That’s the machine it’s due Friday

So quick question I’ll need some oilers so far I have not found and ready made one with  2/4 40ME threads so I can make them ssvinhavevtap and die coming
Now what is he usual thread in grease cups or oil cups? I have not seen this noted anywhere if I can find it I’ll just make the threaded end 1/4 40 ME THEN  use the tap as threading tool and thread the new cap the same I can use it bothbinternal and external threads. I think the lathe will thread 56 TPI  with maximum gear change  other wise I’ll just use the closest I have. Haven’t done that small thread in a long time but it’s easy material to cut  I don’t want to make steel ones but I have some leaded steel that cuts like brass.  We might even have some gun bluing left in the back room .
