[00:11:12] <somenewguy_bu> what are your guys thoughts on the std ngcgui samples in linuxCNC? I am writing my own library as I need them, and most are pretty generic. I am going to post a link in the forum tonight, but do you think its worth trying to incorperate them into the main repo?

[00:12:00] <somenewguy_bu> personally I'd rather keep mine seperate and not have to worry about conforming to proper use of a real repo and just let ppl pull and contribute to my repo, but otoh fragmentation is what is always killing open projects

[00:16:15] <Noxz> alright, back to the floorboards...
[00:17:09] <Noxz> I'm essentially looking for either some 80/20 that will work, or something that I can bolt ontop of it (the orirignal plan was a sheet/plate ontop of some, maybe with some holes drilled in)
[00:18:33] <andypugh> Noxz: Did you see my link?
[00:18:43] <Noxz> Yes
[00:18:55] <Noxz> it's just in GBP not USD ;)
[00:18:59] <andypugh> And in what way was that not perfect?
[00:19:21] <andypugh> Yes. But I imagine the stuff is also on sale in the US>

[00:19:41] <Noxz> yeah, something similar..
[00:20:07] <Noxz> maybe something like this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/80-20-Inc-T-Slot-25mm-x-12-5mm-Aluminum-Extrusion-25-Series-25-2514-x-1220mm-N-/370806724134?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5655cd9626

[00:21:10] <MrHindsight> somenewguy: over 100 messages a week, sometimes >200
[00:22:11] <humble_sea_bass> Noxz: that extrusion shape looks sub-optimal
[00:22:33] <Noxz> the tabletop in the size I want is a decent $420: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CNC-Router-Extruded-Aluminum-T-Slot-Table-surface-3-W-x-4-L-/290747212696?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43b1e26398
[00:23:06] <humble_sea_bass> $420 bux? I'll take that as a sign. get it
[00:23:26] <Noxz> I guess it'snot too outrageous of a price..
[00:23:38] <Noxz> I wonder if I can build my own, though
[00:24:04] <humble_sea_bass> you always can, trade money for time etc etc
[00:24:29] -!- NickParker-LCNC has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[00:24:30] <humble_sea_bass> that and being blessed with knowing where to get things for a decent pric3e
[00:24:37] <Noxz> the project has been delayed for quite some time already....
[00:25:32] <MrHindsight> Noxz: that profile is for decorative uses and machine guards, not structure
[00:26:06] <Noxz> which profile?
[00:26:17] <MrHindsight> http://www.ebay.com/itm/80-20-Inc-T-Slot-25mm-x-12-5mm-Aluminum-Extrusion-25-Series-25-2514-x-1220mm-N-/370806724134?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5655cd9626
[00:26:21] <humble_sea_bass> work holding is one of those unsexy steps that has been solved several times over
[00:26:26] <Noxz> the 80/20
[00:27:05] <andypugh> MrHindsight: His second option is being sold as a router table profile.
[00:27:48] <Noxz> hah, just read shipping on that, $108, so it bumps it up to nearly $550.. again, worth it for the time and such
[00:27:51] <andypugh> looks like T-slots held down by U-shapes.
[00:28:19] <andypugh> I think I have seen cheaper, but that does look usefuly modular.
[00:28:49] <MrHindsight> I need to start importing steel t-slot tables

[00:34:27] <LatheBuilder> Hello, starting in on my first retrofit. Have been lurking for ~4 years reading the mailing list. Just checking in to get acquainted. (First time irc user, semi experienced linux user)
[00:34:43] <MrHindsight> LatheBuilder: welcome
[00:34:47] <Tom_itx> 4 years!
[00:34:49] <Noxz> 'coolant type' that means what precisly?
[00:34:51] <Tom_itx> heh
[00:34:53] <humble_sea_bass> LatheBuilder: fuck man, 4 years
[00:34:56] <humble_sea_bass> that's dedication
[00:35:18] <LatheBuilder> ya, I take too long to read up on everything before I start
[00:35:24] <LatheBuilder> !
[00:35:31] <andypugh> What are you retrofitting?
[00:35:39] <Tom_itx> i sorta have been too... since it was just released from a Govt project
[00:35:40] <LatheBuilder> VMC,
[00:35:41] <XXCoder> hguessing from nick, lathe?
[00:36:06] <MrHindsight> too obvious
[00:36:31] <andypugh> My next retrofit will probably be a lathe.
[00:36:32] <LatheBuilder> 3 axis, vfd spindle, drawbar, oiler, coolant. Mesa 5i25 + 7i77. keeping existing servos/drives/vfd
[00:36:51] <andypugh> Sounds like at least a week’s work :-)
[00:36:58] <LatheBuilder> 0-10vdc signals for axis' and vfd control
[00:37:25] <LatheBuilder> grin. building my rpc took easily 10 times longer than it should have
[00:37:35] <humble_sea_bass> i was actually feeling 10 kinds of feelings about the 7i77 today and how I should befriend it
[00:37:46] <MrHindsight> Noxz: are you anywhere near grand rapids mi?
[00:38:14] <andypugh> Time I climbed the wooden hills. See ye tomorrow.
[00:38:23] -!- andypugh has quit [Quit: andypugh]
[00:38:35] <Noxz> MrHindsight: I used to live in Ohio.. but moved out to California (silicon valley) a year ago
[00:38:57] <humble_sea_bass> Noxz: check http://www.govliquidation.com/
[00:39:12] <humble_sea_bass> there are several military bases in the area that are closing
[00:39:21] <LatheBuilder> Noxz >> how do you like the valley?
[00:39:22] <humble_sea_bass> and have great stuff for sale
[00:39:39] <Noxz> LatheBuilder: weather is great ;)
[00:40:29] <LatheBuilder> that's what I hear! what interests me more about the area is the number of similar minded people. Lots of enthusiasts in sv?
[00:40:46] <Noxz> indeed
[00:41:09] <Noxz> but, it's a little strange that everyone you bump into is NOT in the tech industry
[00:41:22] <Noxz> once you get past that, it's just an abnormal amount, but still almost rare
[00:41:23] <LatheBuilder> percentage that big?
[00:41:35] <MrHindsight> http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fixture-Jig-Plate-/161256197651
[00:42:06] <humble_sea_bass> that looks like mechanical mine sweeper
[00:42:53] -!- asdfasd has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[00:42:53] <Noxz> what if I laid out a bumch of 80/20 underneath a flat panel, and had some predrilled holes for holding shit
[00:43:38] <LatheBuilder> sry, don't have the chat history. What are you building Noxz/
[00:43:43] <humble_sea_bass> you can 8020 it, but rigidity will be sub optimal
[00:44:54] <Noxz> LatheBuilder: a mill, with 80/20 as the structure.. I am trying to figure out the floorboard situation
[00:45:17] -!- JT-Shop has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds]
[00:45:38] <LatheBuilder> have a weight limit? IE: top floor of an apartment vs 12" concrete floor under you

[00:45:55] -!- JT-Shop [JT-Shop!~john@184.63.135.203] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:45:57] <Noxz> yeah, top floor..
[00:46:13] <Noxz> but it's also a loft, so I have two stories.. and I may put the mill upstairs (bedroom) because fo space situation
[00:46:17] <MrHindsight> maybe granite epoxy T-slot tables
[00:46:29] <Noxz> although I do not want metal fillings near where I sleep
[00:46:33] <humble_sea_bass> they have those?
[00:47:09] <MrHindsight> DIY wouldn't be too difficult, the most difficult would be surfacing the top after cure
[00:47:25] <Noxz> planing it?
[00:47:29] <humble_sea_bass> http://www.cnccookbook.com/CCMillEpoxyFill.htm
[00:47:33] <LatheBuilder> I built an horizontal mill out of large structural tube a while back. Kept it in the living room because the chips were mean. Lathe was in the bedroom because space and kinder chips...
[00:47:36] <humble_sea_bass> west systems to the rescue
[00:47:41] <MrHindsight> but maybe doing it the cylinder head on glass with sandpaper way
[00:48:19] <MrHindsight> west is too expensive, epoxy is only ~$4/lb in bulk
[00:48:43] <MrHindsight> 1L = ~1Kg
[00:49:05] <Noxz> I guess I should think about collant too?
[00:49:13] <Noxz> that may dictate how the table is put together
[00:49:26] <MrHindsight> but the composite is usually a 20% epoxy to 80% aggregate
[00:49:46] <LatheBuilder> how about prebuilt xy table from enco as base? or are you wanting more of a cnc router type layout? big flat bed
[00:50:04] <Noxz> yeah, more for routing
[00:50:44] <MrHindsight> maybe just a steel t-slot top with epoxy granite base molded into it DIY
[00:51:09] <MrHindsight> then aluminum would work as well
[00:51:19] <LatheBuilder> slat construction might be worth your time looking at. think built-up I-beams layed side by side.
[00:51:47] <MrHindsight> I should build one as an example and show the flexural strength
[00:51:59] <LatheBuilder> what's available surplus in the area? Imagine there should be lots for the picking
[00:53:44] <Noxz> I wish onlinemetals.com had t slot
[00:53:51] <humble_sea_bass> i told him to get his ass over to govliquidation.com since there are lots of bases in cali
[00:53:58] <somenewguy_bu> is that what thsoe welding tables go for? man if my fly by night welding hadn't dried up, I woulda bought one of those ages ago
[00:53:59] <humble_sea_bass> in the SF area
[00:54:04] <MrHindsight> http://www.quietelectronics.com/Missouri-/New-/Cnc-router-aluminum-t-slot-table-top-image_photos.jpg and cast this into epoxy granite

[00:55:24] <humble_sea_bass> CaptHindsight: West Systems is crazy expensive, but available in midtown manhattan. Any thoughts on http://www.uscomposites.com/
[00:55:31] <MrHindsight> Noxz: those flex quite a but in the 25mm direction
[00:55:37] <LatheBuilder> instead of planing after cure, how about individual "T"'s adjustable with grub screws? Have built machines too big to fit on a mill table that way. True up your surface with many adjustment screws after casting the base.
[00:55:38] <XXCoder> humble_sea_bass: interesting link
[00:55:39] <Noxz> would require ~12 or so for a 36" wide structure
[00:55:56] <Noxz> $325 plus some combined shipping
[00:55:59] <MrHindsight> humble_sea_bass: I buy it by the 200kg drum
[00:56:27] <humble_sea_bass> pfft never needed more than a gallon at a time so we're working at different scales here
[00:56:41] <MrHindsight> well I actually buy the components by the drum and mix my own

[00:58:15] <MrHindsight> http://www.uscomposites.com/ is $75/gal
[00:58:42] <LatheBuilder> cool. been following the liquid resin 3dp scene closely.
[00:58:43] <MrHindsight> a gal is ~12 lbs so not too far from $50 cost
[00:58:43] <Noxz> MrHindsight: anything with PTFE in it? I'm a fan of that stuff
[00:59:26] <LatheBuilder> high speed converting operations with uv cure a big slice of your biz?
[00:59:39] <MrHindsight> Noxz: all kinds of formulations, carbon fiber, ptfe, silicas, metals, whatever
[01:00:13] <Noxz> I used to be a mechanic at a bicycle shop too.. so plenty of carbon fiber (final product) have I seen
[01:00:14] <MrHindsight> mostly additive manufacturing now
[01:00:30] <MrHindsight> UV or visible light cured
[01:00:48] <humble_sea_bass> I used to silk screen back in the day, there are surprisingly few ink/epoxy manufacturers for tha biz
[01:01:08] <MrHindsight> even resins for repairing broken sewers and pipes
[01:01:30] <Noxz> hrrrm
[01:01:35] <MrHindsight> yeah, very proprietary
[01:01:55] <MrHindsight> prepreg wrapped inflatable bladders
[01:02:15] <MrHindsight> stuff them into a broken pipe, UV cure, good as new for 40 years
[01:03:07] <Noxz> awesome
[01:03:34] <LatheBuilder> very clever. I'd like to build a shop that way - collapsible geodesic dome with prepreg cloth covering. Inflate and cure...skylights for everyone!
[01:03:53] <humble_sea_bass> my college senior design project was based on polymer impregnated vectran
[01:03:54] <Noxz> I want a tree house
[01:04:06] <LatheBuilder> been following the b9creator?

[01:04:35] <somenewguy_bu> magic, I saw a cement tent built like u said lathebuilder
[01:04:55] <MrHindsight> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UXthJMd4gg
[01:05:08] <somenewguy_bu> pump some kind of impregnated bladder of cloth and cement w/ water, and it inflates into a massive freakin tent, door alreadybuilt in
[01:05:16] <LatheBuilder> that's what made me think of this. =)
[01:05:43] <humble_sea_bass> LatheBuilder: that was actually close to what my project for school was, we did it in conjunction with Nattic Army base or whatecver
[01:05:56] <humble_sea_bass> they are the ones who handle logistics
[01:06:05] <LatheBuilder> sea bass >> does vectran wet out pretty ywell?
[01:07:26] <humble_sea_bass> not really, it is actually annoying as hell to work with
[01:07:36] <LatheBuilder> spendy too?
[01:08:02] <humble_sea_bass> Natic Army base provided the material so we were like "yeah send more"

[01:23:41] <Noxz> not that I require coolant jsut yet, but htinking for the future

[01:24:20] <LatheBuilder> think ducting and spash guards. particularly for router speeds tooling will throw chips and coolant everywhere
[01:25:12] <LatheBuilder> (in addition to base design)
[01:25:52] <Noxz> hmm

[01:30:05] <MrHindsight> yes
[01:30:34] <MrHindsight> but at $10/L it will get pricey for many
[01:30:48] <Noxz> I can see that
[01:31:15] <MrHindsight> well $10/L for the resin, the granite is cheap

[01:36:59] <LatheBuilder> first time on iirc, looking for a pointer for getting through first setup on 5i25 with lcnc 2.5.3
[01:38:09] <LatheBuilder> seems to be something i am missing. Am I meant to run through pncconf with, say, a 5i20 selected and then edit? reading through the documentation for it
[01:39:44] -!- dybskiy has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[01:40:06] <skunkworks> LatheBuilder: steppers or servos?
[01:40:34] <LatheBuilder> servos. 0-10v dc for 3 axis, same for vfd
[01:41:01] <MrHindsight> pcw_home: did they used to?
[01:41:02] <pcw_home> until 2.6 comes out, you need to download the 5i25 xml files:
[01:41:03] <pcw_home> http://www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum/39-pncconf/21670-5i25-firmware-xml-files-for-pncconf
[01:41:19] <LatheBuilder> using a 5i25/7i77. I understand field power has to be applied for outputs to appear
[01:41:40] <LatheBuilder> I could switch to 2.6, is it stable enough to use?
[01:41:44] <pcw_home> for the digital (field) I/O yes
[01:41:59] <pcw_home> in any case you probably want the latest pncconf
[01:42:48] <MrHindsight> http://www.hobby-machinist.com/showthread.php?t=14217 Epoxy Granite (EG) The cheap and easy way... I hope.
[01:42:54] <skunkworks> if it where me - I would take a hm2-servo sample config and change it to run the 5i25..
[01:43:06] <pcw_home> or just start with one of the example configs and learn HAL along the way...
[01:43:26] <pcw_home> Ha! we said about the same thing...

[01:44:51] <LatheBuilder> I'll need to learn hal soon regardless. Intending to use this as a 3dprinting testbed. LCNC looks like an easy winner for flexibility to the enthusiast user.
[01:45:33] <LatheBuilder> is the pcnconf in 2.5.3 latest, or a separate update required?
[01:46:52] -!- GJdan has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[01:51:19] <pcw_home> pretty sure its not the latest
[01:53:55] <LatheBuilder> switching to 2.6 or master now then. I the consensus that 2.6 is stable enough for cautious use?
[01:54:30] <Noxz> what's the purpose of having multiple cavaities/sections for the epoxy+granite versus one big pool?
[01:58:16] <LatheBuilder> noxz: strategic placement for material where it is needed perhaps

[02:20:31] <LatheBuilder> hi shaun
[02:21:16] <shaun413_> You build lathes?
[02:21:20] -!- Thetawaves [Thetawaves!~Thetawave@186-51-178-69.gci.net] has joined #linuxcnc
[02:22:21] <LatheBuilder> I did once. I design automation hardware for a living. You?
[02:22:42] <LatheBuilder> pleased to meet you btw
[02:22:56] <shaun413_> You too
[02:23:05] <shaun413_> No. I'm just getting started
[02:23:12] <shaun413_> Trying to find a cheap lathe
[02:23:23] <shaun413_> Thats not too big
[02:23:28] <zeeshan> shaun413_: where are you
[02:23:31] <shaun413_> Nj
[02:23:34] <zeeshan> oh cmon man
[02:23:40] <shaun413_> ?
[02:23:42] <LatheBuilder> what part of the world do you live in? Nebraska
[02:23:43] <zeeshan> you're in usa, you can easily find a decent lathe for cheap.
[02:23:50] <jdh> find em one.
[02:23:52] <jdh> err... me.
[02:23:58] <zeeshan> my friend lives in stockholm, nj
[02:24:05] <zeeshan> and shows me what he finds on craigslist :P
[02:24:06] <shaun413_> Hmmm
[02:24:10] <shaun413_> Well
[02:24:14] <shaun413_> I couldn't find much
[02:24:24] <shaun413_> And I really don't know what I'm looking for...
[02:24:30] <zeeshan> shaun413_: all the good deals will sell in <2 hours
[02:24:30] <LatheBuilder> first machine tool?
[02:24:34] <zeeshan> so you won't even see it pop up
[02:24:38] <zeeshan> unless you constantly monitor
[02:24:38] <shaun413_> Yes
[02:24:48] <shaun413_> First
[02:24:56] <zeeshan> best is have 800$ ready
[02:24:59] <zeeshan> and you can get yourself a very nice lathe
[02:25:11] <shaun413_> Hm
[02:25:20] <shaun413_> What to look for
[02:25:23] <LatheBuilder> I like the harbor freight 7 x 10 for learning, but it is easy to outgrow. space constraints?
[02:25:28] <zeeshan> look for key words like
[02:25:40] <zeeshan> 'lathe' 'southbend' 'myford'
[02:25:40] <shaun413_> That's about the max size 7x15 or so
[02:25:40] <zeeshan> etc
[02:25:48] <zeeshan> there are some tiny myford lathes
[02:25:48] <jdh> I got one of craigslist for $200, still in teh grease
[02:25:56] <zeeshan> jdh haha
[02:25:58] <zeeshan> what'd you search for?
[02:25:59] <LatheBuilder> nice find jdh
[02:26:00] <zeeshan> help shaun out
[02:26:12] <zeeshan> i got my 9x36 for 750$
[02:26:18] <shaun413_> Hm
[02:26:21] <zeeshan> same model sells for 3699 at busybee.ca
[02:26:27] <zeeshan> only thing wrong with it was the contactor
[02:26:30] <LatheBuilder> the harbor freight 7 x 14 is nice for its size/cost
[02:26:41] <zeeshan> the ad was literallyup for 30 minutes
[02:26:43] <zeeshan> before i snagged it :D
[02:26:43] <shaun413_> Really?
[02:27:01] <shaun413_> Everyone tells me to buy an old one
[02:27:05] <shaun413_> Not hf
[02:27:28] <LatheBuilder> my first lathe was a 7 x 10 from hf. Still use it today even though it is the smallest thing in my shop
[02:27:43] <zeeshan> shaun413_: hf lathes are prefectly fine
[02:27:45] <shaun413_> Hhm
[02:27:47] <zeeshan> most people are pro_ USA
[02:27:49] <shaun413_> Rally???
[02:27:55] <shaun413_> Yeah
[02:27:59] <zeeshan> my 9x36 chinese lathe is perfectly fine.
[02:28:05] <zeeshan> look at halligan's videos on youtube.
[02:28:07] <shaun413_> Harbor freight lathes aren't crap.
[02:28:09] <shaun413_> ?
[02:28:13] <zeeshan> he buys both usa made and chinese made
[02:28:32] <zeeshan> i'm assuming you're buy this for a hobbyt
[02:28:35] <zeeshan> they're not crap for that purpose
[02:28:43] <shaun413_> I see
[02:28:55] <LatheBuilder> neighbor bought an old south bend. paid way to much for it but he had to have a "lathe". ways worn out, drive in bad shape, no tooling. it was his first machine tool too, has not used it yet
[02:29:01] <shaun413_> I'm using it to make components for something I'm selling
[02:29:31] <shaun413_> Lathebuilder that's exactly what I'm worried about
[02:29:50] <shaun413_> Lathebuilder is there anything better than HF for the size
[02:30:00] <shaun413_> Like little machine shop
[02:30:31] <zeeshan> http://www.kijiji.ca/v-power-tool/hamilton/metal-lathes/582984294?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true
[02:30:33] <zeeshan> this is another small lathe
[02:30:36] <zeeshan> logan lathe
[02:30:45] <zeeshan> $1300 in canada means you can buy that prolly for 700 in the states
[02:31:09] <shaun413_> Hm
[02:31:11] <zeeshan> the other chinese lathe
[02:31:14] <zeeshan> in white he's selling for 750
[02:31:23] <shaun413_> Yeah
[02:31:29] <zeeshan> but note it has no ability to thread stuff
[02:31:34] <zeeshan> if you're trying to convert to cnc, thats perfect
[02:31:37] <shaun413_> Ah:/
[02:31:47] <shaun413_> I'd need threading
[02:31:52] <LatheBuilder> for the size, i don't think so. HF lathe is made by seig, many others import rebranded versions. Probably the greatest numbers of the 7x sizes around means lots of inexpensive accessories available. collets, toolposts, etc.
[02:32:11] <shaun413_> I see...
[02:32:35] <zeeshan> http://www.kijiji.ca/v-tool-other/hamilton/small-metal-lathe/582932114?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true
[02:32:36] <zeeshan> another lathe
[02:32:38] <zeeshan> 'atlas'
[02:32:41] <zeeshan> but again, no threading i think.
[02:32:49] <shaun413_> Better than sherline or such?
[02:32:50] <zeeshan> im posting this so you can get keywords
[02:32:56] <zeeshan> 10000000x better than sherline
[02:32:59] <zeeshan> sherline is a pansy little lathe
[02:33:03] <zeeshan> thats mean for tiny model engines
[02:33:04] <shaun413_> I mean hf
[02:33:07] <zeeshan> *meant
[02:33:10] <LatheBuilder> thing to know on the hf is not a very powerfull spindle. hands down better than a sherline or a taig
[02:33:17] <shaun413_> Really
[02:33:19] <shaun413_> Hmmm
[02:33:23] <LatheBuilder> though
[02:33:29] <shaun413_> Sherline is more expensive
[02:33:43] <zeeshan> i think sherline is more expensive because of the name
[02:33:47] <shaun413_> I sew
[02:33:57] <zeeshan> and one thing i notice about sherline is you don't get a lot of accessories with it
[02:34:05] <shaun413_> Yeah
[02:34:11] <LatheBuilder> target market for sherline seems to be retired guys who want to occupy their time making tiny models.
[02:34:21] <shaun413_> Yeah
[02:34:21] <zeeshan> like last time i checked, you get things like a 4jaw, 3jaw, steady rest, follower rest
[02:34:26] <zeeshan> included with your hf lathe
[02:34:32] <shaun413_> Hmm
[02:34:36] <shaun413_> Nice
[02:34:47] <zeeshan> if you buy those separately, that can by themself cost 500$
[02:34:47] <LatheBuilder> what size parts do you need to make?
[02:34:51] <shaun413_> Its cheap too
[02:35:02] <shaun413_> Small parts
[02:35:09] <shaun413_> No more an 8 inches or so
[02:35:18] <shaun413_> Long
[02:35:29] <LatheBuilder> small to you may not be small to the lathe we are talking about.
[02:35:44] <shaun413_> I want it to try watchmaking too
[02:35:49] <LatheBuilder> 8 inhces lg by what diameter?
[02:35:56] <shaun413_> 3 maybe
[02:36:13] <LatheBuilder> material?
[02:36:21] <shaun413_> Alum steel brass
[02:36:24] <shaun413_> Plastic
[02:37:05] <LatheBuilder> id threaded both ends?

[02:37:15] <shaun413_> Possibly
[02:37:24] <skunkworks> find a nice emco trainer...
[02:37:33] <shaun413_> ?
[02:37:47] <LatheBuilder> emco is a brand.
[02:37:57] <shaun413_> Hm
[02:38:44] <LatheBuilder> have a link to pics of what you sell?
[02:38:52] <shaun413_> I don't yet
[02:39:28] <skunkworks> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_LxyosF2yc
[02:39:53] <zeeshan> skunkworks: fancy
[02:40:01] <zeeshan> sure as hell beats using a dial!
[02:40:08] <skunkworks> sure does!
[02:40:18] <zeeshan> skunkworks: can you know break the sync
[02:40:23] <moorbo> evening
[02:40:26] <zeeshan> when the tool returns to the initial position?
[02:40:27] <moorbo> or morning...
[02:40:27] <LatheBuilder> what i am getting at is: the parts you need to run drive what you "need" in a lathe. If the primary purpose is getting into machining, you can't go wrong with a 7 x 14. If you need to make parts to justify cost, that is something else
[02:40:30] <moorbo> whatever in the internet you are.
[02:41:03] <skunkworks> zeeshan: ?
[02:41:15] <zeeshan> when the spindle goes to the beginning of the thread
[02:41:18] <zeeshan> er
[02:41:28] <zeeshan> the carriage goes to the beginning of the thread, its syncronized with the spindle still
[02:41:35] <zeeshan> can you not speed that up somehow
[02:41:57] <toastyde1th> ?
[02:41:59] <shaun413_> So
[02:42:01] <LatheBuilder> limiter is probably spindle horsepower
[02:42:05] <shaun413_> You all recommend a hf
[02:42:08] <moorbo> shaun413_: stiil looking for a lathe?
[02:42:11] <LatheBuilder> nice vid btw skunkworks
[02:42:18] <shaun413_> Yes moorbo
[02:42:31] <skunkworks> that is about the limit of that machine - using the original electronics... 39ipm iirc

[02:43:55] <skunkworks> according the the video
[02:44:10] <shaun413_> ???
[02:44:16] <toastyde1th> something that is 3" in diameter and 8" long is going to be really, really cramped on a 7x14
[02:44:32] <LatheBuilder> agreed.
[02:44:35] <shaun413_> Moorbo people seem to think I should get a hf
[02:44:41] <moorbo> shaun413_: I'd agree
[02:44:47] <shaun413_> Rally???
[02:44:49] <toastyde1th> the number i find on the 7x14s is 4" over the bed

[02:45:13] <moorbo> maybe its been replaced.
[02:45:17] <shaun413_> Hm
[02:45:29] <toastyde1th> all inexpensive import lathes are terrible quality
[02:45:32] <toastyde1th> they will turn, however
[02:45:36] <shaun413_> Hm
[02:45:46] <shaun413_> Well is there better for tg cost
[02:45:48] <LatheBuilder> can't agree with you on that point toastyde1th
[02:45:51] <moorbo> shaun413_: what did reis recommend
[02:45:58] <shaun413_> What makes them terrible quality
[02:46:03] <shaun413_> Idr moorbo
[02:46:09] <moorbo> idr?
[02:46:11] <toastyde1th> sorry - they're terrible castings, the ways are horribly ground
[02:46:21] <shaun413_> Hm
[02:46:21] <toastyde1th> the major casting components are shimmed into place, if anything at all
[02:46:29] <shaun413_> I see
[02:46:33] <moorbo> shaun413_: idr the brand, or is that an abbrev ?
[02:46:35] <zeeshan> toastyde1th: i think its kind of an unfair thing to say 'all inexpesnive import lathes are terrible quality'
[02:46:38] <zeeshan> :P
[02:46:43] <toastyde1th> i don't
[02:46:45] <toastyde1th> because it's the case
[02:46:47] <shaun413_> I don't rememver
[02:46:51] <moorbo> shaun413_: ah
[02:46:55] <zeeshan> you can't have possibly tested all of them
[02:46:57] <toastyde1th> they still TURN things
[02:47:05] <toastyde1th> they just do in in the worst possible way
[02:47:10] <shaun413_> How so
[02:47:12] <zeeshan> then again, i dont have a very cheap ass import either
[02:47:12] <shaun413_> What's bad
[02:47:12] <zeeshan> :P
[02:47:14] <moorbo> shaun413_: I'd suggest working on your budget
[02:47:21] <LatheBuilder> at the price point we are talking about. some import lathes are complete trash I'd agree, but at the small end the 7x10/12/14 family is generally made, if underpowered
[02:47:23] <moorbo> shaun413_: and your requirement, like these guys suggested.
[02:47:24] <shaun413_> So no HF?
[02:47:34] <toastyde1th> the castings also flex like crazy
[02:47:43] <moorbo> you could trust me, but most people don't trust women in the industry apparently ;p
[02:47:43] <toastyde1th> the spindle is itty bitty
[02:47:45] <zeeshan> at what depth of cut?
[02:47:50] <zeeshan> what material?
[02:48:01] <zeeshan> you can get a southbend to flex like crazy if you cut deep enough
[02:48:05] <toastyde1th> lol
[02:48:07] <shaun413_> Hmm
[02:48:13] <shaun413_> Um just so lost here
[02:48:15] <toastyde1th> you realize that "flex like crazy" is a relative judgement
[02:48:21] <zeeshan> yes
[02:48:32] <toastyde1th> do you understand how machine tool static rigidity is tested?
[02:48:35] <shaun413_> Idk where to even start
[02:48:46] <toastyde1th> because if you don't, having a discussion about static rigidity is pointless
[02:48:49] <moorbo> shaun413_: you're mainly turning brass and peek, right?
[02:48:59] <zeeshan> toastyde1th: there are many ways.
[02:49:05] <moorbo> at what, the longest, 100mm ?
[02:50:05] <zeeshan> toastyde1th: what kind of test are you specifically thinking about?
[02:50:07] <toastyde1th> zeeshan, any argument saying that the small import bench lathes are anything but the absolute bottom of the barrel of available lathes is disingenuous at best
[02:50:08] <shaun413_> Yes
[02:50:12] <shaun413_> For now
[02:50:22] <moorbo> shaun413_: whats supposed to come later
[02:50:31] <shaun413_> I want to make watches
[02:50:35] <shaun413_> :p
[02:50:39] <moorbo> shaun413_: i would think about these things as your first machine
[02:50:44] <moorbo> like your first guitar
[02:50:48] <shaun413_> Yes
[02:50:50] <moorbo> you don't buy a billion dollar guitar
[02:50:51] <shaun413_> I'd agree
[02:50:52] <zeeshan> if you're planning to do 100 thou depth of cuts on steel on a small lathe forget about it.
[02:50:55] <moorbo> if you don't know fuck all about them.
[02:51:07] <zeeshan> thats asking a lot out of a 200lb lathe
[02:51:12] <shaun413_> Yes
[02:51:19] <moorbo> zeeshan: his goal atm is for brass and PEEK
[02:51:22] <shaun413_> Not going to happen
[02:51:28] <shaun413_> And alum
[02:51:34] <zeeshan> he can even do steel at lower depth of cuts
[02:51:36] <moorbo> and alu apparently.
[02:51:41] <toastyde1th> zeeshan, you still seem to be completely missing the point. There's a whole constellation of small lathes, and the ones we're discussing are the worst of that size. they still EVENTUALLY cut the part you want to make
[02:51:42] <zeeshan> its all relative size
[02:51:46] <toastyde1th> and they'll get sort of there in terms of accuracy
[02:51:56] <toastyde1th> this argument about "it's relative" is nonsense, because I can take a file and sit there and whittle a part
[02:52:03] <toastyde1th> that does not make my hands and the file a good lathe.
[02:52:11] <shaun413_> True
[02:52:18] <shaun413_> I want a quality lathe
[02:52:23] <moorbo> toastyde1th: whats your suggestion for a sub 1000$ lathe.
[02:52:24] <shaun413_> But not for over 1000
[02:52:24] <toastyde1th> they're inxpensive and a way to get into machining
[02:52:31] <shaun413_> True
[02:52:35] -!- LatheBuilder has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[02:52:39] <shaun413_> I don't need a monarch
[02:52:46] <toastyde1th> and if i couldn't find the budget to get anything else and I was afraid of used equipment (for any reason), i would buy one
[02:53:06] <shaun413_> I'm not afraid of used
[02:53:11] <toastyde1th> because, as the internet has demonstrated, it's quite possible to make parts on all manner of cobbled together machines
[02:53:12] <zeeshan> a lot of older lathes have worn out v-ways
[02:53:19] <shaun413_> Its just a pita sometimes from.my experience
[02:53:40] <toastyde1th> better worn out in the Y axis than never straight to begin with
[02:53:51] <shaun413_> True
[02:54:33] <toastyde1th> most wear occurs in the vertical, and that's why people still like to use old lathes - unless the wear is truly excessive, dropping the tool .005" in height doesn't make a huge difference
[02:54:45] <moorbo> game of thrones time
[02:54:47] <shaun413_> Right
[02:54:48] -!- moorbo has quit []
[02:55:13] <zeeshan> that's true
[02:55:23] <toastyde1th> and in this form factor - stuff under 14x40, few lathes have a ton of wear unless they're abused, because a 14x40 is a toolroom and not a production lathe
[02:55:34] <shaun413_> Yes
[02:55:42] <toastyde1th> but abuse is clearly still something to watch out for and is one of the reasons buying used can be bad for a first timer
[02:55:55] <shaun413_> So what would younrecpmmebd
[02:56:27] <toastyde1th> you aren't going to get a solid recommendation of "buy this," because your budget precludes anything people would strongly, strongly recommend without much argument or contention. you have to decide for yourself, unfortunately.
[02:56:56] <zeeshan> i already told this guy to buy an older southbend, chinese lathe, myford, atlas
[02:56:57] <toastyde1th> you know about some of the used brands, and there's a ton of resources online about the pros and cons of HF-style imports
[02:57:08] <toastyde1th> I'd second any of those
[02:57:37] <zeeshan> the way i looked for my lathe was
[02:57:37] <zeeshan> weight
[02:57:50] <zeeshan> (to narrow down shit from good)
[02:57:53] <toastyde1th> spindle mount and weight are pretty much the go-to methods for speccing out a small lathe
[02:57:56] <zeeshan> and then looked at other things
[02:58:16] <shaun413_> What budget do.I need for a strong reccimendatikn
[02:58:17] <zeeshan> i'm not a big fan of screw on type of chucks
[02:58:19] <toastyde1th> also, the way with vs center height
[02:58:20] <zeeshan> i like the cam lock style
[02:59:01] <toastyde1th> the height of the spindle centerline should not be excessively large compared to the way width, usually 1 to 1.5 on good lathes
[02:59:05] <zeeshan> http://www.busybeetools.com/products/LATHE-12IN.-X-36IN.-2HP-GEAR-HEAD.html
[02:59:06] <zeeshan> i have this baby
[02:59:22] <toastyde1th> shaun413_, unfortunately "good" lathes, used, start in the 2k range
[02:59:23] <zeeshan> can easily do .125 depth of cuts in aluminum
[02:59:32] <shaun413_> Hmm
[02:59:34] <toastyde1th> hopefully you can find one with a bunch of tooling
[02:59:35] <shaun413_> Damn
[02:59:49] <zeeshan> i actually havent tried pushing it
[02:59:49] <shaun413_> In don't need to do those cuts
[02:59:52] <toastyde1th> and "good" import lathes start 5k+
[02:59:59] <shaun413_> Hmm
[03:00:18] <toastyde1th> don't be fooled by talking about depth of cut - just because you aren't going to use that ability doesn't mean the quality and rigidity of construction don't manifest in other areas
[03:00:20] <toastyde1th> like finish cuts
[03:00:36] <toastyde1th> a chatter-free finish cut is greatly assisted by a rigid machine
[03:00:44] <zeeshan> toastyde1th:
[03:00:51] <zeeshan> thats all about dynamic characteristics
[03:00:53] <zeeshan> not static
[03:00:59] <toastyde1th> yes
[03:01:22] <toastyde1th> and none of the lathes we're talking about deal with dynamic rigidity except by adding more mass
[03:01:27] -!- gushhtab [gushhtab!~gushhtab@host80.186-124-203.telecom.net.ar] has joined #linuxcnc
[03:01:42] <zeeshan> well
[03:01:46] <zeeshan> some are stiffer by design
[03:01:56] <zeeshan> you don't necessarily need to add mass to get a better dynamic response out of a lathe
[03:02:04] <toastyde1th> and so, on old lathes, you can very effectively predict dynamic rigidity by measuring the static rigidity
[03:02:04] <shaun413_> Hmm
[03:02:14] <shaun413_> OK I guess I'll be back timmorwo
[03:02:19] <shaun413_> I gtg to bed
[03:02:22] <toastyde1th> if you want to get into a "Who knows more" technical pissing match, that's fine, but it isn't going to help this guy.
[03:02:22] <shaun413_> Night
[03:02:25] <toastyde1th> night
[03:02:28] <zeeshan> cu
[03:02:32] <shaun413_> Cya later
[03:02:34] <zeeshan> toastyde1th: it's not about who knows more
[03:02:47] <toastyde1th> okay, explain to me how bringing that up helped him.
[03:02:57] <zeeshan> no matter what we say its not going to help him
[03:03:03] <zeeshan> cause he doesn't understand the basics
[03:03:07] <zeeshan> if you ask this guy what a tail stock is
[03:03:09] <zeeshan> he prolly doesn't even know
[03:03:14] <humble_sea_bass> toastyde1th: the more important thing to know is that there is no helping shaun413_
[03:03:20] <zeeshan> (no offence shaun)
[03:03:43] <toastyde1th> he's going to waffle until he makes a decision, that's fine
[03:03:54] <toastyde1th> or loses interest, i guess. ha.
[03:04:04] <humble_sea_bass> hopin'
[03:04:05] <zeeshan> i've noticed the people that talk a lot
[03:04:09] <zeeshan> tend to be the ones that dissapear after a while
[03:04:12] <zeeshan> and lose interest
[03:04:26] <zeeshan> the ones that ask specific educated questions tend to end up being successful
[03:06:36] <zeeshan> now back to our WHO KN|OWS more conversation
[03:06:46] <humble_sea_bass> the last word in regidity
[03:06:48] <humble_sea_bass> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pX1cO2XhMrg
[03:06:54] <zeeshan> a while ago, i did an experiment at school trying to determine the static compliance and dynamic compliance of a machine
[03:07:32] <zeeshan> to give you an idea, the static compliance changed from 2.6 micrometers/N to 0.1124 micrometers / N by adding cross bracing
[03:07:44] <zeeshan> but when we did the dynamic compliance study
[03:07:54] <zeeshan> the numbers started getting larger when we added cross-bracing
[03:08:07] -!- bilboquet has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[03:08:10] <zeeshan> we actually shifted the natural frequency of the system close to the oscillating load it was seeing
[03:09:16] <zeeshan> how much is that foam cutter
[03:09:16] <zeeshan> lol
[03:09:36] <humble_sea_bass> i think it is made out of the mindstorm kit
[03:09:39] <toastyde1th> yes, but if I can guess, I'd guess the first mode went way up in frequency
[03:09:43] <zeeshan> interesting theyre using nurbs curves
[03:09:44] <humble_sea_bass> and not much else
[03:09:46] <zeeshan> for geometry
[03:10:39] <zeeshan> all we did buy adding the cross braces is changed the stiffness of the machine
[03:10:42] <humble_sea_bass> there are lots of direct modelers folks like
[03:10:49] <toastyde1th> right - i'm not saying you did anything but that
[03:10:51] <zeeshan> naturalfrequency = square root of (stiffness/mass)
[03:10:54] <humble_sea_bass> 3DS max or rhino even
[03:11:17] <zeeshan> so the natural frequency of the system was 120Hz for example
[03:11:25] <zeeshan> but our motor was running at 120Hz also
[03:11:27] <toastyde1th> okay, i'm done, i don't really want to be lectured about things I already know
[03:11:34] <zeeshan> lol okay
[03:11:51] <zeeshan> machinists vs engineers
[03:11:53] <zeeshan> FTW!
[03:12:04] <toastyde1th> no, someone explaining shit someone else already knows to that person
[03:12:15] <zeeshan> well you don't clearly understand it well enough
[03:12:19] <toastyde1th> clearly.
[03:12:26] <humble_sea_bass> i use my advanced vibrations book as a monitor stand
[03:12:29] <zeeshan> because earlier you said mass is a good way to determine how 'rigid a machine is in both static and dynamic modes'
[03:12:35] <toastyde1th> lol
[03:12:49] <toastyde1th> i didn't actually say that
[03:12:52] <zeeshan> humble_sea_bass: lol
[03:12:52] <toastyde1th> you invited a quote wholesale
[03:12:57] <toastyde1th> so again
[03:13:01] <zeeshan> <toastyde1th> and so, on old lathes, you can very effectively predict dynamic rigidity by measuring the static rigidity
[03:13:06] <toastyde1th> YEP
[03:13:09] <toastyde1th> and that's true!
[03:13:18] <humble_sea_bass> that is true
[03:13:24] <toastyde1th> a heuristic!
[03:13:26] <toastyde1th> shocking!
[03:13:29] <humble_sea_bass> it is ano brainer
[03:13:34] <humble_sea_bass> rule of thumb
[03:13:39] <zeeshan> so you're telling me if you changed the oscillating load your machine saw
[03:13:48] <zeeshan> that would have no effect on your dynamic rigidity ?
[03:13:55] <toastyde1th> loooooool
[03:14:22] <humble_sea_bass> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0Mod_92VZA
[03:14:30] <toastyde1th> if you aren't going to spend even a fraction of a second thinking about what I'm saying, and instead jumping ahead to piss knowledge all over everyone
[03:14:38] <toastyde1th> I'm not sure what to say to you
[03:15:11] zultron_ is now known as zultron
[03:15:31] <humble_sea_bass> keeping work load mass the same across the board, a more massive machine will be more rigid
[03:15:54] <zeeshan> unfortunately on a lathe
[03:16:10] <zeeshan> is a variable oscillatory load
[03:16:23] <humble_sea_bass> yeah I just linked that
[03:16:30] <zeeshan> even if you kept the magnitude of the load constant, the frequency varies w/ your spindle
[03:16:37] <zeeshan> or even down to how the chips are breaking off
[03:16:40] <humble_sea_bass> this fucking guy has a maple burl
[03:17:24] <zeeshan> all he has to do is change the spindle speed to match close to the natural frequency of the machine
[03:17:28] <zeeshan> and that thing would go absolutely nuts
[03:17:31] <toastyde1th> zeeshan, you are rushing to respondto what you think other people are saying without taking the time to understand the point that's being made.
[03:17:50] <toastyde1th> none of what you're saying is actually being debated
[03:17:51] <toastyde1th> which is why it's being ignored
[03:18:15] <zeeshan> then explain to me how static mass is a good measure of a machines dynamic rigidity
[03:18:27] <zeeshan> cause i fail to see the relatiosnhip
[03:18:36] <humble_sea_bass> "wow this is cutting like shit"
[03:18:40] <Jymmm> zeeshan: MAgic Carpet Theory
[03:18:53] <zeeshan> i mean if that was the bloody case
[03:19:01] <humble_sea_bass> >> change feed rate and/or spindle speed
[03:19:02] <zeeshan> we wouldnt have bridges oscillating like they weigh 10 lb
[03:19:43] <humble_sea_bass> 10lb weigts can't make a bridge oscilate
[03:19:46] <humble_sea_bass> science fact
[03:19:54] <toastyde1th> lol, okay, that's not what HE said either
[03:20:11] <Noxz> so I was linked to this channel from elsewhere.. linuxcnc is a software control? nothing more?
[03:20:12] <humble_sea_bass> you need some crazy loads to get it going
[03:20:29] <toastyde1th> humble_sea_bass, that's not what he's talking about
[03:20:34] <humble_sea_bass> i know
[03:20:39] <Jymmm> humble_sea_bass: $1000 USD via Paypal says otherwise
[03:21:09] <zeeshan> this is what im talking about
[03:21:10] <zeeshan> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7b/Forced_Vibration_Response.png
[03:21:18] <humble_sea_bass> give me a lever and I'll move the world situations don't count
[03:21:48] <zeeshan> the reason i know mass is not necessarily a good measure of dynamic rigidity is for the same reason
[03:21:59] <humble_sea_bass> yeah. system dynamics 101
[03:22:00] <toastyde1th> zeeshan, what are machine tools made out of
[03:22:06] <zeeshan> why you end up changing spindle speed, feedrate or whatever when you notice chatter
[03:22:15] <zeeshan> because you're trying to change the frequency ratio
[03:22:24] <toastyde1th> seriously - what are they made out of.
[03:22:32] <zeeshan> what the insert
[03:22:35] <zeeshan> or the actual TOOL
[03:22:39] <zeeshan> or the casting
[03:22:39] <humble_sea_bass> cheese
[03:22:40] <toastyde1th> the physical machine
[03:22:41] <Jymmm> toastyde1th: guts and stuff
[03:22:42] <toastyde1th> the casting
[03:22:45] <zeeshan> usually cast iron
[03:22:47] <toastyde1th> right
[03:22:48] <zeeshan> nodular
[03:22:49] <toastyde1th> and what is cast iron
[03:23:05] <zeeshan> basically fe mixed with more than 4% carbon
[03:23:26] <toastyde1th> i guess that was a fairly disingenuous question on my part because i'm looking for a rather edge response
[03:23:27] <toastyde1th> so i apologize
[03:23:32] <toastyde1th> it's a damper
[03:23:41] <zeeshan> yes it is
[03:23:42] <toastyde1th> a pretty good one at the frequencies we're concerned about
[03:24:03] <zeeshan> so then say that
[03:24:11] <zeeshan> a bigger casting means itll have more natural dampening in it
[03:24:14] <toastyde1th> no, because i'm playing the game you're playing
[03:24:22] <zeeshan> that makes sense
[03:24:28] <zeeshan> saying it just has more mass means nothing to me
[03:24:32] <humble_sea_bass> my sister used to have this beat up 1986 toyota something or other that would vibrate like the apocalyps at 76 mph
[03:24:39] <Jymmm> toastyde1th: Words with friends?
[03:26:13] <toastyde1th> it also turns out that the specifics of how gain and damping work at the tool interface are affected by the static rigidity of the machine - it doesn't actually feed into the calculation except that both are functions of the static rigidity
[03:26:21] <zeeshan> interesting cast iron has a damping factor of 0.0015
[03:26:27] <zeeshan> and epoxy granite has 0.01-0.05
[03:26:39] <toastyde1th> ya, epoxy is a much better casting material
[03:27:36] -!- mhaberler [mhaberler!~mhaberler@extern-177.stiwoll.mah.priv.at] has joined #linuxcnc
[03:28:52] <toastyde1th> although at the time I was involved with that I didn't stand a chance of understanding the math involved, so i don't understand why that's the case
[03:29:49] <zeeshan> i've never learned at school that its as simple of a relationship as you describe it to be
[03:29:58] <zeeshan> and thats my problem with why i've been "talking back"
[03:30:29] <toastyde1th> in general it isn't that simple - you are correct
[03:31:13] <zeeshan> they've always made us do an experiment to determine the static deflection curves, then do a bunch of tests to determine the systems dynamic response
[03:31:15] <toastyde1th> the specific thing, and i'll describe it as best i'm able because it was somebody's phd dissertation and I was 2nd year mech e at the time
[03:31:26] <toastyde1th> has almost nothing to do with the actual dynamic response of the system
[03:31:30] <zeeshan> after that you can make a good solution on how to fix the problem
[03:31:41] -!- karavanjo has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[03:31:46] <toastyde1th> the thing they're looking at is how the tool, oscillating in the cut itself, changes the gain and damping
[03:31:49] <zeeshan> are you a mech eng?
[03:31:54] <toastyde1th> math guy now, i switched out
[03:31:59] <zeeshan> after what year
[03:32:02] <toastyde1th> 2nd
[03:32:06] <zeeshan> i only learned vibrations in 3rd year
[03:32:16] <zeeshan> like a specific course on vibrations
[03:32:20] <toastyde1th> never had one
[03:32:41] <toastyde1th> we wind up seeing a lot of the math as examples in our coursework
[03:32:59] <zeeshan> after all its math where we get our models from :)
[03:33:00] <toastyde1th> but i still haven't had a proper course on vibration
[03:33:07] <pcw_home> Thats interesting, they have used piezoelectric materials with resistive loads as passive damping devices
[03:33:30] <zeeshan> pcw_home: sounds like an acoustics application
[03:36:06] <zeeshan> you've prolly seen this equation
[03:36:15] <zeeshan> mx" + cx' + kx = 0
[03:36:26] <zeeshan> i mean you see 3 things right there that effect the dynamic response of the system
[03:36:32] <zeeshan> mass, damping and stiffness
[03:36:55] <zeeshan> and really out of that the only relationship to static rigidity would be mass
[03:40:05] <humble_sea_bass> laplace everything and you can go home and smoke a doob
[03:40:16] <zeeshan> haha
[03:40:29] <zeeshan> laplace is the man
[03:40:33] <Noxz> so.. I think I might have been convinced to do this epoxy+granite base.. anywhere that I should begin?design, ratios, etc?
[03:40:49] <zeeshan> Noxz: convinced how?
[03:40:51] <zeeshan> :P
[03:41:01] <Noxz> like, it makes sense, right?
[03:41:08] <Noxz> notsure how much extra it may be in the end
[03:41:10] <humble_sea_bass> Nox, trial and error or just copy what some other dude did
[03:41:21] <Noxz> but seems more stable than some 80/20 lined up next to eachother
[03:41:24] <zeeshan> how much does epoxy granite weigh?
[03:42:29] <zeeshan> holy cow
[03:42:32] <Noxz> a bit?
[03:42:35] <zeeshan> that looks like some nasty but neat stuff
[03:43:03] <zeeshan> it looks like concrete
[03:43:23] <toastyde1th> it's epoxy and rock aggrigate
[03:43:27] <humble_sea_bass> I think captain said it was 10% epoxy
[03:43:51] <zeeshan> i can't see it hurting
[03:43:53] <toastyde1th> there's very little publically available data on how to mix the aggrigate
[03:44:05] <zeeshan> but its hard to know what it'll do without measuring the response of your machine right now
[03:44:06] <toastyde1th> and the final outcome is very, very sensitive to the mixture
[03:44:11] <humble_sea_bass> it looks like it is a "to taste" type thing
[03:44:25] <toastyde1th> it's not
[03:44:35] <zeeshan> i wonder how much it'd cost to make your own hammer with a load cell and hook up an accelrometer
[03:45:03] <zeeshan> http://www.cnccookbook.com/CCMillEpoxyFill.htm
[03:45:10] <zeeshan> this guy added 40kg of epoxy
[03:45:16] <humble_sea_bass> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdfpDenJ2zY
[03:45:20] <toastyde1th> usually what people do is get a mix of different size rock
[03:45:24] <humble_sea_bass> yep. sure looks sensitive
[03:45:49] <humble_sea_bass> some of those look like ass
[03:45:50] <toastyde1th> yes, because what some dude on the internet is doing in his kitchen is the pinnacle of engineering
[03:46:09] <toastyde1th> the issue is you want as much large rock as possible, to minimize the amount of epoxy
[03:46:26] <zeeshan> unfortunately the bottom line is
[03:46:33] <zeeshan> people are "designing stuff"
[03:46:38] <zeeshan> but don't do any calculations :P
[03:46:40] <toastyde1th> haha
[03:46:57] <toastyde1th> it's hard to do it horrifyingly poorly as long as the amount of epoxy stays low
[03:47:01] <humble_sea_bass> Iterate
[03:47:02] <toastyde1th> you can wind up with a lot of voids
[03:47:19] <zeeshan> Noxz: arent you the guy building a milling machine out of 8020?
[03:47:19] <toastyde1th> but if you have a high percentage of epoxy, you wind up with a very weak casting
[03:47:57] <zeeshan> what happens if you take a hammer to epoxy granite
[03:48:00] <zeeshan> does it chip off?
[03:48:07] <zeeshan> like a rock
[03:48:20] <Noxz> zeeshan: did you forget about me that quickly?
[03:48:23] <toastyde1th> not sure, never seen anyone hit a casting
[03:48:26] <zeeshan> Noxz: haha
[03:48:37] <zeeshan> you've never hammered a casting?!
[03:48:43] <toastyde1th> not an epoxy casting
[03:48:44] <zeeshan> its the best way to break apart engine blocks
[03:48:45] <zeeshan> :D
[03:48:47] <toastyde1th> hahah
[03:49:06] <zeeshan> im curious to know if the epoxy piece just falls out
[03:49:14] <zeeshan> or if there is a strong bond between the epoxy and the steel too
[03:49:33] <zeeshan> kinda like if you're making ice cubes, do they fall out easily
[03:49:51] <zeeshan> i bet its something like jb weld epoxy
[03:49:55] <zeeshan> makes a strong bond
[03:50:24] <zeeshan> At this point, I can't see much point in monkeying with success. It may be that a 10% epoxy formula would be better, but this will work just fine for this project. I plan to keep Epoxy Granite in mind for other projects. I understand it sets up with an accuracy of 0.001" on top if you get rid of bubbles, so you could make a surface plate from it.
[03:50:32] <zeeshan> haha
[03:50:39] <zeeshan> that would be sweet, making your own surface plate out of epoxy granite
[03:50:50] <toastyde1th> haha that would be horrifying
[03:50:53] <toastyde1th> how would you make it flat
[03:51:03] <toastyde1th> i mean if .001 was okay, then it's not a problem
[03:51:08] <zeeshan> maybe pour it in some horrendously accurate mold
[03:51:15] <humble_sea_bass> use an expensive precision granite to make yours
[03:51:19] <zeeshan> HBAHA
[03:51:23] <zeeshan> that would work!
[03:51:34] <humble_sea_bass> and get it done before they get back and see what you did
[03:51:35] <toastyde1th> yeah but you still have the same problem - you have to be able to resurface the plate
[03:51:53] <toastyde1th> granite is nice because it's hard as shit and doesn't wear fast at all
[03:52:02] <toastyde1th> and can be resurfaced very accurately
[03:52:10] <zeeshan> ive never seen granite resurfacing
[03:52:16] <zeeshan> what do they use some diamond tools
[03:52:26] <toastyde1th> dry diamond grit and cast iron hand laps
[03:53:00] <zeeshan> now that im looking at a starrett granite plate online
[03:53:01] <toastyde1th> and a beam straightedge that sits maybe 10" up off the plate, on a kinematic mount
[03:53:07] <zeeshan> looks very much like this guys epoxy granite haha
[03:53:13] <toastyde1th> scraped in so that it's level when it's sagging under gravity
[03:54:07] <zeeshan> now im curious to see how flat my glass computer table is
[03:54:32] <zeeshan> i always see people using glass and sand paper on top of it
[03:54:35] <zeeshan> to flatten things out
[03:54:45] <toastyde1th> locally, glass is very flat
[03:54:59] <toastyde1th> it's not at all flat over any actual distance (6" and on"
[03:55:00] <toastyde1th> )
[03:55:03] <zeeshan> ah
[03:55:08] <zeeshan> from what i remember
[03:55:12] <humble_sea_bass> i love large floated glass windows because of the wavyness
[03:55:23] <zeeshan> i saw a guy polishing a 1" diameter mirror
[03:55:43] <zeeshan> for laser usage in his gyro laser setup
[03:55:45] <zeeshan> or whatever you call those things
[03:55:47] <humble_sea_bass> stay away from the telescope mirror polishers
[03:56:06] <humble_sea_bass> it is a religion
[03:56:25] <zeeshan> http://media.npr.org/assets/img/2012/01/25/mirror-polishing_custom-c6e54cca037912aaf033bf94d7a043b37e8c95b7-s6-c30.jpg
[03:56:35] <zeeshan> that comes up when i searched for telescope mirror polishers
[03:56:35] <zeeshan> haha
[03:56:41] <zeeshan> look at the girls screen
[03:56:55] <zeeshan> i think the right screen is showing all the low/high spots
[03:57:04] <toastyde1th> that fucking thing is so crazy
[03:57:18] <toastyde1th> it's a deterministic polishing machine

[03:59:13] <zeeshan> (is that what youw ere referring to?)
[03:59:18] <toastyde1th> ?
[03:59:23] <zeeshan> humble_sea_bass:
[03:59:31] <zeeshan> > stay away from the telescope mirror polishers
[03:59:57] <humble_sea_bass> yeah those guys with the "How to make a telescope" book (an actual book)
[04:00:25] <zeeshan> i dont think i'd have the patience to make one
[04:00:29] <somenewguy> i know a retired dude who used to do that
[04:00:35] <zeeshan> though ive always wanted a refractive telescope
[04:00:38] <toastyde1th> that guy is grinding that mirror blank in the slowest way i've ever seen
[04:01:39] <somenewguy> never talks details, I assume it was a lot of gov stuff, but the point he always goes back to was the guys who managed the pitch were magicians/clansmen who would NEVER share thier secrets, you best apprentice son
[04:01:57] <humble_sea_bass> here is a bbc video walking you throug the process, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0iyRgRhvLk
[04:02:45] <zeeshan> man i'd just bust out an orbital sander for that shit
[04:02:50] <zeeshan> screw hand labour
[04:03:01] <humble_sea_bass> yeah see. you're out of the club
[04:03:13] <zeeshan> i did enough hand labour when i prepped my car for paint
[04:03:16] <zeeshan> its kind of a similar process
[04:03:17] <humble_sea_bass> you just got your walking papers from the diy telecope club
[04:03:23] <zeeshan> haha
[04:03:56] <somenewguy> hahaha
[04:05:31] <zeeshan> i wanna show you guys some pics of this
[04:06:43] <zeeshan> cmon imgur
[04:06:45] <zeeshan> don't dissapoint me
[04:07:21] <toastyde1th> christ, all these people are obsessed with making lenses the hardest way possible
[04:07:57] <zeeshan> http://imgur.com/a/xzg82
[04:08:00] <zeeshan> 3rd pic is how it all starts
[04:08:06] <toastyde1th> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noBWSeozpkI
[04:08:10] <zeeshan> note the low and high spots (black and greyish are low spots)
[04:08:21] <zeeshan> when you're done just painting and stuff it comes out like the 4th pic
[04:08:35] <zeeshan> 2nd and last pic show how you gotta sand the painted clear coat again to get it mirror smooth
[04:08:41] <zeeshan> and the finished product is the first pic
[04:08:57] <zeeshan> so i guess polishing mirrors is very similar to car painting
[04:09:04] <toastyde1th> ya
[04:09:09] <toastyde1th> except minus the interferometry step
[04:09:29] <zeeshan> and the fact you can sit on your butt and do it!
[04:09:32] <zeeshan> ill never paint a car again
[04:09:51] <toastyde1th> you can walk the hell away from a lens grinding op
[04:09:53] <toastyde1th> and just come back later
[04:10:07] <toastyde1th> i never got the hang of running the lapping machine where I used to work
[04:10:10] <toastyde1th> big 40" lapping wheel
[04:10:39] <zeeshan> toastyde1th: you have a funny job path, you finished a math degree and you're doing machine work
[04:10:39] <zeeshan> hehe
[04:10:46] <toastyde1th> other way around
[04:10:52] <zeeshan> oh
[04:10:57] <toastyde1th> machining -> eng -> had to move and restart -> physics -> math
[04:11:08] <zeeshan> are you still doing machining stuff?
[04:11:11] <zeeshan> or math related work
[04:11:14] <toastyde1th> and now I'm working full time in IT, but they pay me to go to school
[04:11:39] <toastyde1th> nah, i just find math interesting, i don't want to be a mathematician
[04:11:41] <zeeshan> im always interested to know what math people end up doing
[04:11:59] <zeeshan> lots of variety of fields hire math degree people
[04:12:00] <humble_sea_bass> making money
[04:12:13] <toastyde1th> ya, everyone i know who did math are all in totally random fields
[04:12:19] <toastyde1th> if they didn't do academia
[04:12:34] <zeeshan> i love math

[04:13:13] <zeeshan> did you use matlab

[04:13:25] <toastyde1th> nope, i'm on the pure math side
[04:13:31] <zeeshan> ah
[04:13:41] <zeeshan> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKxjikVs_4Q
[04:13:45] <zeeshan> i used to do this for fun
[04:13:46] <zeeshan> haha
[04:13:58] <zeeshan> solve out various wave equations and move em with time
[04:14:58] <toastyde1th> i hated my ode class
[04:15:11] <toastyde1th> it was very very geared toward non-math majors, but didn't have any applications either
[04:15:18] <toastyde1th> it was this weird bastardized class that nobody was happy with
[04:15:22] <zeeshan> got lucky with mine
[04:15:28] <zeeshan> an engineer taught ours
[04:15:34] <zeeshan> so it was very easy to follow
[04:15:46] <toastyde1th> also ours was packed full of every solution method ever, regardless of utility
[04:15:46] <humble_sea_bass> sounds like this complex analysis class i took
[04:15:59] <humble_sea_bass> I was so excited to take it, and then it just blew
[04:16:06] <zeeshan> haha
[04:16:13] <zeeshan> i think learning to solve odes is kind of silly
[04:16:18] <zeeshan> actually nm
[04:16:19] <zeeshan> its important
[04:16:24] <humble_sea_bass> laplace or bust
[04:16:34] <zeeshan> in reality, most real life ones need to be solved numerically
[04:16:37] <toastyde1th> didn't touch laplace with a ten foot pole, which infuriated me
[04:16:51] <zeeshan> humble_sea_bass: when you say laplace
[04:16:56] <zeeshan> are you talking about using laplace transforms?
[04:17:03] <toastyde1th> yeah
[04:17:04] <zeeshan> or laplace partial differential equation
[04:17:05] <zeeshan> oh
[04:17:58] <zeeshan> ODEs i used to solve that equation i posted earlier the mx" + cx' + kx = 0 shit
[04:18:04] <toastyde1th> ya
[04:18:13] <humble_sea_bass> my bad, talking PDE, but that and Controls/Dynamics are what suckered me into the complex analysis class
[04:18:17] <zeeshan> if it wasn't equatl to 0 and equal to some sin function, then you had to use another method
[04:18:35] <toastyde1th> annihilator method or superposition
[04:18:37] <zeeshan> in mechanical vibrations we had to solve em but also understand what was going on

[04:18:43] <zeeshan> i never learned annhilator
[04:18:50] <zeeshan> we did it through superposition
[04:18:59] <zeeshan> or through 'guessing'
[04:19:02] <toastyde1th> lol
[04:19:05] <zeeshan> what the solution is supposed to look like
[04:19:29] <zeeshan> that's all ODEs were useful for in my opinion
[04:19:32] <zeeshan> the beauty is in PDEs
[04:19:34] <toastyde1th> i'd have preferred to just learn laplace transforms
[04:19:51] <toastyde1th> rather than 400 methods to solve second order linear odes
[04:19:53] <zeeshan> i use that shit in heat transfer, fluid mechanics, CFD, strength of materials
[04:20:14] <toastyde1th> i'll probably never take a PDE class, i am horrible at memorization
[04:20:15] <zeeshan> they taught us how to solve that mx" blah blah equation using laplace transforms in the controls class
[04:20:27] <toastyde1th> i got a D in ODE because i couldn't memorize 40 tables of solutions
[04:20:36] <zeeshan> i dont think pde class has a lot of memorization
[04:20:41] <toastyde1th> understood all the linear algebra and basis for the solution
[04:20:50] <toastyde1th> just couldn't do the work without a book next to me
[04:20:52] <zeeshan> they teach you the wave equation, laplace equation, transport equation and stuf like that
[04:20:58] <zeeshan> which all has very real life applications
[04:21:29] <toastyde1th> yeah
[04:21:34] <toastyde1th> i wanted to learn more modeling
[04:21:46] <somenewguy> why the heck does axis keep claming i don't have aR value declared in my G81
[04:21:55] <zeeshan> like in my current CFD class which i have an exam for on wednesday
[04:22:09] <zeeshan> we're using laplace equation to solve a typical cavity heat transfer problem
[04:22:16] <zeeshan> its pretty frigging cool when you plot it all out using a computer
[04:22:32] <zeeshan> http://i.imgur.com/CCK8Wl7.png
[04:22:40] <zeeshan> the left and right walls are insulation
[04:22:49] <zeeshan> top is cold, bottom wall is hot
[04:23:02] <zeeshan> so you have natural convection happening which you can solve using the energy PDE
[04:23:12] <zeeshan> gives you fancy things like that
[04:23:34] <toastyde1th> maybe one day i'll be able to go back and take that class

[04:24:13] <zeeshan> you run 4-5 different programs within it
[04:24:23] <humble_sea_bass> anyways, we made dongs and tested how aerodynamic they were 8==D
[04:24:25] <zeeshan> i think the sub program is called CFX-MESH

[04:28:00] <zeeshan> im trying to specialize in plastic deformation
[04:28:05] <zeeshan> and that means learning more math stuff! tensors
[04:28:05] <somenewguy> that is why I take recreational arithmatic
[04:28:22] <zeeshan> whats that
[04:28:32] <somenewguy> my best friends dad 'adopted' me in highschool
[04:28:34] <zeeshan> usually people say 'i take recreational drugs'

[04:28:59] <somenewguy> stolen from dr who, but an accurate description
[04:29:26] <somenewguy> but anyways he is a brilliant mathamagician, MIT grad in aero, reads linear algebra books for fun
[04:29:49] <somenewguy> but when we get drunk he just rambles about whatever he is learning about, 90%$ of it goes over my head despite me being pretty good at the stuff, the man is in a league of his own
[04:29:50] <zeeshan> conceptual linear algebra is my weak point
[04:29:55] <zeeshan> as soon as people talk about vector spaces and stuff
[04:29:57] <zeeshan> i get very lost :{

[12:37:18] <GuShH_> Speaking of which, how come now I'm having to pick up a purchase, after the seller said he would send it over because "it's in my way to work" ?

[12:42:10] <GuShH_> archivist: well we already established as much but he was going to bring the extra stuff on his way to work
[12:42:21] <GuShH_> he wants me to pick it up at the automotive plant he works at...
[12:42:33] <GuShH_> not very convenient.
[12:43:58] <archivist> I went a long way for some assorted stereo zoom microscopes, came back with an HP 3562A, win
[12:44:00] <GuShH_> (2 hours lost for me, it would have been 30 minutes for him)
[12:44:19] <GuShH_> I just traced it on google maps, to figure out where the plant is at.
[12:44:41] <GuShH_> but it's ok.

[12:45:19] <GuShH_> archivist: he's got some jacobs chucks, some british keyless chucks and live centers I'm interested in, plus a lot of HSS bits I need (which is what I already purchased)... I doubt they've got much else at the plant
[12:45:48] <GuShH_> Faurecia is a big plant, they most likely run carbide insert on everything and they don't keep crap around.
[12:45:54] <GuShH_> assuming they manufacture stuff.
[12:46:06] <archivist> carbide is worth a reasonable amount scrap
[12:46:13] <GuShH_> (I'm kidding of course they do it's a massive plant)
[12:46:37] <GuShH_> But I think they deal with catalytic converters or similar stuff
[12:46:43] <GuShH_> So perhaps mostly stamping work
[12:47:07] <archivist> and welding/plating
[12:51:05] <GuShH_> most likely

[12:54:09] <archivist> after a bit of a clean and fix one key
[12:54:51] <archivist> sort of a dual spectrum/network analyser .001hs to 25khz

[14:55:23] <Jymmm> witnit: Where did the beige come from?
[14:55:58] <witnit> pre printed like that I suppose
[14:56:06] <TekniQue> witnit: is it a thermal transfer or does it use labels impregnated with thermal ink?
[14:56:13] <Jymmm> witnit: ah
[14:56:21] <witnit> preggers
[14:56:31] <TekniQue> k
[14:56:41] <witnit> I think?
[14:57:01] <TekniQue> yeah that's what it would be unless it has an ink ribbon
[14:57:02] <witnit> its only like $60 for 5800 labels on ebay
[14:57:19] <witnit> 4x4 though,. they are 4x6
[14:57:23] <TekniQue> I quite like my Dymo Rhino label printer
[14:57:29] <Jymmm> witnit: does the printer have a ribbon in it?
[14:57:33] <witnit> no
[14:57:39] <witnit> thermal print head I guess
[14:57:45] <Jymmm> k
[14:57:58] <witnit> I dont know much about these things but I know I got three of them now and they are awesome
[14:57:59] <Jymmm> so you use thermal labels
[14:58:09] <Jymmm> ?
[14:58:11] <witnit> with the network card in them
[14:58:12] <TekniQue> there's a good selection of labels available for it, including heat shrink tubing
[14:58:18] <TekniQue> very good for labelling wires
[14:58:26] <witnit> ooooh
[14:58:35] <Jymmm> witnit: where did you get some many ?
[14:58:37] <witnit> I think I want to do some more research on it now
[14:58:48] <Jymmm> so many
[14:58:51] <witnit> I buy bulk from this guy about 40 minutes away
[14:59:05] <TekniQue> and it has a module mode to print labels for things like circuit breakers
[14:59:05] <Jymmm> about how much?
[14:59:11] <witnit> and he had three so I got em all and like $500 worth of other stuff
[14:59:17] <witnit> 10 each... maybe...
[14:59:23] <TekniQue> where you enter the width of the modules and it'll align all the labels in the row accordingly
[14:59:24] <witnit> he gets me great deal
[14:59:44] <Jymmm> witnit: Oh man, I've been wanting one for years
[14:59:45] <witnit> wow tekni that sounds great
[14:59:51] <witnit> well I have three
[15:00:17] <Jymmm> witnit: Well, if oyu get a chance, mdel# and what your asking for me
[15:00:20] <witnit> I dont need three
[15:00:27] <Jymmm> one
[15:00:37] <witnit> I can come off off the lower resolution one.

[15:05:00] <TekniQue> that's the sensor interface and controller
[15:05:13] <Jymmm> TekniQue: Yeow, I think I'd use a different connector instead of two of them
[15:05:13] <TekniQue> ARM microcontroller and FPGA

[15:05:52] <Connor> TekniQue: Cool.. Way too many connectors.. :)

[15:06:57] <TekniQue> when I do I can reuse a project configuration file :)
[15:07:02] <witnit> yes!
[15:07:24] <TekniQue> in the PC software, I load a config file that defines all the inputs
[15:07:29] <TekniQue> and scales them to real units

[15:45:01] <witnit> its a bitch to get it working with linux imo
[15:45:32] <witnit> I use a windows so I dont have to try so hard hahaha
[15:46:13] <witnit> It did work with virtualbox too
[15:46:14] <Jymmm> witnit: HEy,um, the revision page of the manual says "roubleshooting tip on uneven print quality and ***ribbon wrinkling***." Are you SURE it doesn't use a ribbon???
[15:46:31] <witnit> Ill send you pics
[15:47:12] -!- arvidkahl has quit [Ping timeout: 258 seconds]
[15:47:52] <Jymmm> witnit: Pge 22 of the manual "If you plan to use thermal transfer mode, you must install a thermal transfer ribbon (TTR) to print in thermal transfer mode."
[15:47:55] <archivist> some thermals use ribbon or thermal paper/label
[15:48:37] <Jymmm> archivist: ah. (still reading)
[15:50:01] <_methods> any of you done a sieg x2 conversion?
[15:50:22] <_methods> trying to decide on conversion kit/style to use
[15:51:46] <Jymmm> witnit: Ah, I guess you need that "ribbon" when NOT using thermal labels.
[15:51:59] <witnit> yeah
[15:52:04] <witnit> these printers do everything
[15:52:09] <witnit> they even peel labels I guess
[15:52:15] <witnit> I dunno how though
[15:52:35] <witnit> some way of rerouting the paper
[15:52:38] <Jymmm> witnit: Black magic with a touch of poblano for flavor!
[15:52:59] <witnit> you can feed from a stack in a box like the old dot matrix

[15:56:51] <witnit> there is a photo at 2,3,4.jpg
[15:57:16] <MrHindsight> the wax ribbons are overpriced just like most inks
[15:57:29] <witnit> I bought a brother laser printer...
[15:57:32] <witnit> best choice ever
[15:57:40] <Jymmm> witnit: is that a 2" core plus the green spacers?

[15:58:10] <witnit> uhhh, CD for scale in one pic
[15:58:27] <cradek> old b&w office laser printer + walgreens for the rare time I want to print a photo = the winning combination

[18:50:37] <archivist> hehe
[18:51:08] <MrHindsight> thermal transfer uses a wax+polymer that gets transferred onto the label using heat, thermal printers just heat the paper/polymer to make dark spots
[18:51:18] <archivist> the Symbol and Wasp readers handle them ok
[18:51:48] <XXCoder> heh I just use declawed cuecat
[18:52:01] <XXCoder> itprobably wouldnt rrad that tiny barcode though

[18:53:22] <archivist> my calipers have a label added

[18:54:51] <Loetmichel> Connor: mine is below the machine
[18:54:53] <Connor> I need to make some sort of electrical box that has 3 or 4 plugs in it with a disconnect.. and goes back to the main power plug..
[18:55:53] <Connor> http://www.ivdc.com/cnc/mill_04_09_14_05.jpg Were it was..
[18:56:22] <Connor> Now, it's on rails below the chip tray, mounted like a normal 4U Server..
[18:57:07] <Connor> You can see my power plug to the right of it.. 1 for the PC, 1 for the steppers, 1 for the spindle and 1 aux.. for coolant or light or whatever...
[18:57:33] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=12569 <- mine

[18:58:14] <_methods> Connor: is that yoru spindle water pump containers?
[18:58:15] <Connor> I think I'll replace with a twist lock plug, and run it into a box with a disconnect to the left of the PC.. If it doesn't interfere with the coolant shutoff valve.
[18:58:39] <_methods> nice chip tray did you make it?
[18:58:42] <Connor> _methods: No, that's my flood coolant
[18:58:46] <_methods> ah nice
[18:58:47] <Connor> Yea.

[18:59:04] <XXCoder> I think
[19:00:03] <Connor> Not from the other day. That's the finial version. Only diff now is clear vinyl hose going into the cat littler bucket for the pump.
[19:01:10] <Connor> I REALLY wish I could run the spindle on separate line from the PC and steppers.
[19:01:20] <Connor> I can pull allot of amps..
[19:01:48] <Connor> wouldn't mind trying to figure out how to add a UPS into the PC..
[19:02:06] <Connor> but, I don't see how I can do that and get it all tied into one disconnect switch easily.

[19:52:58] <XXCoder> curious if you recycle your swarf into more material or just sell metal?
[19:53:00] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=14184 <- full case
[19:53:01] <Loetmichel> ;-)
[19:53:07] <Loetmichel> nothing
[19:53:13] <Loetmichel> just give it the scrap man
[19:53:17] <XXCoder> looks nice
[19:53:19] <XXCoder> oh cool
[19:53:28] <XXCoder> as long as not trash
[19:55:00] <Einar> 10XX aluminum is no good for castings. And swarf only ends up as oxides anyway. So not good for (home) remelting.
[19:55:32] <Loetmichel> especially when the mill makes more "aluminium Dust" than swarf ;-)
[19:55:55] <Loetmichel> you can see it here as i milled a thread with a engraving bit:
[19:56:01] <XXCoder> makes sense. I recall white strips on alum swarf when I was watching friend work lathe
[19:56:02] <Einar> Mix with clear laquer to make metallic?
[19:56:06] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=14820&g2_imageViewsIndex=1
[19:56:48] <Einar> Are you making threads on the bolt head too? ;-)
[19:57:09] <Loetmichel> no, thats just from a small milling bit
[19:57:13] <XXCoder> I guess it was completing rough run and have yet to smooth
[19:57:15] <Loetmichel> thr traces
[19:57:43] <Loetmichel> they disappear after sanding with a 600 frit paper
[19:57:47] <Loetmichel> grit
[19:57:52] <Loetmichel> ists just optics
[19:58:26] <Loetmichel> the octagon(!) head faces are flat
[19:58:40] <Loetmichel> no, i made the BOLT with the mill
[19:58:46] <Loetmichel> including the thread
[19:58:49] <XXCoder> nice
[19:58:57] <Loetmichel> and that is 7075
[19:58:58] <XXCoder> it sure looked rough. fun illusion
[20:00:33] <Loetmichel> i was surely surprised how easy it is to make a perfect fit thread with a 30° engraving bit ;-)
[20:01:09] <XXCoder> how tight was threads? I recalls grades.. 1 to 5, 5 being REALLY tight
[20:01:20] <Loetmichel> tight?
[20:01:23] <Loetmichel> as in fit?
[20:01:32] <XXCoder> how tight screw fits
[20:02:09] <Loetmichel> it fits snugly into a inside thread cutted with a std M16*2mm 3 flute cutter
[20:02:22] <Loetmichel> and rotated like dampened with oil
[20:02:22] <XXCoder> nice
[20:02:44] <Loetmichel> no clunking around, no rough run, like a charm
[20:02:53] <XXCoder> if I recall, cheap bolts tend to be 1, bit loose but good enough, average qual;ity is 3, 5 tend to be made for airplanes
[20:03:05] -!- skunkworks__ has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[20:03:29] <Loetmichel> the bolt was drilled through an put a power key in.
[20:03:46] <Loetmichel> one of these: http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=11570
[20:03:59] <Loetmichel> ... and a long aluminium bar on the inside
[20:04:11] <XXCoder> so its bolt with power button on it?
[20:04:18] <Loetmichel> and then it fits in the back of there, to press the internal Power switch
[20:04:38] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=14769
[20:05:50] <Loetmichel> because the case will be sealed with tamper labels

[20:38:40] <Connor> So, thoughts on using this http://www.homedepot.com/p/Hubbell-TayMac-2-Gang-Weatherproof-Pole-Switch-Toggle-Cover-Wall-Plate-Gray-TC221S/202284519?N=5yc1vZbohm with 2 two amp switches for my disconnect ?
[20:38:55] -!- zlog_ [zlog_!~zlog@ip24-255-188-115.ks.ks.cox.net] has joined #linuxcnc
[20:39:20] <Jymmm> disconnect what?
[20:40:41] <Connor> Well.. to Going to make a power strip so to speak.. change out my 2 duplex plugs on wall for a twist lock.. and run power into a pvc box, with that on the front.. and have 2 x duplex outlets on the back that the PC, the spindle, and stepper PSU plug into.
[20:41:36] <Connor> Other option would be to mount switches IN the PC case since it's rack mount now.. and I can open the front up, and flip the switches on it..
[20:41:44] <Jymmm> Oh, so you are using an old PC case for an enclosure?
[20:41:55] <Connor> Rack mount 4U
[20:41:59] <Connor> 24" Deep.
[20:42:07] <Jymmm> one thing to consider...
[20:42:53] <Connor> has 3 Plugs.. 1 for the PC PSU, and the other two are wired up to the stepper PSU and spindle speed controller.
[20:43:04] <Jymmm> IF the outlets are going to be computer controlled, are those 2x switches master shutoff?
[20:43:56] <Jymmm> If they are, do you ever want to MANUALLY turn on whatever is plugged into the utlets with out computer control?
[20:43:57] <Connor> No, the outlets aren't.. Just trying to give myself a master switch so I don't have to unplug them all the time.
[20:44:27] <Jymmm> So you dont want to automatically trun/on/off coolant when a job is compelted?
[20:44:55] <Connor> That's a separate issue. :) Yes. the coolant will be both computer and manual.

[20:45:09] <Connor> I found a 12v 5amp power brick I can use.
[20:45:11] <Jymmm> Then those onw-way switches alone won't do it.
[20:45:42] <Jymmm> you would need OFF/AUTO/ON or soemthign liek that.
[20:45:58] <Jymmm> Unless you do some creative wiring =)
[20:46:24] -!- skunkworks [skunkworks!~chatzilla@str-broadband-ccmts-ws-26.dsl.airstreamcomm.net] has joined #linuxcnc
[20:46:42] <Jymmm> You *could* get away using two/three-way switches potentially
[20:46:57] <Connor> I'll be using a SSR to provide 120v to the power brick, which will be connected to the pump.
[20:47:22] <Jymmm> how many watts is the pump?
[20:47:53] <Connor> Not sure.. really didn't say.. it's 800GPH 12v bilge pump.
[20:48:05] <Jymmm> no idea
[20:48:14] <Jymmm> Just SSR need heatsinks
[20:48:32] <Connor> Looks like 2amps continues 5amps surge..
[20:48:41] <Connor> the SSR are good ones..
[20:48:47] <Jymmm> doens't matter
[20:48:55] <Jymmm> Check their thermal ratings =)
[20:49:08] <Jymmm> At 2A that's 250 Watts
[20:49:23] <Connor> let me see if I can find them...
[20:49:30] <Jymmm> At 5A tha'ts about 600 Watts
[20:49:35] -!- mejackreed has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[20:50:30] <Connor> They're rated for 25Amps.

[20:57:54] <Connor> 1 for spindle. 1 for coolant pump
[20:58:45] <Connor> and looks like I can wire a switch up in parallel on the contacts of the SSR
[20:58:46] <Deejay> gn8
[20:58:51] <Jymmm> youll need two of these, one each http://www.amazon.com/Amico-Aluminum-Solid-State-Dissipation/dp/B005D6145G/ref=pd_sim_misc_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0ZDJ7TFFHY6PHJHXMF8K

[21:00:25] <Jymmm> at 5A ?
[21:00:53] <Connor> I have NO idea what the vacuum cleaner is.. is't a large 16 gallon shop vac.
[21:00:55] <Jymmm> As long as you are under that MAX operating temp, you're good.

[21:01:29] <Connor> the one in the PC case is mounted against the case itself.. so that would act as a heat sink too.
[21:01:32] <Jymmm> If you get near/over, then you'll need a heatsink
[21:01:34] <Connor> I'll probe it.
[21:01:46] <Jymmm> Just FYI
[21:01:55] <Connor> with my IR thermometer..
[21:02:13] <Jymmm> Sure, that works but measure the metal back plate, not the plastic =)
[21:02:32] <Connor> I will. :)
[21:03:42] <Connor> so, I'll wire a 120v switch in parallel with the SSR for the coolant pump.
[21:04:24] <Jymmm> If you do that, you can't bypass computer control.
[21:04:38] <Jymmm> BAD IDEA IMO
[21:05:19] <Jymmm> If you are changing tooling, and the computer wacks out, there goes a hand/finger.
[21:05:22] <Connor> I might be able to with a 3 way.. let me draw it out..
[21:05:31] <Connor> for coolant ?
[21:05:44] <Jymmm> If you want to rely upon a 50¢ switch =)
[21:06:15] <Jymmm> coolant lines can come out of tank and squirt in face, sure.
[21:06:29] <Jymmm> Just sayin'

[22:13:53] <JesusAlos> E350M1 don't have paralel port
[22:13:56] <_methods> how much would you pay?

[22:15:07] <NickParker> I mean in an ideal world 0, but if there's really no usable FOSS, $400 or so
[22:15:20] * NickParker should mention he's 18, and got the mill for free
[22:15:27] <_methods> bobcad/cam is the only thing in that range i think
[22:15:32] <MrHindsight> JesusAlos: yeah, we use them mostly with FPGA
[22:15:35] <_methods> that's why i threw out 2 options
[22:15:44] <_methods> heekscam is free and makes perfectly fine gcode
[22:16:23] <NickParker> Can you link heekscam? I found a bunch of talk about it, but the only download link I found was an empty sourceforge.

[22:48:00] <MrHindsight> nice t-slot for clamps and also lots of area for the resin to grip
[22:48:06] <humble_sea_bass> after you hit the sack, we were talking about hussling up a recipe from some academic papers.

[22:51:20] <humble_sea_bass> right?
[22:51:40] <MrHindsight> reading the backlog now
[22:51:49] <MrHindsight> 10-20%
[22:51:55] <andypugh> Not free, but under you budget, (£93)
[22:53:12] <MrHindsight> humble_sea_bass: 3d printed lenses for telescopes is possible
[22:53:30] <MrHindsight> already doing optics for eyeglasses
[22:54:15] <humble_sea_bass> oh that crazy aside was about the object mirror
[22:55:19] <NickParker> andypugh: That does look rather more polished.
[22:55:50] <humble_sea_bass> the process is almost medieval and everyone has a slightly different process which is tedious to no end
[22:55:52] <MrHindsight> granite surface plate with t-slot bolted to the top and then surfaced should also work
[22:55:52] <NickParker> I'll probably use heekscad until i run into stuff I can't do with it, then upgrade to something.
[22:56:12] <_methods> yeah i've never tried cambam
[22:56:21] <_methods> i hear it mentioned quite a bit
[22:56:29] <andypugh> It works.
[22:57:16] <_methods> that's a good thing lol
[22:57:26] <andypugh> CamBam did the paths for these: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/bovTD2Dm9PYPPy6e6OshK9MTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink

[22:58:08] <_methods> i've never used either
[22:58:21] <andypugh> FreeMill is a bit limited, and Windows only. (IIRC)
[22:59:11] <shaun413_> is a southbend 9a a good choice?

[23:00:35] <andypugh> CamBam amde the pockets.
[23:00:45] <Tom_itx> looks like they turned out good
[23:01:06] <humble_sea_bass> its ok, that one threded rod can handle it
[23:01:07] <XXCoder> wow. that cnc Z is weird
[23:01:28] <humble_sea_bass> also bearings love to loaded laterally
[23:01:56] <_methods> hahah what is up with that z prox sensor
[23:02:15] <_methods> the gantry is stationary lol
[23:02:29] <andypugh> In fact, I gave CamBam a model of the two parts and told it to do two “Waterline Roughing” paths, followed by a “Pocket” with the ball-nose. Picking the profiles to use was the time-consuming bit.
[23:02:44] <_methods> wow it does waterline
[23:03:19] <andypugh> Here are the part being made; https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/CSu6UI0YPPadVzIdnFPyFtMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink
[23:04:06] <Tom_itx> did the hot glue come off ok?
[23:04:08] <andypugh> (Held in a fixture with hot-melt glue, as they taper awkwardly)
[23:04:16] <andypugh> Yes, after I got some IPA.
[23:04:19] <Tom_itx> did you use solvent after reheating to remove it completely?

[23:06:51] <andypugh> Tom_itx: The pockets were CNC machined to be only .01” bigger than the parts.
[23:07:11] <Tom_itx> you machined the hot glue first?
[23:07:18] <andypugh> And I had a reference hole in the fixture to hole-probe.ngc as the datum.
[23:07:18] <Tom_itx> then baked em?
[23:07:33] <MrHindsight> http://images.craigslist.org/00606_8vR7RToS7pp_600x450.jpg which series is this? J head with what body?
[23:07:44] <Tom_itx> i've never tried hotglue to hold parts yet
[23:08:18] <andypugh> Tom_itx: There is an aluminium fixture, with good-fitting pockets for the parts. The hot glue just holds the parts down in the pockets.
[23:08:24] <Tom_itx> we would have probably pocketed some vise jaws to hold em
[23:08:31] <Tom_itx> ahh ok
[23:08:32] <_methods> looks like series 1
[23:08:39] <_methods> wiht the 7" extension

[23:09:28] <_methods> hrmm no dovetail on the headstock
[23:09:32] <_methods> the round version
[23:09:42] <MrHindsight> the bridgeport comes complete with collets endmills indicators drills parralels and 2 rotery tables.

[23:09:57] <_methods> how much?

[23:10:20] <MrHindsight> $850 or best
[23:10:36] <_methods> i'd hit him with $600
[23:11:03] <_methods> even if it's a total disaster you can get that much in scrap on it
[23:11:06] <MrHindsight> I have enough already
[23:11:26] <andypugh> Ah, no, it’s a Mk2 with the worm to rotate the ram
[23:12:01] <_methods> yeah i don't know what kind of trouble you can get into with that
[23:12:18] <_methods> even if you lock it down it's still a bridgeport
