Ok, I need all you guys to look in your tool stealing black holes and see if you can find my oiler. I happen to find one at HF a few months ago with a flexible spout and the end fit and sealed perfectly with those ball bearing oil ports. I cleaned the chinese goo out of my rotary table today and after putting it back together the only thing left was/is to oil it. That can is nowhere to be found. So it musta slipped into that black hole. If any of you see it, kinda give it a tap to send it hopefully back in my direction. If I buy another one the odds aren't too good that it'll fit like this one did.

I've got the 24 ounce version. Enough power to shoot a stream of oil clear across the shop, so resistance from the ball oiler's is futile. Big Grin

McMaster has replacement spouts as well.

For the most part that's like mine except the flex line is that plastic/nylon/whatever hose with the braid in it. Haven't tried any distance shots with it yet.
