[Source] Need one...1/4" Gits oiler.

[DavidR8]

I can find metric ones all day long but not a 1/4" one.
McMaster won't ship to Canada, Acklands-Grainger doesn't have them or carry them.
Trying Motion Industries but I may have to buy 100

1/4-32 you mean? https://www.amazon.com/Gits-Threade...ords=gits+oiler+cup+1/4&qid=1583355664&sr=8-1

Amazon carries them, I grabbed a few from them when working on my lathe.

Actually the ball type that press in.

Ah! I saw Gits, which was generally famous for their cup oilers I think, so the name/oiler style are synonymous for me.

Sells everywhere.

I went through the same as you. In the end, I ordered from McMaster and had it delivered to my cousin in the states (the next day). He forwarded it to me by USPS.

BTW, you can check the dimensions here:

Style GB Ball Oiler

Where flush type oilers are desired, the Style GB with ball valve opening provides durable, easily assembled protection requiring minimum top clearance. The easily depressed ball valve (music wire spring) instantly closes when pressure is released. No. 520, 521 and 522 are constructed with steel

My application was a 1940's Atlas 618 lathe. Apparently sizes changed slightly somewhere along the 75 year timeline!
