Can't remember. Makes sense though.
There is a YouTube video (can't find the link) of a type IX on patrol and they have salvage wet gear. Shows them going over the side to do some welding repairing something.

Hi John,
this one is a small lathe so, i guess, it wouldn't be so power consuming.It looks that they had it for making small shafts,gears or threads on the fly (really necessery item imo). Cleaning oil and scrap metal, for sure, was not a problem for the...captain...all he said was "clean the lathe"..."yes sir"....
