[03:40:13] <L84Supper> what are you working on with the plastics?
[03:41:21] <FinboySlick> Replacing a cheapo flowmeter inpeller. It had poor design that caused it to oscillate on its axis and eventually end up with worn out oval holes on the shaft.
[03:42:46] <FinboySlick> Hopefully it'll be less likely to wear out (this is very slippery, whatever plastic it is) and seems a bit more bouncy so hopefully won't impact-wear.
[03:43:33] <FinboySlick> And if it's just as bad, at least it's a three step cnc program to make more.

[07:49:12] <archivist> it does amuse one that americans think they are centre of the universe
[07:50:29] <archivist> aluminium is best machined with cutter profile ground for aluminium and the right lubrication
[07:52:14] <archivist> there are a number of online calculators for speeds and feeds

[09:03:02] <Loetmichel> mornin
[09:03:09] <archivist> skorket, there is generally no one answer, but the chip cut per tooth at an rpm gives you the feed rate
[09:05:03] <archivist> skorket, the Sandvik data book on cutting(pdf on their site) gives some real world examples but are generally at the top end that amateurs can achieve
[09:06:45] <archivist> also learn about "built up edge" the metal sticks to the cutter causing finish and dimension problems, lubrication helps as does cutter form
[09:07:45] <archivist> climb milling being best but is your machine good enough for climb milling
[09:09:31] <archivist> one gains experience on ones machines and you will find different alloys machine differently, hard v soft pure aluminium
[09:15:19] <archivist> and the other thing to take into account is the work piece and its clamping, light v heavy cuts, once you have a few escape and break cutter you will learn the importance of good clamping
[09:26:17] * Jymmm is lucky enugh to have only broke one tool
[09:27:01] <Jymmm> Note to self: Verify that when you hit the home button, that it actually homes.

[11:41:27] <archivist> jthornton, or 20lbs of work thrown off the horizontal when cutting forces eventually vibrate the work loose and the cutter grabs it and throws it
[11:42:00] <archivist> I wonder if that is why the spindle is not exactly straight :)
[11:42:37] <jthornton> my favorite is a bit smaller when a parallel shoots out of the vise when you drill too close to it
[11:44:04] <archivist> I was just using the horizontal as a saw :)
[11:45:33] <archivist> because the metal was bent I had it up on blocks and very long bolts and the table is nver wide enough to clamp properly is it !
[11:47:07] <jthornton> that sounds exciting
[11:50:38] <archivist> milling sheet and cutter rake lifting it up

[13:30:57] <gmagno> Good afternoon
[13:34:20] <gmagno> I'm trying to understand the concept of roughing offset in "image_to_gcode" but I'm not sure I undertsand it. You guys have a different (from
http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/2.4/html/gui_image-to-gcode.html#r1_4_19) way of defining it?
[13:36:06] -!- mhaberler [mhaberler!~mhaberler@macbook.stiwoll.mah.priv.at] has joined #linuxcnc
[13:42:33] <r00t4rd3d> its how close it will cut to the final part
[13:44:07] <r00t4rd3d> a roughing pass is what you do before a finish pass
[13:45:23] <r00t4rd3d> so if your roughing offset is 0.1 it will only cut to within 0.1 of your finish pass
[13:47:54] -!- emel has quit [Excess Flood]
[13:50:18] <gmagno> r00t4rd3d, so, if I choose a roughing offset of 0.0, the last pass should be at the exact depth parameter, right?
[13:51:59] <r00t4rd3d> you dont want to use 0.0 or your finish pass will have nothing to cut
[13:53:01] <gmagno> if I choose a roughing pass of 0.1, a max depth of 1.0, and a roughing offset of 0.0, it should do 10 passes, right?
[13:53:55] <r00t4rd3d> for one line
[13:54:09] <gmagno> for one line?
[13:54:15] <gmagno> what do you mean
[13:54:54] <r00t4rd3d> yeah it would do ten passes at 0.1inch
[13:55:33] <r00t4rd3d> err wait
[13:55:39] <r00t4rd3d> 0.1 is inches
[13:55:46] <gmagno> but is there anything I'm missing? Because I would only need two parameters for this, roughing pass and max depth
[13:55:47] <r00t4rd3d> so how many ever 0.1 = an inch
[13:56:24] <r00t4rd3d> ten 0.1 doesnt equal and inch , 1.0

[13:57:07] <r00t4rd3d> s/and/an
[13:58:49] <gmagno> r00t4rd3d, how come 10x0.1 != 1 ??
[13:59:14] <r00t4rd3d> cause its measurement, not counting
[14:00:38] <gmagno> ok, there must be something really fundamental that I'm missing here, because I'm completely lost (OR you don't know what you're saying :P)
[14:00:48] <r00t4rd3d> that may be true
[14:00:55] <gmagno> which one? :D
[14:01:24] <gmagno> ok, let's thing together
[14:01:28] <gmagno> think*
[14:02:52] <r00t4rd3d> does 10 passes at 0.1inch equal 1.0inch ?
[14:02:54] <r00t4rd3d> who knows
[14:02:57] <r00t4rd3d> i dont think so
[14:03:51] <r00t4rd3d> maybe it does, try it
[14:03:57] <gmagno> wait
[14:04:09] <gmagno> what does 1 pass of 0.1inch equals to?
[14:04:17] <gmagno> 0.1, right?

[16:29:36] <skorket> I'm trying to figure out how to cut aluminum, and if it's even possible on my machine. Could someone give me a suggestion as to what bit to use and what feed rate to use if I have an 8000 RPM spindle?
[16:31:40] <JT-Shop> what kind of machine?
[16:32:21] <skorket> it's a 7"x7" kit from zen toolworks. It's made out of PVC
[16:33:08] <skunkworks__> heh'
[16:33:10] <skunkworks__> sorry
[16:33:17] <JT-Shop> what size end mill?
[16:33:28] <skunkworks__> high rpm - small mill - slow feed - lots of coolant.
[16:34:01] <JT-Shop> and how many flutes?
[16:34:06] <JT-Shop> hi Sam
[16:34:34] <skorket> The spindle takes a 1/8" shank, but other than that, I'm open to suggestions.
[16:34:57] <JT-Shop> are you wanting to engrave or mill out a pocket or what?
[16:35:08] <skorket> mill out a pocket
[16:35:24] <skunkworks__> Hi john
[16:35:43] <cradek> I'd have to go with not possible
[16:35:57] <skunkworks__> Chris!
[16:36:03] <cradek> uh-oh
[16:36:10] <skorket> cradek, I've heard that around, why do you say that?
[16:36:43] <cradek> it's made out of pvc
[16:37:31] <skorket> if you go slow, with a small mill, you still wouldn't be able to mill out something?
[16:37:44] <skorket> skunkworks__, do you have a suggestion as to the bit size and speed?
[16:38:15] <skunkworks__> not really - I have never tried on something that flimsy
[16:38:20] <JT-Shop> if you just want to find out for a 1/8" 2 flute carbide end mill at 8k rpm go 15IPM or so
[16:38:55] <skunkworks__> cradek: did jepler try to cut anything aluminum on his?
[16:39:02] <skunkworks__> On his zenbot
[16:39:14] <JT-Shop> skorket:
http://www.lakeshorecarbide.com/18variable2fluteendmillforaluminumzrn.aspx
[16:39:21] <skunkworks__> That is a bit stiffer...
[16:39:29] <cradek> skunkworks__: no, that'd be crazy
[16:39:55] <cradek> fortunately carbide bits that small don't cost much. I recommend getting about 10 of them
[16:40:04] <JT-Shop> skorket: you can't go slow or the alum will generate enough heat to weld to the end mill
[16:40:09] <JT-Shop> LOL
[16:40:20] <skunkworks__> well - that is why I say lots of coolant...
[16:40:26] <skorket> JT-Shop, yeah, 15 ipm is really fast
[16:40:29] <cradek> 10 is probably enough to get you through to the end of the experiment :-)
[16:40:40] <JT-Shop> not for 8k rpm
[16:40:58] <skorket> JT-Shop, may I ask how you came up with those numbers?
[16:41:12] <JT-Shop> my feed and speed charts
[16:41:30] <JT-Shop> they are on the link as well
[16:42:12] <JT-Shop> I also have a spreadsheet to convert sfm diameter and # of flutes to rpm and ipm
[16:42:52] <skorket> and the general rule of thumb is to go as deep as half of the bit diameter? In this case, take of 1/16" of an inch at a time?
[16:43:02] <JT-Shop> actually that 1/8" bit should be going 53k rpm and 100 IPM
[16:43:15] <skunkworks__> wouldn't that be nice..
[16:43:24] <skunkworks__> JT-Shop: how is the converting going?
[16:43:42] <JT-Shop> hooking up the relays if I had some
[16:43:54] <JT-Shop> limits and inputs done
[16:44:03] * skunkworks__ likes opto22 stuff
[16:44:04] <JT-Shop> MPG next I think
[16:44:59] <JT-Shop> I have one SSR for the power supply to the drives and the rest are tiny relays for case fan, lube pump, drive enable
[16:46:58] <skorket> JT-Shop, so should I not even try the 1/8" bit at 8k rpm and 15 ipm?
[16:47:51] <JT-Shop> I cut with an 1/8" bit at what ever rpm the machine can muster and adjust the feed to get the proper chip load
[16:48:17] <r00t4rd3d> i used 1/8 bit at 12k rpm and 12ipm :D
[16:48:25] <r00t4rd3d> used/use
[16:48:35] <skorket> and 15 ipm is fast enough?
[16:48:38] <jdh> with a less rigid machine, you might not be able meet the chip load spec
[16:48:52] <JT-Shop> fast enough for what?
[16:49:29] <skorket> to mill out material or to not weld the bit to the material...
[16:49:52] <skorket> What if I use a maller bit, 1/16" say?
[16:50:04] <archivist> skorket, now I know the machine is flimsy, conventional milling ONLY
[16:50:22] <skorket> archivist, aluminum is non convential?
[16:50:32] <skorket> *conventional
[16:51:06] <archivist> climb milling gets a better finish, you machine cannot manage that
[16:51:34] <skorket> ok
[16:52:14] <archivist> you will be breaking bits till you learn how little you can cut per pass

[19:52:32] <archivist> some have a balance weight to reduce Z load
[19:52:39] <archivist> or spring
[19:55:10] <tjb1> Its not a load the motor will see, this is the entire z axis
[19:55:25] <tjb1> It bolts to 2 carriages on the gantry
[19:55:49] -!- gmagno has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
[19:56:21] <archivist> the Z motor sees the spindle motor assembly weight
[19:57:21] <tjb1> No...my z motor is bolted to an extrusion...this whole assembly tgat bolts to the gantry weighs 20lbs
[19:58:07] <archivist> X or Y see the carriage (including Z) mass
[19:58:07] <tjb1> Im not concerned with the z motor liad
[19:58:07] <tjb1> Load
[19:58:07] -!- micges has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[19:58:14] <tjb1> Id like to know if this is too much for the y motor
[19:58:17] <JT-Shop> yea! MPG done
[19:58:25] <tjb1> 3:1 r&p drive on y
[19:58:29] <archivist> but..only 20lbs
[19:58:48] <tjb1> So its not too much?
[20:01:58] <JT-Shop> what is axis.n.wheel-jog-active?
[20:02:08] <JT-Shop> it's not in the manual :(
[20:02:58] <JT-Shop> oh, it's listed as a debugging pin with no description
[20:03:21] <jp__> i think for individual axis jog wheels or mpg's
[20:03:32] <jp__> it's a readback right
[20:04:04] <archivist> on off to light an led?
[20:05:16] <jp__> Thinks it's time to mount the extruder and lit it rip!!!
[20:05:52] <skunkworks__> Video!!
[20:06:12] <jp__> let me get thru my first real run!!!
[20:06:30] <jp__> still lots of time to crash stuff!! lol
[20:07:01] <jp__> The steppers sound cool kinda musical
[20:07:52] <JT-Shop> it is an out pin
[20:09:16] <jp__> yeah lets you know that that axis is in jog mode right?
[20:09:47] <jp__> i think i used it when i was working on my teensys pendant
[20:11:47] <JT-Shop> you mean jog-enable?
[20:12:39] <JT-Shop> nope not that
[20:13:58] <JT-Shop> maybe it is on when your jogging with the remote device
[20:16:48] <jp__> i can check on my mill if you want
[20:17:33] <JT-Shop> naw it's ok
[20:18:04] <jp__> just did that is it
[20:18:20] <jp__> when ever i trn my mpg it is on
[20:18:50] <jp__> i was using it anyways to drillmy extruder mount
[20:19:01] <JT-Shop> ok, cool

[20:31:03] <FinboySlick> Hmmm, can I set acceleration on the spindle itself so that the machine would wait until my spindle has spun up to starts cutting. I add a dwell at the top of all my gcode in the meantime but it'd be cool to have EMC figure that one out.
[20:31:25] <JT-Shop> spindle-at-speed or something like that
[20:34:13] <JT-Shop> http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/axis.9.html
[20:34:24] <FinboySlick> Hmmm, that requires an encoder though, no?
[20:37:06] <JT-Shop> it is a bit
[20:37:50] <JT-Shop> do you control your spindle with linuxcnc
[20:38:01] <FinboySlick> Just 0-10v pwm.
[20:38:20] <FinboySlick> I don't think the VFD outputs an RPM feedback.
[20:38:37] <JT-Shop> does it have an at speed output?
[20:38:48] <FinboySlick> It is full of chinese symbols ;) I wouldn't know even if it did.
[20:39:30] <JT-Shop> like Werner Von Braun "and I'm learning how to count down in Chinese"
[20:39:33] <FinboySlick> The mill as it is now doesn't seem to provide an 'at speed' output, but maybe the VFD does.
[20:40:06] <JT-Shop> if you can bring the at speed into the motion.spindle-at-speed your good to go

[20:43:21] <FinboySlick> It has an LED display that outputs stuff so there's got to be some sort of feedback.

[22:30:22] <Aero-Tec> got a question
[22:30:34] <Aero-Tec> I have a file loaded and wanted to edit it
[22:30:41] <Aero-Tec> hit the edit
[22:30:52] <Aero-Tec> the file opened in the editor
[22:31:04] <Aero-Tec> problem is I can not edit it at all
[22:31:08] <Aero-Tec> nothing
[22:31:13] -!- pjm__ has quit [Read error: No route to host]
[22:31:19] <Tom_itx> rights?
[22:31:30] -!- pjm__ [pjm__!~pjm@109.104.96.45] has joined #linuxcnc
[22:31:31] <r00t4rd3d> or in use
[22:31:33] <FinboySlick> Meaning that the editor doesn't get launched? Or you can't save?
[22:31:47] <r00t4rd3d> read only flag
[22:32:02] <Aero-Tec> I can select where to do a edit but the editor will not allow any key stokes
[22:32:26] <r00t4rd3d> right click the file and see what the permissions are
[22:32:35] <r00t4rd3d> well right click, properties
[22:32:37] <FinboySlick> Aero-Tec: That does sound like a permission issue or it being already opened.
[22:32:48] <Aero-Tec> if it was a file usage or premissions problem it should not load or save
[22:33:12] <Aero-Tec> it was opened on a network computer
[22:33:48] <Aero-Tec> but closed the file on the network computer and it still would not let a edit happen
[22:34:40] <Aero-Tec> maybe I need to reload it in EMC for it to work
[22:35:01] <pcw_home> Most editors will open a read only files, but prevent any changes (and remind you of this by beeping if you type)
[22:35:23] <Aero-Tec> if it was a permisions problem, why would the editor not allow any input?
[22:36:01] <pcw_home> because the file is read only so any input would be lost
[22:36:09] <Aero-Tec> no speakers on computer, but should still have the mother board beeper
[22:36:52] <Aero-Tec> ok
[22:36:54] <FinboySlick> Aero-Tec: A lot of desktop environments redirect that signal to the soundcard.
[22:36:58] <Aero-Tec> thanks for the input
[22:36:58] <pcw_home> usually theres so notifier on the editor (read only file) or some such
[22:37:36] <pcw_home> theres a notifier
[22:38:20] <Aero-Tec> it does have a built in sound card
[22:40:59] <JT-Shop> Aero-Tec: this in Ubuntu?
[22:43:16] <pcw_home> If it has a sound card beeps will be re-directed there for sure
