That as fascinating! I know that a few of my machines need those things. Now I don't have to break the bank buying them. Thank you for a very helpful video!
I really enjoy all the little projects you show us. A great way to use up a lot of the cutoffs from certain jobs over the years, and have fun at the same time.
As a 75 YO home gamer, I'm with you regarding the ridiculous cost from MSC for a few small oilers. This was a very good tutorial how to work around and I appreciate your explanation how to avoid the cost.
Again I have learned a new technique from you Mr. Pete. When you were turning the outside diameter of the tube and you used the stop to get the correct length, I had never seen that done before.
MR Pete, I have to tell you something funny. I was watching another video of something last night and had the playback set to 1.25 times. When I started yours I forgot that it was still set that way. You said it was going to be quick, it sounded like you drank 3 pots of coffee! Thanks for the video and edumacation!
Thanks for sharing, Mr. Pete! I tried making some oils but struggled with crimping the ball/spring in. Your method is far superior. I found that just buying some was much easier 🤣
Yes we do but,,,,, if I had him for 4 years as a shop teacher I might have chosen a different path and not be so crippled from building houses my whole life.
I have been tracking some Gits Oilers on eBay for my recently revived Champion Blower and Forge 20" camel back drill press. It has a lot of open oil holes that can allow dirt and debris to get in.
Lyle - Another great video as I watch the snow fall and have a cup of coffee. Keep it up. Why would we want to buy something we could make? I have one screwball size that I'll have to make now - good tips there. Thank you and have a good weekend.
Great video! I need to make a couple for a $5 scrap yard Italian RC50/2 sensitive drill I refurbished recently. One comment though: I think if there were more clearance between the ball and the sides of the tube, then the oil would go past easier.
I scrolled down until I saw your comment because that is exactly what I observed. Use a little smaller ball or up the ID. Very little clearance is what caused the oil push back even though some did get to the way.
Thanks Lyle. I bought a bunch of those oilers from China when I made the Pull Gear, but seeing them made "for real" is much more satisfying. Regards, Preso
Love to see you making useful stuff.........now, any hints about how to get the clogged ones out? thanks for the video, it's always nice to see you making stuff
If I needed a bunch of those and they wanted $8 a piece for them, I'd be inclined to make them too. I wish I knew how to make oil metering units for CNC central oiling systems - they're REALLY proud of those things - they're like double the price of these ball oilers, and that's if you get the cheap knock offs - if you want the official Bijour ones, YIKES
I always wondered how the ball was kept in, now I know. It has applications on many other items. As is the case one often has to make something to fix something else, probably not too cost effective but very satisfying when you are done and it works.
Lyle; I have the GOOD FORTUNE (also known as bad fortune) of having a MSC HUGE warehouse about 30 minutes drive from my front door. I can place an order online as a "will pickup" and have a cup of coffee, jump in the car and go get it. I sometimes order from Little machine Shop,
Hiya Mr. Pete. 1st Period shop! The last time you showed that tailstock I wondered why the oil groove is "V" on one side and just a slanted line on the other. Do you know why?
Great project, love the crimping punch method . Yes you can buy cheap but how do you price the satisfaction of creating a part yourself . Best wishes for 2025 . ☘️👍
Whenever I can, I remove the ball type oil cups and install the the type with the hinged lid. Just me preference. On my 10K SB I installed the larger cups.
That as fascinating! I know that a few of my machines need those things. Now I don't have to break the bank buying them. Thank you for a very helpful video!
I really enjoy all the little projects you show us. A great way to use up a lot of the cutoffs from certain jobs over the years, and have fun at the same time.
That is exactly what I do.
Never would have thought about these necessary little items until you need one. Thank you and happy New Year.
I would never have thought of making these. Really ingenious!
cause you can buy em
easy
Very good, Mr. Pete. Thanks for sharing you’re wealth of knowledge. Priceless.
As has already been said, I never would have thought about making these. *Fantastic* video!
I appreciate the custom tools you make and the techniques to do the project!!
Glad you like them!
I'm really glad you showed us this. This is great for making ones in sizes that may not be available "off the shelf."
As a 75 YO home gamer, I'm with you regarding the ridiculous cost from MSC for a few small oilers. This was a very good tutorial how to work around and I appreciate your explanation how to avoid the cost.
Yeah, sure you can buy anything, but it's always better to know ya can fix anything. Great job Mr. Pete!
Always enjoy these short diy.
I love how a lathe can reproduce parts for itself.
Very nice video Mr. Pete! Have a wonderful weekend!
Very nice finished product and great tips.
Clever! The old dog always teaches the young(er) pups new tricks!
Again I have learned a new technique from you Mr. Pete. When you were turning the outside diameter of the tube and you used the stop to get the correct length, I had never seen that done before.
👍👍👍
Always great to see you making chips.
This is great for those of us whom need some of these! Very helpful video!
MR Pete, I have to tell you something funny. I was watching another video of something last night and had the playback set to 1.25 times. When I started yours I forgot that it was still set that way.

😀😀
That's pretty good, Mr. Pete!
This video included very helpful "tricks." It was amazing how fast you made it.
Thank you from the Netherlands Mr. Pete! I need one in a very strange size now I know how to make one.
Another good shop class.
Great mr pete !!! I have one on my jet 13 40 needs to be replaced great idea !! Thanks pete !!!!
Great video Mr. Pete!
Thanks for sharing, Mr. Pete! I tried making some oils but struggled with crimping the ball/spring in. Your method is far superior. I found that just buying some was much easier 🤣
Awesome project Mr. Pete. Wish I would have had a shop teacher like you in High School.
At least we have him now. I have learned so much over the years from Mr Pete. Thank you.
Yes we do but,,,,, if I had him for 4 years as a shop teacher I might have chosen a different path and not be so crippled from building houses my whole life.
I love this stuff. Nothing like the empowerment of saying, "heck, let's just make one"
True
Saturday morning with Mr. Pete. Priceless!
This is my favorite kind of video. I wouldn't have thought of making these parts. Exellent class Mr Pete.🔩⚒️🔧
Glad you enjoyed it.
Really an incredible short. I never would have thought about making one. Thank you.
Great video as always, Mr Pete. Your project videos are my favorite videos to watch
I have been tracking some Gits Oilers on eBay for my recently revived Champion Blower and Forge 20" camel back drill press. It has a lot of open oil holes that can allow dirt and debris to get in.
I now realize I can buy 20 of them for eight dollars on eBay, lol
That came out great
I like that stop in the tool post. Great Idea!
Lyle - Another great video as I watch the snow fall and have a cup of coffee. Keep it up. Why would we want to buy something we could make? I have one screwball size that I'll have to make now - good tips there. Thank you and have a good weekend.
That looks like a great skill building project! Thanks for sharing Mr. Pete!
About $1 each for metric ones from Little Machine Shop. But I like that you can make them. I might have to try that. 👍🏻
Thanks, I will look into it
Great video! I need to make a couple for a $5 scrap yard Italian RC50/2 sensitive drill I refurbished recently. One comment though: I think if there were more clearance between the ball and the sides of the tube, then the oil would go past easier.
That’s a good idea!

Nicely done…. Are you going to shim up the tail stock to compensate for the wear? I wouldn’t mind seeing that done
nice job!
Thanks Lyle. I bought a bunch of those oilers from China when I made the Pull Gear, but seeing them made "for real" is much more satisfying.
Regards, Preso
I bet they weren't $8.75 cents each from China.
Thanks, Mark, I enjoy your videos also
Thank you for sharing! Great video!
Great result, thanks for posting
Love to see you making useful stuff.........now, any hints about how to get the clogged ones out? thanks for the video, it's always nice to see you making stuff
Small dent puller
the pleasure of making "free parts", 1 hour labour and a $10 000 machine. Worth every cent invested!
Lol
I missed it, which one is the $10k machine?
@6:45 Was anybody else hoping to hear Mr. Pete say, "Tappy, tap, tap?"
Thank you Mr Pete
Howdy Mr Pete, great work there sir, I'd look forward to a full length video, thanks for sharing
That look like a fun exercise. Haha Thanks for the video
Good morning Mr.Pete. Great video...thanks!!
My favorite video is always you making chips. Look forward to your next video.
Good 1😊
Per your advice Mr. Pete, I ordered one of those Vevor drill sharpeners and I'm impressed. It does a great job!
👍 I’m glad you like it
I love this.....I LOVE THIS.....I love this!!!
Good morning Mr Pete !!
Love the video, I learnt how
Thank you Mr. Pete. I might just make a few.
I can see myself doing the same thing,thanks Mr.Pete 🤗😎🤗😎
Nice work. I was wondering when we were going to see you again
I made some custom oilers from 22LR shell casings for use on my upgraded mill/drill. Cheers!
Great idea! I might try that thank you
If I needed a bunch of those and they wanted $8 a piece for them, I'd be inclined to make them too. I wish I knew how to make oil metering units for CNC central oiling systems - they're REALLY proud of those things - they're like double the price of these ball oilers, and that's if you get the cheap knock offs - if you want the official Bijour ones, YIKES

👍👍
Awesome 😎
Good job . Don’t have it , make it !
Necessity is the mother of invention!
Excellent. Thanks! (My lathe is a 17x72 LeBlond, circa 1940.)
Enlightening !!!
Great video! We need stuff to make anyway, why not something useful instead of candle holders?
I enjoyed the video
Good morning, John
Thanks Mr. Pete
I might modify my 9A tailstock with oil gits. My saddle already runs on turcite. Might add oil gits on saddle as well.
I want to do that to both of my atlas machines
Lyle; I have the GOOD FORTUNE (also known as bad fortune) of having a MSC HUGE warehouse about 30 minutes drive from my front door. I can place an order online as a "will pickup" and have a cup of coffee, jump in the car and go get it. I sometimes order from Little machine Shop,

"...and I'll see you in my next video. I hope."
You bet that I will see you. I wouldn't miss it!
😀😀
Nice job. We could buy them but what's the fun in that. If you needed a hundred ok. I want it today so I make it today. Thanks
RDG Tools in the UK sell packets of 20 of these spring ball lubricators at 3/8" diameter for £6.95 GBP including free postage.
Thanks, I think I will order it back
Do you think South Bend made that tailstock oiler arrangement, or did your brother modify the tailstock? I've never seen one like that.
Now you got me, wondering
Morning Lyle
Good morning, this time i have coffee
Comment for the algorithm 👍👍
Hiya Mr. Pete. 1st Period shop! The last time you showed that tailstock I wondered why the oil groove is "V" on one side and just a slanted line on the other. Do you know why?
Great video Mr Pete, I'm looking for the forward and reverse gears for 13" southbend lathe 28 tooth and a 34 tooth main gear..??
Ebay
Thank you.
Would it be possible to induction harden them?
Why would you want to?
@ to reduce wear???? I am talking about the underside of the tail stock…
Great project, love the crimping punch method . Yes you can buy cheap but how do you price the satisfaction of creating a part yourself . Best wishes for 2025 . ☘️👍
I had no idea a gits oiler would cost that much, that's crazy. I'd have thought $8 would buy a little pack of them.
Me too
👍🏻☕️
Sorry I'm late, slept in till 5 ...
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Whenever I can, I remove the ball type oil cups and install the the type with the hinged lid. Just me preference. On my 10K SB I installed the larger cups.
Another channel was asking viewers as to how to get oil past the ball that sealed the fitting.
I don't know if they were helped. 😂
👍🏼
👍🏻👍🏻
Good morning
Lol I'll send you 100x GITTS oilers if you dont do easy things like this again.
I swear to god.
You can't buy one .252 so knowing how to make it is valuable
Yes
Less than $5 each from McMaster-Carr if you buy ten or more.
Thanks, I might make a handful
Wouldn't make one for less than $50? That's why we are in the mess that we are in today, China and other countries will.
I looked on ebay and can find a pack of 20 for £4.25
But that's no fun, making your own is better and helps you hone basic lathe skills
That's a ridiculous price.
