Title: Honing Wheel question
Post by: Lonny on April 16, 2009, 02:47:16 AM
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.
