The pour point of canola is -9c, which means when a container of it is tipped that's the point where it doesn't even move anymore. I'm not for sure that's what caused it to strip the thread, it's just plastic after all. I didn't notice the temps when it broke, but it does hit -40 here on...

I was kinda confused about that :lol:

No pics, it's a little makita xcu04, fixed it this last fall/ early winter

I didn't run mine dry, and it's just a little abs plastic worm screw. I've since started cutting the canola with acetone and that seems to be the ticket here. I also keep everything in an unheated garage, so it's basically asking it to gel.

I had a plastic oiler worm screw on a battery saw strip out on me, i decided that it was likely the canola oil freezing/gelling enough to cause it to jam, and it was plastic so it would save the pump. I really need to get that lathe going, took a few weeks to get the damn thing :lol:
