Thanks for all of the replies! First of all I have a Laser Point 24" cutter. I misplaced this thread, sorry. I am at this moment still having troubles. I did NOT have the blade offset to .25 and I may have never set it before...not sure. I have cut quite a bit of vinyl since I bought the cutter with great results using the original blades that came with the cutter. I changed the blades as I felt they were getting dull, but I am new and could have thrown away good blades. I feel I have learned to adjust the blade and set the pressure pretty well, but I have been playing with it for a few nights now and am getting various results depending on what I cut. Pressure set between 119-130 and blade just barely sticking out and I will get a few good cuts on larger items but it gets bad on anything with detail, chattering and not smooth, straight lines. I am pretty sure when I had the blades that came with the cutter I was using about 121 pressure. All vinly has been Oracal 651. Thanks again for all the helpful suggestions! I am hoping some 45 degree blades will get me back on track.

My second post! Been cutting for a few months now and love it. Anyway, I ordered new blades from USCutter and what I ordered were 60 degree blades. I put a new blade in and it started cutting jagged lines rather than nice clean lines. After a good bit of wasted vinyl and changing the pressure, etc., I pulled the new blade and replaced it with the old. It is now cutting nice straight lines, but the blade isn't sharp. When looking at the blades side by side they look different. I don't see anything on the package except for .25 offset. How can I tell if I have 60 degree blades? Would a different degree blade cause the machine to cut jagged lines (and at one point tear up a sheet of vinyl)? Thanks!!

Mine is also very tight. I just got the LP last night and spent a bit of time trying to figure out if I was even installing it correctly. There is no mention in the paper manual that comes with the box and there should be. Glad the forums are here, I'll start here from now on with my questions!!
