I am not sure Andy, from where its at on the Y nut, the word convenient 
is even in the same book. :(

In fact, a trip to my local small engine shop for a few yards of weed 
eater fuel line might be in order.  I put a couple pieces of that, from 
an oil manifold on the post, so I can run some vactra into those 
miniscule nuts in the toy mill.  That seems to be working fairly well as 
it was leaking out past the felt wipers for both when I last had it 
apart.

The x screw on the lathe had one of these zerks in it, and a 1/4 pump 
about monthly seems to be keeping the screw rust-proofed.

Cheers, Gene Heskett

Perhaps fit a small-bore copper pipe in the hole and place the fitting 
somewhere convenient.

incomplete copy/paste.

But it only showed me 4 fittings, 3 in zerk, one in some sort of a 
pressure vent cap.

Tried to fine tune it, but was not able to get it to show me the nipple 
connector used on a grease gun.  So I guess I'll just "make room" for 
the guns I have.  And hope that isn't removing something else needed for 
the nuts  clamping.  Its a bit "primative" IMO, cap screws used a 
clamping setscrews.  Y version is not terrible accessible either.

But today, if the rains hold off (whats left of Bill is drifting thru), I 
want to make another try at getting a piece of cat5 to the machine.  
The %$#@&%$ wall is full of nails and I'm demolishing a 3/4" ship auger 
everytime I try to drill a thru hole that I can stick a 16' piece of 
1/2" copper thru, and get it close enough at the other side of the music 
room that I can fish it the last foot into the basement.  And the whole 
area is full of cocoon insulation.  Fun its not.  One hole actually goes 
thru the first two barriers, and 3 others ran into nails when I moved 
about 24" in the direction what would make it a straight thru shot, so 
today I sharpen the bit again, and see if I can move the inside hole, 
about 8" in, an inch or two to the right to aim the copper pipe at a 
better angle.  I only have a 1/2 block tall, block & a half wide target 
to aim at.  I'll need to cover the other 3 attempts to discourage rodent 
access.

Maybe I'll get that 5i25 from PCW today.  Maybe.

A search of their online catalog last night didn't show but two types, 
the std 3 or 4 jaw snapon's that are about 9/16" in diameter or the 
needle thingy for u-joints.  And only 1 size for the zerk ball. I have 2 
sizes of those in the toolbox, the metric version seems to only be 
about .210" in diameter IIRC.

I will, that doesn't look like a link I saw last night.  Thanks.

If in the USA, check W.W.Grainger at Grainger.com - not cheap but they have
'stuff'.
If you can't find it in the online catalog, call the nearest store and they
can help find it.

If you work for a big company, have a business card and they might be able
to get you the 'big company' discount, if the company does enough business
with them to get volume discounts (without reporting it to the company if
that is an issue).

I thought of that, but when I hit napa looking for a box of those in 
metric thread, came up dry.  I think its probably a good idea, so the 
next time I'm in one of the other car parts stores here, I'll check 
again.

Maybe switch to needle style grease fittings?

[Emc-users] Question on grease fitting, required clearance around for gun access?

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings;

In the process of doing some trial assemblies of the motor to screw 
adaptors, I noted that there was only perhaps a fraction of an mm of 
clearance at best on 2 sides of the zerk style fitting installed in the 
Y nut, so I backed that adaptor off the nut and made some more 
clearance, but I don't think I have enough yet.  Is there a cad drawing 
I can look at that shows how much is required in order to access it with 
a std, genuine Chinese imported for Merican usage, grease gun?  The type 
with the mini-cartridge that I keep 2 or so preloaded with either auto 
style, or lubriplate BB grades of grease.  For that push on, bend off 
connection, it will need nearly 1/8" of clearance all around the nipple.  
Or am I behind the state of the art, and there is now a miniature 
version of that which I could retrofit my hand pumped small guns with?
 
Thanks.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
