Cutting oil

Can you use chainsaw "bar and chain" cutting oil in the Toyo and also in your grinder, or will it screw it up?
Answer
I asked my husband about that oil (I know nothing about chainsaws!) and he said absolutely no...don't use it. It's way too thick and would gum up your cutter. You could use kerosene, three-in-one-oil, or sewing machine oil.
As for your grinder...I have never heard of oil being used with a grinder. I assume you are referring to grinder lubricant that gives the diamond head a longer lifetime. The chainsaw oil would get in the diamond grit and cause problems. If you want a lubricant in the water, put in a drop or two of dishwashing detergent.
