You can put an oiler at the tool itself:

Just remember to fill it every 3 months or so.

I'd just use what you have.


Hm, thanks. I am a little confused, I have an HF sander and its manual
says to use an oiler. It does not seem to have an oiling port of any
sort. I guess that I will look harder.

No, this isn't "just suited for painting". Real painting takes a serious
air dryer, one which refrigerates the air. What you have is just for regular
use. - GWE

My compressor has this piece:

It was included in the sale. Please forgive my extreme ignorance in
asking this question, but I am not sure what it does. It seems to be a
pressure regulator and perhaps air cleaner. Has an opening in the
bottom for a drain valve (I put in a ball valve there). Looks like it
is most suited for spray painting, which I won't do a lot of.

What appears to me, is that this piece seems to be better suited for
painting, and what I need is a filter/oiler/pressure regulator. Is
that right?

If so, which one would you recommend? I would like to buy something
nice.
