Awesome! Very cool parts!!
My oiler does the same thing! Any more details on the pressure pot? How many psi are you running into it? I have a 5 gal bucket under mine. lol
Well the Pro has been running non stop for the last 6 months on a plethora of different parts/quantities. The only problem I've had (forever) is with the Oil pump leaking like a sieve. I had a catch tray to contain the mess, but more oil was being wasted than getting in the machine. I bought another hoping it would be better, but it was worse. So I had a short break and took some 6061 round and other leftover stock and made a pressure vessel oiler. I already had an extra solenoid air valve wired to the milll and all the fittings I needed on hand. Now just a flip of a switch for 10 seconds to oil everything, and no *&^$*! leaks. I've been taking some pics and vids off and on of various parts. Oil pump is the first part of the vid.

Don't have to be too bright to be me :)

No need to fabricate a pressure reservoir - Go to Home Depot, Ace Hardware, Lowe's or whatever, and buy a whole house water filter canister for about $30. That, and a few plumbing fittings, and you're in business.
Culligan Whole House Opaque Water Filter Housing (HF-150A) - Water Filters - Ace Hardware
This is what I've been using for years.

Thanks Ray!!!
What air pressure are you running at?

I run mine at about 60 PSI, but my entire oiling system is totally different from yours. I have removed ALL "factory" oil plumbing - pump, manifolds, check/flow-control valves, all lines - and replaced it with dedicated lines to each of the 13 oiling points, with a selector valve to direct pressurized oil to a single oiling point at a time. A micro-processor controls the valve and pressurized oil tank, to provide a measured amount of oil to each point on a configurable schedule.

Matt, what tool are you using to mill those nipples?

Here's a link to the radius cutter.

Word of caution. Measure the tool diameter before use. Mine was oversize by .01 on the diameter resulting in a scraped part.
Thanks Matt. Those cutters are new to me. I am going to have to pick on up and give it a try.
