Drip Lube for lathe

[twhite]

I had a piece of 3-1/2” square acrylic that was laying around. So I decided to turn up a vessel to use as a Drip lube. I will use flex line and tube for the delivery.

Then this is after just a few minutes with some 600 wet and 1500 wet

I will work out how to hold it on my lathe this weekend.

That looks really good and should serve you well and it uses Gravity and a valve so not much to go wrong or break !!!

A terry cloth buffing wheel will make that thing crystal clear!

I might do that once everything is complete. I have a few small diameter Terry cloth wheels that might fit inside also.

I like it. It's like a drip oiler from a hit-n-miss, or a coolant cup from a carbide grinder... it should do the job nicely!

I have looking for a drip oiler at swap meets for this project. When I find one in the wild, I will replace this one.
