Would it damage anything if I used a drop of honing oil? I know honing oil isnt NEEDED, but CAN I use it?

My husband says it won't harm the diamond rod and should not harm the carbide but it could possibly damage the ceramic slot, not 100% on that. He never used any oil with his.

Nothing in the instructions that comes with this trimmer mention using any oil to lube the blade...If it is not called for by the manufacturer it probably is not needed..However...after repeated use some tree`s or bush`s might leave a sticky residue on the blade that could slow down the operation of this trimmer...it might be a good idea to spray a little WD40 on the blade....WD40 is a light oil that will not build up on the blade ....

I use standard generic chain saw oil with no problem and I have never drained it out. I have never had any oil dripping as a result. Love my Makita!

I don't think this oil will hurt your gun but I don't know any about the gun you have. So I would not know where all you would need to lube it.

I wouldn't use oil on it. Because it gets super-heated, I would think the baking steel would start to smolder with the oil on it.

I've been having good results by using vegetable cooking oil for my kitchen knives. Additionally I rinse several times during sharpening to keep grit down. It's a cheap stone so I don't care if the oil breaks it down or anything.

Its not an oil problem its a design flaw. there is a review that tells how to repair it above. IF you dump it right after ever use there shouldn't be to much of a problem.

Since it has a standard durability coating and it is carbon instead of stainless steel, I don't see why you couldn't use it. For the purpose of corrosion control, you could use almost any fluid oil, BUT if you will be using the blade for food prep, I would definitely use a food grade oil product.

Depends on how badly tarnished and how much elbow grease you plan to use. The product is not a "dip it" kind of product. You apply it then rub and do it again as necessary. Be careful with any metal -- if it is lacquered metal it could be a problem. Test first.

It depends on what you're using it for. On some guns traditional oil will "fly" off and leak into other parts of the firearm. Something heavier, like Slip EWL-30 or grease or a semi-fluid liquid, will prevent that from happening. Overall you probably won't notice a difference if you never experienced the above and would simply waste money.I doubt it would gunk up faster. If it is gunking up it probably means you put too much on or you're not storing it properly or you don't have a very good cleaning schedule.

Yes, a small cut towards the very top. So only drops will come out. Oil is thick you only need a few drops.

my best assumption -from experience , is to always use the lubricant thats called for . when i used an oil other than what was called for on a seal , it ruined the seals . also remember to use the required oil sparingly ( follow the recommended anount and frequency)

Sue I have not found this to be true. I do put a drop of oil on the blade before useing. I also shut it off when moveing around and changeing position. I also use three different blades during triming and this gives the blade a rest between use. Hope this helps.

works well without honing oil,as wet stone using water just as well havent used honing oil but would think it would be good

We do NOT recommend that you do this at all. This oil should be used on its own. thank you.

You should not use oil with this type of sharpener. The youtube website has a few good videos on this sharpener.

You definitely need to oil it well before use! I let the oil sink in on all sides overnight before wiping and use.
