Vintage machines live or die depending on our care of their lubrication needs. Certain areas on the Heidelberg Windmill presses have lots small oil points - like the gripper head and the paper feed. It is all to easy to over oil and end up with drips oozing everywhere, not cool when you are trying to keep your paper clean. One of our best friends to assist in this task is the Precision Pen Oiler. It is perfect for getting a small amount of oil right where you need it. And at under ten bucks, a lube job never cost less.

hey! thanks for the tip. this should work for my c&p too, eh?
Indeed - they work especially well for presses with smaller oil need like Kelsey, C&P Pilots and also C&P floor models.
I have so many people to recommend this to now.
LOL

mine arrived 2 days ago from McMaster (same price, & I was already ordering sheet metal to test custom die-jackets for the vandercooks)…
This is now my gift to mechanics and gear-heads… awesome.
