Seems like mylar sheets range from 4-14 mil, with 7.5 mil being the most popular for stencils.

Hoping to be able to cut in 1 pass.
Wondering if I would need to upgrade my 3 in order to utilize that 5000 gf (grams of force).

>Maximum cutting force:
- Cameo 3 = 210 gf
- Cameo 4 & 5 = 5000 gf

What about alternatives to mylar?

For reference I've been doing 100 lb chipboard stencils just fine with my 45 deg CB09 blades.
(Blade depth: 0.5 mm, Force: 13, Speed: 10, Passes: 1)
