CG-130SRIII pressure issues

I have a 3 month old mimaki cutter and all of a sudden it takes almost twice the amount of pressure to cut my material properly. What used to take 30-35 pressure setting now needs 50-60. I have installed two different new blades, and the problem has not changed. Everything else on the machine looks normal. Has anyone seen this issue before?

Make sure the black ring around the blade holder is under the tightening mechanism. It's a common first time user mistake. If the ring isn't under, the blade holder just starts to slip a little each time and will require more pressure.

Yes, I did make sure the ring was under the locking tab. I am beginning to suspect it is not going to be a common issue

Have you tried replacing the Blade holder? I had a customer with the same issue, we replaced the blade holder and it fixed the problem. When we took the old one out and shook it a bit the blade popped out.

Worth a try if it’s covered under warranty.

I have not tried that. The blade sits well in the holder, and I can not shake it out, but it's worth a try. Thank you
