Don't worry, this is one of my favorite treads to follow, i just haven't commented on it before. Being from a non-English speaking country, sometimes makes it harder to express yourself the way you want to. While i am at it: Great work!

What size are you looking for? There is quite a big span in sizes

The reason i wanted that design on the oilers is that i have this Swiss made Wanner high pressure oil gun. It don't look like much, but it really can pump the oil to where it is needed. The manufacture claims it can deliver 150 bar of pressure, that's 2175 psi! I guess it depends on the weight...

Two old and two new oilers, if anyone needs it, i could make a quick sketch of them Now there are oil in the headstock, and it seems like it is staying there, at least i haven't seen any leaks by now, the oil has been in for a week! The motor is mounted and it spins! The headstock is a...

The sattle is off to be cleaned underneath The oil channels on the apron was filled with dirt, and no oil could ever find the way to where it should work There are seven oilers in the sattle, and i made nine, that means i am able to put it all together, once i get the oilers finished Holt

Very nice work, and so short you wont be overtightening the chuck Thm:

This is a bit dangerous, the edgefinder wont "swipe out" at the same time going "uphill" as "downhill" unless you go backwards on one of the sides (does this make any sense?)

"The entire assembling operation can be completed by a gang of four men in 7½ hours; such a gang of men assembles two complete lathes a day" 7½ + 7½ hours = very long working days Holt

There is a Yahoo group about this type of lathe http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/Multimachine-Concrete-Machine-Tools/ Holt

The first batch is finished, took me a couple of hours (only 2 are fitted with balls and springs at the moment) I made ten, but one didn't make it :'(

Paul, at first i didn't like your idea, but after thinking about it for a couple of days, i think i will give it a try, in that way i can make them to fit the countersunk holes, something i can't get if i buy some, no matter what type i buy, there will be places they don't fit. If i make them to...

The price on your lathe depends on supply and demand in your area, here a lathe like this, would likely be sold for 1500-2000 USD if in reasonable condition. Its a very desirable size, small enough to fit most workshops, and large enough to turn "real" stuff Holt

One major problem with RDG tools is shippingcosts, it seems only expensive fast shipping is possible, and it costs 1½ time the price of the oilers, maybe ill see if there is other items i need that can be send in the same parcel ;D

Nice looking student you got there, it looks like the Dominion type sattle, with the handwheel in the left side. Doesn't the student have feed on the cross slide? no metric treating? I would have preferred a lathe this size, because of the limited space in my workshop, but the triumph was what i...

Mainer, it seems you are right, the D1 oiler, as they are called seems only to be available in metric pressfit you can get them with imperial treads, but not imperial pressfit, i think i will have to settle with these From this store http://www.rdgtools.co.uk/acatalog/Button_Oilers.html The...

If anyone could tell me the correct name for this oil nipple, it would make my search much easyer, thanks Holt

I need to replace all the ball oilers on my lathe, i would like this model I need them with 1/4" pressfit mounting, my normal supplyer only sells metric, anybody knows of a place where i could buy them, preferably within the EU Holt

I guess there are a few who understand the PC joke ;D If its the same price as a X2, ill take two, no wonder you took that trip

I don't think this is a Dominion, because that version didn't have metric treating, this one have Holt

The spindle nose is American long taper size L1, i have a back plate on my 3 jaw, and a spare one Dennis - you postet while i was writing Holt
