Hi,
You should check out the new Journal of Histotechnology. There's an article about TMA's that answers your questions.

There's probably too many factors involved to make a decent estimate.

Are you using tape transfer or a water bath? What size punches are you 
using? How experienced is the tech? etc. etc. etc.

I've seen techs take a perfect section in a few seconds, others that take 
minutes to get a decent cut. It's all dependant on your individual setup.
