Jigs like the ones described are great for transfering measurements, but they
are not for determining a particular measurement. For instance, if you need a
board that is 27-1/4" long for a project, you need a device that is marked with
ruled markings to measure the board to be cut. The

I'd squirt oil right into the hole where you hook the air hose.Then I'd
run it a few seconds in a bucket or you'll have oil spraying all over the
place in a circular pattern.

How about getting the right size of drill bit, and making sure it is a
really long shafted model.
You can take off the work end and file it proper.

Many of them have a plug on the body of the tool that you remove and fill with
oil. If yours does not have this, just add a couple of drops in the air hose
connection each time you get it out to use it. Don't over oil it or you will
always have a mess on your hands.

The short answer is sand paper over a block.
The correct answer is that it depends on what you are needing to do.

In most general purpose shops, it is not adviseable to have a system wide
in-line oiler installed. It will coat the entire system with oil and there
will be oil coming out at times when you don't want it. Use these on circuits
that only use tools such as impact drivers, drills, rachets, etc.
It doesn't effect them at all provided you use the oiler at the distant end
of the air hose, you disconnect it with the tool.
