[10:28:41] <MattyMatt> np. linuxemc is the only sensible choice for the cnc control software anyway
[10:28:49] <frallzor> still up and running, just updated the software and some functions in EMC so its a bit "not that outdated" =)

[10:31:03] <MattyMatt> ah most machines are flixible
[10:31:17] <MattyMatt> it's mostly a question of size
[10:31:55] <MattyMatt> I am trying to get away from woodwork tho, so a vertical mill is more my style atm
[10:32:17] <frallzor> I do 90% wood/plastic so this is my cup of tea =)
[10:33:03] <MattyMatt> show CreativeMachines some pics, of what a real flatbed router looks like :D
[10:33:28] <frallzor> wish I had more images than I do =P
[10:33:55] <MattyMatt> ah well, mechmate is easily googled

[10:34:47] <MattyMatt> hmm, now I'm in this old familiar environment, I remember how much I like the Sable 2015 as a desktop mill

[10:36:46] <MattyMatt> http://www.cnc-sable.nl/sable-2015-p-21.html?language=en .nl supplier, overpriced
[10:37:02] <MattyMatt> but still half the price of that high-z
[10:37:18] <archivist> CreativeMachines, make whatever you need yourself
[10:37:47] <frallzor> build a MechMate!
[10:37:48] <frallzor> its fun
[10:37:49] <MattyMatt> he is time poor, and moderately cash rich
[10:38:22] <frallzor> pay someone to build it? =P
[10:38:37] <MattyMatt> and that sable does come with drivers and spindle, so isn't ridiculously overpriced compared with importing yourself
[10:38:54] <archivist> CreativeMachines, where in UK
[10:39:23] <CreativeMachines> Whitworth (north Manchester)
[10:39:29] <CreativeMachines> altho i work in Uxbridge, London
[10:39:46] <CreativeMachines> moderately cash rich - lol
[10:39:56] <archivist> in the middle here, Burton
[10:39:58] <CreativeMachines> brb#
[10:40:21] <MattyMatt> compared to "maybe-I-should-jack-this-in-and-go-on-the-dole" matty you are ;)
[10:40:45] <archivist> Dole is well paid
[10:40:49] <MattyMatt> like when I needed a machine, I got out the drawer slides and plywood
[10:41:07] <MattyMatt> I need to make some kids to get a decent dole
[10:41:56] <MattyMatt> I should register all my machines as children :)
[10:42:37] <MattyMatt> lotty the lathe needs new shoes
[10:45:53] <CreativeMachines> lol
[10:49:14] <MattyMatt> making a T-Slot bot does seem pretty simple tho. and T-slot is so cheap at KJN
[10:49:55] <MattyMatt> some reprap bots are getting stiff enough for light milling now
[10:52:22] <CreativeMachines> agreed
[10:53:22] -!- bobby_ has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[10:53:55] <MattyMatt> if you made one out of 40x80 tslot, with supported rails and decent leadscrews, you'd end up with a sturdier one than that hi-z
[10:54:48] <MattyMatt> that hi-z uses unsipported round rails, and 22mm is nonstandard size so you're stuck with their bushings
[10:56:25] <MattyMatt> £16.45 a metre for 40x80
[10:57:02] <CreativeMachines> ye - ive built my CM1 printer out of 20x60 and its decent already
[10:57:13] <CreativeMachines> which leadscrews would you use?
[10:57:21] <CreativeMachines> my biggest issue is time
[10:57:41] <MattyMatt> ballscrews are best
[10:58:00] <frallzor> balls *giggles*
[10:58:23] <MattyMatt> probably worth it. I read once that acme is 30% efficient, ballscrews 80%
[10:59:52] <CreativeMachines> link to UK supplier? World of cnc or similar?
[11:00:06] <MattyMatt> how pressing an issue is time? can you wait for all the components to come from china?
[11:00:39] <MattyMatt> world of cnc = marchantdice? double the chinese price generally
[11:00:57] <frallzor> I dont like his quailty either
[11:01:05] <MattyMatt> but I think they do make a lot of it themselves, they don't just import
[11:01:13] <frallzor> bought a complete Z-axis there
[11:01:27] <frallzor> was a nice expensive POS =)
[11:01:40] <MattyMatt> good to know :p

[11:02:02] <CreativeMachines> well, its not a major rush but i d liek to be able to make some parts for my own design 3d printer
[11:02:04] <frallzor> but that was for my first build, after that I didt all on my own =P
[11:02:07] <CreativeMachines> but not urgent- just nice to have
[11:02:13] <CreativeMachines> ye, world of cnc not cheap
[11:02:15] <MattyMatt> the prices put me off, when it's my money, but if I didn't know better I'd spend other peoples money there :)

[11:03:32] <MattyMatt> you get nice bundles of slides + ballscrews on ebay
[11:03:49] <MattyMatt> pick your bundle, and size the bot around them
[11:04:57] <MattyMatt> but then when you start looking on ebay, you get widlcards like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ball-screw-linear-table-cnc-ground-anti-backlash-new-500mm-long-/221184604069
[11:05:32] <MattyMatt> for £31 (ignoring the 11 bidders) that'd be a good axis ready made
[11:08:34] -!- Blorb has quit [Quit: changing servers]
[11:09:54] <CreativeMachines> so i take it the slides are for X and Y, what about Z?
[11:10:00] <CreativeMachines> do you use similar or different appraoch?
[11:10:16] <CreativeMachines> what size nema typically? 23 or larger/
[11:10:21] <CreativeMachines> and what controller recommended?
[11:12:53] <MattyMatt> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/linear-rail-SBR-sets-ballscrew-sets-BK-BF12-coupler-/250447819886 3 axis bundle
[11:13:24] <MattyMatt> only 12mm, but it's supported
[11:13:53] <MattyMatt> yeah I'd go nema23, and geckos if you don't want to cheap out
[11:14:32] <MattyMatt> the gecko 4 axis is ~$250
[11:14:55] <archivist> my drivers and stepper were from arc euro trade
[11:15:09] <MattyMatt> you could run it off a printer port, but $100 will get you a mesa anything i/o card
[11:15:53] <MattyMatt> zapp automation seem to be the best value of the big 3 british places
[11:18:25] <MattyMatt> the thing about those tslot bots is you can buy just about all the bits you need off the shelf
[11:18:58] <MattyMatt> and assembling one is no worse than a flat pack wardrobe afaics
[11:20:17] <archivist> some struggle with flat packs!
[11:21:04] <MattyMatt> wardrobe users are different from cnc users :)
[11:21:21] <CreativeMachines> lol
[11:21:37] <archivist> you sure? seems some dumb questions :)
[11:21:43] <archivist> seen
[11:21:44] <MattyMatt> I contend that if you can use one, you can assemble one comfortably

[19:06:06] * anonimas1 has tailstock alignment issues
[19:06:18] <anonimas1> my tailstock goes ~ when I move it along the bed of my lathe
[19:06:23] <anonimas1> despite everything being straight.
[19:07:22] <anonimas1> if I turn a bar it's 0.000mm off out to wherever whip starts to affect it, so I know the carriage is straight.
[19:07:44] <anonimas1> I indicated the tailstock V and guideway with that as reference, it's straight
[19:07:54] <anonimas1> (no discernable twist)
[19:08:24] <anonimas1> however when I move the tailstock and clamp it down I get 0.10mm of difference when I move it along the bed
[19:08:26] <anonimas1> anyone got a clue?
[19:08:29] -!- mephux has quit [Excess Flood]
[19:09:13] <archivist> have you leveled the bed properly
[19:10:04] <anonimas1> yes
[19:10:26] <anonimas1> way closer then 0.01mm/meter
[19:10:48] <anonimas1> 1.8 meters and I have about a hair movement on the level
[19:11:41] <anonimas1> I'd have taper when cutting if it werent
[19:12:48] <anonimas1> last resort is pulling the tailstock off and cleaning the ways and the underside
[19:13:03] <anonimas1> as far as I see

[19:14:26] <archivist> or used a parallel bar and dti
[19:14:55] <anonimas1> I bought a ground bar, center drilled it and set it up between tailstock and spindle
[19:15:10] <anonimas1> I can do that and it works,
[19:15:58] <anonimas1> but as soon as i release the tailstock it dosent go straight without tweaking the setscrews to adjust it in the x direction
[19:17:23] <archivist> also are you expecting a greater accuracy than you should (wear, age and what can be achieved)
[19:17:52] <anonimas1> I expect to be in the same city.
[19:17:52] <anonimas1> :D
[19:18:43] <archivist> .1mm is close for some lathes
[19:19:21] <anonimas1> well, I turn stuff better then +/- 0.002 without a problem
[19:19:25] <frallzor> machine big enough things so that .1mm is nothing!
[19:19:38] <archivist> dti in the spindle and run around the tailstock nose/center
[19:20:22] <anonimas1> I can turn stuff as good as the feedback that sits on the machine allows, that should give a indication of wear
[19:20:43] <archivist> turning accuracy has nothing to do with tailstock set over or axis in line with bed or inline with spindle
[19:21:01] <anonimas1> yeah, but i would see taper if the machine was worn..
[19:21:30] <archivist> depends on length turned and accuracy of measurement
[19:22:15] <anonimas1> I made some shafts and they were +/- 0.001 over a length of 400, when I got the tailstock dialed in
[19:23:20] <anonimas1> tho as soon as i move it it's a mess all over
[19:23:25] <archivist> and when you move the tailstock you need to re adjust?
[19:23:28] <anonimas1> yeah

[19:23:58] -!- Sendoushi has quit [Remote host closed the connection]

[19:28:57] <archivist> another check, put level on tailstock and slide it up and down

[19:34:01] <anonimas1> (looked at machine tool restoration to see what to check)
[19:34:26] <archivist> spindle to tailstock, this tests they are inline which is your current problem

[19:43:31] <anonimas1> note, I dont need to move it just unclamp it for this to happen
[19:43:33] <archivist> does your bed have upturned v
[19:43:43] <anonimas1> yes
[19:44:05] <anonimas1> I measured them too, they are not worn
[19:45:48] <archivist> check v of tailstock , dirt or wear
[19:47:03] <anonimas1> hopefully dirt :)
[19:47:04] <archivist> schlesinger limit is .02mm for between centres

[19:48:17] <archivist> I wonder if this book will ever be republished
[19:48:19] <anonimas1> I felt a bit of dirt under the slides,and it's possibly there's old oil stuck under the tailstock..
[19:48:33] <anonimas1> machine tool reconditioning if good also, for that
[19:48:57] <archivist> the 1950s book, I have that too :)
[19:49:17] <frallzor> I keep going out in the garage just to play with the auto touch-off
[19:49:20] <anonimas1> I were going to learn how to scrape..
[19:49:21] <frallzor> Im in love with it! =P
[19:49:30] <anonimas1> tho, I have to first get a very very good surface plate.
[19:49:58] <anonimas1> like a grade 0 one :D
[19:52:15] <anonimas1> if you are going to scrape gauges, why make them not accurate as a start.
[19:54:08] <archivist> I think schlesinger has been replaced by http://www.iso.org/iso/home/store/catalogue_tc/catalogue_tc_browse.htm?commid=48354&published=on&includesc=true

[23:23:30] <jsr> Many years ago, I had a DRO running using the HAL language. I never understood why I typed some of the "magic" instructions in to get it to run.
[23:24:37] <jsr> Such instructions as "./scripts/emc-environment". Now I want to resurrect that DRO, and can't get at least this instruction to run.
[23:25:27] <JT-Shop> . ./scrips/rip-environment
[23:25:42] <JT-Shop> scripts
[23:27:09] <jsr> Thank, JT. What directory should I be in when I execute this?
[23:27:39] <jsr> "Thanks"
[23:28:06] <JT-Shop> the directory you have the RIP copied to
[23:28:27] <JT-Shop> if you have recent git checkout that is
[23:29:33] <jsr> Just did the git last night because I remember something about requiring EMC-dev.
[23:29:55] <JT-Shop> ok
[23:30:30] <JT-Shop> do you have a hal script or something to run your dro?
