Where do you get the tool for removing the cover on your blade? I've never seen it until your video.

I had a problem with mine not cutting when I first got my Cameo 4, new blade, all checks appeared correct. Turns out that the blade cover on the bottom came unscrewed by itself in the middle of a cut! I had never opened it -- I guess it was shipped to me loose. It took a month to figure out what happened. :-( I ended up using my Cameo 2 to complete my projects until the source of the problem was actually discovered.

Maybe someone on here can help me with a problem.
I am trying to cut a 1/4" circle in a bicycle playing card. Every time I go to cut it the circle ends up NOT being a circle. It's an oval. I've checked everything.
Can someone try and cut a few and see what tips might help.
So frustrated I would really appreciate the help

Thank you all so much

This is a known bug. The beta version of Silhouette Studio is supposed to fix this: https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/software#silhouette-studio
