I am having issues cutting. I am cutting a design 2 times because my blade is a little dull. I am using a new mat. The 2 cuts are not lining up. But only on part of the design. Could this be a calibration issue?

It could be. Sometimes I just had to turn it off and then back on for a really easy fix. Mine is also about 13 years old.

It may be slipping or a problem with the file. I agree to turn it all off and on again.
One tip when it isn’t cutting well—setting the blade deeper isn’t always the answer. You want only the tip of the blade to do the cutting. I’ve found this to be especially true for intricate cuts. I usually do a shallower cut twice.

Not sure what it was, I turned it off for a bit, and then it worked fine.

My kid is an electrical engineer and the go-to fixer for anything electronic or more complicated fix. No matter what I call and ask him about, if it has a plug, he tells me to do this first. Even when I tell him I have already tried that, he says to do it again. It fixes things more often than not. Glad it is up and working.

I think it’s the cache. It doesn’t empty and then gets overwhelmed with too much data.

overwhelmed with too much data I did have lots of design pages open. Kinda like my brain!
