I finally gave up, and just bought a Siser Juliet. My very first cut was small circles and text (2.5mm and 5 mm Diameter, and same height for text) on 810S. Without any adjustments and using a 45 degree blade, the results are clearly substantially better than my Silhouette Cameo Alpha. It also comes with a 60 degree blade that is supposed to be better than 45 for fine detail, so I believe the cuts can be even better. I am convinced i will be able to use the Juliet for my original purpose - Royal Danish Airforce roundels, split flags, and squadron numbers in 1/48 scale. The results might be good enough that i can do it in 1/72 scale. Yes - the Juliet is more expensive at ~$400 versus ~$225 for the Cameo. It is also seems like it is a lot better built - the Cameo feels very plasticky. There may be downsides with the software, but time will tell. I am VERY happy I made the switch, and will be very comfortable starting some of the original detailed schemes I had planned. PS: It is possible i just got a Cameo lemon. I have seen others complain about the Cameo 5 accuracy, but I saw cuts for some earlier Cameo versions that seemed better than mine.
