Best way to get oil into Gits Spring Loaded Ball Cups???
What is the best way to get oil into the Gits flush drive ball cups
that have the small spring loaded ball? I tried a needle oiler and more oil ran out than in. This is on a rotary table and I have no idea why they used this because the gears run in an oil bath and it takes more than a few drops of oil to fill it? Thanks for any help...-Steve |

Thanks for any help...-Steve Take a good pump oiler and file the diamter of the tip down so it fits the hole tightly. THen use a three cornered file to file a x shaped groove across the face of the tip. This pushed the ball back, and seals the hole, and the grooves make sure that the ball doesnt plug off the tip. Works like a charm. Gunner |

Hey gunner, I was goiing to say that! I would have had the guy put the tip
of the oiler in a lathe and turn and polish the tip round tho and then cut a pair of grooves in with a fine saw. Same basic end results tho. -- Why do penguins walk so far to get to their nesting grounds? |

Jeez Guys,
Just go out an buy an oiler made to do it.. I have a couple of old (well not THAT old ) pump oilers, one is USA brand the other is a classic old "Golden Rod"... both of them CAME from the factory with a cone shaped nozzle on them and the USA has the groove... BTW I've never had any problems with either pumping oil passed the ball. --.- Dave |
