Ok so pretty much when i got my Injecta it had some lube and the machine no instruction wich is sweet as >but i was wondering when to lube it <like everytime i use it ??after along long session?? once a month ? when it sticks??.its a pretty simple question but id rather ask then risk anything happening to the machine .It works so goodi love it and the results have really impressed me.Im working on some pieces at the moment wich are not finished but when they are i will post pictures.:cool:

It puts the lotion on its skin. (sorry, couldn't resist)

I'm not savvy on Inkjecta so I probably shouldn't even be responding, but most rotaries usually need lubing once every 200 hours or so.

Or else it gets the hose again....

I don't know about the injecta, but Neotats suggest at least every 200 hours. If you are hearing more loudness than usual, you might re lube it.

I watch the amp draw (mine usually runs 0.22 loaded) and lube it when that starts to creep up or, when it starts making more noise than normal.

smart! I never thought of watching the amp draw, I usually go by feel. I'm going to start paying more attention to that.
