The machine is straightforward to run, but a short handover pays for itself. The points that matter are setting marking force for your materials, switching pitch, seating round and flat specimens correctly, and recognising when the needle needs attention.

Getting force setting right at the start is the most valuable part, since it decides whether marks stay readable after fracture without being deep enough to influence the break.

Training is delivered alongside installation, so your team is running specimens before we leave.
