Dalton B-4 on Display

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýAs to spindle oilier on a B-4 Lot 2 3 4
and?5
?
The oilier are a thin walled tube that
has?a rolled edge on the top and then they
are pressed into a drilled hole in the bearing cap.? The caps were a sheet
metal stamping by Dalton.? There is a small disc of metal inside the cap
that holds the little wire lope that is a little larger in diameter than the
rolled edge of the tub pressed into the bearing cap.? This keeps the cap
(most of the time) attached to the machine.
?
A standard Gits flip top oil cap can be substituted
for the Dalton oilier.? These are available from McMaster Carr or
MSC.? There are several different sizes and styles that will work on the
Dalton bearing caps.? You may wont to go so far as getting??a
drip or sight glass style oilier so you can keep a continues flow of oil going
to the bearings and when not in use you can flip the little lever and it stops
the oil flow.? You also have a sight glass so you can see just how much oil
is dripping down into the bearings.? These again are available off
eBay.? I got a set of Taiwanese copies and they work really good and look
good if you polish up the brass they are made from.? They will require you
to tap a 1/16 pipe thread into the bearing caps.
?
One other oilier Gits makes is one that has a wick
that feeds oil to the bearings.? There is a stand pipe on the inside of the
reservoir and then a felt wick takes oil down to the bearings.? These will
also require you to tap a thread in the bearing cap.
