Hi Alex

Have a look here at the Keencut website, this will probably answer your question

Have tried the single sided blades?

Thank for link I don't know how many times I've read that but today it just went over my head and nothing was working.
It was still doing it with the single blade but not as bad, so I ended up doing a few passes before going all the way through the mountboard and that worked up to now
Thanks for help

Basically your blade is moving slightly before it finds the correct path, so you need to figure out what is happening and eliminate it.
Possible causes are dull blade so make sure you change it regularly, tough mountboard so try different types, play in the cutting head or bar so check they don't move from side to side.
It is a new machine, has it been an issue before or has it just started?

Hi pramsay13
It's a old one after having a good read of the link that got posted last night, I've had a good play around with the mountcuter and give it a service and all seems good at moment. There was a little bit of play in the cutting head so sorted that and give it a clean and tighten anything that was to loose.

Thanks

Sounds like you have it sorted. Imho stick with S12 blades if you're using conservation quality boards. Any problems I have had have been when I've used double sided blades and obviously blade depth is very important, if it's going 1/3 of the way through the slip that should be fine.
