Jim, I used a square burr on my Dremel tool. Cuts right through the leather and leaves a nice neat hole. To clean the machine use sewing machine oil and cotton balls or soft flannel type cloth. There are several threads here by MUV and Skip ( Glenn) on cleaning and touching up the old machines. I'm having trouble with the forum format now so just do a search. MUV's threads on in a sticky at the top of the page so they should be easy to find. Joe
