Grease cup to suit vintage band saw
I am in the process of restoring my Crescent style 32" band saw and there seems to be two grease cups missing.
open to suggestions where one might find these, if anyone has some in their shed I'm sure we could do a deal

They are “Stauffer” grease cups; depending on where the saw was made they will be either 1/4” BSP (Europe & Aus) or 1/4” NPT (US) threads.
Nothing succeeds like a budgie without a beak.

I need to get some too. If you take a look at eBay there is a heap of random grease cups on there - some new, some salvaged from other machines. It's probably going to be hit and miss getting the right size thou.

Being a Crescent, the saw was made in USA, but like my Canadian Preston it's been in this English influenced part of the world for so long it could have American or English threads by now.
My 30" saw has Kingfisher (Leeds, UK) No.4 grease cups (so English thread).

They're 1 3/4" (~44mm) dia. over the cap - to give you an idea of scale.
HTH.
