Do you use oil or water?

This is a Japanese waterstone. Use water. And remember to soak the stone for about 15-20 minutes prior to using.

no if you use a wine bottle but most people put water in then the oil because the oil floats on water and you dont have to use so much oil

You don't have to. I have used it with and without. It does seem to glide much smoother across the blade when I use honing oil. I've even heard of some people using water. Honing oil is relatively inexpensive, so I tend to use it.

You can use either with the Lansky stones. Water would be least of those two choices just due to friction-evaporation loss during use. I actually keep mine stored in old kerosene. Works great!

I use light vegetable oil. works perfect. I have not had it leak out sitting, but I have only owned it for about 6 months.

Yes you can. Although you need to use soapy water (and be careful not to put unit in water), I use Dawn and the cleanup is much easier. It works very fast to heat up also. Just take the cover off before you drain the oil out. One of my better investments.

Yes with water. I fill water level, then drop essential oil in and turn on. It infuses and disperses in a vapor form. I have used a variety of essential oils with no problem.

Just tap water! It actually comes with a measuring cup that you fill up to the line with the water and pour it into the diffuser! Super easy! Once I pour the water into the diffuser, then I add 3-6 drops of whatever oil I'm using & close lid and turn on!

I used 2 cups distilled water, 1/2 cup witch hazel (T.N. Dickinson's brand because it smells nice) and a squirt or two of the oil in a sports bottle -- you have to shake the mixture before using because the oil will separate. One bottle lasted me nearly 18 months this way.

Yes I have for both. I like it n it's reasonably priced. I also add other oils in.

Add a few drops of oil to two or three tablespoons of water. Strength of oil to your liking. I am more sensitive to strength soI use less oil. Enjoy!

I understand you can use water but I like oil better for floating off grit.

I use the pure oil in an atomizer bottle when I take it by mouth to help with chest congestion and coughing. When I applying the oil topically I use a carrier oil such as almond oil. I have not mixed this with water for the purposes I use it for.

I have used these bits both ways. Ideally I like to use cutting oil but sometimes if I am in a bind I will use them dry. The best bits I have ever owned.

I used the dishwasher. Since it is used to store oil, it tends to need the hottest water possible.

I just got the herbicide yesterday, & I'm reading the directions now. It clearly states to NOT mix oil & water as it apparently affects the efficacy. So, I suppose, you need to choose using one or the other.
