Morning, I have just inherited my dad’s FOBCO 1/2 capacity bench drill,

before he died one of the thousands of things I wanted to ask him was where he stored the grease nipples for the drill. I’m still sorting his workshop out (he wasn’t one for tidying up ever).

I am struggling to find out what size grease nipple fits this drill? And anyone help please

Just checked. They are 1/4″ BSF thread, and fit a 3BA spanner. Now my mug of tea has gone cold. I can’t help you with finding your dad’s supply. What’s wrong with the ones in the photos?

Are the grease nipples missing from your drill then? Or do you want to know what grease gun end fits the grease nipples fitted to the drill?

If your grease nipples are missing then the ones fitted to the drill originally are very short, in order to fit in the recess in the quill and I have never found a compatible new item. I can’t remember the thread size and I am unable to check as I am not home

Is that a grease nipple or an oil nipple?

Like Bernard I think from the picture it is an oil nipple ? Noel.
