MAKE GITS OILER for SOUTH BEND LATHE TAILSTOCK

[@scottroland6577]

I forgot to compliment you on your methods of making stops. Very original. I'll have to copy that !! Again, Best, Scott

[@mrpete222]

I am glad you liked that part of the video.

[@mikefarnsworth7444]

Sometimes you have time but not money! Nothing like doing it yourself for the satisfaction of it. This a perfect little project Mr. Pete!

[@mrpete222]

👍

[@MrFixit1]

I love how a lathe can reproduce parts for itself.

[@johnb5519]

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.

[@mrpete222]

That is exactly what I do.

[@warrenlee3113]

Great video Mr Pete. Another great project for me to work on. This shows everyone that with a little time, you can make it yourself. Thanks

[@mrpete222]

👍👍

[@paulchurch6633]

Mr. Pete I would like to see a video of you making them, Love the channel, you really are my youtube shop teacher.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@clarkfamily9050]

Yeah, sure you can buy anything, but it's always better to know ya can fix anything. Great job Mr. Pete!

[@bradmaynard1559]

I appreciate the custom tools you make and the techniques to do the project!!

[@mrpete222]

Glad you like them!

[@Radiotexas]

Clever! The old dog always teaches the young(er) pups new tricks!

[@kevinneblock5214]

Very nice video Mr. Pete! Have a wonderful weekend!

[@theseldomseenkid6251]

The technique for staking was unknown to me. What a nice New Years gift. Thanks Mr. Pete.

[@davidsorkin]

I would never have thought of making these. Really ingenious!

[@dogdipstick]

cause you can buy em easy

[@steveforbes7718]

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!

[@angelramos-2005]

Really interesting how that little oiler fill his purpose.Thank you mrpete.

[@greasydot]

Awesome project Mr. Pete. Wish I would have had a shop teacher like you in High School.

[@dannys1532]

At least we have him now. I have learned so much over the years from Mr Pete. Thank you.

[@greasydot]

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.

[@fullmetalpenguin]

As has already been said, I never would have thought about making these. *Fantastic* video!

[@user-ce7bj4rk8r]

Really like this format. No nonsense. Let’s make some chips. Really like the dimensions displayed as well.

[@dannys1532]

Always enjoy these short diy.

[@andrewraugh1622]

I'm really glad you showed us this. This is great for making ones in sizes that may not be available "off the shelf."

[@andrewraugh1622]

This video included very helpful "tricks." It was amazing how fast you made it.

[@123232ism]

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.

[@franciscoflores7911]

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.

[@mrpete222]

👍👍👍

[@qzwqsy]

Always great to see you making chips.

[@JourneymanRandy]

This is my favorite kind of video. I wouldn't have thought of making these parts. Exellent class Mr Pete.🔩⚒️🔧

[@mrpete222]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@dennislamonica6908]

Really an incredible short. I never would have thought about making one. Thank you.

[@OLDBEAR123456]

Very good, Mr. Pete. Thanks for sharing you’re wealth of knowledge. Priceless.

[@4speed3pedals]

Very nice finished product and great tips.

[@andrewraugh1622]

This is great for those of us whom need some of these! Very helpful video!

[@GaryPArmstrong]

Good knowledge video. I bought some good ones on the net as I did not want to make them. I found them under a company named Grandado Aus ( Australia) and paid $9.50 Aus for 20. They are not called Gits Oilers ( Sorry to correct you, but not my intent) but Ball Oilers is the name they go under. They come from China at that price, but the quality and sizing were spot on and they work a treat. It was good for once, to win something off the net that actually was correct and of high quality. Order them now Mr Pete, bugger making them. LOL

[@mrpete222]

Just yesterday, I ordered 20 from the UK. The shipping cost more than the Oilers.

[@42phaedrus]

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.

[@mrpete222]

That’s a good idea!

[@jerrytalley337]

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.

[@Letsmakeitgreatagain.]

Nicely done, as always! Never too old to learn something new!

[@leeroyholloway4277]

I love this stuff. Nothing like the empowerment of saying, "heck, let's just make one"

[@mrpete222]

True

[@hogan6216]

How cool was that...Very cool...Thank you again...Always learn another trick from you...

[@MechanicMax]

Appreciate this Mr Pete. My lathe does not have tailstock oiling ports, for the ways..... but it will after seeing this. Thanks.

[@fixitmakeit]

the pleasure of making "free parts", 1 hour labour and a $10 000 machine. Worth every cent invested!

[@mrpete222]

Lol

[@gorak9000]

I missed it, which one is the $10k machine?

[@theseldomseenkid6251]

​@gorak9000 It's a paraphrased Mr. Pete joke, dealing with the price of the shop and materials vs. price of the part. Always good for a laugh.

[@CA_Rock]

Thanks Mr. Pete, this is the kind of useful machining video that I prefer. You identified a problem, explained how the part works, and then you clearly walked us through the machining process in a way that made it understandable. I'm embarrassed to say that I did not know the name of this type of oil port, and I did not know how to use it either. So I've been abusing my tools due to lack of knowledge. Now to find a proper oil can for Gits oil ports..... Unless Mr. Pete has a shop made solution for that too?

[@mrpete222]

👍👍

[@madeinusa5201]

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!

[@mrpete222]

😀😀

[@brucemecham3406]

Another good shop class.

[@bobv8900]

I learn something new with just about every video. Keep up the good work!

[@AdrianPardini]

It's been quite a while since one of your videos appeared on my home-page but I'm glad it did. Thanks for the time you take to make them.

[@mrpete222]

You will not always be notified. I put one or two new videos on every week. Simply search for tubalcain

[@Inventerius]

Thank you from the Netherlands Mr. Pete! I need one in a very strange size now I know how to make one.

[@voodoochild1954]

About $1 each for metric ones from Little Machine Shop. But I like that you can make them. I might have to try that. 👍🏻

[@mrpete222]

Thanks, I will look into it

[@aguycalledlucas]

That came out great

[@marionstorm9004]

Pretty slick , Mr. Pete! Really enjoyed the little job. I never would have guessed it would take so little time.

[@mrpete222]

Actually, I probably wasted three hours doing that

[@marionstorm9004]

@@mrpete222 , well then, I guess I should have complimented your editing skills too because you made it look quick!

[@jscott8695]

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 🤣

[@ponga782]

That's pretty good, Mr. Pete!

[@paulerickson1906]

Never would have thought about these necessary little items until you need one. Thank you and happy New Year.

[@edl5074]

Great mr pete !!! I have one on my jet 13 40 needs to be replaced great idea !! Thanks pete !!!!

[@Preso58]

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

[@howardosborne8647]

I bet they weren't $8.75 cents each from China.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks, Mark, I enjoy your videos also

[@orangetruckman]

Great video Mr. Pete!

[@keithschwartz7318]

Thanks for the video. It shows creativity as well as brainpower. Many younger people do not possess the ability to think a problem through. Have a good week and keep warm.

[@mrpete222]

👍👍

[@JimsShop-e3g]

You did a great job on that oiler. Have never been a big fan of the spring-loaded ball style. Just recently was working on bringing a horizontal mill back into service that had some of those in place to oil the table screws. These were quite large, and when I tried to apply oil all it did was make a mess. It didn't seem like any oil was getting in there. Ended up making a new tip for my oil can. Yes, those are available from Mcmaster as well, but didn't really know if one I ordered would work in my application, so decided to roll my own. New tip works much better than what I had, so will call that a success.

[@mrpete222]

Yes, they can be quite messy

[@lindsaybrown7357]

Excellent tutorial.

[@mkegadgets4380]

My favorite video is always you making chips. Look forward to your next video.

[@mgmcneeley]

Nicely done…. Are you going to shim up the tail stock to compensate for the wear? I wouldn’t mind seeing that done

[@Mlawrence3]

Great video! We need stuff to make anyway, why not something useful instead of candle holders?

[@willostiguy1213]

Great video as always, Mr Pete. Your project videos are my favorite videos to watch

[@geckoproductions4128]

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

A great evaluation of how things work by going through the process of making one.. Great video.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching.

[@rexmyers991]

I had no idea that you could make one of those oilers. Thanks, Teach

[@Duckfarmer27]

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.

[@jsteifel]

Nice video, this video has some excellent little gems on production work. Thank you.

Howdy Mr Pete, great work there sir, I'd look forward to a full length video, thanks for sharing

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

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.

[@mrpete222]

I now realize I can buy 20 of them for eight dollars on eBay, lol

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

@@mrpete222 Ha!

[@frankward709]

That look like a fun exercise. Haha Thanks for the video

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

[@leftturn99]

Awesome diy class with added piggy bank results.

[@sebastienlambert1976]

Nice little job .mr Pete. I will do the same for my sb16 3/16 oiler. * One note: You should have drill a biger hole for the ball to give a way for the oil to go. That's the reason the oil it dont want to go in easily. 🙂

[@mrpete222]

Good tip!
