Welcometo the forum, Kevin.

First suggestion, have you seriously digested the habdbook?

If, by chance, you do not have a copy of the print edition of the handbook, when youregister your Tormek on the Tormek website, you can download the latest online edition. I downloaded it on my iad and refer to it often.

Kevin,

Your printed copy of the handbook should be a working book. Mine has a lot of underlining and hilighting. I note page numbers with topics in the front as well as notes in the margins.

Inside the cover is a good place to note the serial number, date and dealer name and contact information.

Make sure to have a copy, either printed or online of the handbook in your primary language.

All good tips Ken. It is a great resource.
