The rollers on my new ebosser do not exert the same pressure across the page, causing grooving on one side of a die cut but not on the other side.Idea

I have 2 Ebosser machines, Both were purchased 1 year apart, I never had this problem. I am not a pro on the way it is constructed inside, although we have opened the first machine up to see how it was made. Simple curiosity. Perhaps it is a manufacturer defect...I would write to Craftwell and ask them. They answered our questions when we needed help. Good luck

E-mail the company Craftwell, I actually just had to do the same for a different problem, they were extremely helpful. I love this machine it's incredible and I told them so, they were ready to check it out. Try it you have nothing to lose. Good luck!

i am unfamiliar with Anti-skate, but can vouch for the fact that i haven't had any problem of the tonearm skating across my more wobbly vinyls. Maybe the tonearm is set heavy at the factory ? i haven't fiddled around with it.

Make sure the ink roller is snapped in properly & paper roll is not jammed.

You know, I've only used my brayer for print making, but my guess would be to use the soft roller. The hard roller may produce gaps in the glue application, whereas gentle pressure on the soft roller may provide an even layer. Good luck with that. Lura

Did you have any of the mylar shims with it? Like thin sheets of plastic? If so, start adding those to the sandwich and see if it improves. If you don't have them, try copy paper- adding a sheet at a time until it cuts all the way through. Thats all the problem is, the sandwich isn't quite thick enough. remember to add shims one at a time until you get a good cut- you don't want to force something too thick through your machine.When you have the cut right, you can see if you could swap plates- taking out a thinner one and replacing it with a thicker one. Its really trial & error- no two machines will use exactly the same pressure, so what works for one person may not work for someone else. Sometimes, placing the die and chipboard on a different area of the platform, or facing a different way can help too. Hope this helps.

Not sure why you're having a problem as the slide table can only fit in one way on the rollers and there is very little adjustment for exact alignment. Just make sure you do not have the stop in place until the slide table is on the rollers then you can tighten the stop onto the slide and you should be good to go.Hope this helps and I haven't insulted your mechanical skills, as I can't see your exact problem I'm generalizing.Good luck, Great saw you'll love it once you have it put together.

I had a similar problem on an old frame. I always tape the edges of my needle point projects using artist's tape to protect them and help keep their shape. On an old frame I had, I would also run a strip of tape half on the dowel and half on the taped edging of my project (so the project was adhered to the dowel) then start the roll and apply the clamp then complete the rolling process (I would do this with both dowels). This provided just enough adherence to the dowels to keep things from slipping, but it was still easy to remove when done. I used artist's tape because it is archival and does not leave behind residue that will discolor the fabric over time. I have not set up on my Edmund's frame yet, so this is only a speculative suggestion that may or may not work on it.

You should take paper sticking side of toner off or cut it first. I fixed same problem by doing this.

There ought to be rounded plastic rods that look like glue sticks for hot glue guns inside. As they drop down, they press against your paper to give it some grab. Yours sounds like defective.

I'm sorry, I clicked yes by accident, but I have never had a problem with smearing. I would guess if it is smearing that there may be excess ink on the rollers. I would try to look up some ways of cleaning the rollers, I hope that helps.

mine had no problem you have to make sure the roller tray is put in Properly theres no pin the tube is hollow on the left side.

This is mysterious. Raise the blade up as high as it will go and check with a square that you trust to see if the blade is truly perpendicular to the table. Make sure that the throat plate is not throwing off this check for square. If the blade is square to the table top, then you might try a run-out gauge on the saw's arbor. Excessive run-out is less likely in my opinion and probably wouldn't cause the uneven bases in any event. Finally, make sure you have a backer board behind your work piece.

Make sure you have your handle in tight. I thought both rollers moved. MAKE SURE YOU USE ENOUGH FLOUR TO KEEP FROM STICKING.

the cutting edges of the tool are beveled both sides but i get a near flush cut with the whole cutter as opposed to trying to nibble the same cut with another tool.

It doesn't work like that. The paper feeds between a bar and the front piece (flat) that goes up and down. There is no pressure on the paper roll.

I finally called a copier repair person for this problem. He had a easy, but counterintuitive, solution. Clean the paper feed roller with WD40. He explained why it worked (which I don't remember), but it certainly did work. Wipe off any excess of course.

Is the handle turning? If so is the item your embossing thick enough? Sometimes I've added thick paper under my plate to raise it do I can emboss paper. If it's metal your embossing is it too thick? The vintaj thickness works great, and should feel a slight pressure while turning the handle. Hope this helps. Stick with it the machine does work great :)
