[00:04:31] <andypugh> I might have made an eBay error with it, the vendor is taking in terms of pallets and forklifts. The auction title described the printer as a 7300DT, but the spec was for a DX. The DX is on wheels with a 2400 sheet feeder..

[00:47:26] <andypugh> So, I have a 4mm x 30mm dia area of shaft onto which I want to mount a disc.
[00:47:37] <andypugh> The top part here:
http://imagebin.org/189264
[00:48:03] <andypugh> The green part is made, and can have metal removed, but none added.
[00:48:23] <andypugh> The disc also supplies end-float control to the brass part.
[00:49:40] <andypugh> Can anyone think of a good way to mount it? I have considered pressing (then I can't dismantle), three half-tapped grub-screws, or threading the bore and screwing it on (but then how to lock it?)
[00:51:19] <jdhNC> d) with a pin
[00:51:32] <andypugh> The half-tapped screws is probably the most functional, but I am not sure how to do that now that it is all made. (press on a ring, drill, tap, remove ring maybe?
[00:51:48] <andypugh> jdhNC: A pin from where?
[00:52:27] <jdhNC> through the inner edge of the disk
[00:52:55] <andypugh> Omitted for clarity are all the other components, there is no access at all from underneath, except perhaps through a hole drilled in the side
[00:53:32] <jdhNC> you don't need much of a pin to keep it from unscrewing do you?
[00:54:15] <andypugh> No. And I guess I could screw it on, then drive a pin into a half-and-half axial hole.
[00:54:32] <jdhNC> or 45'ed in at the edge
[00:55:03] <andypugh> I would ideally like it to be easy to dismantle, and adjustable.
[00:55:11] <jdhNC> or, a horizontal spring loaded pin that fits a notch
[00:55:25] <jdhNC> assuming complicated and difficult is better than simple
[00:56:12] <andypugh> No, simple is good, but I will accept complicated if it ticks all the boxes.
[00:56:57] <andypugh> I keep coming back to threaded with a grub-screw onto the thread, but I hate that.
[00:57:38] <jdhNC> http://i14.tinypic.com/4tkxf5t.jpg
[00:57:42] <jdhNC> middle left
[00:58:18] <andypugh> I bet that was annoying to find?

tlab [tlab!~tlab@c-98-223-22-156.hsd1.in.comcast.net] has joined #emc
[00:59:11] <andypugh> The problem is that I have to get the notch in the right place, and I would prefer some adjustability.
[00:59:17] <DaViruz> that looks like a firing pin safety block and an extractor
[00:59:17] <jdhNC> beretta sent me new ones for free
[01:00:13] <andypugh> Ah, gnu parts. One of the few things where people appreciate solid metal, intricately machined.
[01:01:34] <andypugh> You know, I might just press-fit it. It's easy to un-press.
[01:04:42] <andypugh> Or maybe I can taper-tap a grub-screw hole near the threaded bore, and cut a section partly loose so that when the grub screw is tightened it locks the thread>
[01:09:56] <Jymmm> andypugh: I'm not sure what you just said, but it sounds like a clusterfuck of a repair job =)
[01:11:12] <andypugh> Jymmm:

[01:11:56] <Jymmm> how thin is that wall you gonna drill/tap?
[01:12:17] -!-
Calyp has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[01:12:24] <andypugh> The depth of the section that drilled hole is in is 4mm, that's an M3 hole.
[01:13:36] <Jymmm> What if you cut BOTH ways and have the screw in the middle pushing out on both leafs?
[01:13:58] <Jymmm> ______O______
[01:14:10] <Jymmm> well my ascii art sucks tonight
[01:14:44] <andypugh> I don't have a 3mm saw blade...
[01:15:10] <Jymmm> oh, I yhoughy you were gonna vut on the mill
[01:15:23] <Jymmm> cut
[01:15:29] <Jymmm> thought
[01:16:00] <andypugh> I don't have a 0.5mm milling cutter..
[01:16:15] <Jymmm> you needs some tools =)
[01:16:22] <Jymmm> or tooling
[01:16:35] <andypugh> Miling 0.5 dia x 4mm deep would be a challenge, I think?
[01:17:04] <andypugh> I need a wire spark eroder, clearly.
[01:17:31] <Jymmm> There ya go... you now have justified a nice Christmas Gift for the shop =)
[01:17:51] <andypugh> First I would need a workshop for christmas.
[01:18:04] <andypugh> At the moment it is all in my garage, which is full.
[01:18:06] <Jymmm> one tool at a time makes a workshop
[01:18:44] <andypugh> In my case, I need one brick at a time.
[01:18:53] <Jymmm> if the taper does work, how about upsizing a pin in the hole till it doesn't move?
[01:19:15] <andypugh> I would like a separate workshop, one I can heat. It is below freezing in my garage today.
[01:22:55] <andypugh> Night all.

[06:40:10] <automata_> hi
[06:40:24] <automata_> I was looking at the code in emcrsh.cc
[06:40:44] <automata_> and came across the getRelActPos function
[06:42:55] <automata_> That function gets the actual position of the axes and returns a formated string with the coordinates
[06:43:26] <automata_> it also subtracts the applied offsets
[06:43:44] <automata_> However, it seems to subtract the g54 offset twice
[06:43:55] <automata_> anyone know why?
[06:46:36] <automata_> I think it should subtract the g54 offset and the g92 offset...
[06:46:59] <psha[work]> probably bug?
[06:47:09] <psha[work]> check history
[06:47:14] <psha[work]> git blame emcrsh.cc

[07:29:14] <automata_> the getRelActPos function also does not subtract the g43 tool offset
[07:29:44] <automata_> I think the getRelPos command should account for the g5X offset + g92 offset and G43 offset

[14:57:04] <awallin> it might be too "high level"..
[15:01:00] <Jordinar> so not recommended?
[15:02:20] <jthornton> there is a list on the forum of all the Mesa hardware and what goes with what
[15:03:14] <Jordinar> i've saved the link of that list a few weeks ago:
http://www.linuxcnc.org/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,20/func,view/catid,27/id,1325/lang,english/
[15:03:15] <Jordinar> - It's down now.

[15:29:36] <Jordinar> Mesa writes that 3C20 is "command compatible" with SoftDMC - does that mean that it can be used with EMC2, although it's not listed in the forum compatibility thread directly?
[15:31:15] <cncbasher> jordinar> softdmc is for windows
[15:33:28] <cncbasher> jordinar > what are you looking for in spec ? most of the mesa cards are supported in emc , although the newer 6i68 pcie may be hot of the press and the drivers still to be tested etc
[15:34:53] <cncbasher> jordinar> most emc users use the 5i20 / 5i23 or 7i43 as a base

[18:12:26] <packrat> query: how difficult would it be to make dovetail-like features in aluminum, and how much of a price boost might i expect on that over, say, just tapped holes?
[18:13:06] <packrat> (i know this isnt an EMC question, but fuck, i dunno any other irc locations machinists hang out)
[18:13:37] <IchGucksLive> dovetail on alu wy
[18:13:51] <packrat> easy and quick assembly
[18:14:11] <packrat> for a portable demonstration unit, of sorts
[18:14:17] <IchGucksLive> T-profile with accesous just turn a screw
[18:14:50] <IchGucksLive> packrat: what country are you
[18:14:53] <syyl> but he ascked for a dovetail ;)
[18:14:56] <packrat> US
[18:15:00] <syyl> not very difficult
[18:15:16] <pcw_home> That was clever, our neighbor is having some sewer pipe work and the workers had a backhoe parked in her front yard over the weekend
[18:15:17] <packrat> who said i was a he
[18:15:18] <pcw_home> (which is surrounded by a ~2foot retaining wall which would get damaged if run over so I wondered how they got it in there)
[18:15:19] <syyl> roughing out with a endmill/roughing endmill, finish with a dovetail cutter
[18:15:19] <pcw_home> This morning I saw the driver lift the backhoe tires over the wall with the buckets and gently set it down on the other side!
[18:15:33] <IchGucksLive> syyl: depending on the longness of the parts
[18:15:58] <packrat> lets say 100mm long
[18:16:19] <syyl> i took a guess, packrat ;)
[18:16:28] <packrat> 'sall right
[18:16:30] <packrat> internet and all
[18:16:43] <packrat> anyway, also need an accompanying slot in the face of some mating parts
[18:16:54] <IchGucksLive> i never saw dovetail on a alu construct
[18:17:05] <syyl> but me
[18:17:15] <syyl> on some measuring equipment
[18:17:22] <IchGucksLive> syyl: xou have seen the World B)
[18:17:30] <packrat> t-slot might work, but it would be difficult i think
[18:17:35] <packrat> parts arent that thick
[18:18:08] <IchGucksLive> there a ready made profiles available with 4T-slot on the sites
[18:18:09] <packrat> we're talking maybe 10mm
[18:18:24] <packrat> yeah, i know about 80/20
[18:18:37] <packrat> too bulky and general-purpose for the kind of design im trying for
[18:18:56] <IchGucksLive> 2pinholes and 3 screws got the same effect
[18:19:33] <packrat> eh?
[18:20:28] <IchGucksLive> dovetail is not dismounteble

[18:21:35] <packrat> and obviously i can adjust how tight it fits
[18:21:47] <IchGucksLive> B)
[18:21:53] <IchGucksLive> so go for it
[18:22:02] <packrat> yes
[18:22:03] <packrat> hence
[18:22:20] <syyl> you can even buy ready made dovetail slides out of alumium
[18:22:27] <packrat> why my question was directed towards how difficult it would be to manufacture
[18:22:27] <syyl> no problem with the material
[18:22:35] <syyl> if used in right matter
[18:22:39] <IchGucksLive> rough with a cylindric endmil and then take the woodcutter for the shape
[18:22:45] <packrat> and what sort of price differnce that would be vs tapped holes
[18:23:06] <IchGucksLive> about 10 times
[18:23:21] <packrat> :[
[18:23:41] <packrat> im guessing t-slot style would be easier then?
[18:23:48] <IchGucksLive> 4 prisise shapes with at least 5 cutting cycles verses 2 Drills

[21:02:19] <awallin> lots of coolant, the right speeds and feeds, and no collisions of course...
[21:02:21] <Turtl3boi> i understand that carbide has to be run fast
[21:02:51] <Turtl3boi> i see a lot of ppl saying it's better to run carbide end mills above 5000 rpm
[21:02:59] <awallin> yes, you probably want 6-8krpm if you have 6-10mm tools
[21:03:04] <Turtl3boi> for a 1" or smaller cutter diameter
[21:03:17] <awallin> that sounds right yes

[21:43:21] <archivist> tin is for cans and solder
[21:44:26] <Nick001-Shop> for ears too
[21:44:33] <FinboySlick> archivist: I'm not sure it would last very long as a carbide endmill coating.
[21:45:32] <Turtl3boi> how can silver be used as a brazing material to attach a cutter to a blank
[21:45:48] <archivist> try bending pure tin, it appears ductile while you feel/hear cracking
[21:45:55] <Turtl3boi> how can the silver be strong enough to hold that cutter when machining steel
[21:46:30] <archivist> the area of contact
[21:47:37] <Turtl3boi> but think how ductile silver is!
[21:47:41] <Turtl3boi> you can easily bend a silver spoon
[21:47:54] <Turtl3boi> doesn't make sense to me
[21:48:13] <archivist> the area of the solder will be very large compared to the cutting area
[21:48:35] <Tom_itx> used properly is the key word
[21:48:44] <FinboySlick> Turtl3boi: You can pretty easily bend wood dry glue too. But try to break a couple properly glued 2x4 appart and you're more likely to rip wood off one side.
[21:48:46] <archivist> so the pounds per square inch of load will be less on the solder
[21:48:53] <Nick001-Shop> again - it's alloyed into the brazing rod
[21:48:56] <Tom_itx> you can make a string of glue but it won't hold anything as a string
[21:49:42] <Turtl3boi> i don't think that's the whole story
[21:49:46] <Turtl3boi> but yeah i see what you're saying
[21:49:56] <Tom_itx> it's most of it
[21:50:15] <Turtl3boi> the small contact area of the cutter cutting the steel vs. the large area of the cutter anchored to the blank
[21:50:21] <Tom_itx> low melting point doesn't affect the properties of the other metals
[21:52:21] <Turtl3boi> have you heard of "superlattice"
[21:52:52] <Turtl3boi> when you stack nano sized alternating layers of materials you can get mechanical toughness far superior to either of the bulk materials
[21:53:07] <alex4nder-> : |
[21:53:08] <Turtl3boi> i wonder if that's what's going on when you have silver brazing
[21:53:44] <Turtl3boi> the silver might be a nano sized layer in between the ferrous metals

[22:02:12] <Mjolinor> anyone know why?
[22:02:27] <cradek> check your driver documentation
[22:02:46] <Mjolinor> ok, driver not motor?
[22:03:27] <cradek> yes
[22:03:27] <Mjolinor> there is notign specified int eh motor datasheet, adn the driver datasheet jsut says minimum clock pulse 30 us
[22:03:35] <archivist> motor does what it is told
[22:03:46] <Mjolinor> :) In theory
[22:03:49] <cradek> it's a "feature" of step/dir drivers that they need those delays
[22:04:11] <archivist> specially the dumb ones that reduce the current

[22:11:21] <Mjolinor> they should
[22:11:33] <Mjolinor> I jsut assumed they were a best guess average as as starting point
[22:11:52] <Mjolinor> but htey actually seem to be very much towards the fastest of the pre configured settings in the list

[23:28:10] <Loetmichel> I am "rednecking" again... i was in need of repeatable method of positioning my parts for the second side machining...
[23:29:26] <Loetmichel> ... so i got 2 pieces of wood, 3 sheets of paper as a spacer, glued one board to the fixed part of the vise, then 3 papers, than the oder board.
[23:29:59] <Loetmichel> milled a negative of the workpice in it, got the paper out, voila, a "form vise" ;-)

[23:37:31] <Loetmichel> the paper was 0,3mm spacer for the vice to have something to grip to
[23:37:39] <andypugh> Well, that was frustrating and tedious.
[23:37:40] <Loetmichel> when the form is milled
[23:38:02] <jthornton> what's that Andy?
[23:38:18] <andypugh> It turns out that my spindle encoder was only counting 688 of the 720 slots.
[23:38:45] <andypugh> So, i have been making self-consistent threads, but they don't match anyone else's threads.
[23:38:58] <jthornton> ouch!
[23:39:23] <jthornton> alignment problems?
[23:39:36] <andypugh> So, I have been tweaking sensor-to target spacing, sensor comparator cut-off and sensor-to-sensor spacing.
[23:39:59] <jthornton> aye, I see
[23:40:32] <andypugh> The latter is the problem, I think. The A and B are far enough apart for a slight pitch-error and/or eccentricity to break the quadrature.
[23:41:28] <andypugh> My plan tomorrow is to re-mount them twisted through 90 degrees and right next to each other.
[23:42:18] <Turtl3boi> hi andy
[23:42:36] <Turtl3boi> how do you do your full time job and still have time to do the cnc stuff
[23:42:59] <andypugh> I don't do much sleeping.
[23:44:40] <andypugh> I applied for a job in CNC today though (University Research Fellowship in Precision Machining). Less money, but much nearer my family.
[23:47:03] <Turtl3boi> nice
[23:47:07] <Turtl3boi> money is not everything
[23:47:19] <Turtl3boi> how do you get a fellowship if you're not a student anymore?
[23:47:27] <Tom_itx> andypugh, homebrew encoder?
[23:47:59] <andypugh> Tom_itx: Yes. I am sure it used to work fine, but perhaps not...
[23:48:26] <Tom_itx> did the alignment change?
[23:49:21] <andypugh> Turtl3boi: You apply, it's a job. The want a PhD and post-doctoral experience, it's hard to be a student at that point, you run out of qualifications to go for. :-)

[23:49:55] <Tom_itx> andypugh what do they do there?
[23:49:58] <andypugh> Tom_itx: Yes, probably when I changed the spindle bearings things settled in new locations.
[23:50:05] <Tom_itx> ahh
[23:50:51] <andypugh> Turtl3boi: Here's the job..
