[00:01:20] <Connor_iPad> Started off as a single New Zealand White for sister for Easter or birthday. Both in April.
[00:01:51] <KreAture> I don't do easter stuff
[00:01:52] <Connor_iPad> We had mini lops, New Zealand white, Netherlands dwarfs.
[00:02:01] <KreAture> I adopted these from local shelter though
[00:02:20] <Connor_iPad> This was in the 80's

[00:22:25] <KreAture> microsoft can release it in large format if they chooe
[00:22:33] <KreAture> they have the original 4x6"
[00:22:34] <XXCoder1> guess so, but I doubt it.

[00:47:55] <PetefromTn_> yeah from you about those import mics.
[00:48:20] <zeeshan> well i just did research on them back then and theyre japanese
[00:48:25] <zeeshan> but i wonder if anyone has felt them
[00:48:31] <zeeshan> i sold my starrett outside mics
[00:48:34] <zeeshan> they are garbage
[00:48:51] <zeeshan> the lock mechanism is really odd to engage
[00:49:08] <zeeshan> http://www.ebay.ca/itm/PEACOCK-0-300MM-OUTSIDE-MICROMETER-SET-01MM-GRADS-/261383779025
[00:49:11] <zeeshan> ive been communicating with this guy
[00:49:25] <zeeshan> we've worked out a deal, but i dont know if i should go ahead with it
[00:49:27] <zeeshan> theyre dirt cheap
[00:51:27] <zeeshan> i dont see these micrometers on their website
[00:51:35] <zeeshan> but the actual micrometer says 'japan' on em
[00:52:28] <shaun415> so
[00:52:41] <shaun415> It seems I cant afford to buy a larger lathe, what Is the best mini lathe?
[00:52:58] <PetefromTn_> save your pennies.
[00:53:12] <shaun415> i have no room for anything large
[00:53:16] <zeeshan> shaun415: watch out PetefromTn_ is ruthless when it comes to tiny machinery
[00:53:17] <zeeshan> :D
[00:53:27] * shaun415 fears
[00:54:02] <zeeshan> im gonna skip on these peacocks
[00:54:03] <XXCoder1> shaun you could always do concete lathe like one I linked to lol
[00:54:12] <shaun415> gingery?
[00:54:31] <shaun415> i dont want to mess with that
[00:54:31] <shaun415> lol
[00:55:01] <XXCoder1> lol yeah guessed so
[00:55:12] <XXCoder1> you could always make one lol
[00:55:16] <XXCoder1> some good rails
[00:55:24] <XXCoder1> somehow make ends

[00:56:33] <Tom_itx> yean
[00:56:37] <Tom_itx> yeah*
[00:56:38] <zeeshan> not calipers
[00:56:41] <zeeshan> dial indicators
[00:56:57] <Tom_itx> dunno, i don't own any
[00:57:11] <Tom_itx> the digital height gage was good
[00:57:24] <zeeshan> yea but thsoe are only good for 0.001" resolution
[00:57:45] <shaun415> well bbl
[00:59:06] <XXCoder1> shaun if you had access to some cnc and lathe
[00:59:11] <XXCoder1> you could make lathe lol shaun415

[01:02:10] <zeeshan> haha
[01:02:35] <XXCoder1> wow http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/03/090331153010.htm
[01:06:07] <witnit> you seen the "additive machining" its like a cnc milling machine but also a cnc welder type thing which build up the metal like a printer then mills it to spec
[01:06:17] <zeeshan> http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NDc4WDY0MA==/z/X-MAAOxyaTxTQYA2/$_20.JPG
[01:06:24] <zeeshan> this guy is committing a crime
[01:06:29] <zeeshan> by putting those micromters on a brick floor.
[01:07:43] <XXCoder1> damaging those accuracies eh
[01:07:59] <zeeshan> there is a reason they come in a wooden box with foam
[01:07:59] <zeeshan> :P
[01:09:13] <witnit> you know if you throw 6 inch mics down just right they bounce right back up
[01:09:19] <XXCoder1> well "those was on brick floor, 75% off"
[01:09:24] <zeeshan> haha
[01:09:27] <zeeshan> i wouldnt buy those anyway
[01:09:30] <zeeshan> theyre in really rough condition
[01:09:36] <witnit> maybe
[01:09:47] <witnit> depends on the machinist
[01:09:52] <witnit> they may be just well used
[01:10:27] <zeeshan> no sane machinist would take a pic of them on a brick floor
[01:10:28] <zeeshan> :P
[01:10:34] <witnit> hahhaah

[03:04:18] <zeeshan> not shop vacs!
[03:04:47] <XXCoder1> zeeshan: yeah busy with my fake cnc lol
[03:04:53] <Connor_iPad> Dude. Sometimes. If you have a small workshop. Stuff ends up in strange places.

[03:09:57] <Connor_iPad> That driver board is crap.
[03:10:09] <XXCoder1> of course it is
[03:10:29] <XXCoder1> my plan is to evenually upgrade with http://www.ebay.com/itm/CNC-4-Axis-Driver-2M542-4-2A-Breakout-interface-board-for-Router-system-kit-/250986991782?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a6ffd90a6
[03:10:46] <Connor_iPad> I have a 4 axis version for the router. I changed out the capacitors to reduce stepper hissing.
[03:10:48] <XXCoder1> oh hey it decreased in price. it was 220 or so
[03:13:29] <Connor_iPad> Get the MX3660
[03:13:29] <Connor_iPad> From automation technologies.
[03:13:54] <XXCoder1> few hundred bucks right?
[03:14:02] <Connor_iPad> Yea

[13:13:56] <R2E4_> What are you using for drill tooling?
[13:13:56] <PetefromTn_> I am fine... paying some bills, gonna head to sears to buy some new front drive wheels for my self propelled push mower the ones on it are stripped out.
[13:13:58] -!- acdha has quit [Quit: My MacBook has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…]

[13:14:31] <R2E4_> What toolholder?
[13:14:40] <PetefromTn_> I try to buy norseman brand from Fastenal but most of the ones in my large index are cheapo chinese.
[13:14:56] <PetefromTn_> Er20 or ER32 Cat40 Collet holders.
[13:15:05] <PetefromTn_> depending on drill size.
[13:15:18] <R2E4_> Do you have a drill chuck that fits on the cat40?
[13:15:26] <PetefromTn_> yeah one.
[13:15:27] <R2E4_> or you using collets
[13:15:29] <R2E4_> AH
[13:15:56] <PetefromTn_> ERcollets are quite accurate
[13:16:31] <PetefromTn_> much better than the typical drill chucks. Altho they do make some expensive quality drill chucks.
[13:18:38] <R2E4_> I have a retention stud on my tool holders. You have draw bar or what?
[13:18:46] <PetefromTn_> have you been able to make anything interesting on the machine lately?
[13:19:12] <PetefromTn_> mine uses a retention stud and pneumatic drawbar.
[13:19:30] <R2E4_> I have been testing. Cutting pockets and chamfers and profiles. Just making sure everything is ok.
[13:19:34] <PetefromTn_> just like most VMC's

[13:20:46] <PetefromTn_> Once I get the lawn mowed here today my goal is to finish some machine projects I am working on and then sometime this weekend get that damn encoder mount machined finally.
[13:21:15] <R2E4_> I need to figure out an encoder for my spindle
[13:21:32] <PetefromTn_> I cannot wait to get the toolchanger and rigid tapping working.
[13:21:49] <PetefromTn_> Oh I thought your machine had that built into the motor/drive package?
[13:22:13] <R2E4_> The machine was able to rigid tap and tool change etc.... I am being told with linuxcnc you cant unless you have encoder into Lcnc.
[13:22:33] <R2E4_> IT does have it built in.
[13:22:35] <PetefromTn_> huh I wonder how it was accomplished initially.
[13:23:14] <PetefromTn_> I suppose for LinuxCNC to be able to track the movment it MUST have that feedback.
[13:23:17] <R2E4_> encoder goes directly into spindle drive. Spindle drive outputs analog into old controller and opld controller was able to use that
[13:23:44] <PetefromTn_> aah... Will it be difficult to affix an encoder?
[13:23:47] <R2E4_> I am sure it would work, I just dont know Lcnc enough

[13:24:34] <PetefromTn_> that is exactly like mine...
[13:24:59] <PetefromTn_> Mine had an resolver mounted atop the actual motor and an electric fan built into the cooling enclosure atop that.

[13:26:16] <R2E4_> I have three weeks to put some kind of lock on the machine. The city paid a visit the other day.
[13:26:37] <PetefromTn_> You do not have to take it apart right just remove the fan?
[13:26:45] <PetefromTn_> HUH what do you mean put a lock on it?
[13:27:12] <R2E4_> They said so someone cannot flip the breaker and operate the machine.
[13:27:24] <PetefromTn_> Interesting..
[13:27:37] <PetefromTn_> You intend to put a keylock on it?
[13:27:48] <_methods> did you tell them that you can't stop natural selection?
[13:27:49] <PetefromTn_> My Cincinatti Had a keylock on the control panel
[13:28:02] <R2E4_> I am going to put a biometric fingerprint reader on it....
[13:28:04] <PetefromTn_> it made it impossible to enable the drives.
[13:28:09] <R2E4_> I have a few of them.
[13:28:51] <R2E4_> I could just put a login for linux
[13:28:53] <PetefromTn_> You should have told them that you doubt anyone else could run it as it is on LinuxCNC LOL..
[13:29:31] <R2E4_> no, no I was ok with that. I had one fire extinguisher hidden away in the corner. He didnt see that.
[13:29:41] <R2E4_> HE could have nailed me on a million things.
[13:29:53] <PetefromTn_> Big Brother..
[13:29:56] <_methods> yeah better not to rock the boat with inspectors
[13:30:00] <_methods> just nod and smile
[13:31:16] <R2E4_> HE was really ok, We stood in front of the machine and I showed hi how it worked.... What I rebuilt etc.... He was ok. Kept his interest on the machine. then he left.
[13:32:10] <R2E4_> I think he wants some things machined. I could see his brain burning.

[14:10:43] <Jymmm> I've always had the mindset that when you have to depend on a device, to NOT use rechargeable batteries, especially when in storage for months. But what about Li-Ion batteries (18650, etc), do they have the ability of low internal resistance for 3-6 month storage and reliability vs disposable lithium (CR2 as example) ?
[14:11:06] <_methods> yeah protected 18650
[14:11:18] <Jymmm> why protected?
[14:11:30] <Jymmm> (in this context)
[14:11:35] <_methods> to protect it from over discharge
[14:11:39] <jdh> 3 lights minimum (I take 5) Primary is rechargable. Backups are primary cells with burn time in excess of planned dive time.
[14:11:42] <_methods> if it did discharge
[14:12:27] <Jymmm> _methods: I'm not talking safety, just reliability when stored and needed. In this case is a rail light.

[14:14:24] <_methods> not sure what you mean ?
[14:14:43] <Jymmm> CR2 (disposable) vs 15270 (rechargeable)
[14:15:00] <_methods> oh the rechargeables
[14:15:08] <_methods> you could use them unprotected if you wanted to

[15:07:33] <Connor> It'll be a tad harder to wire it up with the Wall Wart..
[15:07:35] <witnit> you can control it with the machine or add a switch to turn it on so that way you can clean of flush parts whether you actually are using the machine or not
[15:07:43] <witnit> or*
[15:08:05] <Connor> SSR would have to go inline on the 120v side.. which means putting the Wall Wart and SSR in enclosure and running another 120v line..

[15:12:44] <witnit> <R2E4_> IS it a low voltage input to turn the pump on or is it 120 v it needs?
[15:12:52] <witnit> you missed that
[15:12:54] <Connor> As I was saying.. I have 3 120v coming into the enclosure.. 1 for the PC PSU. 1 for the Spindle, and 1 for the Stepper PSU.
[15:12:54] <witnit> I Think
[15:13:15] <Connor> pport can toggle SSR or a TIP120
[15:13:29] <Connor> 12v for pump..
[15:14:13] <Connor> I might be able to tap the 120v on the stepper PSU..
[15:14:43] <Connor> and wire in a SSR and Wall Wart brick..

[15:14:51] <witnit> well if you already have a hardline in, and it always active just hook your ssr there and run the 12v line back to the pump with you stuff in any one
[15:15:15] <witnit> of the enclosures
[15:15:20] <Jymmm> jdh: Interesting read on TYPES of Li-Ion... http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?325456-What-exactly-does-quot-IMR-quot-mean
[15:15:21] <R2E4_> SSR's usually are low voltage to energize 6-30v. Put the SSR in the vicinity of your pump and switch the power.

[15:15:39] <witnit> can ytou use that?
[15:15:48] <Connor> the SSR I have is 3-30V on the input side. 120v AC on the output side.

[16:01:02] <Jymmm> and I've ALWAYS had an obsession with light in general
[16:01:17] <shaun415> goodmorning
[16:02:47] <Jymmm> Connor: Hell, I've even worked for a R&D company that grows lasers
[16:03:17] <Connor> Oh. okay.
[16:04:02] <Jymmm> Connor: Did you see my latest find?
[16:04:08] <Connor> I dunno.
[16:04:30] <Jymmm> Connor: 20,000 lumen http://www.kaidomain.com/product/details.S023130#
[16:05:07] <Connor> What in the heck would someone need something like that for? To blind them ?
[16:05:43] <Jymmm> SAR, Marine, Sporting, etc
[16:06:44] <Jymmm> You get in the middle of BFE, you dont realize how dark it is with a "typical" flashlight.
[16:08:39] <Jymmm> Before LED flashlights, I have a 2,000,000 candlepower spotlight I plug into the cigar lighter. At dusk I was searching for a lost bird in trees, roofs, etc while driving down the street. It was barely enough light to see anything significantly.
[16:09:02] <Jymmm> ...at a distance that is.
[16:09:17] <Connor> and that's the other thing.. lumen vs candlepower..
[16:09:41] <Connor> how does 2M candle power compare to 20K lumen ?
[16:10:41] <Jymmm> It doesn't, not even close =)
[16:11:03] <Jymmm> “Lumen” is the unit of total light output from a light source.
[16:11:07] <Connor> They're different measurements.. how do you COMPARE them ?
[16:11:12] <Jymmm> “Candlepower” is a measure of lighting concentration in a light beam.
[16:11:17] <Jymmm> Connor: You don't.
[16:11:30] -!- toner [toner!~ink@c-50-150-125-200.hsd1.ca.comcast.net] has joined #linuxcnc
[16:12:32] <Jymmm> Connor: The official unit of candlepower is the “candela,” which is equal to one lumen per steradian. (A steradian is a fraction of the surface area of a sphere that is equal to the square of the radius divided by the total surface area. This is approximately 8% of the total surface area.) This term is rarely used in practical work.

[17:15:15] <zeeshan> height gauges are typically 0.001" resolution
[17:15:21] <zeeshan> so its okay to have digital encoders on it in my opinion

[17:40:21] <witnit> I may buy things from you or trade for like... I dunno an arbor press
[17:40:28] <zeeshan> haha
[17:40:31] <witnit> :)
[17:40:44] <zeeshan> starting tonight, no more tool buying
[17:40:50] <zeeshan> its back to converting lathe to cnc
[17:40:56] <zeeshan> im so close to getting it moving
[17:40:59] <witnit> same with me tomorrow
[17:41:13] <witnit> must do up my dsm-a
[17:41:20] <witnit> that will be such a fun build
[17:41:26] <zeeshan> dsm-a?
[17:41:31] <zeeshan> diamond star motors? :P
[17:41:38] <witnit> noooo
[17:41:44] <witnit> look up hardinge dsm-a
[17:41:51] <witnit> it has hydraulic slides :P
[17:41:59] <zeeshan> oo turrent lathe
[17:42:02] <witnit> yes
[17:42:37] <witnit> http://www.superiormachinery.com/display_machine.php?ref=5061&wc=22#captcha
[17:42:44] <witnit> there are good pictures there I think
[17:43:21] <witnit> imchanging the turret out for a gange style XY
[17:43:40] <zeeshan> are you converting that to cnc?
[17:43:43] <witnit> yah
[17:43:51] -!- GuShH_ has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[17:43:57] <witnit> but the slides will stay hydraulic with pneumatic return
[17:44:03] <zeeshan> interesting

[17:44:31] <zeeshan> lol
[17:44:42] <zeeshan> 220v 3 phase
[17:44:45] <zeeshan> you're putting a vfd on it?
[17:45:00] <witnit> no, it has a reverse and brake already via relays
[17:45:04] <witnit> and spindle speed change
[17:45:12] <zeeshan> ah

[19:12:58] <Jymmm> Can anyone thik of a way to make an adapter that I could use for Li-Ion batteries (it uses Ni-Cad)
[19:13:17] <Jymmm> primarily the contacts and alignment
[19:14:06] <_methods> looks like 3 cells stacked in series
[19:14:40] <Jymmm> _methods: Again... you hit the wrong subject. Dont care about the electronics, just the mechanical
[19:14:43] <_methods> i'm guessing there's a wire in there coming from neg back to that cap
[19:15:40] <_methods> just take the cap of that
[19:15:42] <_methods> or copy it
[19:15:49] <Jymmm> copy it how?
[19:15:54] <_methods> use the same design and stick a liion in there
[19:16:04] <Jymmm> what materials?
[19:16:14] <Jymmm> how to insulate them?
[19:16:40] <_methods> well with no dimensions it's hard to say
[19:16:51] <_methods> all i have is a picture to look at
[19:17:08] <Jymmm> dims are irrelevant
[19:17:11] <_methods> but from what i can see it looks like 3 subc cells in parallel
[19:17:21] <_methods> in seriies
[19:17:25] <_methods> not parallel
[19:17:59] <_methods> how can dims be irrelevant
[19:18:06] <_methods> that determines what fits in there
[19:18:54] -!- shurshur has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[19:21:38] <XXCoder1> only max dims matter
[19:21:38] <_methods> but anyways mechanically you just need 2 contacts insulated from each other
[19:21:47] <_methods> run a wire to the center contact
[19:21:57] <_methods> make a disk out of delrin
[19:22:01] <XXCoder1> if regular AA is smaller you could make adoptor or something
[19:22:02] <_methods> or some other insulater
[19:22:50] -!- mhaberler has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[19:23:20] <Jymmm> What contact material? How do you insulate them? How do you align them during assembly? How do you fasten the contacts together? How to connect the wiring?
[19:25:37] <Jymmm> those are the quesitons I've been trying to figure out in a simplistic manner.
[19:26:16] <_methods> ok
[19:26:18] <_methods> one sec
[19:26:50] <_methods> make a puck like this out of and insulator (i.e. rubber, delrin)

[19:27:35] <_methods> now you have 2 contact points
[19:27:37] <_methods> on same side
[19:27:50] <Jymmm> contact material?
[19:27:50] <_methods> insulated from each other

[19:28:06] <_methods> copper
[19:28:08] <_methods> gold
[19:28:10] <Jymmm> not steel, rusts.

[19:32:48] <Jymmm> If I make a flat delrin disc, get a SS screw and thread the center of the disc for the center contact, then
[19:33:13] <_methods> now you're using your noodle
[19:33:26] <Jymmm> a ss washer for the outside, I could just thread two more holes and attach the wire there
[19:33:34] <Jymmm> as well as use them for mounting

[19:37:02] <XXCoder1> strip to - side, tiny adoptor at +?
[19:37:05] <_methods> probably be easier to find
[19:37:11] <_methods> yeah
[19:37:17] <_methods> strip runs up side
[19:37:18] <XXCoder1> you'd be careful to surround + dample but somehow isyulate
[19:37:23] <_methods> that's hwo they do it in those packs
[19:37:40] <XXCoder1> maybe as simple as paint? lol
[19:37:44] <_methods> you can get thin nickel strip to run up the side of the battery pack
[19:38:01] <_methods> they sell insulated nickel strips for that purpose i believe
[19:38:07] <_methods> like magnet wire
[19:38:08] <XXCoder1> cool
[19:38:18] <_methods> you just clean off the ends b efore you solder them
[19:38:21] <XXCoder1> if has cnc can always mill out of thin nickel sheet lol

[19:57:20] <shaun416> Even the tooling on the desktop ones are pricy though
[19:59:40] <XXCoder1> yeah. what machines does you have already though?
[19:59:57] <XXCoder1> too bad its not a lathe. you can make most machines out of lathe
[20:01:07] <shaun416> i have no real machines

[20:01:36] <XXCoder1> for toolmaking anyway
[20:01:40] <shaun416> fun toys though

[20:03:37] <shaun416> idk...
[20:03:57] <shaun416> its a 3.5x17

[20:04:59] <shaun416> ?
[20:05:07] <shaun416> dont think so
[20:05:11] <XXCoder1> so it can hold material much longer than lathe
[20:05:19] <shaun416> dont believe so
[20:05:50] <XXCoder1> no such thing as 8020 project for lathe, I looked.

[20:06:38] <shaun416> http://www.sherline.com/4400pg.htm
[20:07:16] <shaun416> it has a through hole through the spindle im told
[20:07:35] <XXCoder1> limited size
[20:07:39] <shaun416> indeed
[20:07:47] <shaun416> its meant for model engineering

[20:08:07] <XXCoder1> 17 on long thickness 3.5 dim
[20:08:13] <shaun416> yes
[20:08:15] <XXCoder1> pretty small
[20:08:23] <shaun416> can only through feed aboout 3/8th
[20:08:24] <XXCoder1> fun maybe lol but too expensive for me
[20:08:28] <shaun416> I agree
[20:08:35] <_methods> yeah it has 10mm spindle bore
[20:08:37] <shaun416> Id much prefer an old southbend or something
[20:08:48] <shaun416> but I cant find any
[20:08:48] <XXCoder1> maybe you can get lucky with college
[20:08:55] <shaun416> and dont know what to look for
[20:09:06] <XXCoder1> I once saw GIANT lathe left alone for years at college I attended
[20:09:15] <XXCoder1> probably would sell for couple thousand
[20:09:28] <_methods> a school is your best bet
[20:09:31] <XXCoder1> would need massive repairs
[20:09:33] <_methods> and will cost you nothing
[20:09:38] <XXCoder1> well
[20:09:42] <XXCoder1> besides fuel and time yes
[20:09:55] <shaun416> I have a school
[20:10:01] <shaun416> the shop is always being used
[20:10:03] <XXCoder1> if you cant afford gas you shouldnt buy a lathe ;)
[20:10:12] <shaun416> I share it with 60k students...
[20:10:24] <_methods> 60k students?
[20:10:29] <shaun416> Ive tried. tools are never available...

[20:11:01] <_methods> hrmm
[20:11:06] <humble_sea_bass> what
[20:11:13] <humble_sea_bass> 4000?
[20:11:16] <XXCoder1> thats huge

[20:11:20] <_methods> that's a lot of engineers
[20:11:23] <shaun416> and then try to use it
[20:11:25] <XXCoder1> college I went barely had 10 lol

[20:11:30] <humble_sea_bass> not in my america
[20:11:39] <XXCoder1> actually 40 or so, I thinj. I wasnt one of em

[20:15:04] <humble_sea_bass> shaun416: join SAE, http://rfr.rutgers.edu/
[20:15:10] <humble_sea_bass> it will change your fucking life
[20:15:11] <shaun416> :/
[20:15:28] * shaun416 is not a social guy
[20:15:33] <humble_sea_bass> trust me they can get you in front of any machine tool with the quickness
[20:15:44] <shaun416> Oh RFR
[20:15:46] <shaun416> NO WAY
[20:15:51] <humble_sea_bass> SEA isn't social, it is about spergin on a car
[20:15:51] <shaun416> Im not doing that
[20:15:56] <shaun416> I hate people in that club
[20:16:17] <humble_sea_bass> hate is a strong word
[20:16:20] <shaun416> good
[20:16:59] <shaun416> some people are very annoying
[20:17:03] <shaun416> did you go to RU?
[20:17:31] <humble_sea_bass> no, I dated someone there though, she was a landscape architect
[20:17:37] <shaun416> i see
[20:17:43] <_methods> oh a pot head lol
[20:17:44] <humble_sea_bass> I was across the river in manhattan
[20:18:12] <shaun416> I want to lathe to make products
[20:18:14] <shaun416> to sell
[20:18:25] <shaun416> Cant really use school equip regurally for that
[20:18:30] <humble_sea_bass> anyways, don't let your social anxieties keep you from learning some shit
[20:18:34] <shaun416> Im also 30 min away... and dont live there
[20:19:25] <humble_sea_bass> you can get the prototyping done for free at school, then move on to buying your own equiptment
[20:19:37] <shaun416> I dont need to prototype...
[20:19:37] <_methods> ^^
[20:19:42] <shaun416> I have a design
[20:19:53] <humble_sea_bass> you're not the only shady guy who has used school equipment to make money
[20:20:12] <shaun416> I dont want to do it because its not convenient
[20:20:21] <shaun416> Its too far away to go everday
[20:20:23] <humble_sea_bass> well then, you should go on shark tank
[20:22:14] <_methods> hell if you have a proven design take it to a real shop
[20:22:27] <_methods> have them makeit for you until you can buy your own equipment
[20:22:30] <shaun416> meh
[20:22:31] <humble_sea_bass> ^^ truth ^^
[20:22:40] <shaun416> Id rather make it myself...
[20:23:12] <humble_sea_bass> having an autism attack over the *perfect* machine is moot because you'll never find it
[20:23:22] <shaun416> I see
[20:24:09] <shaun416> so lets focus on finding a lathe...
[20:24:14] <humble_sea_bass> there are limitiations, be they money, weight, space etc -- engineering is about threading the needle of your boundary conditions
[20:24:23] <shaun416> Yes
[20:24:28] <shaun416> I cant have one too big
[20:24:36] <shaun416> tabletop is my only option really
[20:25:01] <shaun416> as much as I want a monarch10ee
[20:25:35] <humble_sea_bass> smart money says find a tabletop, one that doesn't belong to you, and see if you can make your part in a reasonable amount of time, with reasonable quality outcomes
[20:25:46] <shaun416> I see
[20:25:56] <shaun416> meh
[20:25:57] <_methods> go to your local hackerspace
[20:26:06] <_methods> someone there may have a machine meeting your specs
[20:26:08] <shaun416> if i buy from CL
[20:26:13] <humble_sea_bass> and if you can do that with that lathe, then spend the money, if not you bought a fucktarded lathe that doesn't meet your needs
[20:26:13] <shaun416> it didnt belong to me
[20:26:31] <shaun416> thats why Im asking eperineced people what to buy
[20:26:57] <humble_sea_bass> find one you can use for a prototype run, to see if it will work at reasonable quality/speed to justify the cost
[20:27:07] <humble_sea_bass> I can almost assure you it won't
[20:27:17] <shaun416> heh?
[20:27:23] <humble_sea_bass> but if you're just looking to learn
[20:27:45] <shaun416> I dont care if it takes 3hrs to make one

[20:55:16] <shaun416> Im thinking I may need something larger
[20:55:27] <shaun416> I mean,, making parts for cars and such seems fun
[20:57:34] <Connor> for $1k your not going to get much bigger unless you go used.
[20:57:41] <_methods> wow that micromark is kinda nice
[20:57:51] <_methods> got halfnut too?
[20:58:09] <Connor> all the 7x do. they can all thread
[20:58:13] <_methods> nice
[20:58:27] <Connor> that one is just higher quality than the grizzly and harbor freight models.
[20:58:33] <_methods> yeah
[20:58:44] <_methods> i just got an x2 to convert
[20:58:48] <shaun416> hmm

[21:37:08] <shaun416> idk?
[21:37:22] <shaun416> thought you were talking.
[21:37:44] <jdh> they are mostly all made in teh same factory. Some spec better quality perhaps.
[21:38:02] <jdh> but, if you tear them down and clean them yourself, they are about the same.
[21:38:12] <shaun416> I see...
[21:38:26] <jdh> I paid $239 new for a HF 7x lathe. I'd rather have that than nothing.
[21:38:26] <shaun416> so a 400 dollar hf is just as good as a 1000 ?
[21:39:08] <jdh> one you have is better than one you wish you had.
[21:39:26] <jdh> a 7x lathe is better than nothing.
[21:39:38] <shaun416> yes
[21:39:44] <shaun416> some may say its not though
[21:39:45] <jdh> the LMS one is much bigger.
[21:39:55] <jdh> (longer)
[21:39:58] <shaun416> no its a 7x
[21:40:01] <shaun416> 7x16
[21:40:10] <jdh> it is 8 inches longer than the cheap HF one
[21:40:18] <shaun416> Ah
[21:40:25] <shaun416> but it must be lower quality?
[21:40:50] <jdh> arguing quality on various 7x lathes is kind of pointless
[21:41:09] <jdh> yes, it is probably lower quality as shipped, but it's not like either of them is good.
[21:41:10] <shaun416> ?

[21:46:44] <Jymmm> andypugh: ah =)
[21:47:12] <andypugh> Actually, mine is a 9x, but that just means a thicker foot on the tailstock really.

[21:47:24] <Connor> MM is the ONLY one that has a 7x16
[21:47:25] <andypugh> The bed is even more “too narrow”

[21:52:05] <shaun416> OK
[21:52:07] <Connor> or http://www.grizzly.com/products/8-x-16-Variable-Speed-Lathe/G0768
[21:52:08] <shaun416> where....
[21:52:11] <andypugh> Ad preferably something made in the 1960s.
[21:52:30] <shaun416> yes
[21:52:34] <shaun416> can I get it cheaper/
[21:52:37] <shaun416> under 1000?
[21:52:41] <shaun416> 500 or so :p?

[21:56:34] <Einar> I second that. It is probably not possible to wear a Hardinge down to the quality level of a chinese lathe.
[21:59:08] <shaun416> WAY to big
[21:59:13] <andypugh> There is a lot here, and the price is right at the moment: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Southbend-Lathe-9-Accessories-Attachments-Extra-Headstock-Motor-NO-RESERVE-/400691871513?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d4b18bf19

[22:30:48] <shaun416> how do you measure on that?
[22:31:18] <andypugh> It’s quite old, flat-belt drive is pretty old-school. But the good thing is that they weren’t afaid to put metal in things back then.
[22:32:09] <shaun416> Yeah...
[22:32:28] <shaun416> is that easy to clean up?

[22:33:22] <andypugh> It might be one of these: http://www.lathes.co.uk/southbend9-inch/index.html
[22:34:02] <shaun416> I mean could I easily restore it?
[22:34:16] <andypugh> It look sprety clean. The slides look encouragingly clean. The paint would probably clean up with a bit of white spirit on a rag.
[22:34:36] <shaun416> hm ok
[22:34:59] <andypugh> The handles are shiny too. I think it has been in use weeks ago at the most.
[22:35:37] <shaun416> Hmm
[22:35:40] <shaun416> interesting
[22:36:18] <andypugh> That stand at the back looks like the one here: http://www.lathes.co.uk/southbend9-inch/page9.html
[22:36:31] <shaun416> missing some parts

[22:37:31] <_methods> those are great lathes
[22:37:33] <shaun416> part in the front right

[22:37:50] <andypugh> The screwcutting box was an option, it looks like the eBay one never had one.
[22:37:51] <shaun416> this?
[22:38:09] <shaun416> Can I make it look like that...
[22:38:17] <shaun416> Looks a bit rsuty
[22:38:20] <shaun416> rusty
[22:38:56] <andypugh> I think it would clean up.
[22:39:08] <shaun416> hm
[22:39:11] <shaun416> is it electric??

[22:47:21] <shaun416> how do you measure
[22:47:50] <_methods> heh
[22:47:56] <_methods> with an indicator and a magnet
[22:48:14] <shaun416> hmmm...
[22:48:15] <_methods> like a boss
[22:48:24] <shaun416> that seems bad
[22:48:27] <shaun416> less accurate
[22:48:32] <_methods> what?
[22:48:34] <shaun416> idk
[22:48:39] <_methods> less accurate than a dial indicator lol
[22:48:43] <shaun416> Idk
[22:48:44] <andypugh> There are dials, but they are quite small.
[22:49:02] <_methods> mighty mag and a 6" dial
[22:49:06] <_methods> get to work
[22:49:07] <andypugh> One drawback of the older lathes.
[22:49:11] <shaun416> ?
[22:49:23] <shaun416> I dont want to spend too much....
[22:49:28] <shaun416> I need it to be precise too
[22:49:38] <_methods> you're in the wrong hobby then
[22:49:46] <_methods> go try squash
[22:49:50] <shaun416> not a hobby
[22:49:50] <_methods> or badminton
[22:49:56] <shaun416> trying to make it a business
[22:49:56] <andypugh> I reckon that the old SB will be more precise than the Chinese thing.
[22:50:16] <_methods> 1000x more precise
