Air tool oil
I now have a number of air tools, all of which are fed air through a filter and oiler. Although I've set the oiler at its very minimum setting
(without actually stopping the drip feed) I'm still getting oil everywhere at the tool end (Oooer missus! ). I can cope with a little bit of
oil spray - it's unavoidable - but not so much that it's dripping everywhere!
What should I expect?
cheers,
David

Never actually used an oiler, just put a couple of drops into the air inlet before and after use. A quick blast gets rid of the excess.

I do the same..
I don't use an oiler because I don't want oil in my airline. I use the same one for everything these days.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Same here, oil is easy to get into an air system but nigh on impossible to get out.

I have two air outlets on my compressor - I use one for air-tool work (oily) and the other for spraying, tyre inflation, blowgun, etc. (dry), with
different hoses for each.
I think that I'll abandon the oiler - it also has a regulator between the filter and the oiler, and it doesn't seem to like working behind
the compressor's regulator... it keeps going over the target pressure (or it's a cr*p regulator!). I'll try and keep the filter,
though.
cheers,
David

I use a bit of 3 in 1 every time I remember, I have tools made in the '60's which are still as good as the day they were made
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation
