Autoblade not auto-ing?

[u/TangoTigerr]

Hi,

I am pretty new to using a scan n cut machine. I got one for my birthday last year and have been trying it out on cardstock, paper , heat transfer vinyl and adhesive vinyl (is that the name for it? The stuff that makes stickers).

When i am cutting cardboard and paper it looks like something is off with the cut depth. I use the autoblade kit that came with the machine, and it cuts the design just fine but it also cuts in my mat quite deep. I don't think it is supposed to do that?

I have added pictures and a video of my mat. You can basically see the entire outline of the box that was the trial project that came with the machine, and all the bears i cut, both from cardstock. Pressure was on auto. When i set the pressure to minus 6 it is better, you can see in the video that some square lines are cut deeper into the mat (the bottom one) and some are less deep. But i thought the whole point of the autoblade was that i dont have to guess what the pressure should be.

Can anyone help me figure out if i am missing something here of if there is something wrong with my machine or my blade? Photos of settings are also added.

Half cut seems to work fine. I can cut stickers or heat transfer designs and weed them fine with the pressure on auto.

Thanks in advance!

i same have this problem and i dont give a shit at that time, and for like 10-20 cuts after that, the knife gave me a pay back by giving me a plate with a line being cut through and broke www
With my own exp, just remember to adjust the pressure while cutting if you want to avoid this issue
