Square it up, then turn your blade around and try again (or preferably replace the blade!! - don't make me spoilertag!)
. You have the cutting mat on yours, so no gougue like my cheap MDF board.

IS ALL of the blade edge meeting the cutting mat? Or just part of it? Maybe you are trying to cut too big of a stock peice? Start small, like 1mm rod. Look down the length of the blade as it cuts, it should be meetign the mat at a perfect 90 degrees, anything not 100% square and plumb, will give you more unwanted bevels.

All meets the mat but even on 1 mm Rod it starts to slope as it cuts through, its like the blade moves as it cuts.

I really think the blade is the main issue, I use a stopper some time on longer cuts and it still does it

Listen, People...NEVER EVER EVER compromise on sharp blades!!
1. your laziness will be reflected in your craftsmanship!
2. you'll cut your fingers off because you have to apply more force and then it slips!!
Spoiler:
HAHA made you look!

3. This should be a grim reminder that Dull blades are more dangerous than sharp ones! Safety First!
4. They are inexpensive and you should stock up whenever you can, avoid REVELL brand hobby knives and blades at all costs, they shatter!
5. Keep an old pill bottle around, cut a slit in the lid, and WHAM-O you have a sharps disposal container

LDD, can you grab the handle and pivot the blade (making it NOT exactly 90 degrees)? Or is your steel blade actually bending?

dave! that was so hillarious...and makes you such a humanist as can be... of course i klicked the spoilertag...just seeing the tag made me klick it...even before reading the complete comment of LDD...LOL...

and i second the immense importance of fresh and sharp blades...werever you go...slicing tomatos...cardbord boxes on the job when in the store (looking at you LDD...been there too^^)

and dave...that idea of the dull blade disposer...my hat´s off to you sir for that one... consider it done! that will be my next thing to do...for sure!

and LDD...i think seeing your aperatus there... from what i can see...looks like a dull bladew only... for a quick check of the blades sharpness... use the surface of your fingernail...scratch it over the nail and you feel the sharpness or rather the lack of it... really that´s how professional bladeusers do it!

Sorry for the late feedback misses wanted to talk about her day

Anyway back on track the blade bends not the mechanism, I think the blade change might help lazy I know

As for the aforementioned pic Vik, thats just a pic of the chopper not mine LOL however my blade is as blunt as a butter knife

Will get some new blades me thinks


Vik have you not got a rubber sculpting tool I have a large one thats perfect for the job " the sculpting tool get your heads out the gutter " gets smooth surfaces every time
