    Check blade offset if using SB program it’s under: file, cutter, setup, blade offset. On a 45 deg blade us cutter tells you .24, I had to go to .35 the previous blade .22 was needed. Also behind the left little bracket that the left bearing rides on has a small thin BI metal “spring steel" strip. It keeps tension on the bearings for alignment for the blade and prevents binding.

    mine had gotten slightly bent out to determined this just remove and lay it on a flat surface holding finger tips on the part where the screws hold it down the end should be touching the surface as well, also flex the spring steel to give it a little more bend ..Make sure it’s a smooth curve avoid bending it in such a way that its makes sudden bends remember the bearing needs to roll smoothly right! Be sure not to over do it. Another thing to check is the spring rollers. make sure they are working properly no bends or cracks "the spring rollers are on top of the carriage" another thing for small decals slow down the cutting speed and re test the cutting pressure it can change with the speeds slower speeds take less pressure depending on sharpness of blade too. Watch out moding your vinyl cutter a lot of testing designing went into it! I have found out very seldom you can mod a product and get over all better performance from it you my get it to do that one thing your after but by doing it you may sacrifice dependability and more :thumbsup:
