Just a couple of questions because maybe I'm just too ignorant to find the answers in the search function...
I take it the the little holes on the pivot points
of my Stars are for oil. I've never seen anyone say anything about it. I know without oiling these points and any other moving parts on the sizer is going to cause stress and wear faster. For years I've been using some steam cylinder oil which is roughly 600w to good effect on these points and the slide bars and it doesn't run too much even with the heater going.
The Mrs doesn't like me to wear my good cotton shirt with lubrisizing though.
How she can tell it's from it rather than hamburger grease I'll never know!
Anyway, just my observation.
