I have used all sorts of these handy oilers, from some gel like Teflon to just plain 3 in One oil and they all do about the same, except this one. It actually does something, it is fantastic, it also seems to last for a very long time. Send me another case, I am going to sell these in my model train shop. What makes it work so well?
Thank you for the nice endorsement! This needle oiler is a super concentrated version of our SFR 100 and has a completely synthetic, water resistant and long life base oil. The needle oiler can be used with complete confidence that it will do everything you want it to.
We have a high-speed vertical mill and the needle bearings in the head seem to go out on a schedule all their own. We can't get replacements for this from Europe. We use the needle oiler and SFR 100 in just about all of our equipment. What do I do? With the SFR 100 we have more than doubled the life of this component, I need more than that!
Use the lubricant concentrate that comes in the small needle oiler, its designed for the most severe conditions and has unique oiliness additives not in other products. Do not mix it with the existing oil, use it in place of it. These high-speed bearings slide as well as spin and create lots of total friction drag. They also have a low tolerance for any shock loading so you need to protect them and reduce that repair rate.
