    Why is it that we sometimes save or appropriate funds for a new
    piece of equipment that we dream of owning, only to receive it with
    an instruction manual that would fit on the back of a matchbook? It's
    kinda like, "thanks for the purchase, good luck!" 

    I was in the scientific instrumentation business for a few decades
    and our manuals were 6 inches thick for a pH meter! What is it? Do
    the manufacturers of Jewelers equipment expect us to know how
    everything in the universe operates? My last purchase of what I
    consider a major aquisition had an instruction manual ! I was
    elated! A manual? wow! but it was in German! Usually it's just an
    invoice in that box! Am I alone on this? Even something as simple as
    a new quick release hand piece had no instructions.... Like service,
    or flip the collet around or how to clear a bur jam would have been
    helpful....Instead, I have to figure these things out....usually
    after I have to buy replacement parts for the tool I just broke
    trying to "Figure it out".....

    Just adding to the lack of instructions mentioned in the previous
    note....
