Carvex issue advice

[Superchippy]

Had my carvex over 2 years tbh it's not seen much use
Until this week I've a pretty steady hand I've had to tackle 2 internal curves and 4 external curves in 40mm oak butcher block worktop I cut 2-3mm from my finish line to a allow for sanding,

My problem lies maybe with the fact I used  bosch blades clean hardwood 5-65mm cutting depth as these were my only available option
After adjusting my blade guide to the blade

The cuts were awful not square at all

Are these machines only suited to festool blades??

Hi
  The performance will be increased with these blades for the Carvex. The blades are thicker and have a 'set' so the blades also cut on the left and the right of the kerf which allows the blade to cut great curves at 90 degrees. This is the blade i use for all stage/dealer course demonstrations for this type of application

Many thanks for a response it could of turned out to be a costly mistake luckily the of 1400 and recently acquired ro150 were to hand to free hand the curve square and sand out any imperfections
