so the end of the plastic pipe butts against the side of the bar, and the chain almost pulls it out? Do you find this is as effective as drilling a hole in the bar etc.? Does it use more oil for a given amount of lubrication?This is pic one of my previous setups but the concept is the same.

I am looking for an easy-to-build oiler for my CSM. Does anybody have some ideas or pictures they can share?
I set the flow rate to somewhere in between 1 and 2 drips a second if that gives you an idea.
To quantify this a bit more,
A drip is about 0.05 mL, so 2 drips per second = 2 x .05 x 0 is ~6 mL/minute.
This of course has to be added to the fact that the regular oiler on ,
An 880 delivers between 14 and 36 mL/minute
A 660 delivers 10-21 mL/minute
What settings do you use Aggie?
On the BIL Mill I set the the 076 delivers to deliver its max flow of 19 mL/minute and I set my aux oiler to delivers around 20 mL/min on bigger logs and 10 mL/Min on smaller stuff.
Cheers

Do you use straight bar and chain lube or do you dilute?
Yep - agree 100%. In some Aussie hardwoods if you don't use enough oil the resin will clog the chain and slow milling to a crawl.an extra $5 of oil is small compared to the $100 of chain as far as im concerned! and it cuts better
I have an old pressure tank from an ancient Coleman white gas camp stove that I've been eyeing up for making an oiler. It's a perfect tank size, but I don't know how well the pressure system would force oil out or how long it would keep enough pressure to be effective. It's one of those ones where you pull a knob out of the side of the tank and then pump it up.. It would be nice to have some pressure to the oil and be able to meter it with a small valve though, and the hose could be much smaller than if one was relying on gravity. . . . . . .
