The Myford ML4 has really simple oilers for the mandrel bearings. They are a small cup that is a friction fit in a hole in the headstock above the bearing. They have a simple spring loaded cap and a capacity of just a few ml of oil. Couldn't be much simpler but I can't find a supplier for them. Any ideas wher I can get them please?

Some here **LINK** don't know what size you need.

Google "small cup oilers".

Not sure if they do the type you want but Adams Lube seem to be a good UK source of oilers in general.

Thank you Brian and V8Eng, exactly what I wanted. Wish I had known they were properly called 'cup oilers' it would have made my Google search more fruitful. Oh well, you live and learn 😊

They are also known as a Gits oiler, after the company that makes them.

I got a load of oilers from ‘the nipple shop’ (honest - no joke). They may do something better than the basic type as well as the standard spring top cup.
