine to be delivered. Eager to hear feedback on it from those of you who have used it

I'm very new to Cricut, but one thing that appears to be a big problem with this blade is that you cant define custom materials using this blade. I tried to cut some perspex/acrylic that was less than the 2.4mm thickness and it fails to cut all the way through. I repeated the cut process probably 7 more times.

Can this housing be used with the scoring wheel tip also?

No the scoring wheel has its own housing. This housing is just for the knife blade.

Can I use this on cricut maker 3?

The package is labeled for Cricut Maker which includes Cricut Maker 3.

does this blade cut wood?
