Just found your channel with this video. Have subscribed. What an absolutely awesome mod. I’ve got the pesky ball valve oilers on my lathe and mill and they seem to force more oil outside than inside. This video has me thinking about replacing those ball valve oilers with grease zerk fittings and making your oiler. Now the disc w/O-ring was simply to contain the oil? There would be a hole where the plunger exited the tube so the disc was just an oil dam? Yes?
That's all there is to it? Jeez, I thought it'd be much more involved than that. I guess I'll have to give it a try, thanks for the video! Happy New Year to you.
Just subscribed to your channel and asked about the phase 2 quick change tool post you adapted to your older lathe? Where did you find it? I have a old prentice bros lathe and would like to buy me that setup.
Got to use it upside down
Yes, I forgot to mention that in the video. Thanks!
Cool. Now make a manifold and mount up the grease gun so you can shoot a little oil into all the fittings simultaneously
Good idea!

Hello,
Top tip there, thank you.... I am going to make one... Happy New Year...
Take care
Paul,,
That's a great tip. I will make one of those. Happy new year
I have an old mill and a lathe with those oil zerks, so this is very helpful. Great tip!
Glad it was helpful!
Very cool mod
Good tip...
Love tips like these. Just curious, could you have used just regular old grease in this case or is that improper lubrication for these ways?
They were not designed for grease. My machine had grease in it that I spent a bunch of time cleaning. I run a way oil in most of the machine.
@@precisionmachineshed Got it, thanks for responding and the content.
Nice job. We posted this video on our homemade tools forum this week :)
Thanks, hope it helps some folks out!
NICE

I bought it from enco which was bought by msc direct I belive.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Out dated garbage.
What are you referring to, the shaper, or the oil gun?
