My desk is a monument to chaos, honestly. I once lost a coffee mug for three days under a pile of mail and old notes. The article might be right, but my own mess feels like a lost cause.

Asking a simple question once stopped me from sending a report with wrong data.

Did you even read the manual or watch any setup videos? Those machines need to be calibrated perfectly for different fabric types and blade depths. A rotary cutter is simple because it's dumb, but a power tool requires you to actually learn how to use it. It sounds like you just plugged it in and expected magic without doing the basic work to understand the settings.
