Why Is My Silhouette Autoblade Not Cutting?

If you’ve recently purchased a Silhouette Autoblade and are having trouble getting it to cut, it is likely that the blade is not properly connected or seated in the carriage. This can happen if the blade is accidentally bumped or knocked during installation. If your Silhouette Autoblade isn’t cutting correctly, here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot:

Check the Connection

The first step is to check the connection between the Silhouette Autoblade and the carriage. Make sure that the blade is firmly seated in the carriage and that both pieces are securely connected.

Adjust Blade Depth

If your blade isn’t cutting correctly, adjust the depth of the blade by turning it clockwise or counter-clockwise with a small Phillips screwdriver. The deeper you set the blade, the thicker material it will cut through.

Clean Blade

If your blade still isn’t cutting properly after adjusting its depth, try cleaning it. Use a soft cloth to wipe away any buildup of dust or debris on both sides of the blade.

Conclusion:

A Silhouette Autoblade not cutting correctly can be due to an improper connection between it and its carriage or incorrect settings for its depth. To remedy this issue, check that both pieces are firmly connected, adjust its depth using a small Phillips screwdriver, and clean away any debris from both sides of the blade.
