Hank,
I've used the HM 325 before with great results. It was very smooth and
consistent and provided excellent sectioning. I would call Richard-Allan and
speak with a technical rep. 1-800-522-7270.

		I was asked to troubleshoot a Microm HM315 rotary microtome.
It skips a section
		on a regular basis. I have experience with other microtomes
but never used a
		Microm before. Can someone tell me how to remove the cover
so I can check the
		belt if it has one or the cogs to see if it is missing a
tooth. Or tell me what
		usually causes this problem. I would appreciate any help I
can get.

		Thanks,
