Hi, I am not able to understand the sizing chart. The thread OD is 6.6mm. What will be the close enough size?McMaster Carr has lots of Gits oilers.
I understand what you are saying. That’s the reason why I am stuck. I was able to take measurements using a caliper and got the readings in mm. Also the reason why I am not able the follow the sizing chart..Seems to be an odd size; we don't work in mm here, as stated above, we need mor info on thread pitch,
I would think it’s imperial as this is an out and out American lathe.. sorry for giving measurements in mm. That’s what I learnt in school and not able to quite understand the imperial system..what makes you think it's not imperial that's close to 1/4"
Many old english lathes were imperial.. and your 6.63 falls around the .25" .261" it is 10 thou over, but it might be tapered so it doesn't leak.. I don't know.. if it's .25 at the bottom and .261 at the top then it probably is slightly tapered.I would think it’s imperial as this is an out and out American lathe.. sorry for giving measurements in mm.
