I started in flat woodworking and one of the cardinal rules was NO oil, silicon, WD40, etc. anywhere it could contact wood. If it happened you could / would have a problem in the finishing stage.
Is Woodturning different?
I see videos that say to put a little oil on the bushing in a knurling tool before use. Or to oil the bushin on the mini Sorby texturing & spriling tools.
I see videos that say to spray WD40 on your bandsaw table and lathe ways to prevent rust.
Doesn't the wood sliding across the bandsaw table pickup part of the table's coating?
Doesn't the oil on a knurling / texturing / spiraling tool spray off onto the wood?
Please help me understand this apparent contradiction.
