My Talon chuck is getting "sticky" when trying to open or close the jaws. The Oneway manual says to soak the chuck briefly in mineral spirits along with "about 10% oil" and then blow it dry.
I'm wondering- what kind of oil? The manual doesn't specify.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I imagine just about any oil would work but I just blow the dust out without any oil or soaking. I don't need to do it very often at all and I would think that an oil film might make the dust attraction worse. billh
I use a light machine oil - like "3 in 1" or "Zoom-Spout" turbine oil - not to be confused with turban oil - both have worked just fine as far as I can tell.
I cleaned mine on it's 1 year anniversary...
All it needed was brushing and a few spots of dried finish from bowls scraped off with a wood scraper...
I sprayed all the parts with dry lube and put it back together... works like new, just like it always has.. It's a pretty bullet proof chuck, as long as you don't force it open and break the stop pin.. DAMHIKT
