Maximum basic cut width on a mat Documented usable width for ordinary blade cutting on a supported mat, excluding printed-project registration margins. Read the paired length and mat condition. The largest supported mat may be sold separately; unknown sizes do not pass a width filter.	292 mmUsing a separately purchased 12 by 24 inch mat; converted from the maker’s 29.2 cm.

Maximum basic cut length on a mat Documented usable feed-direction length for ordinary blade cutting on a supported mat. This is not the length of a roll, the scanner area or a printed-project limit. Check whether the necessary mat is included.	596 mmUsing a separately purchased 12 by 24 inch mat; converted from 59.6 cm.

Supports cutting without an adhesive mat Whether the model documents a matless cutting route using compatible material and any required accessory. Read the conditions: supported backing, material width and a separately purchased roll feeder can matter. This does not mean all materials work without a mat.

Registration-mark print and cut Whether the reviewed US configuration supports aligning cuts to printed registration marks. A separate printer produces the image. Scanner-based Direct Cut is a different workflow; regional software activation restrictions remain explicit.

Printed-project limits The documented constraints on print-and-cut or scanner-based cutting for this model. Registration marks, sheet size, design shape, software settings and scanner limits can all reduce usable area. Do not substitute the basic cut dimensions.	Registration marks reduce usable area; the page shape is not a full rectangle. Sheet size, selected machine and design proportions determine fit.

Built-in artwork scanner Documented scanner that captures artwork to create or position cut paths. Registration-mark sensors and phone-photo workflows do not by themselves establish a built-in artwork scanner. Unknown is not a verified absence.	Not verified We have not verified this value. It is not a confirmed no or zero. Check the original source or ask the manufacturer if it affects your choice. The reviewed source documents a printed-registration sensor, not an artwork-scanning specification. Scanner presence or absence is not resolved.
Software and payment requirements The supported design/control software and reviewed distinction between included functions and paid extras. Check current device requirements and the specific feature you need. A trial or design-store subscription is different from a software-edition license.	Design Space; basic use and own-image uploads are free. Cricut Access and some content/features are optional paid extras.

SVG file import The documented route and software edition for importing SVG vector artwork. File support is not a guarantee that every SVG imports correctly. Check paths, fonts, layers and dimensions with a representative file.	SVG upload in Design Space; internet needed to upload. SVGs above 5000 paths are rejected.

Materials and optional tools Model-specific examples of documented operations and the tool conditions behind them. Treat this as a starting scope, not a complete material approval list. Match the exact blade, mat and material instructions and make a test cut.	Paper, vinyl and iron-on with fine-point blade; fabric, selected dense materials and engraving use separately purchased model-compatible tools.

Included blade, tools and mat The core crafting equipment documented in this exact US starting package. Read the complete package notes for supplies and trials. Product photos of optional equipment do not establish inclusion.	Premium Fine-Point Blade with housing, 0.4 mm pen, 12 by 12 inch Light Grip mat and mini weeder.

Reported machine body dimensions Manufacturer body measurements with axis labels retained when the source supplies them. Body dimensions alone cannot establish desk fit. Allow for lid movement, material travel, cables and separate feeders.	561 × 180 × 157 mm in source order; axes are not labeled.

Documented operating clearance Any reviewed clearance instruction, with partial guidance explicitly distinguished from a complete operating footprint. A rear-space minimum is not a complete desk-size requirement. Follow the setup instructions for the actual material or mat length.	Not verified We have not verified this value. It is not a confirmed no or zero. Check the original source or ask the manufacturer if it affects your choice. A complete operating footprint for moving material, lid and cables was not verified.
Questions to check before buying	Maker 4 and Maker 5 are separate generations. Optional specialty tools are not in this starting package.
