Well finally put the drill bit sharpener on the Sharp All, should have done it years ago and saved a ton on drill bits.
Stop in for a cup of coffee

R14? That must be rare.
Didn't know you could mix. Was it completely empty? I was going to at least change the dryer. Pretty sure its empty now, so no issue opening it and a buddy has a vac.

I've gotten pretty good at hand sharpening on a bench grinder. At least down to about 3/16.

hey there BD - how ya doing?
The only difference really is the compressor pressures, 14 is super hard to get, I have a hvac license for ac and Cannot even buy it, r22 you can get with a esco license and 134a any one can get, I just put the fill nipple on for 134 and it was working good, not super cold but around 43 or so.
I used to be able to hand sharpen but the eye's are starting to suck. 3/16 is about what this does and up to 3/4. I usually just but a 10 pack of 1/8 doubles at HF and throw them out after a few uses on each side.
Morning Dummy!

Ok, I was being a smart azz. There is an R14, but I assummmmme you meant R12. And yes it is hard to find and expensive.
I am sure you can buy Freon right? Sometimes I see it a garage sales and buy it up, found a 30lb bottle half full for 20 a few years ago and then sold it for 200! We used to use the hell out of r22 on the ec-130's to keep the back end cold for the electronics, it took 45 lbs to fill it!

hi California Tim
Hey Mike 1 whats going on?
And lovi'n it! Pulled Cam yesterday, mic'ed lobes. all were the same, no noticeable difference. HMM.. Checked valves, the one was lower quite a bit. WTH! Well heads going off, going back to the shop that just did head work. Frustrating, 2 steps forward one back. :coffee2:By quite a bit I mean my thickest gauge still had tons of room, probably had a 32nd of an inch. I might have caught a valve seat before it fell in to engine, looks to have moved. What else could it be?
Get the lifter out Tim?

I am not licenced to buy it, if thats what you mean. I have not done much with freon since before it became a public enemy. Our systems at cold storage were ammonia. One site had some rooftop units that ran 507 and they took care of the ice vending boxes, but I didnt work there since '93, Our only freon was in office units and we just called someone in on the few occasions they needed charged.
I have the licence if needed let me know, I would just try the 134 though way cheaper.
