Mother of all oiler stations


Recommended Posts

Decided to make an oiling station rather than have my oilers floating around my desk.... Link here:

Here it is, the bits that went up to make it are detailed below.

Here is the information for the parts:

Sponge (generic like Bergeon - Amazon), cut into 1/3's:

Oil pots (4) from Ali Express - pots removed from original housing and friction fit inside my housing:

Automatic Oilers (AliExpress):

As a side note, for the pin type oilers (not auto-oilers), here is what I use them for, I'm not sure how I came about using them this way or if it is correct/best-practice, so I would be interested if anyone had any advice, so if anyone can let me know if I am using them the right way I would appreciate it.

  • Red (0.18mm Tip) = Dr Tillwich 3-5 (approx. same as Moebius HP1300/D5)
  • Blue (0.24mm Tip) = Dr Tillwich 1-3 (approx. same as Moebius 9010)
  • Green (0.32mm Tip) = Moebius 9415
  • Yellow (0.45mm Tip) = Dr Tillwich B52 (approx. same as Moebius 9504/Moly DX)

Thanks.

PS

For auto oilers I use the following

  • Red = Dr Tillwich 3-5 (approx. same as Moebius HP1300/D5)
  • Black = Dr Tillwich 1-3 (approx. same as Moebius 9010) - shock springs
  • Green = Dr Tillwich 1-3 (approx. same as Moebius 9010) - jewels

I use a fine-tipped oiler, approximately like your blue one, for almost everything. Occasionally I'll use a thicker one, where I want to apply a larger amount of lubricant, just to save time. I would certainly want to use my finest oiler to apply 9415 to pallet stones.

I use the same four products you do (plus a braking grease for automatic barrel walls, and a silicone grease for seals).
