I neglected to "oil" the honing wheel, prior to the first use. Is there a way to get back to "square one", or will the wheel still function properly without the initial "oiling"? ???
I use baby oil (mineral oil), and oil periodically to keep the honing wheel "moist" so the honing compound works better. I sometimes use a courser honing compound on stuborn turning tools. If I don't use the Tormek for awhile, I always use a few drops of oil on the wheel. So just oil the leather wheel whenever it is too dry, is what I go by.
