i got a user 1200 supergrind at auction and it does not have the water tray for the grind stone. are there still available? i suppose i could always just make one. if anyone has a manual for it and knows where to get knife guides and angle gauges that would be great as i dont have those just the grinder itself.

These tutorials should help you. Afaik all actual jigs for T8/T4 fit to your machine.
Welcome to the forum, Matt.
Here is a link to the water trough. Although it is listed for the T3 and T4, it should also fit the T1200. Sharpening Supplies supplies most of the Tormek parts in the US, however, with the part number, any Tormek dealer should be able to order it for you. You might want to check with support (support@tormek.se) to double check its compatibility. Tormek prides itself on "no Tormek left behind", so parts are available.

You should register your T1200 on Tormek's website. While no warranty remains, registering lets you view and download the latest edition of the handbook. I downloaded it onto my ipad and refer to it frequently.
Do keep us posted.
