Just noticed this
I never noticed this in a door wedge before, a piece of felt inside. Would this be for lubrication? Or what?

Re: Just noticed this
I've seen a couple like that too, lubrication would be my guess.

Re: Just noticed this
I've seen that on repros. I make my own solid ones.

Re: Just noticed this
The part is mfgd. By stamping and folding, and after Gary's comment I see mine has two oil holes, one on each side. Unnoticed before.

Re: Just noticed this
So, what grade of oil and brand is best? What viscosity, would 600 work better? Last but not least: what's the service interval?

Re: Just noticed this
I use Shell 30w non-detergent for my dovetails. You can get a discount price on it if you buy a 55-gallon barrel directly from your local distributor. I got an additional 10% off for being a senior. Once a year seems adequate. I only use it on my door dovetails, though. I put detergent oil in my engines.

Re: Just noticed this
It should last for the rest of the year, at least.
