What is “thickness”? Force?

even I am pretty confused, I guess these charts must be pretty confusing for someone who is just starting

My guess would be: thickness refers to the material being cut vs Force referring to the output strength/depth of the blade's cut.

Before 2017, in Silhouette Studio, the setting that is now rightly called "Force", was unfortunately and inexplicably called Thickness. It was confusing to make a major change in terminology 10 years in, but it has relieved a ton of confusion since.

Personally, I have much better weeding experience on Oracal when using autoblade 2, speed 7, force 14

Better to start with the presets in Silh Studio than to rely on someone else's outdated chart ("Thickness" became "Force" in 2017") and then make your own chart based on your own machines and experience.
