PM30 One-Shot Oiler System

[rafprecision]

Hey guys,
I recently completed a "one-shot" oiler system install on my PM30 Bench Top Mill.
Decided to go with Bijur metering valves, junction blocks, 4mm nylon and brass tubing, and other misc 4mm (5/32") fittings.
However, I opted not to purchase the Bijur "one-shot" oiler, instead, I found a "similar" unit on Amazon for a lot less $$$$!

Here are some pics ...

Adding a "one-shot" oiler system to my PM1340GT's quick-change gear box, is in the "works" !!!
I plan to incorporate the Bijur components as well ...

That is DIY! Does it work as expected?

I did a one-shot oiling system on my CO 9x40 and it worked very well. I suspect the OP's will work just fine.

Very cool! I have been wanting to do this on my PM-932. What are the large holes in the back of the saddle and did you drill and slot the smaller holes for the lube system or were they already there?

It looks exemplary! Come to that, the machine, and it's surroundings look almost "clinical", as if chips have to make their way to the bin by themselves - or else!

I am thinking you would have had to to bleed all those, just like hydraulic lines.
Very nice build!

No you don't have to bleed the lines, because it's a open not closed system. You just pull the handle on the one-shot until oil starts coming out of the ways a go to it.

That looks great just what I want to do! 2 questions for you, do you oil your ballnut with your oiler and where do you purchase the manifold? Great job!

That looks great, I need to add that to my to-do list for my Grizzly G0755...

@rafprecision - Really nice work! Assuming all is good with this installation, how is the reliability of the Amazon hand pump? Has it held up to normal use?
