Availability: In stock
The Graphtec CB15UA is a genuine original super-steel cutting blade with a 45° cutting angle and 1.5mm diameter — designed for cutting rigid and thicker media in the 0.25mm to 0.5mm range. This includes laminates, smart device screen protection film, mobile device protective film, and other rigid self-adhesive materials that the standard 0.9mm blades cannot handle cleanly. This listing is the CB15UA-2 pack — 2 blades per pack. Every CB15UA we sell at Digiprint USA is 100% genuine Graphtec.

CB15UA vs CB15U — What is the Difference?
The CB15UA and CB15U are both 45° / 1.5mm super-steel blades for the same Graphtec models. The key difference is the spring:
• CB15UA (this listing) — blade includes a spring attached to the blade body; remove before installing in PHP35-CB15-HS
• CB15U — no spring on the blade; install directly into the holder without any preparation step
When using the CB15UA in the PHP35-CB15-HS holder, remove the spring from the blade before installing. The PHP35-CB15-HS has its own built-in spring. Installing the blade with the spring still attached will prevent proper blade seating.

Applications

• Smart device screen protection film — precise cuts for phone and tablet screen protectors
• Mobile device protective film — device wraps and protective film in the 0.25mm–0.5mm range
• Rigid self-adhesive media 0.25mm to 0.5mm — thicker specialty self-adhesive materials beyond the CB09 range
When to Replace
Replace CB15UA when you notice:
• Tearing or delamination of laminate instead of a clean cut
• Incomplete cuts through screen protection or device film
• Visible tip chipping or deformation under magnification
• Increased cutting force required to maintain the same cut quality

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials does the CB15UA cut?
The CB15UA 45° / 1.5mm blade cuts rigid and thicker self-adhesive media in the 0.25mm to 0.5mm range — specifically laminates, smart device screen protection film, mobile device protective film, and similar rigid materials. For standard vinyl and thin films up to 0.25mm, use the CB09UB 0.9mm blade instead.
What is the difference between CB15UA and CB15U?
Both are 45° / 1.5mm super-steel blades. The CB15UA has a spring attached to the blade. The CB15U has no spring — the holder provides the spring mechanism. When using the CB15UA in the PHP35-CB15-HS holder, you must remove the spring from the blade before installation.
What blade holder does the CB15UA require?
The CB15UA uses the PHP35-CB15-HS — the 1.5mm blade holder with red top and brass tip. Remove the spring from the blade before installing. Do not use the 0.9mm PHP33-CB09N-HS holder — blade diameter must match the holder.
Can I use the CB15UA for standard vinyl cutting?
The CB15UA is designed for thicker materials in the 0.25–0.5mm range. For standard adhesive vinyl and HTV (typically 0.1–0.15mm), the CB09UB 0.9mm 45° blade is the correct and more cost-effective choice. Using the 1.5mm blade on standard vinyl will result in premature wear and imprecise cutting.
Do you ship Graphtec blades to Latin America?
Yes — same day shipping from our Doral, Miami FL warehouse. Our Miami location is ideal for Latin American sign shops and protective film cutters using freight forwarders in the Doral area.
