Hi Martin! Looks lovely whatever it is!

all the best

Apologies for digging this back up but I hope this will help others too.

after having the same issue, I decided to run off a load of leather washers.
the rubber o ring is completely useless once it gets the tiniest drop of oil near it, it just squeezes out of the side of the can.

I have used an excellent quality, veg tanned leather. The inner diameter is a perfect fit for the 200ml pump.
im interested to know if all reilang oil cans utilise the same pump, with just the can increasing in size. If this is the case, these leather washers will fit all models.

If anybody is interested, I’ll happily post them.
£3 per washer £1 postage.

I hope this helps!!

Thank you Neil
Yes! Maybe I should!
I probably need to start collecting loco whistles

Thank you so much for everyone that replied.
I had no idea that this was a common issue, it’s restored some confidence.
best wishes to all

Thanks Brian,

I am after a Myford ml10, mostly because of a recommendation from a friend.
id like imperial, mainly as I don’t tend to work in imperial a great deal so I’d like to learn.

i don’t have a massive amount of space or money for that matter, but that said, if it’s more expensive I’ll just save until I can get what I want, rather than buying something I won’t be happy with

Good evening!
thank you for your reply.
I’m still after a lathe for home, preferably an ml10.
the lathe in question on my other post is a Harrison that we have at work.
Ive not used it a great deal, but I’m trying to gain some extra knowledge so I can use it confidently and safely.
I am by no means a stranger to machinery, but I must admit it did make me jump when it jammed up!
made me think that I could do with some extra help!

I should probably add that perfection is generally a great part of my job. I’d like to think that I’d be capable of setting up such machinery, but i thought it best to ask for help from people who really know.

Thank you all for your quick replies!
I should have really said....

I'm using plenty of lubricant, not cutting too fast and not turning too quickly.

as someone said, I too have set up the tool by bringing it to the face of the chuck. I thought it was as good as I could get it.
I checked the vertical with a set square.
I will check to see if there is clearance ground on the parting tool.
I had it in the holder as far as possible too!

may well be worth making a second cut as mentioned in one of the replies, especially when using such a narrow tool

Having a bit of trouble with an eclipse parting off tool

it is very sharp, but I had it jam on me in a mild steel bar.

any help would be appreciated.

are the tipped parting tools better?

Hello to all!
My name is Darren I’m 30 years old and I am a cabinet maker and pipe organ builder.

I am looking for a lathe and a milling attachment. I’m going to try my best to learn how to use them.

I always have a project on the go and I’m sure these skills will help me no end.
I have always loved steam power. I think this is a good excuse to actually get into making something.

Any help and guidance really will be appreciated.
Thank you

Darren
