Does this have to be oiled due to its high-carbon content?

D2 is tool steel and is somewhat rust resistant. Almost all steels will eventually rust. So, yes, it should be coeaned, oiled, and not stored in its sheath. I like garage door lube because it dries, or WD40 makes a long term corrosion inhibitor spray.

no knife should be stored in a leather sheath long term, the tanning acid will cause rust or discoloring of the blade. if you need to keep a knife ready to go, get a nylon or kydex type sheath. any good gun oil will work on a knife blade

You can if you want but I believe it would be unsanitary and unhealthy. It might be better to use a smaller amount and add oil and throw away the remainder.

I cannot find any need to oil the pump as it appears to be a completely sealed unit. Have been using for a couple of months without a problem.

I have not tried that but it should be no problem. Are you wanting to put the mineral oil on for a reason or has the item just been dressed with it in the past?

Quite frankly, I don't know. When I fry I move everything outdoors. I don't like the lingering odors. I would imagine the heat from the oil would transmit pretty well to the exterior surface since there is not much space between the oil resevoir and the exterior housing.

Yes, the shuttle race of the bobbin case does require oiling. Please see the section regarding machine care in the manual on the Juki website. Here is their website address: http://www.jukihome.com/downloads/manuals/HZL27Z_InstructionManual(GBESRU).pdf

I would say no, the coating should be dry to use this machine. Drop something wet into regular hot oil in a fry daddy.

No, it is also works as as a solvent to clean carbon and leave a lubricating film. You can use regular household products like OLD ENGLISH on stocks and such.

I brushed oil on it for the first use to season it...but no oil after that. I guess you could try it, but the instructions say to season it.

i do not think it is made for that. I would recommend to put it in a container with solvent, clean it good and then oil it good. thats only my opinion.

Not Sure!!! Unless you plan on eating it. I would stay with The product oil Thats Made for it? Common sense is your best Answer.

hi if you are cooking something with a high fat content then no but if it is not high in fat then yes but you only need to brush a bit of oil on the plate. hope this helps

I have been using mine for a few weeks now, and no, I didn't oil it at all. It's working great!

It comes oiled already, but you will have to buy oil the first time you clean it

Yes it has auto oiling. But you may have to adjust carbureter to keep it idling

It's not advisable to do so. You can find in the instructions with the proper amount of oil to be used.

The wood is retreated, so it is ready to use. No indication that it needs to ever be oiled. We also live in MN, and my wife LOVES hers. It is exactly like the one Paula uses on her TV show.
