I did not search to find exactly where but a short while back there was a discussion about what to use to lubricate the sheaves. One recommendation was a Zoom Spout oiler with which I wholeheartedly agree.
This morning, this popped up on my browser screen. I must have done an online search and Google now knows what I use. But look at the price differentials.
First observations are likely wrong. Factors like "unit of issue" and "shipping costs" confuse the conclusion.

That is costly. I find I can average paying around $2 a bottle for the Zoom Spout Turbine Oil. The $2.38 bottle at the bottom of the ad is where I have ordered from before. I always try to include a bottle of the Zoom Spout Turbine Oil with any part I sell that will require lubrication. I am finding that the more oil you put in the control sheave, the better the control sheave bearing will survive and continue to operate. I do not believe you can over oil this bearing. I have been having great success flushing out the control sheave bearing several times with lots of oil when it is out of the headstock.dusty wrote:I did not search to find exactly where but a short while back there was a discussion about what to use to lubricate the sheaves.

That looks to be about a 14 pack case for that price. But I didn't find that the ad said that.

If it is by the case, then perhaps this would be a good buy to use in the old jigsaw crankcase?
Which oil do you recommend for using in the old jigsaw? I have one in the attic awaiting restoration. I think I'll work on it after I'm finished with the scroll saw since I do have the assorted die files for it (which I could have used for many previous projects:) )

My point was that often the price does not tell all of the story. Unit of Issue is a major factor. Are you buying 1 each or are you buying a case lot. Some of the advertisers are clear on this while others are not.
Likewise, some ship free while others charge a shipping and handling fee. Sometimes the low cost item comes at a rather high shipping cost (a rip off in my opinion).
Buyer Beware

I use this oil in the jigsaw crankcase. It only takes 3 oz so do not put the whole bottle in the jigsaw as you can blow the seals and have oil coming out the breather hole.dj1960gold wrote:If it is by the case, then perhaps this would be a good buy to use in the old jigsaw crankcase?
