I'm getting a Mahogany Rolling Pin. Would this be useful or harmful for using on the rolling pin?

Mineral oil is not harmful. It is a super refined food-safe finish. You can apply and re-apply whenever the rolling pin appears dry.

It would not be harmful. It is Mineral Oil and Beeswax, all natural ingredients. However, your rolling pin may have a finish on it when you get it. If it is does not have a finish on it, Howards Butcher Block would work. I used it on a butcher block on my island which was just dry wood when I got it. I used it every night for a week then once a week for a month. Now I use it once a month.

I don't see how it would be harmful. If the pin is drying, this would be a good pick. I think it is a great product. Just be sure to warm it a little (maybe in a hot water bath) and shake it up a lot before using.

Use logic if you don't want damage to appear like moving your rear sight use brass,use proper steel punches on your roll pins if you want to use brass on roll pins it wont hurt, in short brass is best on any job you do to your firearm but steel works on roll pin's make sure it's the right size for the pin.

I have no personal experience in using it in this manner. However, in my professional career in working with and routinely finding myself in commercial kitchens, I have seen the older style broader tipped Bernzomatics used for the type of purposes you describe. That doesn't mean it was proper or effective. This one is pretty narrow thus hot to quickly solder plumbing. Happy toasting.

In my opinion,this rolling pin is better..you have more pin to work with and you spread out more dough in one roll..I love it..give it a try..you will like it..

I do not think so, what I would do is lubricate the areas real well where the blade rotates at because when new it is good and tight as it should be. Once it is used a couple of times it breaks in so to say. I did mine that way and every couple times I use it and it makes it easier to get rolling/cutting. Be sure to pick up any loose twigs/limbs in your yard because they will hang the blade up. It cuts good..!!

I wouldn't use it that way. I don't believe it will provide he safety you need without spindles . Using this between spindles may allow you to space the spindle a little further apart.

I bought mine to replace a cloth I'd had for years. I just scraped it with a flat blade, added a bit more flour, and scraped it again. Then I store it covered with paper towels, wrapped around the rolling pin and stored in a clean plastic bag. But if you're rolling out spicy dough, you might want to wash it with warm water and gentle cycle. Btw, I also bought the non-slip product to place the pastry cloth on...and roll it along with the whole thing. I love the non-slip thing as the cloth stays put!

I would try it before tossing it. It will be a texture issue, not a safety issue. You will have to decide if you are ok with it or not.

ALL roll pins are steel. Therefore for these to WORK and to be properly called Roll Pin Punches they must work on Steel. HOWEVER your Parenthetical point about red hot, leaves open the question of why you would use them on HOT pins, Sinc roll pins require them to retain their temper to work, you would not heat the pin red hot. And second, you NEVER drive a red hot pin under ANY circumstances and it would literally weld into place due to the expansion of the hot metal forming into and heating the interior surface of the hole it is in/entering. Also in regards to those who had issues using these. Roll pin punches of smaller sizes are NOT brute force items. You do Not beat on them with large hammers, you MUST make sure you are driving the pin in the correct direction, as the holes they are used in are tapered, you must make sure the punch is absolutely straight and inline with the pin you are removing and the work piece MUST be properly supported with a proper bench block that prevents the piece from shifting as well as having a hole to allow the pin to exit through. If you don't have a block available and don't have time to order one, go to the local sporting goods store and get a cheap hockey puck and drill a hole in it (slow speed light pressure, clear the bit of chips every quarter inch so the rubber doesn't melt) to make an acceptable substitute if you don't want to order one, and do NOT use a plastic/nylon mallet to drive them. use brass/copper or steel as anything that bounces loses power breaking spring tension supplied by roll pins free. I am A professional Armorer, and use roll pin punches every day. I don't break or bent them because I KNOW how to USE them!

I would not use for wood flooring. Use only high quality top of the line pins to avoide jams.

I'm sorry, I do not know. I searched all over the web trying to find the answer & cannot find it anywhere. It just says that it is a "hardwood". We really like this rolling pin.

I saw this article on the website: "DO NOT USE BAR KEEPERS FRIEND ON:Gold, silver, pewter, marble, lacquered metals, or anodized aluminum". Hope this helps.

I would say yes although I do not use a guide myself. As long as it rolls smoothly and does not drag I see no reason for it to do any damage.

I use a RCBS Rock Chucker that I have had for over 30+ yrs. Shouldn't be an issue as I have used other Dies, such as Lee and others.

I would use it in any postion. It has a sleeve bearing they are only good for so many spins remember you get what you pay for.

Momof3boys has it right..........t'is a great "idiot proof" rolling pin....I've had mine for over thirty years and never a problem with the discs cracking. I do not, however, submerge them in water or clean them in the dishwasher.

I wouldn't use these for regular pins. Because they have a round tip to fit in the roll pin.They sell punches for straight pins.
