I am really sorry that you feel that way - and am actually a bit surprised. The learning center is full of knowledge as is the forum - and if there is something you need, you only have to ask.
Even with a database of guides, it is only that - a guide. And just like Penny's that is accessible in the learning center and here on the forum, the forces and blades are suggested guidelines. The best way to learn it to use the test button and find the best force for how you have your blade set. As we have said before - we have people cutting vinyl from a force of 1 to the 40s. It's dependent on the holder height, blade extension - and even the type of vinyl.
I know this database will be helpful for those who want a starting point, but it is still a process that each user needs to determine for themselves. There is no perfect number for every user. (some use the 45 degree for almost everything; some the 60 degree) - and that will alter settings.
I believe we have provided and will continue to provide optimal support. But experience and trial and error, for me, has been the best teacher.
Thanks Rob and Michelle for adding to the information available to all users.
