DIY Cutting Oil Dispenser

[Norppu]

I make a cutting oil dispenser which uses common soda bottles as oil reservoir. The thread in the dispenser allows it to replace the cap of the soda bottle.

That is an outstanding idea! Can i copy that or do you have drawings for it?

I rarely have drawings of anything I make. This is, unfortunately, the case here as well.
However, the construction is rather simple.
Please, feel free to make a copy.

If you ever get the chance to get some sketch sizes i would be more then happy to throw you a couple paypal bucks. That is an ingenious plan.

Great idea!

What size are the threads on a soda bottle? TPI?

Norppu,

Very Nice. Way to recycle containers. I worry that the plastic bottles in my part of the world are too flimsy (hatara) to work for this but I'm putting this on my "to-do" list when I find the right bottle.

A always enjoy your builds. Your brain and mine work in a similar ways so the way you approach a problem is often how I do.

Just a notice of documenting my work.
I really rarely have any documents of my work in advance. I have sometimes had a plan but it proved to be really temporary. Seems like I cannot think on paper.
However, I try to have the videos detailed enough to at least to cast light over the idea and maybe some dimensions.

For the thread dimensions I recommend drinking one soda and then measuring the bottle. Sometimes those come with multi-start hreads. I would stay apart from those.
