Ok my question is placement of the hole and any pic's would be great?

Ignore the instructions, don't drill a hole in the bar, and instead drip onto the nose. Placement of the dripper is not crucial -- as long as oil puddles on the nose, it will eventually find its way to the chain.

I started out using the supplied fitting, and it would frequently plug up with sawdust. Plus, it was a pain to drill the holes in the bar. Plus, you have to move the fitting whenever you flip the bar.

If you insist on using the supplied fittings, you'll need to drill two holes, one on each side of the bar, so the bar can be flipped.

Thanks that will save some time there and not putting a hole in the bar! cant rep you but thats sweeet idea.

I agree with not drilling the hole in the bar. I wrap the hose around the upright post and tie the hose to the post with ear plug line. Something I did on the fly and I haven't changed it in 10yrs.

I really need to post pics again

I have my mill on the dinning room table looking at it for the last couple days trying to figure out how to drill this whole right and it came down to anything I do would not be the way I would like it to be. Glad thats over hate to drill a whole in a brand new ES bar.
