Beginner here! Thank you for that initial post Ken! I only wish that I had read it before today. I received my T-7 yesterday and spent my free time reading the manual and watching videos. I then set up my machine and chose a "throw-away" knife to start on today after work. I wish I had started on a 3/4" chisel, but that will happen tomorrow.
Here are some things that are a bit unclear in the start up instructions:
How much light machine oil needs should be applied to the honing wheel initially?
How much honing compound do you use initially?
How often to you reapply honing compound and how much?
Do you ever need to reapply light machine oil?
I realize that these are very vague questions and there is no pre-measured amount (i.e. a tablespoon), but any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Again thanks for that post and I look forward to many years with my T-7.
