dampeoples Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 I use 3 in 1, just a drop, or it'll end up in the cavities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 The same as Dampeoples. I bought it at Menards. BTW any oil will work. Some oil is better than no oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeves Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Same here, 3 in 1 oil. It does the job plus I kinda like the smell of it as it burns off. Ditto on 'some oil is better than no oil'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 George, We must be making jigs too long, or the insanity is setting in. I thought the same thing about the oil. It does have sort of a sweet smell to it. Wow, that's weird. Ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelly Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 thread tapping oil. Agree on any better than none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richoc Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 I use mobil one , one drap last a long time and it doesn't smoke and burn up and leave the black in the hinge area. You will only need to oil the hinge like 1/10th the times as before. You can feel the diff. insantly. No burning smell when the mold gets hot. Really will make a huge diff. just try it.

WidowMaker Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I use 3 n 1 oil and re-apply it regularly even if it looks like plenty of oil is there. I use cheap cotton swabs to remove the excess black oil from the hinge area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
