Description

I designed an Aux bar and chain oiler for an Alaskan chainsaw mill. The body and cap are threaded to use 1/4 push connect RO line fittings for both the drain hole as well as the vent hole. I will likely draw up a simple debris filter that will fit into a push connect fitting for the top vent hole to keep the bar oil clean and from chips clogging the lines later. My mill was DIY made from 4040 aluminum extrusions and the oiler bracket and clamp bar are both set up to fit that geometry. I am including the fusion files so they can be modified as needed. I printed mine in ASA, though PLA would probably work with enough wall loops and any PA material would be ideal. The cap and retaining bar are both PLA. M5 heatset inserts were used in the retention bar, only because I ran out of T-nuts and didn't want to wait for more to arrive before putting it to use.   I didn't feel fine flow control was needed so I used a normal shut off valve on both the drain and vent holes and just guestimated by drip timing what correct flow was, though remembering to turn them both off was a bit of a pain once I was finished with a cut. Using two shut off valves in line would allow for one to bet set and forget for gross flow management and the other to be used to open and close the port.
