Hey guys,

I am starting a lathe conversion project I've been meaning to tackle for a few years now and this go around with the mill available I would like to add an automatic oiler. I have seen the inexpensive options on eBay for the motorized as well as the air pressure operated types and was wondering if anyone here has experience with any then they might share. Black slate as of now, but would like to finish gathering parts ASAP.

Any input is appreciated!

Here are the items i have been considering:


Motorized oiler:

1 5L 220V Dual Digital Display Automatic Lubrication Pump Oiler Pump | eBay



Air oiler:

110V 1 5L Auto Lubrication Pump CNC Digital Timer LCD Automatic Oiler | eBay



One shot manual oiler:

Lubricating Manual Pump Hand Lubrication 0 5L CNC | eBay

Thanks all!

I use the manual 1 shot. The one I have pumps from both sides, I set Z up on one side with a quality check valve to keep it all from draining back down.

I went with the manual for now until I figure out what I want to do later, figured it will be easy to convert to an automatic oiler down the line if I set If up with that in mind.. we will see how it goes!
