Thank you. I was thinking about tossing the tip on the lathe and extending the cone to the tip and giving that a shot. I've just never owned anything with these type of ball oilers on it before. I'm starting to really like these old tools. So glad I didn't end up getting a new import unit.
I should clarify a little. All the "correct" oiling tips I've seen just came to a point, BUT they had small slots cut in the tip 180 degrees apart, to allow oil to flow out or the tip and onto the ball. Does that make sense?
