Can I use plain vegetable oil to lubricate my paper shredder blades?
The shredder came with a unoriginal bottle of some sort of oil, but I lost it. Can I use vegetable oil without risk of damaging the element?
Thanks in advance!
Oil is a barren choice, IMHO.
Powdered graphite would not gum up the works, as the paper produces magnificent dust which attaches to the oil, and requires more intense maintenance.
Powdered graphite to hand on line.
I use to work
