Oiling the Artisan Toro 3000

Recommended Posts

Since Artisan's service is so good, I COULD just call and ask, but Johanna wanted some posts here..... :cowboy:

Do I need to oil the bobbin? The instructions are pretty clear about oiling the head, at the holes marked with red paint, but I don't see any instructions for oiling the bobbin mechanics.

I put a drop or two on the shuttle race every time i sit down down to stitch and every couple of hours of continuous stitching.

Hi Russ,

I run lube pots on my big stitchers and seldom NEED to oil the race, however, it won't hurt to put a drop on the race every 10 or so hours. Do you have a hole in the needle plate you can put a drop into? Keep in mind, you shouldn't have a puddle of oil in there, but if you do don't panic, they're kind of like Harleys, if you don't see oil on the driveway, a little more won't hurt. Almost everyone over oils.

Hi Luke,

You mean the bobbin race, that works. Also some folks will put a few drops on the thread in the bobbin which is ok too, but if they do that, they also need to oil the race. Any kind of oiling is better than not oiling.
