[16:13:54] <zeeshan|2> 'no. 2. starrett micrometer'
[16:14:02] <zeeshan|2> the anvils change from 0 to 1 and 1 to 2
[16:14:09] <zeeshan|2> never seen this type on the starrett website?
[16:14:22] <humble_sea_bass> zeeshan|2: how much did you post the kennedy box for
[16:14:42] <archivist> as does mine http://www.collection.archivist.info/showresult.php?prog=1&srcprog=searchv13.php&srcdata=title&Type=PD&Accn_no=9395&subject=26733
[16:15:01] <zeeshan|2> well new, both the sections go for like 500$
[16:15:12] <zeeshan|2> so i'd prolly be happy with getting 180 for both the boxes
[16:15:19] <zeeshan|2> theyre in pretty nice condition
[16:15:28] <zeeshan|2> archivist: so with this type of micrometer
[16:15:31] <humble_sea_bass> where are you again? Thunder bay?
[16:15:35] <zeeshan|2> you just change the anvil and then have to recalibrate?
[16:15:41] <zeeshan|2> humble_sea_bass: near toronto .. im in hamilton
[16:15:43] <archivist> meh, Starrett new prices are just silly
[16:15:58] <zeeshan|2> archivist: those priceses are for the felt lined kennedy boxes
[16:16:08] <humble_sea_bass> check how much shipping would be to 10010
[16:16:19] <archivist> if you look at my moore and wright set it comes with standards
[16:16:19] <zeeshan|2> L0R 1W0 is postal code
[16:16:26] <humble_sea_bass> america

[16:17:01] <zeeshan|2> oktheres 2 things in this pic idont know what they are
[16:17:05] <zeeshan|2> left to the depth gage
[16:17:11] <zeeshan|2> and bottom to the depth gage
[16:17:31] <zeeshan|2> bottom to the depth gauge looks like something that measures angles?
[16:17:35] <zeeshan|2> it goes from o to 90
[16:17:48] <tjtr33> i looked at the 'key with dial' thingy looks like a depth gauge
[16:18:15] <tjtr33> it goes 0 to 100
[16:18:15] <archivist> the with a dial is a rpm measuring device
[16:18:20] <zeeshan|2> 0 to 100
[16:18:24] <zeeshan|2> ah
[16:18:42] <zeeshan|2> 100 rpm increments
[16:18:58] <tjtr33> is this april 1?
[16:18:58] <archivist> use a watch and keep in contact for a set period, probably a minute
[16:19:12] <zeeshan|2> tjtr33: hah
[16:19:21] <zeeshan|2> okay whats that slotted weird gauge thing?
[16:19:24] <zeeshan|2> i have no clue what it is
[16:19:32] <archivist> 100 rpm per minute
[16:20:04] <archivist> a form of bevel gauge
[16:20:24] <humble_sea_bass> jesus christ canada post is expensive
[16:20:55] <zeeshan|2> archivist: yea it looks like a bel gauge
[16:20:58] <zeeshan|2> bevel
[16:21:08] <zeeshan|2> will investigate further
[16:21:24] <zeeshan|2> http://i.imgur.com/7OhX0Ql.jpg
[16:21:33] <zeeshan|2> the middle two scales (big one and small one)
[16:21:48] <zeeshan|2> are those wire measurement gages?
[16:22:00] -!- mhaberler [mhaberler!~mhaberler@extern-177.stiwoll.mah.priv.at] has joined #linuxcnc
[16:22:04] <tjtr33> unfold the last element inside the pocket-knife like thing & take another pic
[16:22:12] <archivist> or for clock spring measurement
[16:22:42] <archivist> I see two clock spring things there
[16:23:24] <zeeshan|2> i dont see any clock springs
[16:23:24] <zeeshan|2> ;p
[16:23:33] <tjtr33> the dogbone holes have a c-sink on one end, are those threaded?
[16:23:37] <archivist> nickname for the taper slot is pivot breaker
[16:24:21] <zeeshan|2> tjtr33: thats just a hook scale
[16:24:23] <zeeshan|2> in that pouch
[16:24:24] <archivist> it is for measuring the thickness of watch/clock springs
[16:24:50] <zeeshan|2> interesting
[16:24:54] <zeeshan|2> i don't think ill be ever using those
[16:24:56] <archivist> the thing with slots on the sides is a spring height measurement
[16:25:22] <zeeshan|2> that was my next question
[16:25:24] <zeeshan|2> haha
[16:25:35] <archivist> unless the wording on it states awg etc
[16:25:44] <zeeshan|2> lemme go take a closer look
[16:26:03] <archivist> makers name helps
[16:26:13] -!- terabyte- has quit [Quit: terabyte-]
[16:28:53] <zeeshan|2> it does not say awg on it
[16:29:04] <zeeshan|2> the little gauge is adrill gage
[16:29:15] <zeeshan|2> i didnt see it closely before, but it says drill gage on it -- i guess for extremely tiny drill bits
[16:29:24] <zeeshan|2> that taper looking thin says 'martin fils'
[16:29:45] <zeeshan|2> and looks like its got threads in each hole
[16:30:13] -!- mhaberler has quit [Quit: mhaberler]
[16:30:14] <zeeshan|2> googling that shows something to do with watch makers screw gauge
[16:30:58] <tjtr33> fils = wire in french?
[16:31:27] <zeeshan|2> fils = son in french
[16:31:28] <zeeshan|2> :)
[16:31:31] <archivist> here are some the camera could not be arsed to focus on http://www.collection.archivist.info/archive/DJCPD/PD/2014/2014_04_05_tools/IMG_1795.JPG
[16:31:53] <zeeshan|2> yes
[16:31:57] <zeeshan|2> is that a wire gauge chart
[16:32:06] <zeeshan|2> wire gage i mean
[16:32:07] <zeeshan|2> or spring gage
[16:32:17] <zeeshan|2> that one has no markings on it in terms of makers mark

[16:35:08] <zeeshan|2> i was really looking for inside ones
[16:35:21] <zeeshan|2> cause you can measure internal o-ring grooves quickly with them

[16:36:42] <zeeshan|2> its some sort of caliper
[16:37:12] <zeeshan|2> its a starrett and it says No.426 on it
[16:37:18] <zeeshan|2> but when i google that, it comes up w/ micrometer set.
[16:37:40] <R2E4_> zeeshan|2: you studying someone else toolbox? lol
[16:38:01] <zeeshan|2> R2E4: no, i bought a tool box mainly for other stuff
[16:38:09] <zeeshan|2> but this is the extras im trying to identify
[16:38:32] <zeeshan|2> i think that caliper is called a 'caliper square'

[16:41:10] <zeeshan|2> those round things
[16:41:13] <zeeshan|2> what the heck are those?!
[16:42:49] <tjtr33> looks like tube clamp, tube sits on inside v, clamp sits on outside flats, screw pins tube to v
[16:43:44] <tjtr33> the guy does seem to have watchmaker type tools, so thats a hint

[16:46:35] <zeeshan|2> and some money
[16:46:39] <zeeshan|2> for a nice level?!:! :)

[17:05:55] <XXCoder1> I wonder if theres any cnc simulator that would show if cnc was cutting material too slow to fast
[17:05:57] <XXCoder1> or
[17:07:09] <Tom_itx> i doubt it
[17:07:30] <XXCoder1> yeah doubted it. or very expensive

[17:20:03] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop, time for a spring BBQ
[17:20:11] <Tom_itx> no work today
[17:21:02] <tjtr33> oh shiessen = shoot
[17:21:16] <JT-Shop> been making fixtures and rigging up and fixing this and that trying to powder coat some parts
[17:22:25] <Tom_itx> do you have to charge the material for the powdercoat to stick?
[17:28:17] <JT-Shop> yea, you hook a clip onto the the fixture that they hang from
[17:28:34] <Tom_itx> what sort of voltage does it take?
[17:29:10] <JT-Shop> 30KV - 50KV so you don't want to stick your tongue on it while it is on
[17:29:26] <Tom_itx> i figured high voltage low current
[17:29:49] <Tom_itx> DC?
[17:29:58] <JT-Shop> yea
[17:31:27] <Tom_itx> i worked at a place that had a paint line similar to that
[17:31:34] <Tom_itx> not powder coat though
[17:34:24] <PetefromTn_> You can do your own powdercoating for pretty cheap Tom if you want... You can buy guns from eastwood and Sears Craftsman that work rather well for pretty cheap and cure the parts in a used toaster oven.
[17:34:48] <Tom_itx> no, just curious about the process
[17:34:59] <Tom_itx> i'd just take it to a local shop if i had anything
[17:35:14] <PetefromTn_> me too but it is fun to play with.
[17:36:39] <JT-Shop> I use a pottery kiln for an oven
[17:37:00] <PetefromTn_> man it does not need to get that hot....
[17:37:07] <Tom_itx> what temps do you bake it at?
[17:37:16] <Tom_itx> like 400f?
[17:37:21] <Tom_itx> less...
[17:37:41] <PetefromTn_> the kiln probably has great temp control tho.

[18:43:58] <gene_> I did a sudo killall konversation from an ssh -Y session, it was the milling machines box.
[18:44:32] <PetefromTn_> Well the number of outlets depends on how much flow you have.. If your pump is wimpy you need to lower the number of nozzles and if it is greater you can of course have more. I find that the Haas machines have that programmable coolant nozzle which is sweet but it uses a brass tube and for some reason with no nozzle the flow is quite powerful.
[18:45:34] <Connor> PetefromTn_: Yea, my flow is wimpy at the moment.. I'll be adding a larger pump.. which is why I was going to cap two of them off.
[18:45:45] <PetefromTn_> My machine has the loc line nozzles which are nice and directional but i have seen just a simple small diameter brass tube work amazingly well.
[18:46:13] <Connor> I've got loc line, 3 knock off's and 1 original. the original has a valve on it.
[18:46:47] <PetefromTn_> I went thru two different pumps on the RF45 and the larger pond pump from Horrible freight worked okay.
[18:47:00] <PetefromTn_> I had two nozzles one coming from each side of the head.
[18:47:06] <Connor> So, my thinking is, drill alumn block all the way through, and then 2 holes in the bottom.
[18:47:36] <Connor> I'll cap the two bottom holes and use the straight through for now..
[18:48:04] <Connor> Yea, this pump is out of a parts washer from Harbor Freight..
[18:48:37] <Connor> I don't think it's going to have enough umph to move very much chips...
[18:48:44] <Connor> but don't know till I get the nozzle on it.
[18:49:31] <Connor> What sort of pump can I use ?
[18:49:49] <PetefromTn_> Well if you screen it well the pond pump worked okay for as long as I had it.
[18:49:55] <Connor> from harbor freight.
[18:50:01] <gene_> How do you folks contain the fluid so as to let it settle & recycle it? I keep looking for a pan big enough to set my large table HF sx1 in, but haven't found one with a truly flat bottom.
[18:50:06] <PetefromTn_> a real diry water pump would probably be better..
[18:50:43] <Connor> I have a 2 stage setup... I have a collection tank which is nothing more than a plastic trash can with 4 layers of filter in it.. and it has a overflow..
[18:51:15] <Connor> and it drains into a bucket below which is the coolant reservoir.
[18:52:10] <Connor> http://www.harborfreight.com/6-1-2-half-gallon-parts-washer-96952.html
[18:52:16] <PetefromTn_> I used a rubbermaid rectangular trough as the coolant sump and cut the snap on lid to accept believe it or not a baby diaper box. In that box I diverted the pipe from the enclosure and i packed the baby diaper box with filter mostly the green type pads.
[18:52:17] <Connor> thats the part washer I got the pump from.
[18:52:49] <Connor> It says 317 gallons per hour..
[18:53:00] <Connor> which.. I think was changed..
[18:53:08] <PetefromTn_> I also had a sink screen in the enclosure to catch the larger stuff and keep it from going down the drain into the sump.
[18:53:24] <Connor> well.. no, that's 5.2 gallons per minute..
[18:53:32] <Connor> I don't even think I'm getting 1 a minute..
[18:54:18] <gene_> How is that plumbed so as to prevent swarf from bridging the drain?

[19:01:24] <PetefromTn_> There are actualy hoses up top there that are capped off for coolant tho...
[19:01:59] <PetefromTn_> I cannot remember how big the hose was... probably 3/8 but the main line was like half or larger...
[19:02:04] <gene_> Good grief, doesn't that camera have an auto exposure?

[19:04:26] <Connor> PetefromTn_: How Strong was the flow? Could you hook up a extra line and use it to spray down the enclosure ?
[19:05:44] <tjtr33> sandvik high pressure coolant holders not only have indexable bits, but similar replaceable coolant jets for each bit shape. 80bar but not much flow, just hi pressure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwoI_F4Xed0

[19:07:34] <PetefromTn_> actually yeah I had a ball valve underneath the enclosure that I shutoff to divert the flow to the garden hose but it was not anything like the VMC...it worked tho...
[19:13:39] <gene_> I assume you folks have something in the water to keep the machine from rusting from the constant exposure? Trade secret ??
[19:14:11] <PetefromTn_> no trade secret....just coolant. I use trim sol
[19:14:21] <PetefromTn_> There are TONS of different types.
[19:14:51] <PetefromTn_> depending on your material you intend to cut the most and what kind of machining you are doing.
[19:14:56] <gene_> That I fugured on, each with its evangelists of course :)
[19:15:28] <PetefromTn_> no evangelista here man.. I just use trim sol because it is cheap and so far works well.

[19:47:57] <PetefromTn_> Had over a dozen sportbikes over the years, tried them all. Bridgestones, Dunlops, Michelins, Pirellis, you name it. They are all nice. Mostly ran dunlops tho.

[19:48:45] <PetefromTn_> Have not had a bike since my youngest daughter was born.
[19:48:55] <PetefromTn_> Been itching to get another one.
[19:49:07] <andypugh> I seem to keep my bikes until they die. I had the FJ1100 for 10 years (and it was 10 years old when I bought it). I bought the 2004 R1 that I use now new.
[19:49:09] <PetefromTn_> Probably wind up with a cafe racer project bike or something cheap.
[19:49:29] <PetefromTn_> I love Yamaha, Had a bunch.
[19:49:47] Cylly is now known as Loetmichel
[19:50:18] <gene_> One of the reasons I put Dunlaps on our Toy last summer. Bstones were about $150/set higher. I got back off the rack for about $650, then 3 hours later put Fstones best street truck tire on the GMC for 800 & change. Lots bigger tire.
[19:50:19] <PetefromTn_> Favorite was the 1992 Yamaha FZR1000R....

[19:50:46] <andypugh> Just ordered some fresh alternator shaft bearings for the R1 in the hope of making it a bit quieter.
[19:51:04] <PetefromTn_> R1 are sweet bikes.
[19:51:09] <PetefromTn_> Wheelie machines LOL
[19:51:17] <andypugh> Yours looks like a motorcycle, only cleaner :-)
[19:51:36] <PetefromTn_> I used to rub it with a daiper.
[19:51:51] <PetefromTn_> mine had white wheels I repainted with some better paint.
[19:52:00] <andypugh> Mine gets cleaned for the MOT test and for the tracj day.
[19:52:07] <PetefromTn_> I used to ride it to bike night and then wipe the crud off the wheels so they shined all the time.
[19:52:31] <andypugh> After being used all winter it is curently filthy. Properly minging.
[19:52:32] <gene_> I'd get s speeding ticket sitting saddle empty in the driveway. :)
[19:52:45] <PetefromTn_> I also had a sweet FZ700 for awhile.

[19:53:47] <PetefromTn_> Mine was exactly like that but it had a hand polished swingarm and complete racing exhaust from Yoshimura.
[19:53:50] <gene_> Biggest bike I ever had was a GS-1000-G, that thing could eat more miles than my kidney could in one sitting.
[19:54:04] * Loetmichel thinks he eats to many babybel chesses. the hulls that were stacked on my desk were sufficient to melt into a small can as a candle... (the battery is an AAA for size comparsion ;-) *cooling down* -> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=14823
[19:55:04] <andypugh> You could have used it to coat a normal-sized wheel of cheese. Sort-o “Pimp my Cheese”
[19:55:14] <PetefromTn_> The FZR1000 was about the perfect bike IMHO.. Fast as hell, big enough to be comfortable on longer rides, had room for my wife to be and could still take a corner fast if necessary.
[19:55:57] <andypugh> (If you don;t get what I am on about: http://www.pimpthatsnack.com )
[19:57:41] <gene_> any one of them would raise my glucose into the meter yelling at me altitude. Darnit...
[19:58:35] <PetefromTn_> Me to my daughter; Hey what do you want me to get you for your birthday? daughter; Umm I dunno... Me; Well I gotta get you something... daughter; Umm okay I want a Lava Lamp and some pokemon cards.... Me: seriously???!!! Daughter; Oh yeah I LOVE Lava Lamps... Should I be worried??? LOL
[19:58:41] <Loetmichel> andypugh: i just cant throw anything away
[19:58:54] <Loetmichel> and i used that wax as a candle before

[20:36:30] <zeeshan|2> so you can to do deep hole drilling with it
[20:36:32] <zeeshan|2> g73 doesnt
[20:36:38] <zeeshan|2> it retracts a small amount
[20:36:44] <zeeshan|2> i could have the codes mixed up
[20:36:48] <zeeshan|2> but i know thats the main diff
[20:36:56] <Connor_mill> I think that's it.
[20:37:05] <Connor_mill> now.. to figure out the paramaters..
[20:37:30] <PetefromTn_> 73 does not fully retract...
[20:37:50] <PetefromTn_> I think anyways..
[20:38:25] <Connor_mill> G83 z-1 r.1 q .050 ?
[20:38:32] <PetefromTn_> it is coded basically the same way tho. just the 73 does not go to the R value until the end.
[20:39:14] <Connor_mill> z is the depts.. q is the increment of depth per retract.. r is the safe height.
[20:39:16] <Connor_mill> ?
[20:39:41] <PetefromTn_> Z is final depth, Q is the peck distance, R is the retract height.
[20:40:05] <PetefromTn_> safe z is whatever you set in Cambam LOL...

[20:47:16] <zeeshan|2> and choose conservative values
[20:48:00] <zeeshan|2> its aluminum
[20:48:12] <zeeshan|2> you can drill that shit at 60 miles per hour
[20:48:13] <zeeshan|2> :D
[20:48:29] <PetefromTn_> yeah I know but having used smaller machines quite a bit I would recommend less feed.
[20:48:43] <zeeshan|2> im kidding
[20:48:55] <PetefromTn_> no actually you are right aluminum is like butter...
[20:49:06] <zeeshan|2> i dont think ive ever broken a tool in aluminujm before
[20:49:19] <zeeshan|2> the aluminum just starts extruding if the drill bit is dull
[20:49:19] <zeeshan|2> lol
[20:49:22] <PetefromTn_> but with marginal flood and minimal HP slower is safer.
[20:49:36] <PetefromTn_> I have broken quite a few tools in aluminum..

[21:43:17] <zeeshan|2> omg
[21:43:20] <zeeshan|2> that is a nice tool.
[21:43:31] <PetefromTn_> zeeshan|2 Hey man since it seems you are not AS sore at me anymore, Can I tell you something I found out?
[21:43:37] <zeeshan|2> sup
[21:44:00] <zeeshan|2> my grudges last a couple hours
[21:44:00] <PetefromTn_> nice bore gauge...
[21:44:34] <PetefromTn_> After you got mad at me about my comments on the aluminum welding of that large bracket.
[21:44:34] <PetefromTn_> the next day I went back to work and the welder came into the machine shop.
[21:44:42] <PetefromTn_> I asked him about how he tig welded that plate.
[21:44:49] -!- gimps [gimps!~noone@unaffiliated/gimps] has joined #linuxcnc
[21:44:59] <PetefromTn_> He said it was 3/4 welded to 5/8 bracketry.
[21:45:08] <PetefromTn_> I asked him how many amps he used.
[21:45:19] <PetefromTn_> He said 260-270...
[21:45:25] <PetefromTn_> I asked him if he pre-heated the material with a torch...
[21:45:28] <PetefromTn_> He said no..
[21:45:37] <PetefromTn_> I asked him about the tig unit they have.
[21:45:41] <zeeshan|2> i don't know how that is possible
[21:45:48] <zeeshan|2> cause the aluminum will absorb all the heat
[21:45:50] <PetefromTn_> He said it is a standard Lincoln 355 tig.

[21:46:00] <zeeshan|2> i have a lincoln precision tig 225
[21:46:17] <zeeshan|2> when i try to weld 1/2" aluminum plate with 1/2" aluminum plate
[21:46:23] <zeeshan|2> it won't weld properly
[21:46:45] <zeeshan|2> when i say weld properly, the puddle doesnt form
[21:47:02] <andypugh> Sounds like your machine might be too small?
[21:47:11] <zeeshan|2> it is
[21:47:13] <zeeshan|2> for something like that
[21:47:25] <zeeshan|2> but pete is saying the welder welded the 3/4" aluminum plate to 5/8"
[21:47:29] <zeeshan|2> at 260-270amps
[21:47:35] -!- lyzidiam_ has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[21:47:42] <zeeshan|2> so with those parameters scaled to 1/2"
[21:47:48] <zeeshan|2> i should be able to weld it easily at 225A
[21:47:55] <andypugh> I missed the part where the other stuff was thicker.
[21:48:11] <zeeshan|2> the only way i got it to even form a puddle was
[21:48:15] <zeeshan|2> by preheating the part to 500F
[21:48:17] <andypugh> When they weld thick alu at work they use MIG.
[21:48:29] <zeeshan|2> yea
[21:48:39] <zeeshan|2> cause w/ tig, it absorbs the heat instaneously
[21:48:47] <andypugh> Well, not any old mig. A special HF-AC MIG
[21:49:14] <zeeshan|2> like say you have a 8" x 11" 1/2" plate
[21:49:27] <zeeshan|2> and you're welding it the an 8"x11" plate (butt weld)
[21:49:43] <zeeshan|2> you'll feel it get extremely hot at the opposite end of the plate from where you're trying to butt weld
[21:49:59] <zeeshan|2> after 2-3 min, you'll start seeing a puddle form
[21:50:02] <zeeshan|2> but its very weak

[21:51:04] <zeeshan|2> *why
[21:51:15] <zeeshan|2> but a proper dynasty 700 series welder

[21:52:00] <witnit> you could add a sweet little hydrogen torch to surround the tig tip, that would be too cool
[21:52:31] <zeeshan|2> you prolly don't want that

[21:52:38] <witnit> no probably not hahahah
[21:52:47] <witnit> but why use argonat all then?
[21:52:55] <witnit> would the fire not eleminiate the oxygen?
[21:52:56] <zeeshan|2> you need to shield it
[21:52:57] <PetefromTn_> I dunno man all I can tell you is what the guy said...
[21:53:04] <PetefromTn_> He said they do it all the time....
[21:53:15] <zeeshan|2> PetefromTn_: i dunno i guess i've experienced otherwise
[21:53:19] <PetefromTn_> My machine is quite similar to theirs. It is a 350 amp machine.
[21:53:48] <PetefromTn_> I will also add that when you are welding into the corner like that it kinda heats faster..
[21:53:58] <zeeshan|2> corner as in a fillet weld?
[21:54:03] <PetefromTn_> yeah.
[21:54:04] <zeeshan|2> or corner of plate
[21:54:08] <zeeshan|2> fillet welds need more amps
[21:54:10] <PetefromTn_> I did NOT see how he set it up..
[21:54:37] <PetefromTn_> all I know is they make those semi often and they have it dialed in.
[21:55:05] <PetefromTn_> The guy is real good... he showed me some pics of his welds on wakeboard towers...BEAUTIFUL.

[21:57:00] <zeeshan|2> says 320-350A
[21:57:04] <zeeshan|2> Requires 3 passes. (Welding speed for multiple passes cannot be accurately predicted.)
[21:57:20] <zeeshan|2> so i guess it can be done
[21:57:25] <zeeshan|2> but the thing that ticked me off is
[21:57:27] <zeeshan|2> you said 'easily'
[21:57:38] <zeeshan|2> and easily means to me: a single pass weld
[21:57:41] <PetefromTn_> easily what?
[21:57:51] <zeeshan|2> you said your welder can do that easily
[21:58:03] <zeeshan|2> easy to me means single pass
[21:58:11] <zeeshan|2> with no special material grooving requirements
[21:58:27] <zeeshan|2> easy to me means dynasty 700 dx
[21:58:29] <PetefromTn_> I said my welder could do it I did not specify what the particulars were..
[21:58:33] <zeeshan|2> crankced to 500amps
[21:58:39] <zeeshan|2> does 1/2" aluminum in a single pass :P
[21:58:48] <zeeshan|2> you said your welder can do that easily.
[21:59:09] <PetefromTn_> my machine is no toy tho. it is a large commercial machine that has some serious balls..
[21:59:18] <zeeshan|2> amps is amps
[21:59:22] <zeeshan|2> has nothing to do with how big your machine is
[21:59:31] <zeeshan|2> a larger transformer type machine will obviously put out more amps
[21:59:37] <PetefromTn_> I knew I should not have brought this up..
[21:59:38] <zeeshan|2> amps is directly proportional to heat generated
[21:59:51] <zeeshan|2> power = volts * current
[22:00:10] <zeeshan|2> power == heat generated
[22:00:11] <PetefromTn_> All I know is the machine he did that with is no more powerful than the one I own.
[22:00:25] <zeeshan|2> lets just agree it's doable
[22:00:31] <zeeshan|2> it's just not easy.
[22:00:31] <Tom_itx> chinese power = volts / amps
[22:00:36] <PetefromTn_> Oh it is doable alright LOL...
[22:00:48] <zeeshan|2> and requires multiple passes and material prep
[22:00:59] <PetefromTn_> Dunno what it takes but he did it..
[22:01:08] <zeeshan|2> at magnus motorsports, they had a dynasty 700
[22:01:14] <zeeshan|2> when they did 1/2 aluminum frame welding
[22:01:15] <PetefromTn_> From the looks of the weld it does not LOOK like multiple passes....
[22:01:18] <zeeshan|2> they could do it in a single pass
[22:01:41] <PetefromTn_> I will ask him about how many passes on monday.
[22:02:10] <zeeshan|2> you can hide a multi pass weld with a single weld pretty easily
[22:02:34] <PetefromTn_> He said he has a Miller Dialarc at his home shop that he does the same thing with apparently altho I have not seen evidence of it.
[22:02:38] <zeeshan|2> http://www.twi-global.com/EasysiteWeb/getresource.axd?AssetID=14156&type=full&servicetype=Inline
[22:02:39] <PetefromTn_> Yeah I know I do it often.
[22:02:40] <zeeshan|2> can you see th at pic?
[22:03:06] <PetefromTn_> yeah.
[22:03:27] <zeeshan|2> its hard to tell just by looking at it
[22:03:35] <zeeshan|2> and if he did that at 260A single pass
[22:03:39] <zeeshan|2> its a weak weld anyway
[22:03:45] <andypugh> I used to do research for twi
[22:03:55] <zeeshan|2> andypugh: what field
[22:03:59] <andypugh> Electron Beam welding is what you want
[22:04:15] <andypugh> zeeshan|2: Electron beam welding.

[22:05:13] <PetefromTn_> Can you see the bored hole in the middle?
[22:05:15] <andypugh> It can weld 1m thick material in a single pass with no weld-prep. (other than tightly butted faces)
[22:05:20] <zeeshan|2> yes
[22:05:27] <zeeshan|2> andypugh: holy cow
[22:05:33] <zeeshan|2> 1 meter?
[22:05:37] <PetefromTn_> I personally drilled and reamed that hole myself...
[22:05:37] <andypugh> Yes
[22:05:43] <zeeshan|2> that is crazy
[22:05:54] <PetefromTn_> I can tell you that the weld penetrates JUST fine...

[22:06:22] <zeeshan|2> andypugh: ^
[22:06:30] <zeeshan|2> i did research on resistance spot welding
[22:06:35] <zeeshan|2> on a particular alloy of steel
[22:07:13] <zeeshan|2> was trying to figure out why some sheet metal pieces @ a company were failing at the weld
[22:07:25] <zeeshan|2> ended up w/ their weld settings were wrong
[22:07:34] <PetefromTn_> to be honest I can weld pretty damn nice in steels and stainless but aluminum is not my strong point.
[22:07:49] <PetefromTn_> I do practice quite a lot on thinner materials.
[22:07:58] <zeeshan|2> i find welding easier on aluminum
[22:07:59] <zeeshan|2> than stainless
[22:08:07] <zeeshan|2> mainly because stainless thin stuff needs back purging

[22:10:19] <zeeshan|2> unless the material is < 30 thou thick
[22:10:27] <zeeshan|2> mostly to stop warping from happening
[22:10:51] <PetefromTn_> I wish my machine had pulsing but honestly I have never met anything that a customer brought me that I could not weld.

[22:15:36] <andypugh> Badly?
[22:15:49] <Tom_itx> :)
[22:15:50] <zeeshan|2> dude that is a big problem in aluminum..
[22:16:13] <zeeshan|2> cause say you're welding .0625" aluminum you'll need to set the welder to 90amps
[22:16:46] <zeeshan|2> and then you go full throuttle at the beginning of the weld and then when you see the weld puddle, you back off to 62.5amps (you can see the right amount to back off in the weld puddle)
[22:17:02] <zeeshan|2> but with an on/off trigger, you'll always be at 90amps, and make a hole
[22:17:02] <PetefromTn_> Yeah I know I do that sometimes... Most pros call it cheating LOL
[22:17:14] <andypugh> This might explain my less-than-stellar performance at welding aluminium.
[22:17:36] <Tom_itx> pulse is very handy for aluminum
[22:18:20] <andypugh> This is about at good as my Alu welding gets: https://picasaweb.google.com/108164504656404380542/HarrisonMill#5901893708289493010
[22:18:44] <andypugh> (I have probably only even tried it about 6 times)
[22:19:23] <andypugh> On some levels I am chuffed that I can weld aluminium at all.
[22:20:36] <Tom_itx> i tried with mig once
[22:20:40] <Tom_itx> not very successful
[22:21:21] <andypugh> I have made parts stick together with MiG. Lots of black soot, puzzlingly.
[22:21:31] <Tom_itx> what gas?
[22:21:39] <Tom_itx> you need pure argon i think
[22:21:47] <Tom_itx> but mine was similar
[22:21:47] <andypugh> I guess that the Alu was reducing the shielding gas (probably CO2 is a bad choice)
[22:22:09] <Tom_itx> it stuck but didn't look very pretty
[22:22:20] <Tom_itx> it was just practice anyway
[22:22:36] <archivist> argon for alu
[22:22:42] <Tom_itx> yep
[22:22:52] <zeeshan|2> i tried using my argon tank with my friends mig welder
[22:22:58] <zeeshan|2> it failed miserably on steel
[22:22:59] <zeeshan|2> lol
[22:23:05] <zeeshan|2> its amazing how much effect the shielding gas has.
[22:23:07] <Tom_itx> you need mix for steel
[22:23:10] <zeeshan|2> yes
[22:23:10] <Tom_itx> or co2
[22:23:11] <andypugh> Yeah, mine survived 5 series of RobotWars. It was a very strange pulley shaped like a top-hat that put the drive belt half way down the motor body.

[22:23:17] <zeeshan|2> 75% co2

[22:24:46] <zeeshan|2> can you check weld welding gas they were using?
[22:24:53] <zeeshan|2> if they're usiing a helium-argon mix
[22:25:06] <zeeshan|2> that might explain why they can get away with a single pass with lower amps
[22:25:26] <PetefromTn_> yeah I can check..
[22:25:37] <PetefromTn_> I THOUGHT he said straight argon tho..
[22:25:38] <zeeshan|2> you get a much hotter arc with helium
[22:25:45] <PetefromTn_> yeah I know.

[22:26:22] <zeeshan|2> pete you know im quite lazy
[22:26:30] <zeeshan|2> when i weld sch 40 stainless piping for exhaust manifolds
[22:26:39] <zeeshan|2> (i believe .105 wall)
[22:26:49] <zeeshan|2> ill just dial the amps to 88
[22:26:52] <zeeshan|2> and weld full throttle
[22:27:05] <zeeshan|2> that way i don't have to back purge it cause it won't penetrate through
[22:27:13] <zeeshan|2> and the back of the weld is protected by a layer of stainless :p
[22:27:43] <PetefromTn_> huh..
[22:27:55] <zeeshan|2> its when it penetrates through
[22:27:57] <zeeshan|2> it starts to sugar
[22:28:09] <zeeshan|2> and make the weld turn grey
[22:28:09] <PetefromTn_> I did some stainless welding for a guy on a beer brewing stand.
[22:28:26] <PetefromTn_> used the schedule 40 piping and fittings.
[22:28:41] <PetefromTn_> It was pretty thick so that was not really a problem.
[22:28:55] <PetefromTn_> He dropped in a couple times while I was working on it and we checked with a mirror.
[22:28:56] <zeeshan|2> well if you set the amps to more than the thickness of the pipe
[22:28:59] <zeeshan|2> itl'll penetrate through
[22:29:10] <zeeshan|2> and sugar if its not back purged
[22:29:42] <PetefromTn_> yeah I know it is time consuming.
[22:30:02] <PetefromTn_> I just use duct tape and make a little hole LOL usually.
[22:30:15] <zeeshan|2> duct tape residue !!!
[22:30:24] <PetefromTn_> yeah ya gotta clean it off..
[22:30:24] <zeeshan|2> aluminum foil works with painters masking tape
[22:30:27] -!- Roland has quit [Quit: Page closed]
[22:30:42] <PetefromTn_> but ya gotta clean the pieces anyways..
[22:30:42] <zeeshan|2> ill try my best to avoid backpurging as much as i can..
[22:30:57] <zeeshan|2> you know color is a bad thing right?
[22:31:00] <zeeshan|2> in a stainless weld
[22:31:25] <zeeshan|2> my friend welds stainless for the food instustry
[22:31:30] <PetefromTn_> I cannot believe how many guys local I know who build jeeps that do not even sand the mill scale off...
[22:31:43] <zeeshan|2> *industry.. they have to remove all color from the pipes
[22:31:49] <zeeshan|2> and smoothen out then weld
[22:31:56] <zeeshan|2> and polish
[22:32:31] <zeeshan|2> http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p252/turbozee84/weld-2.jpg
[22:32:34] <zeeshan|2> ^ guess the weld settings
[22:32:36] <PetefromTn_> I usually use acetone and wipe the welds down and then hit it with a stainless wire brush...
[22:32:47] <zeeshan|2> fillet weld, 1 side is .0625 thick, the other is 3/8 thick
[22:33:05] <andypugh> Is Connor about? (I am not 100% sure that Connor != Zeeshan)
[22:33:07] <PetefromTn_> I love the colors...LOL
[22:33:27] <PetefromTn_> huh?
[22:33:35] <PetefromTn_> Connor is peck drilling LOL...
[22:33:49] <zeeshan|2> andypugh: you called me connor?!?!
[22:33:50] <zeeshan|2> OMG!
[22:34:06] <PetefromTn_> Connor is THE MAN!!
[22:34:22] <PetefromTn_> Zeeshan is.....well... LOL
[22:34:30] <PetefromTn_> ;)
[22:34:32] <zeeshan|2> zeeshan is... depends on the day
[22:34:33] <zeeshan|2> :)
[22:35:28] <zeeshan|2> have you ever fusion welded
[22:35:29] <zeeshan|2> only?
[22:36:05] <andypugh> You mean as opposed to brazing or silver-soldering?
[22:36:05] <PetefromTn_> you mean not adding rod..
[22:36:14] <PetefromTn_> sure..
[22:36:14] <zeeshan|2> yes
[22:36:16] <zeeshan|2> not adding rod
[22:36:20] <zeeshan|2> and just fusing
[22:36:25] <zeeshan|2> andypugh: no still tig
[22:36:42] <PetefromTn_> I have done that for thin stuff sometimes.
[22:36:46] <andypugh> That’t still fusion welding, but is autogenous fusion welding.
[22:37:05] <andypugh> I do it whenever I can, as it’s easier :-)
[22:37:08] <zeeshan|2> http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p252/turbozee84/4g_eclipse/weld.jpg
[22:37:10] <zeeshan|2> not my best stuff
[22:37:12] <zeeshan|2> but thats fusion welded
[22:37:31] <zeeshan|2> works good for intercooler pipes
[22:37:36] <zeeshan|2> that will only at most see 30psi
[22:37:47] <zeeshan|2> and abuse when putting it on/off the car
[22:38:02] <andypugh> I autogenous-welded all the Ti on the RobotWars robot because I couldn’t find Ti fller rod. :-)
[22:38:11] <zeeshan|2> haha
[22:38:18] <zeeshan|2> i've never welded Ti before
[22:38:32] <zeeshan|2> http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p252/turbozee84/4g_eclipse/piping_polished3.jpg
[22:38:40] <zeeshan|2> i like fusion welding cause it makes removing color a lot easier
[22:39:53] <PetefromTn_> http://imagebin.org/304000 that is a HUGE church bell I Tig welded for a local customer.
[22:40:08] <zeeshan|2> that is indeed HUGE
[22:40:09] <zeeshan|2> lol
[22:40:09] <PetefromTn_> The top area is THICK...
[22:40:15] <zeeshan|2> cast iron?
[22:40:21] <PetefromTn_> I had to grind down into it quite a bit.
[22:40:23] <PetefromTn_> Bronze..
[22:40:26] <zeeshan|2> dude
[22:40:29] <zeeshan|2> you shouldnt have returned it.
[22:40:31] <andypugh> I would assume “Bell Metal”
[22:40:32] <zeeshan|2> recycle that shit
[22:40:38] <zeeshan|2> that stuff is worth so much money haha
[22:40:46] <PetefromTn_> then add layers on top of layers.
[22:40:55] <andypugh> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_metal
[22:41:09] <PetefromTn_> had to preheat the crap out of it and then slowly cool it down over a couple hours..
[22:41:16] <zeeshan|2> i dont know why i said cast iron (cast iron would dampen impulses)
[22:41:48] <PetefromTn_> the guy actually brought me the proper rod because when he asked me if I could do it I told him hell no I never welded a church bell before.
[22:42:03] <zeeshan|2> haha
[22:42:10] <andypugh> There is a bell in London with a crack in it. You could offer to fix it. It’s called Big Ben.
[22:42:13] <PetefromTn_> He actually specializes in restoring them..
[22:42:35] <PetefromTn_> He had a special large commercial van with a gantry mounted in it to lift them.
[22:42:41] <zeeshan|2> i know two things that are stupid expensive to weld
[22:42:44] <PetefromTn_> He wanted me to come work for him down in his shop
[22:42:46] <zeeshan|2> inconel and bronze
[22:42:50] <zeeshan|2> and ofcourse copper
[22:42:58] <zeeshan|2> the filler rods are $$$$$$$
[22:43:10] <PetefromTn_> I almost did but he told me the bell work is not consistent.
[22:43:25] <PetefromTn_> I also tig welded a heavy part for his gantry mechanism.
[22:44:05] <PetefromTn_> The funny thing is while that bell was really big he was like laughing at me and said that one is TINY!!
[22:44:14] <zeeshan|2> i honestly refuse any jobs that can hurt someone
[22:44:23] <PetefromTn_> He wanted to bring me one of the big ones but I had no way to move it around the shop.
[22:44:34] <zeeshan|2> if that weld fails, they can sue you for everything you have!
[22:44:37] <PetefromTn_> Yeah me too I refuse to do work on brakes or suspension.
[22:45:07] <zeeshan|2> even though we know how to weld to some degree
[22:45:10] <PetefromTn_> meh actually it rocks inside a large yoke that kinda houses it.
[22:45:10] <zeeshan|2> we don't have our papers.
[22:45:12] <andypugh> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_ben#Great_Bell is quite a big bell.
[22:45:33] <zeeshan|2> andypugh: i've taken a tour inside it :D
[22:45:49] <zeeshan|2> it's huge.
[22:46:01] <andypugh> I have no idea why they traditionally swing the bell rather than move the hammer.
[22:46:05] <PetefromTn_> yeah I don't take on certain work if it could cause injury if anything goes wrong...
[22:46:27] <PetefromTn_> I also do not take on work that I am not fully confident I can do... Except for that bell LOL...
[22:46:28] <andypugh> (Though not in the case of clock bells, as far as I know)
[22:46:38] <zeeshan|2> you guys distract me from doing work
[22:46:41] <zeeshan|2> BACK To the garage!
[22:46:42] <zeeshan|2> :P
[22:47:13] <PetefromTn_> I should get something done in the shop too but I was comfortable on my recliner here LOL...
[22:47:18] <archivist> I was just going to distract you with belfry pictures :)
[22:47:36] <andypugh> I have stood here while this was going on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gNEdsAgmiI
[22:48:32] <PetefromTn_> LOL glad I could inspire some interesting conversation
[22:49:26] <andypugh> Much better sound quality here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjjfJe469As
[22:51:43] <andypugh> archivist: Reading the comments, what do they mean by “ringing down to a 10” ?
[22:52:47] <archivist> you need to ask a bell ringer they have some funny terms

[23:49:59] <andypugh> I have no idea
[23:50:30] <Tom_itx> “

[23:51:32] <andypugh> I am using Unicode (UTF-8)
[23:51:33] <XXCoder1> tom you might want to change fon
[23:51:36] <Tom_itx> it's likely my client but he's the only one here that looks odd
[23:51:54] <XXCoder1> oh hmm my client hexchat handles unicode just fine
[23:51:57] <andypugh> I am likely to also be the only one using unicode
[23:52:09] <Tom_itx> i'm using mirc here

[23:52:38] -!- Tom_L [Tom_L!~Tom@unaffiliated/toml/x-013812] has joined #linuxcnc
[23:52:40] <XXCoder1> pretty lot more modern thougg but same look and such
[23:52:41] <andypugh> I changed to ASCII. Did it help?
[23:52:49] <XXCoder1> you gonna use " and such
[23:53:00] <Tom_itx> i dunno, try those same characters i posted
[23:53:04] <andypugh> "
[23:53:07] <andypugh> '
[23:53:13] <Tom_itx> looks fine now
[23:53:39] <XXCoder1> xchat is oretty old
[23:53:46] <XXCoder1> some parts of it predate unicode
[23:54:01] <Tom_itx> i'm not sure how to change it in mirc
[23:54:15] <XXCoder1> heh I dont like mirc
[23:54:27] <Tom_itx> i've used it for years
[23:54:32] <andypugh> The problem now is that I can’t talk about my trips to Köln, for example.

[23:55:07] <andypugh> Actually, I probably can, as I think umlaut-o is in Ascii.
[23:56:39] <Tom_itx> xchat handles them fine
[23:56:43] <Tom_itx> just mirc
[23:56:44] <andypugh> I probably can’t spell Encyclopædia correctly any more
[23:57:00] <XXCoder1> tom if you like xchat you'll do great with hexchat
[23:57:07] <XXCoder1> not all that different
