Contributing Member Ferg Posted February 3, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted February 3, 2012 Yaaah! I try to remember that also but the gray matter doesn't register all the time so I have to wipe it off with a paper towel after I screw something up. LOL ferg Hahahahum..been there, done that. When you put it to bed at night, place a piece of cardboard or such and lower your foot. That helps collect the excessive oil used by a newbie. I know how? Turn it back down six turns! Quote
Tree Reaper Posted February 3, 2012 Author Report Posted February 3, 2012 Yes I paid for it and I have it but I haven't installed it yet. Hey Tree Reaper, did you not pay extra for the table extension?? Turn it back down six turns! Yes, I made a point of marking it and counting the turns. I started with a half turn and kept going up to six but it wasn't having any affect so I started looking at other possibilities. The cardboard is a good idea, thanks. Quote
Members jack523 Posted April 1, 2012 Members Report Posted April 1, 2012 Back to the oil leaking down the foot post, I also have to take the thread out of the thread pot to prevent the oil from wicking down thread. This happened to me on day i had a puddle of silicone oil on the bed. I use 100% silicone copier oil for my thread lube. Yes I paid for it and I have it but I haven't installed it yet.
