Cutting oil dispenser
Joules:
Yeah Ade, you know tuna, four legs and barks ???
This is the soldered edge I got on the tin, modern coatings makes good solder mask so you only need a needle file and light touch to open enough metal to tin with an iron, not much more than a scratch then wick the solder round the can joint. (too many tins)

Mine is a child's unspillable paint pot, with a rare earth magnet tossed in the bottom to stop it being knocked off the lathe so easily :ddb:

On a roll now :)
Made a second one for other lathe. With what I learned from the first can, I soldered the reinforcing wire to the underside of the lid. Don't really know why I didn't do it the first time round.
it was actually easier to solder as the ring is smaller this side and the solder easier to wick round.
Much neater topside with solder flashed all round the joint. Only apply heat to the copper fitting and you won't set fire to the coating on the can.
p.s Dog now turning his nose up at Tuna :scratch:
Biggles:
All you need now is a small magnet in the bottom and it won’t spill. :thumbup:
AdeV:
So... do you just pour the oil out of the top, then?
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...
