If you suspect this may be the case, try using a new blade and see if the problem persists. Occasionally, you may also find that your blade is damaged or broken from cutting denser materials. Any kind of paper, especially thick cardstock or chipboard, will dull your blade more quickly than vinyl. How long a blade will last depends a lot on what media you are cutting. When your machine is new, you may need to press quite firmly for the blade to pop into place, but over time it will become much easier. This is especially true for the Autoblade on the newer Cameo and Portrait models. To cut properly, the blade must be pushed all the way down, with no visible gap between the tool holder and the blade. I’ve diagnosed this issue so often that I keep a photo of a properly installed blade on hand to share whenever someone is having cutting issues. #1 Blade is not properly inserted and/or locked down This will help you determine if the issue is with the machine or the blade and what further troubleshooting is needed. While many of the items listed here are applicable to ALL Silhouette machines, if you are having cutting issues with a Cameo 4, my first recommendation is to try a different blade – either a ratchet blade or a premium blade.
