[00:04:37] theorb is now known as theorbtwo
[00:04:58] <andypugh> That PS that Jymmm posted earlier is perfect. Have a look inside it with a text editor, it tells you what to edit, and it's all done with variables.
[00:05:20] <Tom_itx> i missed that one
[00:05:54] <Jymmm> andypugh: Told ya =)
[00:06:10] <Jymmm> andypugh: What most ppl dont realize is that PS is actually a programming language
[00:06:32] <andypugh> Oh, I knew that. I also know it is a programming language I don't know.
[00:07:03] <Jymmm> andypugh: It's super easy though. even Tom_itx can do it ;)

[00:20:43] <andypugh> It doesn't matter to me, but that file actually puts in twice as many slots as asked for, because it multiplies in the wrong place.

[00:23:41] <JT-Shop> andypugh: why bitmap instead of vector?
[00:24:31] <andypugh> Because printing in inherently bitmap
[00:25:01] -!- JaegerBar has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[00:25:27] <JT-Shop> unless you have an old pen plotter :) I guess
[00:25:56] <andypugh> I have considered drawing resist lines directly, because I do have an old pen plotter.
[00:26:13] -!- Loetmichel [Loetmichel!Cylly@p54B129A4.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #emc
[00:26:40] <andypugh> Normally I shun bitmaps, but the people I might get to print it for me say that they want a 6702x6702 bitmap.
[00:26:49] <andypugh> (that's for a 60mm negative)
[00:27:22] <JT-Shop> what are you making?
[00:27:28] <andypugh> An encoder
[00:27:31] <JT-Shop> cool
[00:28:13] <andypugh> JT-Shop: Have a look at the file Jymmm found (and I mean, have a look inside it) http://fennetic.net/pub/irc/encoder-panelized.ps

[00:40:11] <andypugh> More than half that code is filling the page with duplicates, and putting some circular text in the middle.
[00:41:44] <JT-Shop> I like this comment %Don't mess around here unless you know what you're doing"
[00:43:43] <andypugh> Anyway, time to log. Night all.

[00:52:05] <A2Sheds> you can pick up a Canon 9600dpi inkjet for ~$100, inkjet transparency film ~$20 100-sheets
[00:53:44] <A2Sheds> 1pL drops should be good enough for an encoder wheel
[00:56:09] <A2Sheds> tell Andy http://www.amazon.com/Canon-iP2702-Inkjet-Printer-4103B002/dp/B0032AN4O4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323046528&sr=8-1

[01:20:02] <danimal_laptop> JT-Shop: chiller's working good so far
[01:20:12] <danimal_laptop> anodized all day yesterday, no problems
[01:20:37] <Tom_itx> that coil tube in your pics?
[01:21:31] <danimal_laptop> yea
[01:21:48] <danimal_laptop> it's plumbed to a 500w chiller
[01:21:49] <Tom_itx> must be stainless?
[01:21:52] <danimal_laptop> no
[01:21:55] <Tom_itx> hmm
[01:21:56] <danimal_laptop> aluminuminum
[01:22:12] <danimal_laptop> stainless would die faster
[01:22:15] <danimal_laptop> in the acid
[01:22:17] <Tom_itx> oh
[01:23:08] <danimal_laptop> most people use aluminum cathodes for anodizing
[01:23:25] <danimal_laptop> the coil is connected to the cathodes, effectively making it one
[01:23:49] <Tom_itx> how expendable does that make it?
[01:24:28] <ssi> JT-Shop: no, no luck
[01:24:46] <danimal_laptop> it'll last a while if i take it out when not in use, but it only cost me $12 to make, so no biggie
[01:24:55] <Tom_itx> oh

[04:32:21] <nieros_> I know this is an EMC specific channel.. but are there any good general primers on Storage? I come from a heavy networking background and I'm looking to dive in.

[05:02:02] <Eartaker> nieros_, storage as in?
[05:03:13] <nieros_> SAN, FC, iSCSI etc- all of it. I'm a complete noob but was introduced to Vblock this past week (UCS/MDS + VNX) and thought it was the coolest shit ever.
[05:04:16] <nieros_> I just have absolutely no idea where to even start :)
[05:05:20] <Eartaker> you might have better luck asking in ##hardware since nothing in this room has to do with networking or server storage arrays
[05:05:47] <nieros_> oh,
[05:05:55] <nieros_> EMC.. is not the EMC I was thinking
[05:05:58] <nieros_> XD
[05:06:06] <Eartaker> nope.. EMC is a CNC control program
[05:06:15] <nieros_> which is equally cool
[05:06:23] <nieros_> But completely different
[05:06:26] <Eartaker> yep lol
[05:06:30] <nieros_> thanks!

[13:22:52] <Mjolinor> I am jsut writing some pic SW to activate the current reduce pin on the TB6560 when there is no step signal
[13:23:11] <Mjolinor> Is 2 milli seconds enough time for a stepper to do it's stuff before I reduce hte current?

[14:05:07] <Loetmichel> Mjolinor: as a normal stepper can only start with about 1ms, i would sax: its critically short... better 5 or 10 ms
[14:05:19] <Loetmichel> say
[14:05:31] <Loetmichel> s/1ms/1kHz
[14:12:53] <SWPadnos> Mjolinor, I'd say more like 1-2 seconds. consider this: with a 2ms timeout, you can't step slower than 500 steps/second without the PIC putting the drive into low current mode

[14:18:28] <cradek> restarting is the harder thing to solve
[14:18:36] <cradek> by the time you get your first step pulse it's too late
[14:24:44] <cradek> to do it right, I recommend adding current-reduction ability to software stepgen
[14:25:22] <cradek> it would first resume full current, then hold the step pulse for a configurable amount of time, then step
[14:26:15] <cradek> there are all sorts of other hold times already implemented, due to the inherent lousyness of step/dir control.

[15:57:36] <IG-garage> thanks. I'm about to weld together mine one, myself, out of stainless steel.
[15:58:24] <ssi> jthornton: no
[15:58:29] <ssi> jthornton: I ordered a new start cap from mcmaster
[15:59:00] <ssi> if that doesn't fix it, I may try finding a motor shop
[15:59:19] <jthornton> IG-garage: cool, yea the stove is a bit low to load without laying on the floor
[15:59:31] <jthornton> ssi: hopefully that fixes it
[15:59:35] <IG-garage> this former something will be a stove soon. http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/4524/137304751.1/0_741a2_d3da10ac_XL.jpg
[16:00:24] <ssi> jthornton: hopefully... I did take the opportunity to replace the wire feeding it. It was woefully undersized
[16:00:30] <FinboySlick> IG-garage: Don't burn the bike!
[16:00:40] <ssi> and whenever the thing would trip the breaker, that wire would be uncomfortably warm :)
[16:01:03] <ssi> also, after replacing the 30A breaker with a 50A one, it no longer trips the breaker, it trips the motor's internal thermal cutout
[16:01:07] <jthornton> yea then you had a voltage drop causing the current to rise
[16:01:52] <jthornton> so it is still drawing too much current I assume
[16:02:06] <jthornton> I don't have any idea what a bad run cap will do
[16:02:06] <IG-garage> Why do you need a riser for the stove? It need to warm up the cold air which is at the floor
[16:02:25] <jthornton> so I can load it without laying on the floor
[16:02:53] <jthornton> the whole shop gets comfy warm when I run the stove
[16:03:17] <IG-garage> but this could make you young and fresh! "as a cucumber" as we say in Russia :)
[16:03:39] <jthornton> I put a cheap box fan behind the stove to blow the hot air to the other side of the shop
[16:03:41] <ssi> I've seen some less-than-fresh cucumbers...
[16:03:52] <jthornton> lol
[16:04:30] <jthornton> IG-garage: I got to drive a Ural with a side car the other day... very interesting steering
[16:05:27] <IG-garage> FinboySlick: this is the bottome of the stove, it now has the door but I do not have a photo yet: http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/5822/137304751.1/0_741a5_3d291fe2_XL.jpg
[16:06:06] <FinboySlick> IG-garage: Oooh, I thought you were going to convert that concrete workspace into a stove.
[16:06:21] <IG-garage> Ural is just like a pickup truck. You even can start its engine using kick-start when you sit onto the bike
[16:06:49] <IG-garage> I will con
[16:07:15] <IG-garage> I will convert it into a cozy steampunk-styled workshop

[16:18:18] <Mjolinor> my reason for doing it in a PIC is that I don't have enough IO to do it with a dedicated prallel port pin
[16:18:52] <Mjolinor> I am also sitting the PIC in series with the step line so that I don't pass the step until the current is high
[16:19:44] <cradek> then you may put the first step too close to the second step
[16:19:56] <cradek> you can't delay steps without stepgen knowing about it, or you will violate timing constraints
[16:20:06] <Mjolinor> from what i can gather form the rather crappy toshiba data sheet the pulse is 66 us (microstepped) so I figured 2 ms was plenty
[16:20:47] <Mjolinor> but maximum jitter imposed by the PIC is about 3 us, I cant see that making anydifference, it's too short
[16:21:18] <cradek> I don't understand how jitter is related to delaying the first step pulse
[16:21:57] <Mjolinor> themaximu delay between getting the step signal from the parallel port and aserting the output pin is 3 us, taht si what I am claling jitter
[16:22:26] <Mjolinor> sadly ther eis no info in the tosh data sheet about how long the current takes to increase or decrease as hte TQx pins change

[16:26:15] <Mjolinor> i think I will rewrite it and make it a few seconds
[16:26:53] <Mjolinor> i just did it the easy way decrementing an 8 bit register but that is max 2ms so I will have to go to the internal timer and set a few seconds to power reduce I think
[16:26:55] <Mjolinor> it iwll be better

[20:07:37] <JaegerBar> hahaha that's a lot of people
[20:08:40] <cradek> Rogge: don't ask to ask; always just ask your real question. if someone has the answer they will give it to you.
[20:09:34] <Rogge> Sorry! I've followed the Glade tutorials and been successful integrating Glade to Axis... but can it be used to design a UI from scratch?
[20:10:44] <cradek> I don't know if ALL the necessary pieces are there, but I think many are
[20:12:21] <Rogge> I've seen UIs in Moccha, QT, TCL - can someone offer an opinion on a good platform for UI development?
[20:12:33] <JaegerBar> lol he's really running his mill in the back of his car
[20:14:16] <syyl_tb> uhm
[20:14:22] <syyl_tb> whats up with http://www.linuxcnc.org/ ?
[20:15:04] <skunkworks_> syyl_tb: upgrading
[20:15:11] <syyl_tb> ah, ok
[20:15:17] <syyl_tb> thank you :)
[20:19:10] <A2Sheds> why didn't EMC get a name like Joomla or Drupal or Hjkkhzvh?

[20:19:39] <Loetmichel> i was on a convention with some 50 quadcopterfans
[20:19:51] <syyl_tb> emc sounds much cooler ;)

[20:23:48] <Loetmichel> that bit of aluminium shreds... i have used an angle grinder on steel with only short trousers on in "my days"...
[20:24:00] <FinboySlick> Loetmichel: OK, one wikipedia article later, allow me to reply: Oh sure, you germans have tough nipples, I've seen Rammstein on stage.
[20:24:09] <Loetmichel> HARHAR
[20:24:48] <alex4nder-> FinboySlick: Rammstein on stage is .. something
[20:25:07] <Loetmichel> i thint "sissy" would be the correct translation... sasy dict.cc
[20:25:08] <FinboySlick> alex4nder-: Yeah, that's a mild way to put it.
[20:25:09] <Loetmichel> ;-)
[20:25:50] <Loetmichel> ramstein is not my kind of music, but i hafe done one or two stages for them...
[20:26:03] <alex4nder-> FinboySlick: at the show I went to, they were breaking fluorescent lights over each other
[20:26:18] <Loetmichel> lets say it this way: be happy to not know what happens BACKSTAGE ;-)
[20:26:31] <alex4nder-> and spraying the crowd down with some cartoon proxy phallus
[20:26:46] <alex4nder-> needless to say later in the tour, they got arrested
[20:27:05] <FinboySlick> alex4nder-: after mock-sodomizing someone, last I've seen.
[20:27:36] <Loetmichel> FinboySlick: are you sure that WAS "mock" ? ;-)
[20:27:36] <alex4nder-> FinboySlick: yup, they did that at this show as well.
[20:27:50] <alex4nder-> Loetmichel: well if it was real, the keyboardist did a good job keeping the show going
[20:27:56] <Loetmichel> arhar
[20:28:04] <alex4nder-> either way, they're characters
[20:28:13] <Loetmichel> yes, backstage also ;-)
[20:28:15] <alex4nder-> haha
[20:28:19] <Loetmichel> its not just show ;-)
[20:28:19] <A2Sheds> it's illegal there to mock someone?
[20:28:41] <Loetmichel> A2Sheds: no, but to sodomize ;-)
[20:28:43] <alex4nder-> in the US it's all fun and games until someone breaks out a fake penis
[20:28:46] <Loetmichel> on stage ;-)
[20:29:01] <alex4nder-> but I saw them in LA, and that's just par for the course here.
[20:29:35] <A2Sheds> or a breasticle for 0.2 seconds on live TV
[20:29:47] <alex4nder-> think of the children
[20:30:08] <syyl_tb> but direct hit from a 12ga shotgun in the face is ok? ;)
[20:30:26] <alex4nder-> only if you're in the executive branch
[20:30:37] <Loetmichel> syyl: americans... 'nuff said :)
[20:31:25] <A2Sheds> so how do they undo all the damage to children in Germany since they allow nudity on TV, in magazines etc?
[20:31:35] <alex4nder-> A2Sheds: they let them form bands like Rammstein
[20:31:39] <alex4nder-> problem solved
[20:31:50] <A2Sheds> hehe
[20:32:20] <Loetmichel> A2Sheds: what damage?
[20:32:25] <alex4nder-> you ever played the game Florida or Germany?
[20:32:58] <alex4nder-> someone will tell you a completely messed up/twisted/ridiculous story, and you have to guess if it happened in Florida or Germany.
[20:33:26] <Loetmichel> last time i was asked th do "the talk" to the boy of a friend of mine ( 8 years!) he asked" ok, uncle, what do you want to know?"
[20:33:27] <Loetmichel> ;-)
[20:34:00] <FinboySlick> syyl_tb: Direct hit from shotgun is okay, just ask Dick Cheney ;)
[20:34:14] <Loetmichel> ant i i look at the rates of teen birth germany doesent do so bad...
[20:34:20] <Loetmichel> and if i
[20:34:21] <A2Sheds> Loetmichel: not sure, but it must be really bad since they have to ban it from TV, unless it's on cable
[20:34:51] <Loetmichel> A2Sheds: in germany?
[20:34:55] <Loetmichel> or in us?
[20:35:00] <A2Sheds> in the US
[20:35:51] <Loetmichel> i think so.. in germany you can have softcore live on (free)tv if you stay awake long enough ;-)
[20:36:17] <Mjolinor> donkeys and wet suits if oyu pay for it :)
[20:36:22] <Loetmichel> we have more concerns about brutality than sex over here
[20:36:56] <FinboySlick> Loetmichel: With the exception of brutal sex?
[20:37:01] <A2Sheds> violence seems to be fine here
[20:37:14] <Loetmichel> FinboySlick: hmmm
[20:37:57] <JaegerBar> lol softcore.....jesus
[20:38:08] <Loetmichel> Mjolinor: donkeys? I dont know (i am married and have no use for this channels) but i think tat would violate the law for animal protection
[20:38:23] <Mjolinor> :) probaly
[20:38:39] <FinboySlick> Even if the donkey enjoys it?
[20:38:48] <Mjolinor> I suppose fish would be OK though

[20:43:27] <syyl_ws> and the wetsuit...

[20:44:56] <syyl_ws> you got a problem ;)

[21:57:33] <andypugh> ABS sensor wheels would make an OK encoder target, possibly using the actual ABS sensor.

[21:58:04] <andypugh> http://www.gasgoo.com/auto-products/sensor-558/1133452.html for example.
[21:58:33] <Mjolinor> don't think they would be accurate enough
[21:58:49] <Mjolinor> they use halleffect sensors
[21:58:55] <andypugh> You can thread (just about) with one PPR
[21:59:08] <Mjolinor> hmm
[21:59:24] <Mjolinor> so I have no worries with my original disk at 48 slots then
[21:59:46] <andypugh> No, I hobbed gears with a 50 tooth sensor
[21:59:54] <Mjolinor> abs discs hardly work for ABS in reality :)
[22:00:28] <andypugh> A crank angle sensor is something I mean to experiment with (I have a few in my desk at work)
[22:00:45] -!- vladimirek has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[22:00:45] <Mjolinor> that would work I think
[22:01:01] <andypugh> That's a 60-2 magnetic track. They even use quadrature on stop-start vehicles.
[22:01:01] <Mjolinor> still hall effect but a lot better device generally
[22:01:40] <Mjolinor> but you may have problems iwth the actual mass of metal that you can have unless you are going to use a wheel the size of a flywheeel on a car
[22:01:45] <cradek> andypugh: missing pulse for index?
[22:01:59] <andypugh> Yes, hence my recent query on the dev list
[22:02:06] <cradek> andypugh: (that would be interesting/challenging to deal with)
[22:02:42] <andypugh> Mjolinor: The crank sensor is about 100mm diameter, pressed on to a hub that sits behind the FEAD belt drive.
[22:03:10] <Mjolinor> ok, soem are, I was htinkin g of hteones on the flywheel
[22:03:11] <andypugh> (Easy to press off the hub, then you have an 80mm through-hole, ideal for a lathe encoder)
[22:03:37] <andypugh> Yes, they used to use the actual starter ring gear.
[22:03:38] <cradek> do they control both spark and injection?
[22:03:46] <andypugh> cradek: Yes.
[22:03:47] <Mjolinor> yes
[22:03:56] <cradek> I suppose you could put the index hole wherever nothing needs to happen
[22:04:02] <Mjolinor> they control everything from that :)
[22:04:04] <andypugh> And they guarantee injection accuracy to 0.1 degree.
[22:04:48] <andypugh> (I don't know anything about sparks, our engines don't use them :-)

[22:10:01] <Nick001-Shop> cradek Found the info and the cd checks good to the md file on the cd. I'll try the shift key and then put in a newer video card and see if that helps. BTW do you have a Hardinge HCNC with the flat turret and are you using the plc to control it (Pico card?)
[22:10:06] <A2Sheds> you can either seal the print or use a ethanol based ink for thermal inkjet
[22:10:49] <skunkworks_> andypugh: like a resolver? ;)
[22:11:31] <andypugh> skunkworks_: Resolvers do win for ruggedness, but I don't fancy trying to make one.
[22:12:18] <andypugh> Though, as I am already making a brushless motor...
[22:12:44] <skunkworks_> heh
[22:13:18] <skunkworks_> andypugh: the expantion/voltage was close enough to linear to me...
[22:13:20] <cradek> mine is HNC and yes it uses classicladder for the turret
[22:13:30] <cradek> the turret is extremely easy to run
[22:13:53] <cradek> it has full position feedback built in, and takes only two output bits to run
[22:14:30] <skunkworks_> SO - I should put a limit3 in front of the offset componant... just in case?
[22:15:28] <JaegerBar> andypugh can you teach me how to make a PID controller using an Atmel 8 bit microcontroller
[22:15:55] <skunkworks_> JaegerBar: why?
[22:16:10] <JaegerBar> i want to get better at control theory so i know what i'm doing when i go and get a servo kit

[22:17:59] <JaegerBar> i tried to tie it into the channel topic to stay relevant
[22:18:12] <andypugh> I am not especially good at control theory.
[22:19:45] <JaegerBar> so what
[22:19:55] <JaegerBar> i want to learn how write the C code for that to see if i can
[22:20:11] <JaegerBar> it doesn't have to perform perfectly, i just want to be able to ask you questions on how to get it roughly working
[22:20:20] <andypugh> The actual code is really simple.
[22:21:13] <cradek> once you understand pid the code is trivial to write
[22:21:15] <andypugh> When the forum comes back, I can give you a link.
[22:22:03] <JaegerBar> i understand an integral control loop
[22:22:17] <JaegerBar> but i don't understand how you can have P, I, and D controls all in the same loop
[22:22:27] <JaegerBar> and i also don't understand the discrete time theory
[22:22:45] <JaegerBar> converting a continuous time theory to work in the discrete-time domain which is in reality everything nowadays because it's all digital
[22:22:50] <Nick001-Shop> cradek - do have those files posted somewhere. I'm using Wallaces software files and I've actually had the machine going to the next tool without indexing and proceeding to continue. Luckily I was cutting air at the time. I think I should try for someting a little more reliable. It's back to normal for now but who knows for how long./
[22:22:55] <cpresser> JaegerBar: do you have basic knowledge in control theory?
[22:23:17] <andypugh> JaegerBar: You are over-thinking it :-)
[22:23:23] <andypugh> P = Pgain * E
[22:23:39] <cpresser> if yes, which is your native language. i have some pretty good stuff in german if you want to understand the math behind it :)
[22:23:44] <andypugh> I = I + Igain * E
[22:23:55] <andypugh> D = Dgain * (E - oldE)
[22:24:01] <andypugh> C = P + I + D

[22:32:17] <andypugh> What will be the starting point of your servo?
[22:34:53] <Nick001-Shop> cradex - are those files or something close to what you have on the linuxcnc somewhere? I've looked at the ladder files and I'll be in deep dudu trying to put them together.
[22:35:26] <cradek> Nick001-Shop: I don't think so, sorry
[22:35:42] <cradek> Nick001-Shop: but the turret is very easy to operate. if you know or learn rudimentary ladder you'll be fine.
[22:35:55] <JaegerBar> the starting point of my servo is a little DC motor
[22:36:00] <JaegerBar> and maybe a potentiometer?
[22:36:21] <andypugh> Eeeew! I don't know how they have the nerve: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-Pcs-Hand-Threading-M16-Screw-Thread-Metric-Plugs-Taps-/300619883826
[22:37:58] <andypugh> Somebody on here a few years ago made herself a servo from a DC motor, a cardboard disc and marker pen, and mouse-sensors. (from a ball mouse). I think she made an H-bridge using a ULN2008 controlled by the parport.

[22:40:17] <andypugh> Quite, hence my comment. I don't know how they have the nerve to show such clear photos.
[22:40:47] <Loetmichel> andypugh: ouch... got one in this quality also. http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=4273
[22:41:20] <Loetmichel> and the ebay seller has threatended me for giving him a negative.
[22:41:26] <andypugh> I think I could make better with a bolt and an angle grinder
[22:41:42] <Nick001-Shop> cradex - I guess I'll have to try it - after I get more of my machine going - resolver adapter on the spindle and hooking up all those SSR's in the back cabinet. I still have a lot of learning to do. (Old dogs-new tricks) Time to pull the plug and try the shift button and a new video card and see if anything works.
[22:42:16] <Loetmichel> he means about 80 eurs for a set M3->m10 of this would be so dirt cheap that i couldnt possibly requet more quality
[22:42:16] * cpresser shivers when looking at pictures like this
[22:43:09] <andypugh> Loetmichel: No, €80 for a set of that quality isn't fair. I got a similar set from Aldo for £20.
[22:43:12] <cpresser> the medium-quality ones from wuerth are about 10Euros per piece

[22:46:26] <Loetmichel> and nearly only the machine ones for dead end holes
[22:46:33] <andypugh> But I wanted an M16 for a one-off job.
[22:46:53] <Loetmichel> would be over here in germany about 12 eur
[22:47:05] <Loetmichel> a singel tap, not a set
[22:47:05] <andypugh> £30 for the set of three.
[22:47:11] <Loetmichel> single
[22:47:20] <andypugh> (and what _is_ the second for?
[22:47:22] <Loetmichel> no set needed
[22:47:48] <Loetmichel> the second what?
[22:47:55] <Loetmichel> tap on my photo?
[22:48:01] <andypugh> Taps come in Taper, Second and Plug
[22:48:09] <cpresser> most people over here use single-pass taps nowadays. those 3-pass-sets are not that common anymore
[22:48:24] <Loetmichel> thats an M5 single machine tap for through-holes
[22:48:31] <Loetmichel> hence the straight flutes
[22:48:53] <andypugh> I am a traditionalist. Even if I do often use a cordless drill to drive them :-)
[22:49:17] <Loetmichel> andypugh: you can do taht with the singe-pass taps ,too
[22:49:41] <Loetmichel> onla drawback: VERY short centering taper
[22:49:52] <andypugh> Yes, but I like having a Taper to get me lined up. In a through-hole that is normally the only one I use.
[22:49:59] <Loetmichel> so one have to aling carefully
[22:50:11] <Loetmichel> it will NOT center itself in the hole
[22:50:30] <andypugh> Last night I cut an M12 thread with an M6 tap :-)
[22:50:31] <cpresser> this is the tool i use to drive the taps: http://www.wtn-shop.de/out/pictures/1/gewinderatsche_p1.jpg
[22:50:57] <andypugh> cpresser: I don't like the ratchet ones. I prefer fixed.
[22:51:13] <cpresser> middle-position of the switch: fixed.
[22:51:23] <andypugh> Until you nudge it.
[22:51:25] <Loetmichel> andypugh: the last time i used something other than a cordless drill to drive the taps in something is lost in memory...
[22:51:44] <andypugh> I use one of those when working on the Fire Engine, as that is what they have.
[22:51:47] <Loetmichel> even with M1.6 i use the cordless
[22:51:48] <Loetmichel> ;-)
[22:51:54] <cpresser> the ratched function is only used to drive the tap out of the hole when done
[22:52:47] <Loetmichel> surprisingly i break occasionally a M6 or M8 in the cordless... until now never a M3 or M2 ?!?
