Cutting oil dispenser

Whilst I can appreciate the cheapness, wouldn't it be easier to just use a cheapo thumb-pump type can?
I bought a couple of them for about a fiver, with a semi-flexible spout rather than the one pictured. Great for dropping oil on a parting-off tool... Of course, you do need that third hand to hold it...

If you run the parting off/crosslide on auto you won't need that third hand... providing you've got power X feed...?

Ade,
By having a 'paste brush' in the pot you can apply small quantities of oil where and when you need it without bringing something metallic into the vacinity of fast spinning bits that you are turning, drilling etc
If you look at the child's paint pot picture that I posted, the brush is in situ

Wouldnt be without it for parting off......
I use the inexpensive WD40 equivalent from Screwfix for applying lube.....£5 a tin....

Good for spraying the machine all over after cleaning down..too..

:coffee: it's not the cost, it's about making something. You can spend an hour in front of the TV or you can spend an hour in the workshop and improve your maker skills. This is Mad Modders, so converting an empty tin of fish and a plumbing fitting into a useful workshop widget should be seen for what it is. Otherwise we might as well be Mad Couldn't be Arsed to Make.
:doh:

I do agree with you Joules, but that approach cannot be taken too far or we'd all be making our own nuts and bolts - ok I do sometimes where a 'special' is needed :med:
