Had this workhorse of a cutter for years and its been great. Never had to mess with settings or do any maintenance
But suddenly its not cutting deeply or finishing corners
Attached photo shows some kanji characters cut on metallic silver vinyl (the problem is on all vinyl types)
If i try and weed this vinyl it doesn't come away easily as its not cut deeply/sharply enough.
Strangely there is a sort of shadow on the vinyl too, where the cut shape is repeated. Its not cut twice but there is a duplicate impression of the shape. which seems odd
Offset is 0
Blade barely pokes out of holder
I've increase force up to 14 but doesn't seem to make much difference
I've tried blades from 3 different manufacturers and replaced the cutting strip.
I've also removed the carriage unit, blown out any dust popped some oil in there
Any other suggestions? thanks a lot :)
