Todays Project - What did you do today?

[EdK]

I bought a kit to convert the cross slide and compound to imperial screws to replace the metric screws. As long as I had the lathe apart I decided to add some GITs oilers.
The brass one on the cross slide has no flange on the top so I don't have to counterbore for it. It needs to be flush or slightly below the surface since the compound slide would hit it otherwise. The closest drill bit I had was .002" over the needed hole size and it went in rather hard scrapping the brass off as it went. I decided to wait to do the other one until I have the proper sized cutter. It will be here Monday.

I think I'll look at making some way wipers as long as I have the saddle off.
