This will like describing a piece of string,but where could i buy the following

Pliable plastic bottle with a small diameter tube that will place oil ( esp in Myford S7 oil cups) where i want it

Also to squirt cutting oil onto work i lathe or mill

In effect when you give it a squeeze, oil will be displaced up the tube, which extends about 6-8 inches out of the cap

Hopefully someone will recognise what i am looking for!

Thanks

Ron

I buy hand cleaner in Aldi [for bathroom use ],comes in a small pump action bottle,which might serve your purpose. Might need to extend the outlet,not a major job. I found them to be very useful,second time around.

To judge by recent news reports, you should be able to pick up a Fairy Liquid bottle on the local beach...

Try any model shop that specialises in Radio Controlled model aircraft. They do a selection of refuelling bottles which would be perfect for lathe oils.

.... or even Boots. They do hair colouring bottles that would also serve.

I have had great, nay, perfect results with the cheapo Chinese 250, 350 or 500 ml metal oil cans. Come with a solid steel tube and the better bendy one. Brass internals, 5 quid a pop. What's not to like?

I visit the local pound shop and pick up a pack of three plastic squeezable dispensers for [guess what? - a pound]. Screw-on lids with moulded spouts of the type seen in fish and chip shops and roadside burger bars. I use one for dispensing cutting oil on the lathe [handy road dribbling onto a parting operation] and one for work on the mill. T'other is spare - no expense spent in my workshop!
