I've had mine for about 2 months, and all I can say at the moment to help is to read the Tips & Tricks, browse this forum, and, of course, read the manual.

Hello TritonGeorge,

Have you been made aware of the Free Monthly Tips & Tricks? I spoke to Sam about them at the IWF show about a week ago. (He mentioned he would like to see them translated into French.) They contain a lot of info that might come in handy for you. If you haven't read them yet, you can download them all by clicking the appropriate link below my signature.

Please let me know if I can do anything for you, here on the Forum or via CarveBuddy.
