Atlas/Craftsman Lathe Oiling for Dummies

This is a problem on a lot of things. I oil my air tools that have a ball oiling point using a 3-in-one oil can and an old welding tip cleaner set. I use the tip cleaner to depress the ball, then give it a shot with the oil can. You can see the oil run in. This trick works on my lathe and my mills too. Always wipe the area around the ball clean before oiling.
