Hello, all,
My Dalton Six has oil locations covered by a circle or grommet of metal with a rather large ball, spring loaded, in the center to cap the hole. ?These caps are bigger than the modern versions, which look like tiny ball bearings and can be serviced with a standard pumper oil can with the small pointed spout on the end. ?These spouts are too small for the larger caps on the Dalton, with the result that when I try to oil the machine, half the oil squirts all over the outside, with only a small amount (if that) actually getting inside where it belongs.
Does anybody have a picture of the proper oilcan spout for a Dalton system? ?Or better, a brand of oil can or aftermarket spout ?that actually fits properly? ?I've tried to make a spout on the lathe, with indifferent success. ?It still leaks.
