Cobra Class 26 Oil Resorvoir Pan

[rodneyv]

Can someone tell me if I am supposed to add oil to the oil resorvoir pan on the Cobra Class 26. I can't find anything that discusses this pan. I can only find info on the individual spots to add drops of oil. If you don't add oil, what is the purpose of the pan?

I am going to assume you mean the pan that sits inside the base of the machine. Some Class 341 machines have a pan while others don't. The pan is used to catch the oil drips from the shafts and bearings of the machine so they don't drip onto your table top. Some install a scrap of cloth either in the pan or if their machine didn't come with a pan on the table top to catch the oil drips.

My class 26 has the pan also, I believe it is a catch pan  to keep excess oil from your table
