[00:09:36] <andypugh> I like reamers. Which reminds me, I need one.
[00:12:40] -!- schwinn434 has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds]
[00:15:17] <JT-Shop> reamers are fun and entertaining
[00:18:46] <andypugh> I just eBayed a 3.02mm one.
[00:27:20] <Tom_itx> i generally get mine from my local surplus tool guy and mic em
[00:27:37] <Tom_itx> for like a buck or so a piece
[00:28:11] <Tom_itx> occasionally i'll grab a new one from him
[00:28:41] <toastydeath> we always drilled a hole and reamed it, then measured the hole
[00:28:43] <toastydeath> they never cut on size
[00:28:57] <Tom_itx> ok here's one...
[00:29:13] <Tom_itx> what do most of you suggest for the proper cutting removal for a reamer?
[00:29:25] <toastydeath> ?
[00:29:26] <Tom_itx> i say around .005" or so
[00:29:35] <toastydeath> whatever you pick, make it constant
[00:29:43] <toastydeath> consistency is more important than actual material condition
[00:29:46] <Tom_itx> how undersize should the drill be..
[00:30:04] <toastydeath> 5-15 thou on the diameter
[00:30:07] <JT-Shop> I usually use a 64th under the reamer for general work
[00:30:20] <toastydeath> any more and it starts to become even more variant
[00:30:24] <Tom_itx> i'm with toastydeath
[00:30:42] <Tom_itx> if i don't have a drill i'll push it to maybe .015 or .020"
[00:30:52] <toastydeath> well, JT-Shop's right because it's one drill size
[00:30:56] <toastydeath> and that's consistent
[00:30:59] <toastydeath> it's about .015
[00:31:21] <toastydeath> as long as he sticks to that, all reamed holes will pretty much come out the same size every time
[00:32:04] <Tom_itx> ok next one...
[00:32:21] <Tom_itx> can you get a more accurate hole with a reamer or a boring bar?
[00:32:26] <toastydeath> boring bar
[00:33:01] <JT-Shop> http://imagebin.org/240158
[00:33:06] <Tom_itx> we used one of those with the builtin mic
[00:34:14] <andypugh> I think these are possibly the best of all:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Floating-Reamer-David-brown-adjustable-type-/271125219084?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item3f2052870c
[00:35:12] <Tom_itx> that looks more like a hone
[00:35:15] <toastydeath> outside a jig grinder, there isn't a more accurate way to get a hole
[00:35:24] <toastydeath> than a boring bar
[00:35:46] <toastydeath> edm's pretty close though
[00:36:11] <andypugh> toastydeath: I think a floating reamer might. They have a lot in common with a boring bar, but self-guide in the hole, so are not affected by machine deflection.
[00:36:24] <Tom_itx> one more...
[00:36:42] <toastydeath> self-guiding tools produce an accurate diameter but not a geometrically sound hole
[00:36:45] <JT-Shop> I would have assumed 3 blades not 2
[00:36:48] <Tom_itx> what's a good slip fit for say umm.. a die pin and it's mating part?
[00:37:04] <toastydeath> if you mic a hole from a tool like a floating reamer or a burnisher, it comes out on size
[00:37:04] <JT-Shop> depends on diameter and lenght
[00:37:21] <toastydeath> if you then put it on a cylindrical measuring machine, it looks like crap
[00:37:22] <Tom_itx> just general questions for discussion is all
[00:37:36] <andypugh> toastydeath: A boring bar often won't make a round hole, as there is generally more X deflection than Y deflection on a typical machine.
[00:37:39] <Tom_itx> toastydeath yeah you'd think it was chewed out

[00:38:06] <toastydeath> if you're rough boring, that's true
[00:38:28] <toastydeath> if you're taking a finish pass, the error is only going to be large on truly horrible machines
[00:38:34] <andypugh> I guess if you tighten the clamps that is less of an issue.
[00:38:50] <toastydeath> or, in the case of loose clamps, poor machining practice
[00:39:15] <toastydeath> high precision boring equipment is usually pretty flimsy, it just holds position well
[00:39:44] <andypugh> I have a bot of a boring-bar fetish:
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/zAh6K3E0uRG9Uhj9WWvqG9MTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink
[00:39:50] <Tom_itx> we used those mic style on some ~2-3" holes in Ti +.0005 -.0000
[00:40:20] <toastydeath> nice, are those wohlhaupter bars
[00:40:24] <andypugh> Yes.
[00:40:26] <Tom_itx> then after they were finished were tossed in a wire basket and forked with a forklift
[00:40:45] <Tom_itx> they tried to blame us when they didn't fit
[00:41:06] <toastydeath> Komet is another really awesome boring bar brand, if you ever see one
[00:41:20] <toastydeath> they're a more modular system
[00:41:28] <toastydeath> but still extremely accurate
[00:41:41] <Tom_itx> http://clearwateren.com/gallery.php
[00:41:50] <Tom_itx> the 3rd over part in the Ti/Steel section
[00:41:53] <andypugh> I have a really chunky one that takes the cartridges, but nothing to drive it with.
[00:42:17] <Tom_itx> the end holes were just for lightening
[00:42:23] <Tom_itx> but were probably 6" deep or so
[00:42:39] <Tom_itx> at least on the long end
[00:43:04] <toastydeath> somebody should build a contouring boring head and a machine to run it
[00:43:20] <andypugh> There ought to be a way to investment cast a lot of that sort of stuff.
[00:43:30] <toastydeath> you could probably build one for a cnc'ed bridgeport
[00:43:45] <andypugh> toastydeath: You mean like a motorised Wohlhapupter?
[00:44:13] <toastydeath> sort of - instead of the bar being moved by an external ring, there is a shaft on the inside
[00:44:19] <toastydeath> and as the Z axis moves in and out
[00:44:25] -!- mhaberler has quit [Quit: mhaberler]
[00:44:27] <toastydeath> it pushes a wedge to drive the boring head in and out
[00:44:44] <andypugh> Watch this space.
[00:44:47] <toastydeath> and then you use the knee/whatever to actually drive it axially
[00:44:55] <toastydeath> big ass boring mills use them all the time
[00:45:12] <toastydeath> since a lot of them have a dual z axis configuration
[00:45:49] <Tom_itx> andypugh, grain direction was critical on those. they supplied us forgings
[00:46:11] <dr00bie> what cam software do you guys use with linuxcnc? Got the horse before the cart and got my cnc built, but now am stuggling with cam software...
[00:46:11] <Tom_itx> the first 6 off were from solid billet
[00:46:27] <JT-Shop> dr00bie: I use gedit
[00:46:29] <andypugh> Tom_itx: Well, forgins are OK too. But a lot of that sort of stuff is made from lumps, isn't it?
[00:46:45] <Tom_itx> i'm not sure how they did those
[00:46:46] <JT-Shop> and ngcgui
[00:47:24] <andypugh> dr00bie: Welcome to the club. There isn't really a properly good CAM system out there.
[00:47:42] <andypugh> Or, not that I know of.

[00:48:35] <andypugh> I don't know that the status of HeeksCNC is at the moment.
[00:48:40] <dr00bie> I tried like hell to get heekscad/cnc on mine, but can't seem to get it done. Guess I need to get a Windows VM together and get it done that way...
[00:49:04] <andypugh> Is there any CAM in FreeCAD?
[00:49:21] <toastydeath> not that i can see
[00:49:32] <toastydeath> i played with it for awhile and jesus christ is it bad
[00:49:37] <andypugh> SheetCAM works OK for 2D and 2.5D
[00:49:51] <toastydeath> you're better off using librecad and just directly making your drawings
[00:50:07] <andypugh> Depends if your end-point is drawings or not.
[00:50:16] -!- Keknom [Keknom!~monkeky@c-76-125-214-194.hsd1.pa.comcast.net] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:50:23] <dr00bie> pycam is an option too, but I fail to understand it as well... my complete ignorance on CAD/CAM is not helping me atm, but there is no better place for me to start...
[00:50:34] <toastydeath> it better be, because doing anything with freecad is painful
[00:50:56] <Tom_itx> there's a learning curve on any cad cam package
[00:50:58] <tjb1> SheetCAM is easy to use for plasma, never tried any router/mill type stuff with it
[00:51:14] <andypugh> I found FreeCAD to be OK, but not as slick as Alibre which is not as slick as Inventor.
[00:51:25] <toastydeath> i've used quite a few cad/cam packages, freecam is objectively bad
[00:51:55] <JT-Shop> OneCNC works for the most part but is annoying to use
[00:51:56] <andypugh> But I use 3D CAD to design stuff, not to make drawings. I can't see stuff like this:
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/X9ZXwL-oMXpF9cc6wAIbQNMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink well enough in 2D.
[00:52:45] <toastydeath> please tell me you didn't make that in freecad
[00:52:47] <tjb1> andypugh: Is that the same thing you had a huge picture of on here not too long ago?
[00:52:48] <andypugh> What is _very_ slick and zero-cost is Inventor Fusion. Windows and Mac only I think.
[00:53:03] <andypugh> No, That was done in Inventor.
[00:53:03] <tjb1> That looks like solidworks
[00:53:04] <toastydeath> because i'd rather hit myself in the knee with a ball peen hammer than try to model that
[00:53:07] <toastydeath> in freecad
[00:53:15] <Tom_itx> andypugh visually i agree but a 2.5d package would cut that
[00:53:34] <Tom_itx> unless the bottom is lofted
[00:54:12] <andypugh> It's all parametric and interlocking. Based around a sketch which fixes the drive belt length.
[00:54:21] <dr00bie> andypugh: i think i heard something about the free version, i've been off windows for a while now... does inventor fusion output gcode?
[00:54:35] <toastydeath> freecam isn't parametric
[00:54:38] <toastydeath> just fyi
[00:55:10] <toastydeath> it's like old school autocad 3d, where everything was a fixed point without constraints
[00:56:01] <toastydeath> try it out, it's hilarious
[00:56:10] <andypugh> No, In fact it _only_ saves as Inventor Parts, and exports SAT and STL
[00:56:25] <andypugh> I thought that FreeCAD was meant to be Parametric?
[00:56:46] <JT-Shop> I need 3-
[00:56:51] <toastydeath> roadmaps aren't what they've actually done
[00:56:55] <JT-Shop> D cad for my machines
http://imagebin.org/240162
[00:57:02] <andypugh> dr00bie: Bit from SAT and STL you can go into PyCAM I think.
[00:57:23] <toastydeath> they may do it parametrically in terms of math, but none of the modeling features you'd expect are there
[00:57:29] <toastydeath> from a parametric package
[00:57:49] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop, that's inaccurate
[00:57:55] <Tom_itx> where are the 'feet' on them?
[00:58:03] <andypugh> Attempting a Freeware CAD package is rather ambitious, I reckon.
[00:58:17] <toastydeath> it's balls ambitious, i'm really impressed with what they have so far
[00:58:19] <toastydeath> it's just not usable
[00:58:26] <JT-Shop> I don't put "feet" on customers machines just my own
[00:58:33] <toastydeath> if you REALLY NEED a mesh and don't want to deal with something like BRL-CAD
[00:58:51] <toastydeath> i could see using it for some kind of open source mesh generation
[00:59:18] <Tom_itx> ahh i thought that was one of your toys
[00:59:44] <JT-Shop> no, it assembles the blower housing on a lawnmower engine
[00:59:51] <JT-Shop> well attaches it
[01:00:12] <andypugh> Things I like about FreeCAD. 1) It runs on a MAC. But then so does Fusion, and Fusion has an interface I understand. (Howver, that is even less parametric than FreeCAD, very much aimed at push-pulll direct modelling.
[01:00:29] -!- Nick001-Shop has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[01:01:55] <andypugh> Well, I just decided to prove that FreeCAD can design stuff, but as I closed the first poly-line, it crashed out.

[01:03:01] <andypugh> Anyway, Inventor Fusion is well worth a look if you have Windows or Mac.
http://labs.autodesk.com/technologies/fusion
[01:03:56] <andypugh> It's amazingly slick on my Mac, no deiscernable UI delays.
[01:05:26] <andypugh> However, is it no help for dr00bie Who wanted CAM, not CAD as far as I cam make out.
[01:05:37] <JT-Shop> say goodnight Gracie
[01:05:40] <toastydeath> the only real cam system is your keyboard and emacs/vim
[01:05:53] <toastydeath> there used to be an APT project, i wonder what the status on that is
[01:06:06] <toastydeath> that's as close to cam as you're really going to get at the moment
[01:06:34] <andypugh> I can see Fusion + PyCAM being a workable toolchain on Mac.
[01:07:38] <toastydeath> never seen pycam, checking it out

[08:08:25] <Loetmichel> mornin'
[08:09:34] <Valen> heres a question, RTai is nifty and all, and made mucho sense on single core machines, quad cores are cheap these days, I wonder if "latency" could be improved by isocpuing 3 of the cores and just have a simple wait loop on the timers
[08:11:12] <archivist> Valen, are you watching the dev mailing list
[08:15:01] <Valen> no, did i invent something too late again?
[08:15:21] <archivist> possibly

[08:16:11] <Valen> archivist: is the list online somewhere?
[08:16:26] <Valen> I was mainly thinking I want to run my servo loops really fast for mesa hardware
[08:16:41] <archivist> yes I was just trying to find a starting point
[08:17:51] <archivist> sourceforge has a terrible interface to the mail archive
[08:18:00] <archivist> http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=emc-developers&max_rows=25&style=ultimate&viewmonth=201211
[08:18:46] <Valen> what should i be looking for in there?
[08:18:47] <archivist> last three or four months, look at what mhaberler has been trying

[08:20:51] <archivist> mhaberler, I have a feeling some of your experiments may prove very fruitful
[08:21:04] -!- archivist_herron [archivist_herron!~herron@80.175.14.110] has joined #linuxcnc
[08:21:18] <mhaberler> I have the feeling they might prove a bit support-intensive ;)
[08:21:26] <Valen> I was thinking about replacing RTai with a multi core cpu, isocpu and a spinlock
[08:21:55] <archivist> I am watching and keeping quiet :)
[08:22:17] <mhaberler> so how do you assure your core is scheduled properly
[08:22:30] <Valen> isocpu, nothing else runs on it
[08:22:37] -!- automata__ has quit [Ping timeout: 265 seconds]
[08:23:02] <archivist> considering a hardware interrupt did something elsewhere on another core
[08:23:09] <mhaberler> well fine, but you still have to deal with a capricious scheduler underneath
[08:23:15] <Valen> I know practically nothing about the underlying gotchas, I was just thinking times have changed somewhat since RTai came about
[08:23:47] <Valen> but if its isocpued then the linux scheduler should leave that core totally alone is my understanding?
[08:24:03] <mhaberler> there is one trick in the bag which hasnt been tried in LinuxCNC but 'said to work' at least per xenomai mailing list
[08:24:22] <mhaberler> 'leaving alone' doesnt necessarily translate into 'schedule in time'
[08:24:41] <Valen> Thats what I'm not understanding
[08:24:51] <Valen> http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/linux_kernel/kernel_configuration/re46.html
[08:25:05] <Valen> Remove the specified CPUs, as defined by the cpu_number values, from the general kernel SMP balancing and scheduler algroithms.
[08:25:31] <mhaberler> well go ahead, do that and plot a delay spectrum from such a isolcpus thread
[08:25:54] <Valen> this is where it goes over my head ;->
[08:26:30] <mhaberler> nah, a simple test is worth more than musings
[08:26:52] <Valen> simple test is still over my head ;->
[08:26:57] * Valen is a python weenie
[08:27:04] <Valen> real time means less than half a second ;->
[08:27:15] <mhaberler> right… pedestrian motion
[08:27:23] <Valen> or getting 40FPS in a game is good enough
[08:27:33] <mhaberler> what you could try:
[08:28:04] <Valen> hmm, my mobile phone is getting kicked from linuxcnc saying "invite only #"
[08:28:06] <mhaberler> read the shackleford/proctor paper on jitter - the summary gives a hint
[08:28:24] -!- Valen00 [Valen00!~AndChat57@c122-108-45-139.blktn6.nsw.optusnet.com.au] has joined #linuxcnc
[08:28:26] <mhaberler> the idea is basically this - trade CPU cycles against jitetr
[08:28:30] <mhaberler> jitter
[08:28:37] <Valen00> Works now
[08:28:50] <mhaberler> schedule the thread a bit early, and busy-wait until the release point has come
[08:29:12] <Valen> That always seemed obvious to me I just kinda presumed it would be done that way
[08:29:20] <mhaberler> it would be quite simple to do in threads/hal/rtapi/motion
[08:29:30] -!- vladimirek [vladimirek!~vladimire@95.105.250.72] has joined #linuxcnc
[08:29:31] <Valen> but again i spose different era's had different requirements
[08:29:37] <mhaberler> no, it relies on OS timers for the release point
[08:30:14] <Valen> it doesn't use timed interrupts?
[08:30:27] <Valen> as in tell the CPU when you want to be woken up?
[08:30:28] <archivist> seeing the release point is where dma and interrupt holding the bus get in the way
[08:30:29] <mhaberler> interrupts are pretty much unused in Linuxcnc
[08:30:51] <Valen> I figured you would just spin on the HPET timer or something along those lines
[08:30:54] <mhaberler> it's a polling affair except for the thread functions, which use OS timers
[08:31:17] <mhaberler> well right, the 'schedule early' trick would in effect do that
[08:31:24] <mhaberler> outline: add a early=x (ns) param to threads and motion
[08:31:45] <Valen> this one I understand ;->
[08:31:48] <mhaberler> set timer to period-early and pass that down to hal/rtapi threads
[08:32:02] <mhaberler> loop after timer release until exact period
[08:32:10] <Valen> actually you don't even need to call early
[08:32:16] <Valen> perhaps
[08:32:34] <Valen> call "on time" then busywait to some defined "late" interval
[08:32:43] <Valen> might reduce the code changes
[08:32:48] <mhaberler> what would that buy you?
[08:32:56] -!- yuvipanda_ has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[08:33:15] <mhaberler> same effort but delay incurred imo
[08:33:40] <Valen> is it a delay though?
[08:34:06] <Valen> hmm I spose it could be
[08:34:14] <mhaberler> what you want is isochronous behaviour, not exactly late by some fixed amount of time
[08:34:31] <Valen> you shouldn't be late by a fixed amount of time
[08:34:38] <Valen> i'm saying leave all the trigger stuff as it is
[08:34:57] <Valen> but then busywait on the hpet or whatever until you are at a defined point
[08:35:04] <mhaberler> let us stand back for a moment: the more interesting question IMO is: why is this so terribly important?
[08:35:44] -!- racycle has quit [Quit: racycle]
[08:35:47] <Valen> My actual goal was to run the servo thread in the 10's of khz range to improve the performance of voltage controlled devices
[08:35:51] <Valen> (think mesa hardware)
[08:36:05] <Valen> also for higher speed things
[08:36:38] <mhaberler> you sure are aware of the sampling theorem - how fast is the underlying hardware?
[08:36:53] <Valen> "fast enough" ;->
[08:37:08] -!- emel has quit [Excess Flood]
[08:37:46] <Valen> I figured just having one process running the servo thread with busy waits in the "down time" would nerf latency issues and let me use a high speed processor without jitter causing weird timing errors in the PID loops
[08:37:51] <mhaberler> well if the hw has a say a -3db cutoff at 100Hz 50kHz servo period are a very interesting academic experiment to verify that it doesnt matter
[08:38:05] <Valen> by 10's I meant literally 10-20khz
[08:38:31] <mhaberler> let me refocus this a bit
[08:39:07] <Valen> If you look at some of the laser machines in raster mode their controllers must be running fairly quick (although I imagine they cheat and vary the laser to track the position rather than controlling the laser position well)
[08:39:23] <mhaberler> for my part I care exactly zilch about 'weird timings', I care about path quality - and that we have no measure for
[08:39:58] <Valen> What i meant by weird timing was running a PID loop with a varying time base is generally regarded as a "bad thing" yes?
[08:40:23] <mhaberler> I understand the PID loop is one part where timing really matters, yes
[08:40:34] <mhaberler> most of tp could care less
[08:40:42] <Valen> that's really the only part I'm looking at
[08:40:50] <mhaberler> so pid loops
[08:40:52] <archivist> knowing the time and the error means you can make a better error calculation
[08:41:15] <mhaberler> (oh, anybody looking into the ferror problem btw?)
[08:41:30] <mhaberler> ferror being calculated on last, not current commanded pos?
[08:41:31] <Valen> with the mesa hardware its voltage controlled, so some of the nice things you get from having an external controller turning that into torque go away
[08:42:01] <Valen> My understanding is that many of the off the shelf "controllers" run PID loops in the khz range
[08:42:09] <Valen> (newer ones)
[08:42:46] <mhaberler> right, but that's pushing the limits of rtapi/hal a bit and you tradeoff performance against config flexibility
[08:43:02] <Valen> bandwidth reduction, I've heated my dinner twice now lol going to TV and food and IRC ;->
[08:43:06] <mhaberler> there's an interesting paper on that issue, need to dig that out
[08:43:41] <mhaberler> about numerical stability, servo thread speed requirements etc

[08:51:32] <mhaberler> not sure this will hunt.. you recorder error of a stochastic process, and add that in as a correction in the next stochastic process?

[09:41:47] <mhaberler> maybe you should validate your theory about ability to correct errors by plotting piderror over several runs and see if there is any similarity in the error curves - I guess you will see mostly uncorrelated noise
[09:47:22] <archivist> one would have to average the noise out to see mechanical friction and cutting load etc
[09:50:25] <Valen> a low pass filter would be required thats for sure

[15:20:09] <TekniQue> heh I've never seen a toolchanger on the tailstock of a manual lathe before
[15:20:20] <archivist> rewiring the internals of a motor 440 3ph to 220 3ph is easy enough
[15:20:41] <jdh> isn't it just a turret?
[15:20:51] <archivist> or capstan
[15:21:02] <jdh> there is no 3ph residential here of any voltage.
[15:21:33] <jdh> would a phase converter and the old motor be any better than a new single phase?
[15:21:36] <archivist> nor here hence single phase to 3ph inverter/vfd
[15:22:01] <cradek> TekniQue: that's called a turret lathe
[15:22:03] <jdh> or chdaper.
[15:22:06] <jdh> or cheaper?
[15:22:16] <TekniQue> I see
[15:22:28] <jdh> I'd go buy it if I could sell my chinese 9x20 quickly
[15:22:37] <cradek> jdh: you'd want a 2hp single phase vfd and 2hp 3ph motor
[15:22:49] <cradek> then run it on your normal single phase 240
[15:23:16] <archivist> rewire the motor internally then you dont need to get a new motor
[15:23:30] <cradek> depends how big it is.
[15:23:59] <jdh> we have one at work that looks physically the same, 480 though
[15:24:01] <cradek> if it's an 8hp motor you simply can't run it on your household power (but it's probably not very big)
[15:26:35] <jdh> looks like they have small motors
[15:26:41] <AR_> k
[15:26:50] <AR_> ordered chinese sbr16 rails for new mini machine
[15:26:51] <AR_> lol
[15:27:11] <AR_> now i need to decide between aluminum extrusions or steel tube for frame
[15:27:20] <cradek> yes I would be surprised if that lathe was more than 2hp.
[15:28:06] <cradek> in case it's not obvious, that is not an engine lathe: you can't cut threads with it

[15:31:06] <AR_> two 350mm long supported shaft rails with 2 bearing blocks each
[15:31:39] <AR_> two 28 inch long IKO LWL12 profile rails with 2 bearing blocks each
[15:31:53] <AR_> do you think i can make an x/y table with that
[15:32:00] <AR_> with aluminum extrusions/plate
[15:32:03] <AR_> ?
[15:32:33] <AR_> i'm thinking something like
http://www.cnczone.com/forums/vertical_mill_lathe_project_log/32609-80_20_mill_build-4.html
[15:32:35] <AR_> but a bit smaller
[15:34:06] <archivist> anything is possible but bars can be flexible if there is not enough support or stiffness
[15:34:47] <AR_> which bars do you mean
[15:36:42] <AR_> i think if i cut my IKO rails down to like 18" for X axis
[15:36:51] <AR_> use 350mm rails for Y
[15:37:00] <AR_> it should be fairly stiff
[15:37:32] <AR_> even if i used just AL extrusions
[15:37:53] <archivist> you say shaft rails do you mean round bar unsupported except the ends
[15:37:55] <AR_> but i'm contemplating AL plate and/or steel tube frame
[15:38:05] <AR_> oh, i mean supported
[15:39:07] <AR_> i was thinking maybe steel tube frame filled with sand
[15:39:45] <AR_> this would be a little machine
[15:40:20] <AR_> quite literally a desktop machine size
[15:40:26] <archivist> draw it up, insufficient data to guess

[15:44:05] <jdh> yeah, lack of threading is not great, but I already have lack of threading.
[15:44:19] <r00t4rd3d> lacker
[15:45:25] <jdh> so, I have an aluminum compressor head. On top is a steel intake valve body, with a bad valve under it. I cannot get the damned valve cover/body/whatever off.
[15:45:27] <archivist> jdh but if adding a leadscrew and cnc it becomes more usable
[15:45:57] <jdh> archivist: the one we have at work that looks like that just clamps the saddle on to the ways wherever you want.
[15:46:09] <archivist> heat and a sharp tap with a hammer
[15:46:36] <jdh> I froze it, then hit the aluminum body with a torch (not too much I hope), no luck.
[15:47:06] <jdh> http://tinyurl.com/cjgr7hy
[15:47:08] <jdh> that's the head
[15:47:38] <archivist> is it screwed in
[15:47:51] <jdh> the valve body fits a 32mm socket. The center allen is a jacking bolt to hold the valve components against the head
[15:48:06] <jdh> it is screwed in, with a crush gasket between them.
[15:48:16] <r00t4rd3d> http://imgur.com/a/5toGa
[15:48:21] <jdh> teh big ugly rusty part is the thing that needs to come off
[15:48:21] <r00t4rd3d> lol
[15:49:28] <archivist> will be tight, the sharp tap with a hammer to compress the washer and to undo
[15:49:29] -!- AR_ has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[15:50:45] <jdh> the jacking bolt won't budge either
[15:51:37] <archivist> I also hammer side ways all the way round the bolt/screwed item where possible
[15:51:51] <archivist> some times with some gusto
[15:52:20] <archivist> getting a higher success rate these days
[15:52:31] <jdh> I'll try that. And maybe a longer bar
[15:52:56] <jdh> someone suggested transmission fluid and acetone 50/50 as penetrating oil.
[15:53:06] <archivist> getting enough shocks to the corroded threads
[15:53:46] <jdh> I tried 30 mins in an ultrasonic cleaner too. It is clean anyway
[15:54:32] <jdh> I can only get the torch on about 50% of the mount due to the cooling fins
[15:54:35] <archivist> one thing I have been doing last year was "metal cleaning" for a scrap yard where I was separating all sorts of rubbish
[15:55:17] <archivist> hammer and parallel punches were the main tools
[15:55:38] <jdh> the bottom part is metal/metal sealing surface so I don't want to damage or warp it with heat.

[15:56:39] <archivist> tapping the valve down will compress the washer and separate the thread corrosion
[15:57:21] <jdh> and the body is finned for cooling. Can't tap where the washer is compressed
[15:57:58] <jdh> seems like a really poor design. Guess if it had been removed in the last 20 years, it might come off easier.
[15:57:59] <archivist> at that pressure I expect the torque to loosen to be very high
[15:58:51] <pcw_home> heavy walled tube to reach between fins?
[15:58:51] <jdh> guess I could stick it on the mill and cut the whole thing out if I have to.
[15:59:14] <jdh> the fins are in plane with the load
[15:59:25] <jdh> (the fins on the valve body, not the head)

[17:14:25] <AR_> bottom rails are supported shaft type
[17:14:44] <AR_> the ones on top are 12mm profile rail

[17:16:54] <AR_> :P
[17:18:00] <AR_> do you think i should shorten the 28" rails for stability?
[17:19:01] <awallin_> put the Y-rails much farther apart..
[17:20:56] <AR_> farther is better with the expense of losing travel
[17:21:09] <AR_> however i suppose with my long rails it will be sufficient to go farther

[22:18:29] <kwallace1> I just hooked up a ShuttleXpress but the udev rule doesn't seem to change the permissions to /dev/hidraw0. I used this link:
http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man1/shuttlexpress.1.html
[22:19:52] <kwallace1> Changing permission manually using "sudo chmod +r /dev/hidraw0" does work but my guess is that isn't the best way to do this.
[22:20:04] <AR_> horrible implementation
[22:20:07] <AR_> please buy a new computer
[22:21:41] <kwallace1> Oops, I meant ShuttleXpress USB MPG joggy thingy.

[22:24:03] <jdh> kwallace1: I hooked mine up, used the sample hal stuff, it worked as-is
[22:26:15] <kwallace1> My search didn't turn up much, so I figured this isn't usually a problem, I must be special.
[22:26:47] <jdh> that's what they say. I'm sure they only mean good things by that.
[22:27:26] <jdh> mine cost like $38 from adorama

[22:33:46] <jdh> and, I got my valve cover off!. I milled it down to a 27mm hex and it came right off.

[22:35:59] <cradek> oh
[22:36:02] <jdh> yep
[22:36:08] <archivist> jdh, the cutting vibration may have helped too
[22:37:13] <archivist> jdh, but the flange now has less support so may have sprung back a bit to reduce the grip
[22:37:22] <jdh> probably. It wasn't a crush gasket after all, there is a large rubber seal

[22:38:55] <jdh> If I can get the set screw out of there, I could reuse the body. Replacement version looks like:

[22:39:03] <kwallace1> Yup, that was it, did a "save as" but to my home, doh. Is there a way to reload udev rules without rebooting?
[22:40:20] <cradek> service udev restart
[22:40:47] <kwallace1> Thanks.
[22:41:06] <cradek> jdh: what is that thing?
[22:41:30] <kwallace1> jdh: Do you mean the bit with the acorn nut?
[22:41:31] <jdh> cradek: it's the discharge valve for the 2nd stage of a high pressure compressor
[22:41:39] <cradek> ahh
[22:45:12] <jdh> hardest part was guessing the proper orientation for the G10 L2 P1 R<something close>
[22:55:39] <kwallace1> jdh: I think the screw goes out the wide end of the body. You'll need to get the acorn nut off.
