[00:28:23] <West0n> Anyone know much about 3d printing through powder sintering?
[00:28:39] <West0n> Thinking of making a machine to print metal parts
[00:28:45] <jdhNC> doesn't that really need pressure?
[00:28:50] <jdhNC> like MIM?
[00:29:21] <West0n> Nope
[00:29:25] <West0n> Not for 3d printing
[00:29:51] <West0n> It selectively sinters the metal powder with a laser
[00:29:59] <jdhNC> I meant for strength... would you print over-size?
[00:30:23] <West0n> Over-size?
[00:30:58] <robin_sz> i think hes thinking of conventional pressure sintering
[00:31:07] <robin_sz> where you press and then oven
[00:31:12] <West0n> Ah
[00:31:21] <robin_sz> that you do oversze
[00:31:25] <West0n> Often a post treatment is required for parts
[00:31:30] <robin_sz> alway
[00:31:44] <West0n> Anyone have sugustions for the powder size?
[00:31:56] <West0n> Mesh size?
[00:32:00] <robin_sz> West0n, yes, >< this big
[00:32:05] <West0n> Or materials to start from?
[00:32:11] <West0n> I was thinking of nickel
[00:32:13] <jdhNC> I was thinking smaller
[00:32:23] <West0n> What mesh size?
[00:32:27] <robin_sz> I would search the 3d sinterers for their materials catalogues :)
[00:32:38] <robin_sz> you thinking CO2 or YAG?
[00:32:54] <West0n> I have a 40 watt co2 in the garage
[00:32:59] <West0n> Thought I would try it out
[00:33:01] <robin_sz> k
[00:33:14] <robin_sz> I would try fibre coupled hag, but whatever
[00:33:17] <robin_sz> *yag
[00:33:24] <robin_sz> fibre coupled hag never works
[00:33:31] <West0n> They commercialy print titanium, Al, and steel
[00:33:42] <West0n> Titanium will be a bitch
[00:33:45] <West0n> Its flamible
[00:33:53] <West0n> And reguires very good sheilding
[00:33:56] <robin_sz> will need argonm then
[00:33:58] <West0n> And is $$$$
[00:34:11] <robin_sz> steel and ally sound good
[00:34:13] <West0n> Yah. But you need almost perfect o2 free enviroment
[00:34:18] <robin_sz> I expect ally needs argon

[01:05:34] <West0n> Any advice on the min/max particle size?
[01:05:49] <West0n> Small particles will dust up the optics
[01:06:12] <West0n> Large ones.... I don't know
[01:06:24] <West0n> At a point it will limit the resolution
[01:06:48] <West0n> And if I say... used 1" al blocks
[01:06:54] <West0n> Would not melt completely

[06:29:14] <mazafaka> I have never choosed the feedrate for any existing CNC machine. I worked only manually, on mill and lathe. I myself think I don't need to constantly hit the level of maximal acceleration and velocity.
[06:31:13] <psha[work]> mazafaka: maximum acc/vel is what you may achieve without load
[06:31:21] <psha[work]> without loosing steps/small ferror
[06:31:41] <psha[work]> feedrate under load is much smaller then max vel/acc
[06:32:29] -!-
aitalmac has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
[06:32:40] <mazafaka> yeah.
[06:32:44] <KimK> Usually a person would get the maximum speed from the various data sheets and minimum anticipated line voltage, and set the maximum speed so you can't overdrive it. With steppers though, you may have to give up a little bit more speed/accel to get reliability (no missed steps).

[06:35:16] <mazafaka> Because it's not cool to be granny in the shop :)
[06:37:15] <mazafaka> OK, I'm just joking. I will be just careful for the machine's state, and I always will think myself and I always can ask you.
[06:38:10] <KimK> If you're happy with the speed, great. If it's a stepper, you might want to try the torture test (tort.ngc) and use some kind of measuring device (turns counter? witness mark and degree wheel? dial indicator?) to see if it always returns to exactly the same place as it started.
[06:39:24] <mazafaka> And if it's a stepper, it will do the same even under the load, right?
[06:40:56] <KimK> Well, steppers generally perform better when slow feeding, even if there's a load (as long as you're not trying to cut too much at once, run some calculations). Usually with steppers, it's no-load rapiding that is the problem.

mhaberler [mhaberler!~mhaberler@62-47-132-167.adsl.highway.telekom.at] has joined #emc
[06:42:35] <mazafaka> With no load, stepper may make wrong amount of steps, right?
[06:44:06] <mazafaka> Thanks a lot for info. When there was some lessons on the electricity in the university, I had to miss and work for money... :( Do you know this all from some sort of courses, or just from reading?
[06:44:13] <KimK> It's not so much the lack of load, but the high speed. Steppers generally put out less and less torque as the RPM goes higher and higher. Eventually they stop completely.
[06:44:36] <mazafaka> OK

[06:47:24] <KimK> Good luck with your machine, when you get to it.
[06:47:50] <mazafaka> I also turned to work with machines at the moment. I recently worked on some small power plant which suffered from lack of money. Walls of steam boilers had holes, there were no bricks and metal sheets, dust, CO...
[06:48:50] <KimK> Yes, everyone wants to make something out of nothing, we have that problem too.
[06:49:18] <mazafaka> We maintained telphers and cranes. Now, at this job, my diploma of mechanical engineer is more needed.
[06:49:53] <KimK> Excellent, mechanical engineering is a good thing.
[06:50:41] <mazafaka> I even had got additional hairs in my nose at that time, now I am pretty as I used to be. I feel good, ah ah-hah-hah... I feel good..
[06:51:57] <mazafaka> yeah, good. But Ia am lacking knowledge of electrical machines. I missed some lessons.
[06:52:27] <KimK> Well, this is a good place to ask. Are you anywhere near psha?
[06:53:27] <mazafaka> I am preparing some serioes of videos on MTB and BMX for local ftp server. I want to proclaim some affordable sports. There are many people around who just drink beer and look at American lifestayle and beauty cars on TV.
[06:54:22] <mazafaka> Total Commander consumes 100% of CPU when I upload or download by ftp. I used to work with Linux, not with Windows.
[06:57:30] <KimK> And you're using Windows today? Sorry, I don't know Total Commander. Maybe you can try FileZilla, they have it for Windows and Linux, maybe Mac too? As for me, I use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS for everything because of EMC2, I use what they use.
[06:57:32] <mazafaka> Can not go to my new job today, I am officially at another city right now, where some offcicial documents are being made (that's cheating for life) - and I can not be at two places simultaneously.
[06:58:19] <KimK> FileZilla is a free/open FTP client.
[06:58:59] <mazafaka> I am using Windows at the moment. And I used EMC in Ubuntu 8.04 and 9.04, I think EMC2 is powerful and of the good old-fashioned sort, solid :)
[07:00:54] <mazafaka> Other Ubuntu versions (newer ones) do not work properly on this laptop. I need to disassemble this laptop and clean its pins. It was subjected to the dust. Now its DVD-RW is defined as DVD-ROM, and there are also other mistakes. I will later disassemble it and clean, but now I need it working.
[07:00:55] <KimK> If you have an empty flash drive to play with, you might visit
http://portableapps.com/
[07:02:22] <mazafaka> yeah, you bet! I can install ubuntu to my 8 GB Kingston USB flash drive. But at the mometn, I'm using EMC's wiki pages a bit, and plan to work with SprutCAM in the evening.
[07:02:49] <psha[work]> mazafaka: 4gb with gnome is enought
[07:04:39] <KimK> Yes, many people have complained about all the recent changes to Ubuntu. I see that
http://distrowatch.com has Mint has climbed to #2, just behind Ubuntu, and looks poised to take over number one, we'll see.
http://linuxmint.com/
[07:04:54] <mazafaka> yeah. I just like standart machines, do not want to care of the prudence of data, be it USB flash drive or something. External hdd (IDE, SATA, and something third else) is the storage for all data I have.
[07:06:34] <KimK> Sounds like me, "I just want it to work". That's another reason I stick with the LTS version. So I hope Ubuntu has everything fixed again by the time 12.04 LTS comes around.
[07:06:56] <mazafaka> That's just something bad planned to Ubuntu side. Ubutu 8.04 is very, very nice. It only lacks implemented installation from USB.
[07:09:28] <KimK> I might end up doing something like that too. 10.04 LTS is working great for me, so if 12.04 LTS is looking questionable, I guess plan B would be to wait and see if 14.04 LTS is any better? That's too far ahead to worry about right now though.
[07:10:08] <mazafaka> I think my laptop of 2008 year is broken a bit. New version of Ubuntu shall work on it just fine. Need to clean it from dust.
[07:11:54] <mazafaka> We only now have cable Internet access. Recently, weird small distributions of Linux were scaring me because of my mobile Internet access. Hooking up the phone to computer... Oh...
[07:12:55] <mazafaka> I sometimes do not reboot my laptop for 2 weeks (It's Windows XP, free Avast antivirus, BitTorrent works just constantly).
[07:13:13] <psha[work]> KimK: take a look at debian
[07:13:18] <KimK> I'm a little less afraid of 11.04 and Unity now that I know 11.04 has a "Classic Gnome" option available, although I don't exactly know how to activate it. "sudo apt-get install classic-gnome" maybe? I hope it's that easy.
[07:13:43] <mazafaka> I cleaned walls from old dirty lime, and this dust is still inside of my laptop...
[07:14:25] <psha[work]> as a grandparent of all ubuntu,mint and lot of other distros it is stable and conservative
[07:15:06] <KimK> psha[work]: Thanks, I already have Debian 6 installed in Vbox to get acquainted with it. To me it's not too different-looking from Ubuntu, maybe a little plainer. That's OK.
[07:15:29] <KimK> I see they've brought out a 6.02 update.
[07:15:38] <mazafaka> Oh, I will have tried this portableapps dot com
[07:15:41] <psha[work]> yes, it lacks some of ubuntu eye candiness but it's base system is nearly equal to ubuntu
[07:16:04] <psha[work]> incorrect, ubuntu base is nearly equal to debian :)
[07:16:30] <psha[work]> however debian is great not only as 'stable' distro but also as 'rolling release'
[07:16:34] <psha[work]> debian/testing
[07:16:50] <psha[work]> debian 6.0 is debian/stable - frozen set like ubuntu 10.04, ...
[07:16:59] <KimK> Haha, toe-MAY-toe, toe-MAH-toe, lol
[07:18:02] <mazafaka> I'll go cycle to the garden, need to hose it.
[07:19:15] <KimK> Yes, if we changed to Debian, that would be OK. Maybe Mint has more "other stuff", mp3, DVD, etc., which is good for living with a main desktop for 2 years, but I can see why some would say, "Why would I want that on my CNC machine?" So you can't please everybody.

[07:59:44] <nicko> it makes some ugly noises with boring heads on it
[08:01:45] <nicko> Does the alloy help cool the spindle a heap ? I guess hard to prove without a time consuming test, but its obvious it should
[08:03:38] <Valen> which alloy?
[08:03:44] <Valen> the mounting blocks?
[08:03:54] <Valen> the spindle is water cooled
[08:04:09] <Valen> you can see the radiator in the bacround
[08:04:25] <Valen> also the fan for the radiator blows on the Z axis motor, keeps it cool
[08:04:46] <nicko> the mount yeh
[08:05:07] <Valen> nfi, it doesn't even get warm with the water cooling
[08:05:23] <nicko> if the heat from the spindle made its way to the spindle body the alloy would wick away a fair amount of heat
[08:05:42] <nicko> 'cool'
[08:05:44] <nicko> ;)

[08:28:01] <aitalmac> need help
[08:36:57] <KimK> There are probably many ways to do this. One way that occurs to me is to use M100-M199 instead of M6? Maybe M101 is get tool #1, M102 is get tool #2, etc. Then M100 could be put the current tool back? It's just an idea. Maybe someone else will have a better idea?
[08:37:55] <KimK> Wait, maybe subrs would be better.

[08:39:55] <aitalmac> will it work with gcode?
[08:40:40] <KimK> Sure. Then have o<save_tool_01>, o<save_tool_02>, etc.
[08:40:58] <aitalmac> can i put on and off some output during tool change? like open cover of the tool change, lock index of spindle, open/close spindle clamp
[08:40:58] <KimK> Would that work for you?

[08:46:19] <KimK> Write it in individual files. get_tool_01.ngc, save_tool_01.ngc, get_tool_02.ngc, save_tool_02.ngc, etc. In your ini file, you can create a separate subroutine directory under the nc_files directory. Put all your tool change files there, then they won't bother you, you won't have to look at them when you're working with regular gcode files.
[08:46:53] <aitalmac> ok and how do i recall them?
[08:47:29] <aitalmac> and how do i make m62 to open the input i want, i have to write it in the custom hal file?
[08:48:42] <KimK> In your part program, if you want tool 7, say "o<get_tool_07.ngc>" on one line by itself. When you're done with tool 7, say "o<save_tool_07.ngc>" on one line by itself to put it back.
[08:49:45] <psha[work]> KimK: o<get_tool_07>
[08:49:47] <psha[work]> without .ngc
[08:50:02] <aitalmac> Oh
[08:50:04] <aitalmac> I think i get it
[08:50:44] <aitalmac> But then i cannot use the standard t2m6 code right?
[08:51:07] <KimK> psha[work]: Thanks!
[08:51:43] <aitalmac> i would have to write in my CAM postprocessor that for change tool the commands are 0<get_tool_07> eccc
[08:52:21] <KimK> aitalmac: psha[work] is right, I made a mistake there, sorry to confuse you. The files are named foo.ngc, but when you call them, just say foo. It knows they're .ngc.

[09:00:28] <KimK> OK, the M62-M65 codes control motion.digital-out-00 through motion.digital-out-03. So you could have 4 different tool covers, 2 left and 2 right, maybe?
[09:00:37] <psha[work]> but M64 is also suitable - there is no need to set exactly when you want
[09:01:13] <KimK> Yes, that's what I thought, but M64 could work too, with a pause or something, no big deal.
[09:02:20] <aitalmac> So i should write T2M64 and the machine will process the NGC code to go get the tool?
[09:02:33] <aitalmac> tool 2???
[09:04:08] <KimK> Anyway, if you had "cover 0" through "cover 3" (I won't call them 1-4 here, you can if you want) to open "cover 3" you might say "M62 P3". To close "cover 3" you would say "M63 P3".

[09:07:50] <aitalmac> the spindle to take the tool come from up

[09:07:58] <aitalmac> to clamp it
[09:08:17] <KimK> A stud that is at the top of the taper?
[09:09:15] <KimK> Oh, maybe it's not a taper, maybe it's a straight-shank, like the Tormach?
[09:15:22] <KimK> aitalmac: This machine is a little fancier than yours, maybe, but is this the general idea?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaR2UQKvr4M
[09:27:51] <KimK> aitalmac: You would also have to include fixturing in your subrs. You would probably use #9/G59.3 for your "machine", the tool racks, touching off tools, etc. Then use #1/G54 - #8/G59.2 for all your part fixturing. When you need a tool change, the G54 (say) would be cut off, and you'd use G59.3 to find the tool rack. Then back to G54 to find the fixture again.
[09:29:09] <KimK> I would put the G59.3's in the subrs and then hit a G54 - G59.2 after I got back from the tool change.
[09:29:41] <KimK> But there are probably many ways to skin the cat, maybe you'll have a better idea.
[09:34:58] <psha[work]> KimK: you may pass slot number as paramter to O-sub
[09:35:09] <psha[work]> i mean aitalmac may :)
[09:35:28] <psha[work]> so really only get_tool and set_tool subs are needed

[09:37:53] <KimK> If the subr handled the opening and closing of covers (if any) that would save a lot of bother too.

[09:49:31] <aitalmac> The tool change is simple, there are 20 clamps on a tube, the tools are inserted and taken out of the camps from the side, the motor to catch the tools come from above and catch them with a clamp built in the motor
[09:49:31] <aitalmac> then it comes out
[09:49:31] <aitalmac> The motor has also an index to lock it in a certain position
[09:49:32] <aitalmac> the clamps hold the tools automaticly so i don't need input output for those
[09:49:53] <psha[work]> KimK: not yet
[09:50:55] <aitalmac> I may put a protecting cover over the tools so i may need to control it, and i need to control the clamp of the spindle, the index of the spindle, and i need to set the different positions of the tools
[09:51:42] <aitalmac> And if possible the machine has to go take the tool 2 for example when from MDI i write T2M6
[09:52:23] <KimK> aitalmac: OK. Read back when you have time and come back with questions. You have four digital outputs under M62/M63. You'll have to figure out what to do with them, or get more from somewhere else.

[09:56:10] <KimK> aitalmac: You'll have to get used to the idea of letting go of M6 and T9 and so forth. You won't be using those.
[09:56:34] <psha[work]> KimK: do you aware of state of O-sub toolchanger?
[09:56:40] <psha[work]> mhaberler was working on it
[09:56:51] <KimK> No, I know nothing about it.
[09:57:02] <psha[work]> it's typicaly what we're currently discussing but bound to Tx M6
[09:57:10] <aitalmac> Why can't i use them?
[09:57:27] <psha[work]> aitalmac: M6 is hidden deep inside toolchanger
[09:57:30] <KimK> Oh, really? Well, aitalmac would certainly be interested in that.
[09:57:42] <psha[work]> in emc2.4 it's not possible to bind your own O-sub to M6 command
[09:57:55] <psha[work]> but i don't remember state of that work for emc2.5
[09:58:35] <aitalmac> I don't want to let go lol
[09:58:36] <aitalmac> I think i'm using the 2.6
[09:58:37] <aitalmac> Is it possible with that?
[09:58:38] <aitalmac> 2.4.6
[09:58:44] <aitalmac> sorry
[09:59:17] <KimK> That's still emc2.4 (2.4.x)
[09:59:30] <psha[work]> but 2.5 is avaiable from buildbot :)
[09:59:48] <psha[work]> i've installed 2.5 for my customer since i need gladevcp for UI
[10:02:09] <aitalmac> yes i get it
[10:02:09] <aitalmac> So no chance of getting it to work with M6 command, instead i have to use the o word
[10:02:10] <aitalmac> right?
[10:02:11] <aitalmac> I'll probably have to install 2.5 here too
[10:02:39] <aitalmac> Right now i'm happy i got the machine to move with an MPG pedant
[10:02:49] <aitalmac> :)
[10:03:12] <psha[work]> aitalmac: as i already mentioned i don't remember state of that work :(
[10:03:45] <aitalmac> It works very good, i did my first custom hal file and i'm starting to understand how hal works
[10:03:51] <KimK> Here's another similar tool changer, although you don't see the tool changer until about 1:40:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBz_HQ6vcT8
[10:04:23] <aitalmac> I'm sorry KimK but i do not get youtube from China
[10:04:39] <aitalmac> :(
[10:04:45] <KimK> Ah, OK.
[10:06:51] <aitalmac> Can i do automatic tool change with a custom hal file?
[10:07:41] <mazafaka> KimK: I don't smoke neuther drink so much to figure out such themes.
[10:09:37] <KimK> mazafaka: So the vodka industry is unhappy with you, then?
[10:09:40] <aitalmac> someone has some example files for automatic tool change?
[10:10:16] <mazafaka> yeah
[10:10:43] <KimK> mazafaka: Well, good for you, anyway.
[10:10:54] <mazafaka> yeah, why not good.
[10:13:17] <KimK> aitalmac: You would just write out the steps needed to do a tool change, as if you were doing it from the MDI panel.

[10:14:14] <aitalmac> you mean in the hal file?
[10:14:58] <aitalmac> I really don't get how the process will work, where do i write the commands, how do i process the commands from the axis ui
[10:16:10] <psha[work]> aitalmac: first you need to do it manualy
[10:16:20] <psha[work]> start axis, go to MDI panel and run commands
[10:16:33] <KimK> No, in gcode. G59.3, M19 (maybe?), get tool out of way of covers opening, open covers, wait for covers to open, go get tool, go get out of the way of the covers, close covers, wait for covers to close, return from tool change. Did I miss anything?
[10:16:41] <psha[work]> then copy commands to separate file and call them with o<filename>
[10:17:01] <aitalmac> yes a lot
[10:17:29] <aitalmac> You missed i have to round the motor at low rpm and insert the index to lock the motor at a certain position

[10:17:52] <KimK> M19 should handle that for you. Do that in HAL if you can.
[10:18:35] <aitalmac> then i have to get the tool by opening the clamp move down and close the clamp
[10:18:41] <KimK> M19 is modal with M3-M4-M5
[10:18:47] <aitalmac> how do i connect a gcode to command my output?
[10:19:35] <KimK> That's in HAL in those digital outputs I mentioned earlier
[10:19:48] <aitalmac> ok
[10:19:55] <KimK> You're talking about M62 and M63, right?
[10:20:08] <aitalmac> do you have documentation that can help me doing this?
[10:20:20] <aitalmac> yes
[10:20:26] <aitalmac> m62 and m63
[10:20:27] <KimK> The User Manual and the Integrator Manual
[10:20:40] <KimK> Maybe the HAL Manual too.
[10:21:54] <aitalmac> So to do this i really need to get the whole package
[10:22:11] <KimK> Start with the O-codes section and the M62-M65 section.
[10:22:29] <KimK> What do you have now?
[10:22:48] <aitalmac> I mean i have to read all the documentation
[10:23:05] <KimK> Start with the O-codes section and the M62-M65 section.
[10:23:18] <aitalmac> Yes i will
[10:23:51] <aitalmac> I have read some things, but i'm not used to read books in english
[10:24:24] <aitalmac> Thank you so much for your help
[10:24:32] <KimK> Ah, OK. Sorry, we don't have a Chinese translation. Would French help?
[10:25:23] <KimK> You're welcome. Come back anytime with questions.
[10:25:45] <aitalmac> No i don't read chinese either i'm Italian
[10:25:46] <aitalmac> And i hate french

[13:50:00] <cncbasher> and figuring out the inevitable connection tree

[13:55:20] <cradek> have you seen that if you load up emc, it will print into dmesg all the pinouts?

[13:56:14] <cncbasher> arh no not looked at dmesg
[13:56:31] <cradek> try doing that
[13:56:36] <cncbasher> ok thanks
[13:57:01] <cradek> the pinouts change according to how you load the firmware (number of encoders, stepgens, pwmgens, etc) so just looking at the dmesg is the easiest way to see how you need to wire it up
[13:58:02] <cncbasher> thanks for that , yes the pinouts changing is where it became confusing
[13:58:57] <cncbasher> my first shot at using mesa cards , so the learning curve begins
[14:00:20] <Valen> are you using the mesa drivers as well?
[14:01:11] <Valen> as in motor drivers
[14:01:26] <cradek> cncbasher: it's easy - decide how many encoders/stepgens/pwmgens you need, load the firmware accordingly, look at dmesg and wire stuff up to the pins it says
[14:02:48] <cncbasher> no not using mesa drivers , yea think i can find my way round now

[16:36:27] <JT-Shop> only one axis moves?
[16:39:16] <JT-Shop> or does the regulating wheel tilt also move via CNC?
[16:43:30] <Xolotl4> for your questions it seems that you know more about the process that i do, so i thing is possible to use EMC, thanks
[16:43:51] <JT-Shop> I just looked it up on wiki :)
[16:44:21] <JT-Shop> should be a simple config with max of 2 axis
[16:45:57] <Xolotl4> ok

[17:10:56] <danimal_garage> mornin
[17:11:03] <JT-Shop> Hi Dan
[17:11:36] <danimal_garage> Hi John
[17:12:49] <danimal_garage> how goes it
[17:15:31] <JT-Shop> not bad, I have a little helper for a bit to paint and mow and stuff
[17:16:34] <archivist_emc> I need a little helper/slave here to mow and paint!
[17:16:38] <danimal_garage> cool, high school kid or something?
[17:16:43] <JT-Shop> get the inside of the shop finished off and start moving in
[17:16:56] <JT-Shop> yea, my partners kid
[17:17:21] <danimal_garage> i had an employee for a few months
[17:17:24] <FinboySlick> archivist_emc: I've been toying with the design of an EMC-controlled mower for a little while ;)
[17:17:55] <danimal_garage> kept scrapping stuff so i let him go
[17:18:17] <archivist_emc> Im more likely to make an EMC controlled microfiche scanner
[17:19:10] <JT-Shop> yea, that sucks when they cost you money to work for you
[17:19:20] <danimal_garage> and figures, as soon as i let him go, i get swamped
[17:19:35] <danimal_garage> literally like the next day i got busy again
[17:19:49] <danimal_garage> oh well
[17:20:18] <JT-Shop> I'd rather start from scratch if I ever hire anyone... no bad habits
[17:20:18] <danimal_garage> at least while he was here i had the chance to streamline some processes so i should be able to keep up on my own
[17:20:28] <JT-Shop> cool
[17:20:44] <danimal_garage> yea, he was "from scratch"
[17:21:04] <archivist_emc> you have to test aptitude though
[17:21:09] <danimal_garage> problem was he was an old hippie who probably smoked way too much weed
[17:21:34] <danimal_garage> he picked stuff up fast, but he would forget EVERYTHING the next time we ran those parts
[17:21:50] <danimal_garage> i even made him operation sheets but he'd find a new way to screw up

[20:24:45] <robin_sz> hmm, got to figure out how to set up the toolprobe on the haas now
[20:25:22] <robin_sz> I suspect there are some macros involved
[20:26:10] <danimal_garage> if it's anything like an anal probe, i'm sorry, i can't help.
[20:26:38] <JT-Shop> LOL
[20:27:46] <danimal_garage> i just put my first ad in a magazine. let's hope it pays for itself
[20:28:00] <JT-Shop> ad for parts?
[20:28:16] <danimal_garage> yes, my for my company
[20:28:19] <cradek> danimal_garage: awesome
[20:28:35] <cradek> more like hope it *more than* pays for itself
[20:28:59] <JT-Shop> cool Dan
[20:29:07] <danimal_garage> looks like the want to do a product test and review too, so that's bonus for me as well
[20:29:31] <JT-Shop> a biker magazine I assume?
[20:29:34] <danimal_garage> cradek: yea, totally, i hope it works out
[20:30:06] <JT-Shop> yea, you might have to hire Chong back :)
[20:30:08] <danimal_garage> yes, Bike Magazine
[20:30:24] <danimal_garage> haha i hope not!
[20:30:57] <JT-Shop> get more efficient to make more parts with less time
[20:31:04] <danimal_garage> turns out the publisher is local, i'm doing a bike ride tomorrow morning with him
[20:31:13] <JT-Shop> cool
[20:31:16] <archivist_emc> I knew a magazine owner and he said the add needs to be in for a number of issues, else it wont get noticed, could of been his sales pitch but I think he may have been honest
[20:32:08] <danimal_garage> JT-Shop: i'm working on that. I've been sending a bunch f stuff out for waterjet to save me some time

[20:33:37] <danimal_garage> JT-Shop: not bad, but i remachine most of it. i used to make these parts out of round stock, but i switched to plate and i have them waterjet out into doughnuts of different sizes
[20:33:44] <archivist_emc> Ive never done it though :)
[20:34:06] -!-
Poincare [Poincare!~jefffnode@dst.ampersant.be] has joined #emc
[20:34:12] <danimal_garage> so i save time on the lathe, and i don't have to bandsaw up 4" diameter stainless anymore
[20:34:41] <archivist_emc> we did all the clock gears from sheet too
[20:34:54] <JT-Shop> so you cut out 2 Ops with the water jet
[20:35:07] <danimal_garage> basically, yea
[20:35:14] <JT-Shop> cool
[20:35:49] <danimal_garage> plus i have them cut into diameters that are closer to the finished size, rather than just buying round stock that will fit the biggest size and wasting the rest
[20:35:53] <jdhNC> sounds like you need to buy a waterjet.
[20:36:09] <jdhNC> they are incredibly cool anyway
[20:36:15] <danimal_garage> eh, it's cheap enough to have it done
[20:36:58] <danimal_garage> the cost of the waterjetting is about 2/3 the cost of the saw blades i had to buy to cut it up from bar stock
[20:37:13] <danimal_garage> so it's nearly a wash

[20:41:34] <JT-Shop> the new shop is so empty atm it has an echo
[20:41:39] <danimal_garage> haha
[20:41:59] <danimal_garage> oh i insulated and drywalled one wall in my shop so far
[20:42:06] <danimal_garage> the wall that gets the most sun
[20:42:09] <JT-Shop> the garage has no room at all
[20:42:13] <JT-Shop> that's got to help

[20:45:06] <JT-Shop> I could not believe the difference that made... took about 30 minutes to install
[20:45:21] <danimal_garage> nice
[20:45:22] <JT-Shop> I could not keep the garage cool past 10am without them
[20:45:25] <danimal_garage> expensive?
[20:45:32] <JT-Shop> $1/foot
[20:45:43] <danimal_garage> not bad
[20:45:51] <JT-Shop> for 3 doors cost me $75... best $75 I ever spent
[20:45:56] <danimal_garage> easy to find at homo depot?
[20:46:36] <JT-Shop> if you have std size doors yea. I got mine from the garage door people, much better seals and cheaper than homo deopt
[20:47:09] <danimal_garage> hmm
[20:47:16] <danimal_garage> i'll look around
[20:47:23] <danimal_garage> thnks for the tip!
[20:47:28] <JT-Shop> np
[20:48:01] <JT-Shop> I would have never thought of it if the garage guy didn't mention it a couple of times when talking about door insulation
[20:48:32] * JT-Shop wanders over to the VMC to make a few chips
[20:51:18] <danimal_garage> me too, mill's running right now

[23:42:02] <Tom_itx> they got em together
[23:42:09] <Tom_itx> it's possible
[23:42:32] <Tom_itx> i have been known to bend them back in place
[23:42:40] <andypugh> I am trying to decide if the chatter that my lathe suffers from is headstock bearing related. before I blow £10 on a new set (quality lathe, this)

[23:43:01] <Tom_itx> you should be able to inspect what you need without destruction
[23:43:20] <andypugh> Getting the outer races out is going to need a bar welding across therace to beat upon..
[23:43:30] <Tom_itx> you will see pitting or associated wear if it's the rollers
[23:43:33] -!-

[23:43:47] <Tom_itx> how big is it?
[23:43:53] <Tom_itx> several inches diameter?
[23:43:55] <andypugh> 32007
[23:44:02] <KimK> There are some type of bearings where you have to get all of the rollers/balls over to one side to get the races apart. But is there any play? Maybe there is a trick, I hope so?
[23:44:10] <Tom_itx> right
[23:44:21] <Tom_itx> but with the carrier you can't easily do that
[23:44:30] <KimK> Exactly
[23:44:36] <andypugh> Deep-groove balls need you to remove the cage, then push all the balls to one side.
[23:44:46] <Tom_itx> you just about have to tweak it a bit to get the first one out
[23:45:03] <andypugh> I can see how it might all snap together, but un-snappping is more tricky
[23:45:10] <Tom_itx> yup
[23:45:36] <Tom_itx> i would try close non destructive inspection first
[23:45:40] <KimK> Can you clean it with kerosene or some such and then inspect it by "feel", plus whatever you can "glimpse"?
[23:45:42] <andypugh> The rollers are discoloured.
[23:45:53] <Tom_itx> just hot lubricant probably
[23:45:59] <Tom_itx> or are they blue?
[23:46:08] <Tom_itx> if they're blue or grey they're shot
[23:46:21] -!-
ries has quit [Client Quit]
[23:46:23] <Tom_itx> and you will start to see pits on the race
[23:46:37] <andypugh> As is the inner race. I know it ran without oil for a while because the builder didn't bother to drill the oiler hole all the way through the casting.
[23:46:49] <andypugh> Just a brown colour.
[23:46:50] -!-

[23:47:08] <andypugh> But on the surface of the rollers too. (and I would have expected that to polish off)
[23:47:29] <Tom_itx> brown is oil
[23:47:54] <Tom_itx> unless it's the start of heat discoloration on it's way to blue
[23:49:16] <andypugh> It gets warm in use. It once got properly hot (before I discovered the oiler problem). Nasty bit of design, oil drips in from an oil hole, and nothing keeps it there as there is only a plastic swarf-baffle, so it drains straight out again.

[23:50:48] <KimK> andypugh: Does it look like any of these? (Google Images search "Bearing 32007")
http://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&source=hp&biw=1920&bih=911&q=Bearing+32007&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2&oq=Bearing+32007&aq=f&aqi=&aql=undefined&gs_sm=s&gs_upl=3815l6939l0l13l13l0l5l1l0l197l1131l2.6l8
[23:51:55] <andypugh> Aye, could be any of the single row ones
[23:53:07] <Tom_itx> you just about have to tweak the fat side of the roller cage to get the first one out if that's the goal
[23:53:46] <Tom_itx> it's usually a softer metal and can bend back if you're careful
[23:53:58] <andypugh> I know what to look for once I have it apart. I need to reassemble to replace the plastic baffle that I broke dismantling though....
[23:53:58] <Tom_itx> if in doubt put a new bearing in it
[23:54:08] <Tom_itx> what do those cost?
[23:54:19] <andypugh> Cheap ones are £5 each.
[23:54:33] <Tom_itx> hardly worth salvaging it
[23:54:47] <andypugh> http://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/advanced_search_result.php?sort=2a&search_in_description=0&keywords=32007&x=0&y=0
[23:55:19] <andypugh> No, but at the same time there is little point having the lathe apart for a few days waiting for parts if the existing parts are OK.
[23:55:41] <Tom_itx> order one first and you'll have a spare if you don't need it
[23:58:24] <andypugh> There are two in there.
[23:58:35] <andypugh> Also, getting the outers out is likely to be painful.
[23:58:48] <Tom_itx> just a punch and some patience
[23:58:58] <Tom_itx> or a puller
[23:59:01] <andypugh> They are up against a shoulder, each side of the headstock.
[23:59:40] <Tom_itx> there should be a notch or shoulder where you can access it. if not it's piss poor design
