The problem is, to oil the grinder I put the oil in the end of the

So, I'm thinking that I'll put a ball check oiler in the tool-hose
adapter and be able to apply oil where it's needed. I have a nice old
Eagle pump oiler to use.

Anybody see why this might be a Bad Idea?

Thanks,

What about this type of oiler designed to fit between the airline and
tool https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/clar...in-line-oiler/ .
I suspect you can get them from the usual suspects in the states.

I have always squirted a couple drops in the end of the air tool as I
first used it, then every other day thereafter if they were constantly
in use. I've thought it a waste to use an oiler, and none of my FRLs
have ever seen oil. shrug
