Good people of wrt land, I am looking for some info if anyone can help.

I recently got a bergeon auto oiler 1A, (fine tip) second hand, which had no needle. I thought. No problem. Cousins can sort that.

Sadly however the old model tips and needle are no longer available.

I have not been greatly successful with support via message and am not convinced they understand what I'm asking and tell me the needle won't work with the old tip despite my explaining I want to replace both.

So...... Does anyone know if both the needle and tip for the newer model 1A oiler is interchangeable with the body, (which appears to be much the same), of the older model?

I'd like to buy the above and be able to slot it on but cannot pay out for them on the offchance as they're expensive.

Thanks.

No chance, this is crazy fine. I tried a beading needle (which I keep as an emergency unblocker for 0.2mm airbrush nozzles which it'll fit through and protrude by a couple of mm) but that's not close. The hole has to be 0.1 or smaller.

      All the best, family always comes first, and I believe you have made the right call that you mother deserves your full attention. However, when you need a little outside distraction the guys here will always be available for some banter or a heated discussion on lubrication 🤣.

      What wire

      By Waggy · Posted

      Wire for what? if it's steel then only certain types of steel can be hardened ie high carbon steels: "Mild steel doesn't harden very well. It doesn't have enough carbon. Get something like O1, silver steel or if you want to go full watchmaker, then Sandvik 20AP". Source

      I'm wondering if there's any specific type of wire I should get for hardening? I would assume it doesn't matter as long as the wire doesn't melt before it is at temp.

      Thanks Michael, sorry you were affected by this terrible condition. It can happen to anyone, 50's is the starting territory for it. My mum has been telling me for decades, " if i lose my marbles then shoot me",  my standard reply for that has always been " dont worry mum i bought the shotgun years ago ".  The same goes for me, not being able to communicate or comprehend is a very lonely place, now known to me as Aphasia. My mum had no warning of arriving there, I've had my warning and it was my mum that gave it to me.

      It's the hole in the mainplate that has become too big due to wear. I will try with some fine abrasive paper wrapped around a small file. I will start with 3000 grit and see what effect that has. Or I could try with a homemade burnisher. Anyway, I will post the result here soon.
