I have all three of the Tandy rotary punches.
They were in different tool sets I bought at g-sales.
All three are nice shinny JUNK!
Have an old Osborne with a broken return spring I will go looking for before grabing the Tandys.
It sat for year or more and didn't oil it for small job.
I was woried about running without oiling again.
Must be a hole in a casting holding the oil.
Will try running it to sling the oil out.
Thank you for the info.
Have a 618 Artisan.
Have not used it for a year.
Wiped the oil off the needle and sewed about 4 Ft.
Oil would come back every 6 in or so.
Now doing 3-4 in , wipe off and about 2 in the oil is back.
What can be done to keep the oil off the leather?
Lubing with Neetsfoot oil not an option.
Thank you
