Recommended Posts

I finally have gotten my air scribe of course it did not come as a kit (got it off the bay) i searched some on the Internet for instructions to no avail see photo... does anyone know where i can get instructions for this as i need to know what lubricant to use with it and it would be nice to know in case i need to to put it back together again after maintenance.

thanks

for years i have been using sewing machine oil, squirting a few drops in the quick disconnect at the upstream end of the hose with every few hours of use. it will form a film inside the hose and gradually migrate to the scribe at a seemingly controlled rate. no noticeable problems thus far. enjoy your new toy....you'll wonder how you ever had patience for those silly dremel electric engravers!

me to as i find in-line oilers unreliable at times.

Like Dan, I put a few drop of lubricating oil at the quick connect. I use a pneumatic tool lubricating oil. Be careful not too use too much oil as it will spit out at the scribe end onto your fossil.
