What Are The Little Coloured Caps For?
The blade for the small Craft Robo model comes in a black holder with a set of three coloured (blue, yellow and red) caps. The blade depth is preset, and is not adjustable as with standard cutters; the different colour blade caps are instead crewed onto the blade holder to act as depth adjustment guides for the blade. The blue cap is used for the shortest blade depth to cut thin media such as paper and vinyl, the yellow for medium blade depth (thicker paper and thin card), and the red cap for the greatest blade depth for heavier media. See also more detailed information under “Blades and Card Weight”. Replacement blade packs can be purchased direct from Graphtec, the Crafty Club,(members only), and various other suppliers.
