Hi! Novice here. Have now managed to cut a title with my CR, thanks to the excellent tutorial help! - but notice 2 things and would be glad of your comments.
1) I opened the CR before Christmas and managed to cut a title then, but
haven't used it since until today. It's been in a warm and dry place, but it sounds terrible today, making loud groaning noises as it cuts! I don't remember this from last time - does it need oiling anywhere, or is this just how it is?
2) I drew a rounded rectangle round the word, and notice that wherever it started cutting, it doesn't join up neatly when it comes round again: it's come round narrower so the rounded rectangle has a kind of nick or irregularity in it. Anyone help?
Many thanks!
