[00:25:23] <somenewguy> question on putting a 4th axis on my mill
[00:25:34] <Meduza> yes?
[00:25:39] <somenewguy> what is the typical sign conventionand axis naming?

[00:26:07] <somenewguy> obviously I can doit however I want, but if there is a "normal" way of doing it Id rather try and coform
[00:26:30] <somenewguy> like should A rotate normal to X travel or Y travel etc
[00:26:31] <Meduza> If the 4th is a classic rotary axis mounted in paralell with the X axis i would call it a A axis
[00:26:49] <Meduza> on a classic mill type machine
[00:26:54] <somenewguy> ok
[00:27:14] <somenewguy> so traveling in the X direction would move you towards or away from the face of the rotary plate
[00:27:19] <somenewguy> if it were the A axis
[00:27:41] <somenewguy> I would take it B would be off the Y and C off the Z?
[00:28:09] <somenewguy> notthatthethird location would actually add any utility to a cnc mill
[00:28:44] <Meduza> yeah
[00:31:22] <somenewguy> ok cool
[00:32:34] <somenewguy> now I just need to find my stash of DE-9 connectors and I'll have a 4 axis mill
[00:33:04] <somenewguy> just got some din rail so I can actually mount my misc components inside my controls box, good by zip ties, hello almost professional looking

[00:40:02] <jdh> machine built wheels. I think the rim tape is manual though

[00:44:15] <andypugh> jdh: I can’t help speculating. Machine-built sounds like bicycle wheels. Rim tape (manual) sounds like motorcycle (cast) wheels. Except for the rim liner tape on bicycle wheels, but I don’t knw why that would be notably manual or machine.
[00:45:36] <andypugh> I made a wheel building stand today, hopefully the post office has the spokes. Odd wheel, 50mm through the bearing.
[00:45:40] <jdh> had 3 flats before I noticed the rim liner (bicycle) was not centered on one part. someone asked who built the (faulty) wheels.
[00:46:29] <andypugh> I had some Shimano rims that needed a strong cloth tape to bridge the nipple holes.
[00:47:19] <jdh> this tape is fine, it was just not in the right place.
[00:47:55] <andypugh> A new departure for the wheel I will build tomorrow, beaded rim.
[00:48:13] <andypugh> Bits of the tyre itself act as rim tape.
[00:48:31] <andypugh> Sorry, “beaded edge”

[01:12:23] <andypugh> There is no strong bead loop, they do actually fall off sometimes, which is almost never a good thing. But as the Ner-a-Car has only 3hp that’s probably not too much of a worry.

[02:27:12] <toastyde2th> wut
[02:27:18] <toastyde2th> how high is high production
[02:27:20] <toastyde2th> 10k parts a month?
[02:27:27] <witnit> 10,000 is good
[02:27:31] <witnit> 100,000 is better
[02:27:46] <toastyde2th> screw machine shop?
[02:27:49] <witnit> yup
[02:27:53] <witnit> acmes, and davenports
[02:28:02] <witnit> some single spindles hanging out too
[02:28:06] <toastyde2th> always wanted to run an acme
[02:28:14] <toastyde2th> never got the chance
[02:28:26] <witnit> well, bring a job with you and you can run mine

[02:28:35] <witnit> :)

[02:31:55] <XXCoder> lol
[02:33:07] <witnit> I really like this 7i90, I think I want another one.
[02:33:37] <XXCoder> whats it
[02:34:56] <witnit> one of the mesa cards with three 50 pin connectors and it has serial and epp printer port options
[02:37:22] <toastyde2th> witnit, never
[02:38:06] <toastyde2th> ran some lathes but never more than 200 parts in a run
[02:38:32] <toastyde2th> job shop type stuff
[02:38:56] <toastyde2th> mostly chucker crap, from about 1"x3" to 20"x20"
[02:39:01] <witnit> ohh, toasty, imagine pumping out a brass compression sleeve every .8 seconds
[02:39:27] <witnit> just bangin em out =D
[02:39:34] <toastyde2th> i've seen em run, just wished i could learn setup
[02:39:51] <witnit> its not too bad, in fact the more spindles and tooling, the easier
[02:40:52] <toastyde2th> my co-worker used to run a multispindle, he made artillery fuzes
[02:41:00] <toastyde2th> 4"x8"
[02:41:37] <witnit> you may have to set three different chamfer tools up but you only ever are working on one spindle at a time so its like, setting up three small lathes instead of 3 things on one lathe
[02:41:42] <witnit> :)
[02:41:51] <toastyde2th> i got out of machining and went back into IT after like 3/4 years
[02:41:51] <toastyde2th> so
[02:42:21] <witnit> yeah, I dont like getting too dirty anymore
[02:42:52] <witnit> I prefer to get a little dirty on a setup and let the other guys keep them loaded
[02:43:01] <toastyde2th> yeah
[02:43:05] <toastyde2th> that was the one thing i didn't like
[02:43:44] <toastyde2th> the stuff we did was mostly our own product, so there wasn't enough programming and drawing work for me to do those things dedicated
[02:44:09] <toastyde2th> kinda dumb, actually - we had just as many machinists as machines, no operators
[02:44:14] <toastyde2th> kinda dumb way to run a shop but whatever

[02:54:46] <witnit> they are quite valued
[02:56:09] <witnit> and one thing I learned is a good machinist can make good parts on bad machines and bad machinists will make bad parts on good machines.

[03:04:25] <PetefromTn_> I just got back from Knoxvegas.
[03:04:37] <XXCoder> as a winner? lok
[03:04:46] <PetefromTn_> Went to look at some tools a retiring machinist was selling.

[03:04:57] <PetefromTn_> He had some GOODIES in there...
[03:05:03] <PetefromTn_> ;)
[03:05:22] <XXCoder> ah you cured your light wallet syndome eh
[03:05:28] <XXCoder> er HEAVY wallet
[03:05:46] <PetefromTn_> He had a BUNCH of stuff I would like to have gotten but I did not have enough cash.
[03:06:04] <PetefromTn_> But what I did get I think I got GREAT deals on.
[03:06:47] <PetefromTn_> I got a BRAND NEW in the box Mitutoyo 8" coolant proof digital caliper complete with battery, certs everything never been used.
[03:07:12] <PetefromTn_> I got a nice condition Brown and Sharp best test DTI .0005
[03:07:29] <PetefromTn_> I got a decent 0-3
[03:07:37] <PetefromTn_> depth micrometer I have been needing.
[03:08:06] <PetefromTn_> I also got a bunch of cool DTI indicator holders for mounting in and on the spindle
[03:08:31] <PetefromTn_> I got a couple nice condition vise stops that clamp on the jaws,
[03:08:57] <PetefromTn_> I got a brand new pistol grip air nozzle like comes on the Haas machines for my Cincinatti.
[03:09:19] <PetefromTn_> I got a brand new bottle of Diekem and tap magic
[03:09:34] <witnit> tap magic
[03:09:45] <PetefromTn_> some nice old lathe inside calipers
[03:09:45] <witnit> that stuff is like gold
[03:09:53] <PetefromTn_> yup its good stuff.
[03:10:00] <XXCoder> nice
[03:10:11] <witnit> so you took pictures right? :)
[03:10:13] <XXCoder> not sure what half those stuff is but sounds nice lol

[03:11:13] <XXCoder> wow, I saw the largest surface ever
[03:11:15] <PetefromTn_> sweet man how did it go?
[03:11:22] <XXCoder> It must have been 6' by 10'
[03:11:31] <XXCoder> I can't imange how much it was
[03:11:33] <PetefromTn_> no pictures yet just got back home
[03:12:09] <toastyde2th> how thick was it
[03:12:15] <PetefromTn_> I am pretty sure that 8" brand new Mitutoyo coolant proof caliper costs more than what I paid for everything.
[03:12:18] <XXCoder> but yeah mostly boring stuff like videos orention and such. i'll start on assembling wire holders so not too fancy. I do want to evenually train on cnc machines there.
[03:12:29] <XXCoder> toastyde2th: looked like 8 inches, but I was pretty far off it
[03:12:45] <toastyde2th> 10-15k
[03:13:10] <XXCoder> hm was thinking around car-ish (more fancy) prices lol like 30k
[03:13:24] <toastyde2th> nah, big granite doesn't cost a ton if it's thin
[03:13:34] <toastyde2th> usually big plates like that will be feet thick
[03:13:44] <XXCoder> it could be, I was more than 15 feet away
[03:13:48] <toastyde2th> we had a plate that was 5x12 or so, but it was 4' tall
[03:13:56] <XXCoder> so my eyeball has around 20% error rate
[03:14:12] <XXCoder> whoa thats hella thick
[03:14:25] <toastyde2th> ya, big plates need to be thick so you can put heavy parts on em
[03:14:42] <toastyde2th> something that size that's only a foot thick will bend a lot
[03:14:53] <toastyde2th> most shops are fine with this because they're not dropping parts that weigh a ton
[03:15:01] <toastyde2th> it's usually just awkwardly sized stuff
[03:15:17] <XXCoder> it looked like it had massive amount of support
[03:15:31] <XXCoder> like it'd hold up couple tons
[03:15:33] <toastyde2th> it does, but that doesn't help the accuracy because of the type of support it has
[03:15:35] <PetefromTn_> http://www.penntoolco.com/catalog/products/products.cfm?categoryID=6988 that is the caliper I got...
[03:15:37] <XXCoder> but then what do I know
[03:15:39] <toastyde2th> the issue is not "is it supported"
[03:15:46] <toastyde2th> the issue is "does the reference surface move when you add load"
[03:15:48] <PetefromTn_> the 8" hardened jaws model brand new in box.
[03:16:01] <XXCoder> nice pete :)
[03:16:21] <XXCoder> considering that alone covers half of $200 you used
[03:16:37] <toastyde2th> if you pay for a plate to be AA grade or whatevs, it's a waste of money if the plate goes out of spec because the part weight makes the table concave

[03:16:48] <PetefromTn_> yeah I am pretty pleased....
[03:16:50] <XXCoder> makes sense
[03:17:27] <XXCoder> I'm glad I dont need all that much precision. I hope my cnc reaches around 0.1 mm precision which is enough to learn
[03:17:39] <toastyde2th> you can buy AA grade plates that are tiny
[03:17:49] <toastyde2th> and they do just fine because you aren't able to fit a half-ton part on them
[03:17:59] <XXCoder> since I plan to make boxed gantry it probably would easily surpass that
[03:18:06] <toastyde2th> a 12x24 plate or thereabouts is like 200-300 brand new
[03:18:14] <XXCoder> interesting
[03:18:38] <PetefromTn_> http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BROWN-SHARPE-BesTest-Dial-Test-Indicator-0005-0-15-0-599-7030-3-/191128084799 Thats the same indicator I got...
[03:19:21] <XXCoder> heh if I ever have plety money i wanna try make expoxy grinate
[03:19:27] <XXCoder> cant spell that word :P
[03:19:28] <toastyde2th> plate accuracy only gets expensive on larger plates because the laps they use to surface the plates start to get wavy at like 3"
[03:19:42] <toastyde2th> or rather will put a waviness in the plate at about 3'
[03:20:00] <toastyde2th> flattening a 24" plate is like hitting the side of a barn
[03:20:14] <toastyde2th> hard to miss
[03:21:38] <XXCoder> cool
[03:21:45] <PetefromTn_> http://www.mscdirect.com/product/01297076 Got one of these in there too...

[03:32:40] <PetefromTn_> Going to look at a Fowler set of depth mics tomorrow. They look brand new too. trying to get some decent quality tools here for my work. Tired of the chinese crap I have been using.

[03:35:25] <witnit> good for you pete, money well spent
[03:36:10] <PetefromTn_> Thanks man I have not had tools like this and it sure was nice to get a good deal.
[03:36:28] <PetefromTn_> looking at new prices on some of it I got a REAL good deal I think.
[03:36:47] <PetefromTn_> Still hurt to blow the money but as they say cry once and enjoy a quality tool for years.
[03:37:12] <toastyde2th> recommendation, get everything combination vernier and digital
[03:37:24] <toastyde2th> all my mics no matter what type have both

[14:16:08] <MrTrick> can anyone recommend a gcode-over-serial controller like the grbl, that also can drive a servo? I only need two axes, but I need a servo as well.
[14:16:23] <MrTrick> (and I need proper motion planning, so the eibotboard won't do)
[14:19:36] <Tom_itx> serial would be rather slow
[14:21:36] <MrTrick> In practice it's not, actually. I've used a grbl before for a previous version of the project, worked fine.
[14:21:50] <MrTrick> Unfortunately, the grbl software has no support for driving servos.
[14:22:15] <MrTrick> (and in that project I needed a whole separate board just for servo control)
[14:22:39] <pcw_home> add servo support to grbl...
[14:22:51] <MrTrick> That would be yak shaving.

[14:34:27] <archivist> price
[14:34:32] <MrTrick> price of what though?
[14:34:47] <MrTrick> For most jobs, I charge $85 for one hour of my time. I'm not saving anyone money by spending hours and hours faffing about in software when I could just buy an extra controller for the servo.
[14:35:25] <MrTrick> It's only my desire for a clean design that makes me wonder whether an alternative to the grbl exists.
[14:35:26] <archivist> use linuxcnc on a pc and stop faffing about with toys like grbl
[14:36:43] <MrTrick> actually, this is not for any kind of machine tool. I just happen to need stepper motors and motion planning etc. Other than the need for servo control, grbl is in fact overkill, featurewise.
[14:37:40] <MrTrick> (and I wasn't aware of another CNC-related channel, I know #linuxcnc isn't the best place for the discussion)
[14:38:14] <archivist> the most configurable thing is linuxcnc which seems a requirement

[16:54:29] <PetefromTn_> Really cannot afford to spend $500.00 plus on a Kurt but I am finding that when you buy one you don't have this kinda bullshit problems.
[16:54:32] <MrHindsight> yup
[16:55:13] <MrHindsight> I bought a couple of the Shars Kurt copies, they are fine
[16:55:20] <PetefromTn_> REALLY????
[16:55:32] <PetefromTn_> I have a Shars CNC vise and I am finding it is a Piece of shit.
[16:55:42] <PetefromTn_> which models do you have?
[16:56:18] <humble_sea_bass> Another effort from Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) would expand the protections for software patents by widening a transitional program created by the 2011 America Invents Act. The bill passed by the House last year originally contained a similar provision, but House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) pulled the measure amid heavy lobbying from opponents, including software giants like Microsoft and Apple.

[16:56:42] <humble_sea_bass> i love how my senator is always on somebodies pocket
[16:57:06] <PetefromTn_> Is the frackin' bed actually flat?
[16:57:23] <MrHindsight> PetefromTn_: mine are fine
[16:57:30] <PetefromTn_> Does the movable jaw lift when you clamp stuff?
[16:57:57] <PetefromTn_> I would LOVE to be able to buy two of those over ONE kurt but I am not wanting to get another piece of shit here.
[16:58:24] <PetefromTn_> You are the same guy as CaptainHindsight correct?
[16:58:26] <MrHindsight> not at all, I just notice a bit of oxidation if I leave the coolant over the weekend
[16:58:33] <MrHindsight> but it wipes right off
[16:58:48] <PetefromTn_> well that happens with ANY vise..

[16:58:55] <MrHindsight> yes, just on a different puter
[16:59:20] <MrHindsight> I use 2 side by side in the Matsuura
[16:59:21] <PetefromTn_> Lemme ask you have you actually checked the vise with a quality DTI or on a surface plate?
[17:00:12] <PetefromTn_> Everywhere I read on Pro forums they all say the Chinese ones are JUNK including the shars it is nice to hear from someone who actually owns two of them...
[17:00:26] <PetefromTn_> I can tell you the cnc one I have is NOT flat or square.
[17:00:27] <MrHindsight> yes, I even used them to make parts for very high precision machines
[17:00:34] <MrHindsight> Shars is near me
[17:00:57] <MrHindsight> now some of the Shars stuff is junk
[17:01:25] <MrHindsight> but I've had no issues with either vise
[17:02:03] <MrHindsight> I have a 50 year old Palmgren that is a piece of junk
[17:02:22] <MrHindsight> came with a Bridgeport
[17:03:42] <MrHindsight> PetefromTn_: which one?
http://www.shars.com/products/view/8140/6quot_660U_CNC_Milling_Machine_Vise_00004quot__ ?
[17:03:47] <PetefromTn_> Damn man now ya got me thinking here... You SWEAR to me that the vise is nice and flat and the fixed jaw is square to the bed and the movable jaw does not lift...
[17:04:17] <MrHindsight> those jaws fit very tight, no movement whatsoever
[17:04:18] <PetefromTn_> No not that one I have the older one they apparently do not sell anymore.
[17:04:45] <PetefromTn_> I think that CNC one you just linked to is a newer model.
[17:05:02] <PetefromTn_> Mine is red on the sides. Really not happy with it.
[17:05:28] <PetefromTn_> A couple weeks ago I was clamping something and making a part and then I noticed this little round thing on the table.
[17:05:45] <PetefromTn_> Turned out it was the freaking contact point for the angle lock had FALLEN OUT!!
[17:05:53] <MrHindsight> they come with a certificate now, they have the QC inspection measurements on a print
[17:05:55] <PetefromTn_> I have not contacted them about it yet.
[17:06:02] <MrHindsight> same for the surface plates
[17:06:30] <PetefromTn_> So if you take a quality DTI and run it across both beds left to right they are FLAT???
[17:06:39] <MrHindsight> mine are
[17:06:50] <PetefromTn_> and you have actually checked them...

[17:07:54] <MrHindsight> where are the threads about them? on cnczone?
[17:08:01] <PetefromTn_> no on PM.
[17:08:24] <PetefromTn_> Sure would be nice to get TWO matching vises that are decent for the price of a single Kurt.
[17:08:32] <MrHindsight> yes, 690V
[17:08:50] <PetefromTn_> Do the handles turn smoothly and are the screws machined nicely? Mine is NOT smooth and turns kinda wobbly a tad.

[17:09:12] <PetefromTn_> Is the second one bed precisely the same height as the first?
[17:09:28] <MrHindsight> I figured how bad can they be I can always use them as a work vise to just hold things

[17:10:24] <PetefromTn_> It does appear the newer ones you have are made much nicer they even look much nicer in the pictures.
[17:10:53] <MrHindsight> they rarely scrap parts in China, as you've noticed with the Bondo machine bases

[17:11:38] <MrHindsight> "Our newest V series vises can compete head-to-head with other popular brand's vise on the market and outperform in a highly demanding manufacturing environment. Improving on industry standards, 690V vise has the tightest tolerance on key specifications such as clamping repeatability, bed height, parrallelism between bedway and base, and perpendicularity between jaw plate and bedway and improvement to prevent jaw lifting on movable jaws.
[17:11:38] <MrHindsight> 690V is designed and manufactured to be the ultimate vise at an affordable price and back by lifetime limited warranty."
[17:11:53] <MrHindsight> they are all serial numbered
[17:12:02] <MrHindsight> so if you get a bad one return it
[17:12:52] <MrHindsight> I think they said that they started making these only about 1 year ago
[17:13:36] <PetefromTn_> Huh.. Nice to hear about warrantee but I wonder how good that warrantee is when you have a problem.
[17:13:49] <PetefromTn_> I bought this one about a year ago.
[17:13:57] <PetefromTn_> They no longer have it on their site.
[17:13:57] <MrHindsight> well it's just an hour drive for me

[17:18:00] <PetefromTn_> I wonder if I call them and BITCH about this boat anchor if they will cut me a deal on a pair of them. Maybe take care of my shipping or something.
[17:18:14] <MrHindsight> it makes parts for the $250K 5 axis printers

[17:45:32] <archivist> you might find starrett is all mouth and no trousers
[17:45:43] <MrHindsight> compare Chinese um/inch to uhmerican?
[17:45:47] <zeeshan> PetefromTn_: a lot of craftsman old stuff was made by starrett
[17:45:54] <zeeshan> becareful with the fowler, if its old its prolly made in usa
[17:45:56] <zeeshan> if its new its a chinese model
[17:46:02] <humble_sea_bass> What kind of oil can I use on the DTI, what viscosity I mean

[17:46:39] <zeeshan> i dont know its composition
[17:46:43] <zeeshan> but apparently its a very light oil.
[17:46:50] <zeeshan> comparable to sewing machine oil
[17:47:03] <zeeshan> you only need 1 drop for it according to starrett to lubricate a micrometer
[17:47:19] <PetefromTn_> Yeah I dunno about the Fowler I will look at it when I see it and find out.
[17:47:31] <PetefromTn_> It sure looks nice in the pics.
[17:47:35] <humble_sea_bass> I still have a gallon of sewing machine oil from when my mom ran a sweat shop. thing must be 20 years old
[17:47:41] <humble_sea_bass> that stuff ages well, right
[17:47:49] <zeeshan> most depth mics are only good to 1 thou anyway
[17:47:52] <zeeshan> im sure chinese or usa will work
[17:48:00] <PetefromTn_> The Craftsman is very nice and I spent some time adjusting the different rods to zero this afternoon on my granite surface plate.

[17:51:06] <PetefromTn_> Dunno what you are looking at but they have some at work that are pretty damn precise. Mitutoyo digital depth mics are good to a tenth I thought that is what they use at work.

[17:51:19] <zeeshan> not the vernier style
[17:51:22] <zeeshan> if its digital then yea
[17:51:28] <zeeshan> but the vernier ones only have 0.001 grads
[17:51:53] <PetefromTn_> I ALMOST bought a set of the Mitu Digital depth mics from that guy yesterday.
[17:52:01] <PetefromTn_> They were a 0-9" set I think.

[17:52:23] <archivist> there are/were 0001 grads on some better mit
[17:52:35] <zeeshan> how do you get a precise measurement
[17:52:46] <archivist> carefully
[17:52:49] <zeeshan> =)
[17:52:54] <PetefromTn_> Only reason I did not was because there was some kinda tight spot in the rotation.
[17:53:17] <PetefromTn_> Not terrible but it was enought to make me step back from them. They sure LOOKED nice tho.
[17:53:20] <PetefromTn_> Price was right.
[17:53:21] <zeeshan> pete i recently acquired a 8-9" mitutoyo 0.0001 mic
[17:53:24] <zeeshan> it was seized
[17:53:25] <zeeshan> free
[17:53:39] <zeeshan> i disassembled it, cleaned up the corrosion on the anvil with a scotch brite
[17:53:44] <zeeshan> lubricated wit hthat fluid
[17:53:50] <zeeshan> calibrated, and it works! :D
[17:53:57] <zeeshan> i hear the digital ones are a lot harder to fix
[17:54:22] <zeeshan> dunno when ill need to ever use a 8-9" mic
[17:54:32] <zeeshan> maybe if i need to measure my big head precisely
[17:54:54] <humble_sea_bass> ctually most people are far too sanguine concerning the accuracy of measurement instruments. Conway comments that the expected accuracy of a micrometer reading with a skilled user can be taken as ± 0.0002 so it is therefore useless to measure parts whose tolerance is less than 0.002 with a micrometer because the error in reading represents at least 20% of the tolerance. Far too many users will be happy with the first part of the previous sentence but wi
[17:55:01] <humble_sea_bass> I like that clive guy
[17:55:37] <zeeshan> well one good way on how to learn how to use a mic and vernier
[17:55:40] <zeeshan> is with a gauge block
[17:55:54] <zeeshan> only needs to be shop grade
[17:56:07] <zeeshan> thats how i learned how much pressure to apply with a vernier
[17:56:19] <zeeshan> doesnt take much force to make the verniers move out by 2 thou
[17:56:21] <PetefromTn_> yeah I agree. There is a definite feel to it.
[17:56:39] <zeeshan> ratcheting and friction thimble are cheating :)
[17:56:55] <PetefromTn_> I dunno I like having them..
[17:56:59] <zeeshan> me too
[17:57:02] <humble_sea_bass> repetition repetition repetition
[17:57:09] <zeeshan> some guys perfer no ratcheting or friction thimble
[17:57:14] <archivist> the vernier needs gibs adjusting if 2 thou out
[17:57:14] <zeeshan> just straight up direct thimble
[17:57:17] <zeeshan> crazy old timers :P
[17:57:21] <zeeshan> archivist: no no
[17:57:31] <archivist> ye yes
[17:57:40] <zeeshan> it closes to 0.000 when closed, and 2.000" on the gauge block
[17:57:47] <PetefromTn_> yeah man 2k is a mile..
[17:57:58] <humble_sea_bass> the calluses on my hands are accurate to 0.0002
[17:58:00] <zeeshan> but if you overapply the pressure.. you can read 1.998"
[17:58:01] <archivist> the jaw rotates
[17:58:20] <archivist> adjust gibs, then its better better
[17:58:25] <zeeshan> so youre saying
[17:58:28] <zeeshan> even if i overapply pressure
[17:58:31] <zeeshan> itll read 2.000?

[17:58:52] <archivist> look for that jaw part rotation
[17:59:04] <archivist> feel for gib play
[17:59:19] <PetefromTn_> I have an 8" vernier Caliper I bought when I first started machining because it was metric and standard. helped me learn to read mics.
[17:59:27] <archivist> I have seen about 20 thou on a loose one
[17:59:42] <zeeshan> i do feel play
[17:59:46] <zeeshan> how do you adjust it
[17:59:55] <zeeshan> oh
[18:00:00] <zeeshan> theres two flat head screws on the top
[18:00:01] <PetefromTn_> Oh I also got a brand new bottle of Dykem and some Tap Magic too ;)
[18:00:14] <PetefromTn_> All for $200.00
[18:00:24] <zeeshan> archivist: thank you for teaching me something new!
[18:00:29] <zeeshan> i did not know these were adjustable
[18:00:30] <zeeshan> haha
[18:00:36] <archivist> :)
[18:00:42] <zeeshan> tell me though
[18:00:50] <zeeshan> if i adjust it to have no play, and over apply pressure
[18:00:56] <zeeshan> i should read 2.000 still on the gauge block?
[18:01:21] <archivist> just get them near enough and remember the sources of errors
[18:02:11] <zeeshan> main source of error in all my 25 some labs that i did during undergrad
[18:02:14] <zeeshan> : human error
[18:02:15] <zeeshan> :D

[20:13:00] <gene78> I'll proceed then

[22:41:58] <XXCoder> I think
[22:42:16] <XXCoder> if not can always just buy cheap one
[22:42:26] <humble_sea_bass> a cheap one will do too
[22:42:54] <XXCoder> is there anywhere that can show me what it should look when its pretty well running
[22:44:36] <humble_sea_bass> sure. I have a gecko g540 and I'll snap a picture of the frequency range

[22:44:46] <XXCoder> thanks
[22:45:18] <XXCoder> I guess I should look up motor stats see whats max speed and so on
[22:45:41] <XXCoder> it ran pretty damn fast when I was testing when it was moving to new cut section
[22:46:53] <XXCoder> I gonna get another wireless dongle, one that ubuntu 10.04 supports. my laptop is so old it has floppy disk drive
[22:46:58] <PetefromTn_> Well just got back from my little tool buying trip.
[22:47:00] <XXCoder> last generation to have one
[22:47:41] <PetefromTn_> Managed to get that Fowler Depth mic set 0-6" for a great price. Set looks hardly used at all. Very pleased.
[22:47:54] <XXCoder> another one?
[22:47:58] <PetefromTn_> yeah.
[22:48:11] <XXCoder> nice.
[22:48:42] <PetefromTn_> I have the smaller craftsman model that is 0-3" depth and has the smaller base for tighter areas and this new Fowler with the deeper depth rods and a much wider base to span larger areas.
[22:49:10] <PetefromTn_> So I should be good for measuring any hole depth I care to machine LOL...
[22:49:14] <XXCoder> great found some motor stats on place I bought em from
[22:49:25] <XXCoder> I'll have to adjust settings later
[22:49:34] <XXCoder> Some is in error I think
[22:49:48] <PetefromTn_> On the way there I happened across a cool speed shop that just opened up that specializes in Mazda RX7 turbo cars.
[22:50:24] <PetefromTn_> I dropped in there to drool on their sweet rides and also to HOPEFULLY garner some custom machining work or Tig welding from them. They were actually closed
[22:50:49] <PetefromTn_> but I was able to chat with one of the guys who works there and he asked me to come by when they open during the week and meet the owner.
[22:50:59] <humble_sea_bass> score
[22:51:11] <humble_sea_bass> ask them to let you floor one of the cars too
[22:51:14] <PetefromTn_> Hopefully I can convince them to bring me some custom CNC milling work.
[22:51:26] <PetefromTn_> YEAH man. I don't see that happening.
[22:51:29] <XXCoder> nice :)
[22:51:36] <PetefromTn_> They did have some SWEET rides there tho.
[22:52:09] <PetefromTn_> The owner apparently owns a very clean very stock looking silver RX7 twin turbo that puts like 400HP to the wheels apparently.
[22:52:39] <PetefromTn_> Very tastefully done car with red leather seats and shift knob/ steering wheel cover on black dash and carpeting with silver accents.
[22:53:00] <PetefromTn_> It has some 19" black wheels and low profile performance tires. Just a real nice clean car.
[22:53:25] <PetefromTn_> the guy said it runs low 12's apparently on a street tune with lowish boost numbers.
[22:53:53] <PetefromTn_> Then there was the MONSTER build car in the shop LOL....
[22:54:21] <PetefromTn_> Supposedly pushing like 750 to the wheels and just got it running they are hoping to tune it to 850 or so.
[22:55:05] <PetefromTn_> Always thought those third generation mazdas were sweet looking cars. They look even better with some custom suspension and lowering treatment and custom touches.
[22:55:23] <PetefromTn_> I was kinda drooling all over myself there for a bit hehehe
[22:56:03] <XXCoder> had a bib? :D
[22:56:09] <PetefromTn_> Coulda used one
[22:56:30] <PetefromTn_> they also had a yellow viper in there they were tuning up with a turbo apparently.
[22:57:02] <PetefromTn_> a couple neon turbos and a big Dodge Ram v10 sport truck they were tweaking on.
[22:59:07] <humble_sea_bass> I know I would be judged, but I want a Mazda MX5
[22:59:57] <PetefromTn_> Is that the same as the mazdaspeed?
[23:00:16] <PetefromTn_> I was following one the other day in traffic, neat little car.
[23:00:47] <humble_sea_bass> no the mx5 is just a miata, but they are fun to abuse on a track
[23:01:16] <humble_sea_bass> the speed on the other hand is a great looking hatchback that is actually useful
[23:01:28] <PetefromTn_> Yesterday my wife and I were heading to Knoxvegas to look at those tools and passed a couple guys in what looked like a seriously built Mazda Miata with a custom hood, lowering suspension and when it went by sounded like it had a serious v8 motor in it.
[23:02:17] <PetefromTn_> It was bright yellow and had a nice roll cage looking radiused setup bar in it. Nicely done.

[23:03:24] <PetefromTn_> yup that is what it looked like but it was screaming yellow.
[23:03:52] <PetefromTn_> I know a lot of guys say they are chick cars but I think they are cool as hell and apparently go around a track like nothing else.
[23:03:53] <humble_sea_bass> all said and done it is one of t he cheapest funnest racing configs out there

[23:04:29] <XXCoder> man driving a "chick car" is man enough to not care about what others think
[23:04:35] <PetefromTn_> Here in east Tennessee there is a whole club full of them and they are often seen during the summer flying around town and heading up to the dragon to hit the curves.
[23:04:37] <humble_sea_bass> it is a svelte car, which is kind of where it got the rep
[23:04:46] <humble_sea_bass> also convertible and fun looking
[23:05:04] <humble_sea_bass> you live by the dragon?
[23:05:24] <PetefromTn_> agreed. My co worker used to bust my balls about the fiero....right up until he got a ride in it to lunch one time. Then he was like man THIS is a cool little car!
[23:05:31] <humble_sea_bass> tail of the dragon
[23:05:36] <PetefromTn_> Yeah it is like five or ten miles form my house.
[23:05:44] <PetefromTn_> from
[23:05:58] <humble_sea_bass> I want to do that on a skateboard, see if I die
[23:06:00] <PetefromTn_> yeah tail of the dragon.
[23:06:25] <PetefromTn_> I rode it on my FZR1000 before I sold it a few times.
[23:07:02] <PetefromTn_> The last time I did I went with a guy who was riding a Honda RC51
[23:07:38] <humble_sea_bass> you know, those guys sound insane if they go down the tail any faster thanposted
[23:07:50] <PetefromTn_> I made the mistake of thinking I could hang with him on my big Fizzer that weighs like almost 500 lbs and is much longer compared to his around 350 lbs and much more nimble chassis.
[23:08:19] <PetefromTn_> ALMOST went under a fullsize van right before I ran off the road into the brush.
[23:08:21] <humble_sea_bass> you were riding a sofa
[23:08:36] <PetefromTn_> Luckily only damaged the upper fairing a bit. rest of bike was fine.
[23:08:46] <PetefromTn_> Yeah a VERY VERY FAST sofa...
[23:09:06] <humble_sea_bass> is the tail as busy as it looks on most videos?
[23:09:07] <PetefromTn_> bike had like 130 HP stock and mine was not stock anymore...
[23:09:17] <humble_sea_bass> so many cyclers
[23:09:18] <PetefromTn_> during the height of the summer yeah it is a zoo..
[23:09:27] <XXCoder> I remember jay leno showing off turoine bike. jeez is it fast. and apparently so loud
[23:09:27] <PetefromTn_> The locals make jokes about it
[23:10:07] <PetefromTn_> They say when the squids are screaming around up there you can count the times LifeFlight heads up there to scrape one of them out of the trees each day.
[23:10:24] <PetefromTn_> Sad but true....
[23:10:43] <PetefromTn_> It is a nice road on the TN side and 118 turns in 11 miles makes for a fun ride.
[23:11:06] <humble_sea_bass> XXCoder: thisd is what we are talking about
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rGbln3J4Sg
[23:11:10] <PetefromTn_> But there are LOTS of places where if you go off you are going down a steep cliff into trees for a good ways down.
[23:11:32] <PetefromTn_> Yup that is it..
[23:11:46] <PetefromTn_> Honestly for me the road is really TOO twisty.
[23:12:10] <PetefromTn_> You are always just getting sorted out from the last corner when the next one is in your face already.
[23:12:11] <XXCoder> nice vantage point of guys butt while riding :p
[23:12:42] <humble_sea_bass> that's why I want to do it on a downhill board because it would be a lot more fun i feel than nearly dyuing if I son't make a hairpin
[23:13:23] <XXCoder> well one things for sure
[23:13:27] <XXCoder> I wont ride one lol
[23:13:28] <humble_sea_bass> this is what I'd like to do there
http://vimeo.com/1654340
[23:15:57] <PetefromTn_> It is actually a public road and it is not unusual to run across a minivan or truck coming the other way and these guys ride it like it is a closed racing course.
[23:16:15] <XXCoder> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twWkQTjzcoY
[23:17:06] <PetefromTn_> It was a real fun ride in the Fiero's when we went up there with the local Fiero Club.
[23:17:17] <PetefromTn_> A Miata would also be tons of fun up there.
[23:17:47] <PetefromTn_> Even on the sportbikes we seldom went above 65MPH on that road. It is so twisty the video does not really do it justice.
[23:18:07] <XXCoder> heh 65 mph way too fast for me for motorcycle
[23:20:12] <PetefromTn_> On the Dragon it is..

[23:45:25] <zeeshan> notice the dimples
[23:45:36] <zeeshan> you can adjust the vise quickly =D
[23:46:03] <PetefromTn_> Hmm
[23:46:09] <PetefromTn_> dunno what I am gonna get.
[23:46:12] <_methods> haha i thought you were waiting a month to come back zeeshan
[23:46:20] <zeeshan> _methods: i gave in
[23:46:23] <_methods> heheh
[23:46:24] <zeeshan> and it looks like the trolls are gone

[23:46:34] <_methods> or jymm
[23:46:38] <_methods> or whoever it was
[23:46:42] <_methods> that finally ended it
[23:46:55] <zeeshan> :)
[23:47:17] <PetefromTn_> I was under the impression that the vise I have here had a cast in fixed jaw but upon further inspection it has a removable fixed jaw so I MAY be able to have the base ground flat which is my problem.
[23:48:07] <PetefromTn_> Gonna take it in to work and see if we can grind it flat again on the surface grinders.
[23:48:36] <PetefromTn_> But right now I am looking at getting a brand new vise and CONSIDERING anteing up for a Kurt
[23:48:52] <zeeshan> what kinda vise is it
[23:48:54] <_methods> man the kurts are nice
[23:48:57] <PetefromTn_> Tired of having issues with cheap stuff here. The new tools I bought are all quality.
[23:49:00] <zeeshan> fak the kurts
[23:49:14] <_methods> if you ever have an issue with the screw they will send you a new one
[23:49:19] <_methods> before you send the dead one
[23:49:30] <PetefromTn_> The mill is accurate and quality so it just need an accurate vise now.
[23:49:30] <zeeshan> kurt is too much $ for my blood
[23:49:31] <_methods> no questions asked
[23:49:48] <zeeshan> it doesnt take much effort to fix a chinese vise
[23:49:49] <PetefromTn_> yeah I agree they are pricey but they are made right and USA made.
[23:49:49] <_methods> i can't afford it at my house
[23:50:01] <_methods> their support is top notch
[23:50:02] <zeeshan> fak chinese vises too
[23:50:04] <_methods> them and chick
[23:50:04] <zeeshan> taiwanese ftw !
[23:50:10] <PetefromTn_> We have them on every VMC at work and a few sitting around for spares.

[23:50:32] <zeeshan> school has a bunch of kurts with holes in em from people drilling out vises
[23:50:39] <zeeshan> how they drill out a hardened vise is beyond my understanding
[23:50:40] <PetefromTn_> They are nice and flat and square and accurate.
[23:50:44] <zeeshan> prolly carbide end mill

[23:53:08] <zeeshan> im suprised you dont have a modular table for your cnc
[23:53:12] <zeeshan> instead of a vise
[23:53:14] <PetefromTn_> Glacern is apparently a CHinese vise ground here in USA or somethng like that.
[23:53:26] <_methods> yeah i've gotten a few glacerns
[23:53:30] <_methods> they are decent
[23:53:33] <zeeshan> give me one
[23:53:34] <_methods> like i said not a kurt
[23:53:44] <zeeshan> im pretty sure the one i have on the mill is a chinese vise
[23:53:47] <zeeshan> i dont see any markings on it
[23:53:51] <PetefromTn_> honestly man when you see what they do with a simple kurt vise at work all damn day long it is hard to argue with it.
[23:53:52] <zeeshan> but i did check it with a tenths indicator
[23:54:15] <zeeshan> tenths indicator moves 0.0002 total
[23:54:16] <PetefromTn_> Mine is not flat
[23:54:19] <zeeshan> i dunno if that normal or not
[23:54:27] <PetefromTn_> REALLY??
[23:54:33] <_methods> honestly i don't care about that because i always cut jaws
[23:54:41] <zeeshan> this is the faces pete
[23:54:42] <PetefromTn_> even the kurts are +-.0005
[23:54:47] <zeeshan> i havent checked the bottom flat
[23:55:25] <zeeshan> but seriously
[23:55:34] <zeeshan> those modular vises are so much easier to fix
[23:55:43] <zeeshan> and clean
[23:56:04] <PetefromTn_> faces are supposed to be LESS accurate not more. The base flatness is usually the most important thing
