Hi! I am a knifemaker (well a beginning one anyway) that wants to give this engraving thing you guys seem to like so much a try. ![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I bought a used Gravermeister and small vise from a friend. The vise needs a base and some jaws as you can see. Concerning the Gravermeister, since it hasn't run in a while (how long I have no idea), should I do anything to it like overall cleaning and oiling and changing those old hoses?
Or just leave it alone and run it as is? You know, if it ain't broke don't fix it!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
