The aluminum tip is no longer smooth and round - thus does not seal the oil-ball oilers..
343: I put some threads on the oil can spout ( focus never holds still)..

348: Lots of cast Iron swarf..
349: Another side job - putting in some threaded holes so this can sharpen chisels on the Dekel style D-bit grinder..
