Great idea if there is no downside. I always have plenty of it. Anybody
else using air tool oil? Is it different/better than sewing machine oil? I
mentioned sewing machine grease earlier, which is different. Sewing machine
oil, a very light pure oil used for instruments and of course sewing
machines. But tool oil is much cheaper and you can get it anywhere. Hmmmm.
Anyone know for sure?
