I purchased a used BC Cougar. I was afraid to touch her the first day. I searched the web for information.
Today I tried cutting, using a light cardstock. I could not get the red click holder to extend unless it was a 5 or 6 so tomorrow I may do surgery on it with the wrench and screw driver, but I changed it out for the regular silver blade holder today. It is out very little, about the thickness of the cardstock. I have the settings of force 65 and velocity 200. I came up with these after much adjustment. I am running it with MTC and the KNK driver. Now I finally got it to cut pretty much through on the straight cuts, but the smaller cut out areas have little tabs (for lack of the proper term) primarily were the lines come together, ex. the sharper end of a teardrop. I am wondering if this is an offset problem. I did brayer the paper down and I believe the holder is the proper height from the paper. I am concerned as I didn't have this problem with my Eclips (but I did with my eCraft).
Any Suggestions?
