Has your bag taper seen better days? Maybe it isn't the taper at all, you just might need to replace the interior tape blade assembly. It is easy to spot the bag trimming blades on the outside of the bag taper. The interior, arrow-shaped, blade that cuts the tape, can be easy to miss. The tape blade isn't the easiest thing to replace, but it can be done, and it can save you a fair amount of money than having to replace the entire bag taper.
