I know the cameo mats hold up well & last quite a while. What about the cutting blades? | |

It depends on what you cut. If I am cutting something delicate I will use a new blade. I also have a blade I use just for vinyl.
I've been able to go quite a while without changing the blade. |

I'm still using my original blade and I opened my Cameo for Christmas in 2011. I use it very frequently. |

I've only had mine since November but I'm trying to cut something fairly delicate and it keeps tearing up the paper. I checked the blade to make sure nothing is stuck or gumbled up in it and double checked the setting. I do use it quite a bit. I think I'll try a new blade for it since it's so small and keep using the current blade for other things. | |

The blades also last a long long time. I am still using my original blade. |

I've had my Cameo since October of 2011 and am only on the second blade. I've cut vinyl, cardstock, regular patterned paper and even tons of glitter over Christmas. However, I did notice with my last few cuts that I will need to change the blade for more intricate designs. |

I was wondering this too. I'm on my original blade, at just under a year. I don't use it that much though (trying to change that this year!). |
