Oil points

What do you call the little brass oling points in lathes etc with a ball bearing in them and where do you get them?

If they are shaped to clip into an oil pump nozzle they are called nipples, and can be bought. I don't know the name of the others which are not so shaped and are almost flush with the surface they are set in, though I have made a few for my Myford ML7.

I bought the oilers you describe from him at the ME exhibition in November. He has a wide selection of hard to find bits and bobs.
No connection apart from being a satisfied customer who would like to see a useful business stay in business.

The trouble is that his web pages are empty and I can not find any of his stock.

Then you click on the oilers and get nothing but a page which shows no oilers . There is a search facility that asks for part nos but that is no use.
