I love when I have comments ❤ I feel like I am not talking to the wall lol!Īnd just so you know, I also have a library full of free SVG files and Printables for all of my subscribers, a.k.a Daydreamers. I can’t wait to find out, so make sure to let me know on the comments down below. Which tool is right fit for you? The Stylus or Wheel? It works wonders with light and medium well materials, but not so great on thick materials. However, you are limited by the types of materials you can use.
The Scoring Stylus works wonders to trace and score intricate designs. However, if you have very intricate score lines – like the stars I showed you above – the folds will overlap each other. The Scoring Wheel will work great on any type of material. I love that with the Scoring Stylus you can Score and Write without extra intervention – you can set it and forget it – Since the Scoring Wheel goes on Clamp B – where all blades go – you need to change it and babysit your project till is done is scoring. While doing these comparisons with the Wheel and the Stylus I got a couple of mixed pros and cons that I would like to share with you: Note: Remember that the Scoring Wheel is only compatible with the Cricut Maker, so if you have any of the explore family machines, you can only use the Scoring Stylus. I didn’t have chipboard on hand, but I am sure if I had used the Stylus instead of the Wheel I would’ve totally scratch it. Cricut Materials can be quite expensive and if you re planning on doing multiple projects you want optimal results every time. If you are planning on working with thick and coated materials, like the ones I used on this post, and or chipboard I highly encourage you to get the Scoring Wheel with both tips. Scoring Tip 01 and Stylus in the background However, if you look at the stars, you will see that the lines that make up the star with the Scoring Wheel 01 are overlapped. 🙂 Colored Construction Paper & Cardstockįor thin materials you can barely see any difference in the depth or smoothness of the scoring line. They don’t look as pretty However, my commitment to you is far superior than just having pretty photos. In order for me to show you the score lines I really had to decrease the exposure and brightness of some of the photos. Sometimes you would want to score other elements, not just just lines.īeforehand, let me apologize for the way some of these photos look. On some of the materials – the ones that Made sense – I also scored a star on top of the design. However, I decided to try with both tips just so are able to see how each tip would look and all of these materials. Note: If you have the Scoring Wheel, Design space will always show you what tip is recommended. In total we will have 2 materials for light, medium-weight, and thick materials. Now that you’ve learned the differences between the Scoring Stylus and the Scoring Wheel let’s see how they both work on different materials.įor this comparison I will be using the following Materials and using both the Stylus and Scoring Wheel (01 and 02). Therefore, by using the Scoring Wheel you are going to get extra deep and extra sharp score lines.Īwesome Right? Scoring with different Materials That’s why, the Scoring Wheel has 10X the strength and power than the Scoring Stylus has. In fact, This technology is so amazing that it can adjust the pressure of the Scoring Wheel to match the materials you are working with! The Adaptive Tool System controls the direction of t the new blades and scoring wheel at all times. 
Here’s the caveat though, just like the knife blade and the rotary blade the Scoring Wheel was built with Cricut’s new technology, the Adaptive Tool System. However, the Scoring Wheel can only be used on Clamp B. The Scoring Stylus is always used with Clamp A and this is why you can use it with any of the Cricut Machines. Clamp A is for accessories, and Clamp B is for Blades. 01 for light materials like cardstock and regular paper and 02 for thicker materials like poster-board and chipboard 01 stands for Scoring Wheel, and 02 stands for double scoring wheel.Īll Cricut Machines, except for the Cricut Explore One, have two tool holders or clamps. Something extremely cool about the Scoring Wheel is that it has two different tips that you can use. However, the Scoring Wheel looks very similar to a blade. The Scoring Stylus looks very similar to other Essential Tools – weeding tools, spatula, etc – that Cricut has to offer. What do you think? Differences between Scoring Stylus vs Scoring WheelĪlthough, the Stylus and the Wheel have the same purpose – make folds – they both look very different.
