Got given some Vaunt brand drill bits to try, they saved a lot of time as i didn't have to do any drilling to blunt them...

Check the bottle to see what its filled with, it should be propylene, and go with a known brand like Bernzomatic, Rothenberger or Worthington etc. Our local wholesaler was selling imported china mapp pro which wouldn't even light, even using another torch, dread to think what it was filled with...

Refrigeration compressors normally do pump a fair bit of oil in normal running, it doesn't matter normally as fridges and air con are sealed systems and the oil returns to the sump. I'd expect fridge type compressors to pump more oil out than a conventional air compressor, so would not be overly...

Give it a few oil changes before using it proper, makes a difference on the final few 1000 microns having fresh oil.

My experience is only in the dairy industry here, all the milk vessels are non magnetic food grade stainless, the outer skin on the vessels are generally made of the same grade but there are a few cheaper tanks which are magnetic.

Food grade stainless is non magnetic, cheaper stainless is magnetic.

I'd fix them even if it cost more, history should be worth something even if its just the history of a few holes dug.

Just ordered a Wright 3430, and to think until this morning I didn't even know they existed! :lol_hitti

Check out a Veto TP3 or TP4, or MB or MB2. I have a TP3 it holds just enough tools and adapters to connect gauges to hvac and refrigeration systems.

I wonder if the change of oil filter types fitted to vehicles is to blame, most new vehicle have the paper element type filter instead of the screw on canister type. I have a couple of them, one made by visegrip and the other by eclipse, mainly get used for holding paddles on milk cooler when...

What about a roll of tape? Used some the other day on a heat exchanger on a chiller.

As a kill or cure measure, could you epoxy the fitting in? Would need all the parts cleaning thoroughly before hand.

A tenth would be in inches as its a fraction and inches are 'old money' For mm i would probably say 'point one' mm or 'nought point one' if i needed to be clearer it was less than one.

Yeah thats what i thought, got an adjutant from a retired rolls royce guy on ebay.

I would say they are uncommon here in the UK, I can't remember seeing one being used on a construction site. I had always though of them as a diy tool until i saw them being used by my hvac friends on youtube in the states. Mainly i would use either hand saws, chop saw, circular saw or a...

I have swapped the motor end bells before to reverse the rotation, have to make sure the windings are central etc or it shouldn't be done. Might be useful to someone.

We used to get the local builders merchant to move milk cooling tanks with their Hiab Truck, made a nice change for the driver from delivering bricks etc!
