[01:56:43] <CaptHindsight> zmi: does the installer complete?
[01:57:52] <zmi> I have donwload imagen iso and burn on dvd
[01:58:55] <CaptHindsight> http://www.linuxcnc.org/iso/ubuntu-10.04-linuxcnc3-i386.iso this one?
[01:59:12] <zmi> yes the same
[01:59:30] <CaptHindsight> can you run the dvd?
[01:59:42] <CaptHindsight> can you boot from the dvd?
[01:59:56] <witnit> Can someone set me up with an example halfile using the 7i33?
[02:00:17] <zmi> four time
[02:00:38] <zmi> dvd not working
[02:00:39] <CaptHindsight> four times, what exactly?
[02:01:05] <CaptHindsight> so it doesn't boot from the dvd?

[02:02:07] <witnit> boot?
[02:02:25] <zmi> when I reboot the disk is not working
[02:02:29] <witnit> Certainly you have tried to boot this on more than one computer?

[02:02:53] <witnit> And of course your bios setting are adjusted to boot to cdrom first?
[02:02:57] <zmi> yes the dvd no working
[02:03:10] <zmi> yes
[02:03:16] <CaptHindsight> zmi: does the dvd work on a different computer?
[02:03:34] <CaptHindsight> I just installed it twice today on 2 different computers
[02:03:38] <witnit> does it try to boot or does it just skip to the hard drive immediatly
[02:03:46] <zmi> CaptHindsight yes but not working
[02:04:25] <CaptHindsight> ^^ please answer the last question
[02:05:02] <zmi> in other computer not working
[02:05:32] <CaptHindsight> sounds like a bad burner
[02:05:48] <witnit> what do you mean "not working" does it show any signs of the boot menu for the dvd? or does it boot directly to hdd
[02:05:52] <zmi> but burn in slow spped
[02:05:55] <zmi> speed
[02:06:32] <zmi> I was in BIOS put dvd
[02:06:53] <witnit> ok....
[02:07:14] <witnit> but when the computer starts up does the cd drive activate and give a menu or does it boot directly to the hdd?
[02:07:26] <zmi> capthindsight ye sorry i have try several time today and yesterday
[02:07:45] <CaptHindsight> heh, why won't you answer his question?
[02:08:05] <zmi> sorry i cant speak much english
[02:08:18] <zmi> i can spanish well
[02:08:42] <zmi> its a little difficult
[02:08:45] <witnit> ok
[02:09:07] <CaptHindsight> cuando se inicia el equipo no activar la unidad de cd y darle un menú o se arranca directamente en el HDD?
[02:09:43] <zmi> no activa, yo cambio la configuracion en BIOS
[02:09:52] -!- moorbo [moorbo!~moorbo@d75-156-164-233.abhsia.telus.net] has joined #linuxcnc
[02:10:14] <CaptHindsight> "not active, change the settings in BIOS"
[02:10:47] <witnit> right hes saying he changed the setting but it still skips the drive
[02:10:59] <witnit> do other boot cds work?
[02:11:09] <zmi> yo cambie en BIOS, pero dice, FAILED
[02:11:29] <zmi> yes with other cd working well
[02:11:49] <witnit> still sounds like a bad burn to me
[02:12:03] <XXCoder> or maybe just forgot to finalize cd
[02:12:03] <zmi> i have burn 4 times
[02:12:20] <witnit> files appear on disk?
[02:12:24] <CaptHindsight> if the image passes the checksum then it's a bad burner
[02:12:25] <zmi> my computer has Linux Mint Debian
[02:12:51] <witnit> k3b burning
[02:12:58] <CaptHindsight> have you tried burning with verify on?
[02:13:27] <zmi> i use brasero for burn
[02:13:43] <witnit> shouldnt relaly matter
[02:13:56] <witnit> really*
[02:14:13] <CaptHindsight> does it verify after copying/burning?
[02:14:16] <zmi> i dont know what to do i have a week in this
[02:14:23] <witnit> Boot to USB?
[02:14:33] <zmi> just dvd and cd
[02:15:16] <witnit> I never have problem
[02:15:18] <zmi> yes i have verify after burn all files is there
[02:15:18] <witnit> I dont know.
[02:15:35] <witnit> I think he is doing things correct
[02:15:37] <zmi> what do you recommend me
[02:15:56] <witnit> you can install RT operating system then install linuxcnc from scratch
[02:16:18] <CaptHindsight> nah install 12.04 then the kernel then the packages
[02:16:25] <zmi> sorry i dont know about that
[02:16:32] <CaptHindsight> did that 6-7 times in the past 2 days
[02:16:59] <CaptHindsight> http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?LinuxCNC_On_Ubuntu_Precise
[02:17:01] <witnit> you could ssh and have him goin in 12 minuts :P
[02:17:53] <CaptHindsight> installed 10.04, upgraded to 12.04, installed 12.04 and 14.03 and Linux debian cinnamin
[02:18:04] <CaptHindsight> 14.04
[02:18:31] <zmi> ok let me a minute please
[02:18:35] <witnit> you like cinni?
[02:18:47] <CaptHindsight> just played for a few minutes
[02:19:16] <CaptHindsight> anythuing is better that unity or stock gnome 3
[02:19:18] <witnit> Im looking forward to learning how to use the akonadi mysql business
[02:19:21] <zmi> really Im new with linux just two mouth
[02:19:48] <witnit> zmi :) be patient
[02:19:56] <CaptHindsight> playing with camunits today
[02:20:07] <CaptHindsight> not sure if it's worth it
[02:20:24] <CaptHindsight> hasn't been updated since 2010-11
[02:20:46] <Noxz> any suggestions for a router that can mill a Nickel Alloy? I am sure I can get away with aluminum for now , but curious
[02:21:05] <CaptHindsight> just a framework for OpenGL, GLib, libjpeg, opencv etc

[02:21:51] <zmi> http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?LinuxCNC_On_Ubuntu_Precise ----------------- very difficult to me to do that, is there other way?
[02:22:16] <XXCoder> if it works why push os to modern version?
[02:24:52] <witnit> dvd-r or cd-r?
[02:25:15] <zmi> dvd -r and cd -r
[02:25:18] <CaptHindsight> XXCoder: ?
[02:25:40] <XXCoder> I just was wondering why keep os updated if its just to run some cnc macine
[02:25:45] <CaptHindsight> why the 12.04 or 14.04?
[02:26:00] <XXCoder> yeah
[02:26:34] <CaptHindsight> ahh I'm developing new apps that work with Linuxcnc and also new hardware
[02:26:46] <CaptHindsight> new hardware needs newer kernels
[02:26:57] <XXCoder> hmm makes sense.
[02:27:08] <CaptHindsight> newer kernels don't always work on older distros
[02:27:17] <CaptHindsight> also for the long term support
[02:27:43] <zmi> mint is old version for linuxcnc?
[02:27:46] <XXCoder> I was wondering if it was possible to seperate linuxcnc from ubuntu
[02:27:57] <witnit> zmi If you have already installed Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx", you can install LinuxCNC without reinstalling your whole system. Simply download and run the installation script:
http://linuxcnc.org/install-scripts/lucid/linuxcnc-install.sh
[02:27:59] <XXCoder> make it into package
[02:28:14] -!- mablae__ has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[02:28:25] <CaptHindsight> the old 10.04 install has the old 2,6 kernel that won't work with the new GPU drivers in the E350M1
[02:28:39] <CaptHindsight> XXCoder: it already is
[02:28:47] <XXCoder> oh
[02:30:03] -!- mhaberler has quit [Quit: mhaberler]
[02:30:14] <CaptHindsight> you can just install the repos and then install the packages
[02:30:15] <zmi> I dont have ubuntu in my computer
[02:30:43] <CaptHindsight> XXCoder: for example
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?LinuxCNC_On_Ubuntu_Precise
[02:31:10] <XXCoder> interesting. ok
[02:31:32] <CaptHindsight> we also use it with gentoo
[02:31:39] <XXCoder> oh talking about cnc - I saw huge cargo box of scrap wood at work, plan to ask if I could grab some :D
[02:31:48] <zmi> capthindsight i must install ubuntu firts? is better?
[02:31:49] <XXCoder> lots of wood to run tests and build cnc with
[02:34:38] <CaptHindsight> zmi: try to download and burn the Ubuntu dvd, then boot from that, see if you get that far
[02:35:06] <CaptHindsight> the manual install is pretty easy
[02:35:27] <zmi> ok
[02:35:29] <CaptHindsight> the updates take the longest, depending on your connection speed
[02:35:37] Meduza89 is now known as Meduza
[02:36:41] <CaptHindsight> I'm actually installing it right now in virtualbox
[02:36:57] <XXCoder> using virtual cnc with it? ;)
[02:37:34] <CaptHindsight> just for reference and testing machine vision before I go to a live machine
[02:38:01] <CaptHindsight> latency jitter in virtualbox is like 3459863489950^77
[02:38:50] <humble_sea_bass> so you're saying it is a "buy"
[02:41:30] <zmi> must I install virtualbox?
[02:41:46] <CaptHindsight> zmi: no, just follow the guide

[02:53:58] <CaptHindsight> http://www.boltdepot.com/fastener-information/Machine-Screws/Machine-Screw-Diameter.aspx?nv=res
[02:54:08] <jdh> change the name to a nema86.36 then
[02:54:16] <CaptHindsight> 5.7mm = 0.224 in
[02:54:24] <CaptHindsight> heh
[02:54:31] <zeeshan> hm

[02:55:28] <CaptHindsight> loose
[02:55:39] <zeeshan> loctite!
[02:55:51] <zeeshan> this works
[02:55:53] <jdh> I use #10 for through bolts on mine. Or tap the hole for 1/4-20 if bolting to it.
[02:55:55] <zeeshan> cause i dont havbe a m5x.8mm tap
[02:56:03] <zeeshan> broke it a while back
[02:56:06] <zeeshan> only got m5x.9
[02:56:12] <zeeshan> which will be a p[ain in the ass to find bolts for

[03:37:41] <XXCoder> ok
[03:45:10] <somenewguy_shp> 1 mark is grade rubber, 3 lines is grade 5, 6 is grade 8 which is strongest common grade
[03:45:19] <somenewguy_shp> actually im not sure if the lowest grade is 1 mark or 0

[03:45:41] <XXCoder> those are crappy
[03:45:43] <somenewguy_shp> metric 10.8 is comparable (slightly stronger) than grade 8 for reference
[03:46:06] <somenewguy_shp> and yeah the grades are just defined properties, so strength and hardness or some such
[03:46:14] <somenewguy_shp> higher is stronger in both systems
[03:46:30] <somenewguy_shp> ughhhhh I hate stainless for the record. this is the LAST time I offer to machine something up for my dad
[03:46:35] <somenewguy_shp> its always SS with him
[03:46:49] <XXCoder> that could sound really bad out of context
[03:46:52] <somenewguy_shp> hes paying for hte next damn endmill. I thought I finally had it w/ my lttle altin coated bit
[03:47:20] <somenewguy_shp> heh
[03:47:28] <Snuggy> LOL @ dad comment...Dad's jobs somehow always wind up being a major pain
[03:47:41] <Snuggy> You're not the only one
[03:48:06] <somenewguy_shp> doens't help that he REFUSES to spec what he wants on paper, its verbally and without confirming what I jot down
[03:48:14] <somenewguy_shp> gives him an out when what he asked for doesn't match what he wanted
[03:48:21] <somenewguy_shp> he thinks its subtle...
[03:48:25] <XXCoder> well
[03:48:34] <XXCoder> in leasts your dad is alive lol
[03:48:47] <XXCoder> my dad died bit over decade ago. by old age
[03:48:51] <Snuggy> There's no 'fudge factor' in CNC...
[03:49:16] <XXCoder> theres always fudge factor till your precision is based on atoms.,
[03:49:38] <somenewguy_shp> you still owe him projects tho? cause I think that is where we are headed here
[03:49:59] <somenewguy_shp> he asked me today if I had a tool I could use to "cut the brackets you made me a little bigger"
[03:50:25] <Snuggy> Yeah...right next to the 'board stretcher'
[03:50:35] <somenewguy_shp> note that he used to be an engineer, and prior to that ran his own contracting company where he did most of the labor, so he's not an idiot
[03:50:43] <somenewguy_shp> but when specing out jobs, mand does he try hard to sound like one
[03:50:59] -!- tchaddad has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[03:51:02] <somenewguy_shp> "so do you mean weld it up and trim it back to size? cause that would take hours" "yeah can you do that?"
[03:51:07] <Snuggy> What kind of mill are you running? I've got a BOSS 5
[03:51:19] <XXCoder> somenew, research shows that most often accessed words in brain tend to be "erased"
[03:51:32] <somenewguy_shp> meanwhile this is knocking parts off the table for my car which has been in pieces for a few weeks now...
[03:51:35] <XXCoder> I'm starting to get there, some common words I sometimes cant recall for a minute
[03:51:55] <somenewguy_shp> heh, its an unfortunate symptom of not getting killed off early
[03:52:06] <XXCoder> yeah I blame lack of tigers
[03:52:08] <somenewguy_shp> you just live long enough to embaress yourself, its murphys law of longevity
[03:52:12] <XXCoder> and lion
[03:52:32] <somenewguy_shp> I'm running a tiny taig Snuggy
[03:53:27] <Snuggy> I've got "MachDonalds" running it now (I hate it)...so I'm getting into the Linux stuff now
[03:54:17] <somenewguy_shp> linux saved my mill, the mach and windows combination was inifinite headache, and I bought my mill w/ a working and configured computer included in the deal
[03:54:22] <Snuggy> I've also got a Syil C6 CNC Lathe I want to setup under LCNC - again - hate Mach...
[03:54:38] <somenewguy_shp> well its worth every second then

[03:55:30] <Snuggy> I'm waiting on a Mesa plug-n-go 5i25/7i76 to come so I can wire it up. Looks like Thurs this week...
[03:55:56] <Snuggy> I'll do the lathe first. Then the mill
[03:57:27] <somenewguy_shp> cool, im torn on which to get first when i have the space, a full size mill or a lathe
[03:57:38] <somenewguy_shp> and then i get to splurge on real controls etc
[03:58:25] <XXCoder> first, buy me a cnc
[03:58:29] <XXCoder> then mill
[03:58:46] <Snuggy> Yeah...tough call. The mill is probably more useful for day to day, although a CNC router is pretty versatile too
[03:59:19] <Snuggy> You can machine non-ferrous on any decent CNC router
[03:59:47] <somenewguy_shp> yeah, and I feel like I could get a router to pay for itself a bit faster (custom signage etc)
[03:59:48] <Snuggy> You aren't going to do cylinder heads with it...but you can certainly do lots of other useful things
[04:00:14] <somenewguy_shp> I am onyl a hobbiest, but I love real tools, and if I can make it payfor itself I always get the nicer toys
[04:00:29] <XXCoder> new, thats what I hope lol
[04:00:32] <Snuggy> Yeah, it's probably the fastest way to get a ROI with the least amount of experience or investment
[04:00:40] <XXCoder> make small products till I reach around ~$2000
[04:00:42] <XXCoder> then new cnc
[04:00:48] <XXCoder> 8020 one.
[04:00:54] <somenewguy_shp> huh?
[04:01:07] <XXCoder> a new cnc that uses 8020 beams
[04:01:12] <XXCoder> much stronger
[04:02:02] <Snuggy> Try to find a CNC router made out of steel - like an older ShopBot or even a Mechmate (Shopbot copy from 1998 style)
[04:02:28] <XXCoder> nah I want challenge of building it
[04:02:31] <zeeshan> cncs are a poor investment
[04:02:31] <zeeshan> lol
[04:02:33] <Snuggy> The AL extrusions aren't all that strong compared to steel...they deflect
[04:02:37] <XXCoder> zeeshan: of course.
[04:02:41] <zeeshan> doing machine work for a living really sux
[04:02:46] <zeeshan> :P
[04:03:05] <zeeshan> hobby, side business
[04:03:08] <zeeshan> i think its pretty decent
[04:03:09] <XXCoder> zee I just want to have fun and make side money once a while
[04:03:21] <XXCoder> same with my current side business lol
[04:03:22] <somenewguy_shp> I just need my tools to not cost me money
[04:03:32] <XXCoder> it just paid for half of rail system I recently bought
[04:03:34] <Snuggy> So does working for someone else...I'd take machining in my own shop over that
[04:03:35] <zeeshan> i was making these production parts for rx7s
[04:03:39] <zeeshan> about 1000 of em
[04:03:49] <zeeshan> welded for 16 hours straight everyday for 2 weeks
[04:03:53] <zeeshan> hated my life
[04:03:55] <zeeshan> :D
[04:04:00] <somenewguy_shp> my TIG still has yet to earn its price back, but my tubing bender paid for itself it two months worth of weekends
[04:04:04] <XXCoder> zee better that than my current training job. I seal airplane clamps.
[04:04:11] <zeeshan> another 2 weeks of lathe machining and threading
[04:04:16] <XXCoder> nothing but clamps or parts for it. all da,.
[04:04:30] <zeeshan> my tig paid for itself within 2 months of owning it
[04:04:31] <zeeshan> :P
[04:04:36] <XXCoder> nice
[04:04:46] <zeeshan> 10 years ago!
[04:04:50] <XXCoder> I doubt my cnc roi would be that high
[04:04:57] <zeeshan> yea its not
[04:04:59] <somenewguy_shp> although its hard to blame the tig, could have more to do w/ the fact I hardly know which end of the torch to hold lol
[04:05:05] <zeeshan> the reality is, people dont wanna pay money..
[04:05:13] <somenewguy_shp> ^fact
[04:05:17] <zeeshan> and the big boys go to the big boys
[04:05:28] <zeeshan> the only real way i suggest to make moeny is
[04:05:31] <somenewguy_shp> esp the antique VW crowd are a buch of cheap bastids (my crouw)
[04:05:33] <somenewguy_shp> crowd
[04:05:36] <zeeshan> get into a circle of people with the same thing
[04:05:37] <XXCoder> yay my oh shit button and limit switches and cable just shipped
[04:05:47] <zeeshan> like some people build mini jet turbine parts, or quad copter parts
[04:05:49] <zeeshan> or camera mounts
[04:05:54] <zeeshan> but they're on the same forums as those people
[04:05:59] <zeeshan> i usually do car parts
[04:06:01] <Snuggy> Nah...I've done work for Disney, major colleges, the US Govt...I'm just a one man shop - but I am excellent at what I do.
[04:06:10] <Snuggy> If you want something bad enough you go get it
[04:06:27] <WalterN> nitch market :3
[04:07:01] <Snuggy> You can't defeat yourself with this 'big to big' thing...You really don't want to deal with big companies anyway
[04:07:09] <zeeshan> why not
[04:07:12] <Snuggy> The bigger the company - the longer they take to pay
[04:07:41] <Snuggy> After you get enough feathers in your cap, then part is parts.
[04:07:50] <WalterN> hubbel takes 3 months to pay
[04:07:52] <zeeshan> somenewguy_shp: lol
[04:08:01] <WalterN> I know this, because they visited my shop
[04:08:01] <zeeshan> vw + honda + nissan 240sx
[04:08:03] <zeeshan> stay away!
[04:08:05] <zeeshan> they're cheap bastards
[04:08:08] <Snuggy> It no longer is impressive to do work for 'fortune 500' because you work like a slave and they take forever to pay
[04:08:17] <zeeshan> Snuggy: i'd have to disagree
[04:08:22] <zeeshan> i've worked at eaton
[04:08:22] <WalterN> depends...
[04:08:27] <zeeshan> and we made millions
[04:08:31] <zeeshan> during the summer i was there
[04:09:04] <Snuggy> Who is 'we'? You were thrilled to get $2000 a few posts ago....
[04:09:06] <Snuggy> :)
[04:09:16] <zeeshan> 2000?
[04:09:40] <Snuggy> I mean YOU doing the work and YOU getting ALL the pay
[04:09:41] <zeeshan> we, the company
[04:09:52] <zeeshan> and i was only a co-op student tehre
[04:10:02] <zeeshan> made 40k in 4 months
[04:10:10] <zeeshan> TAX FREE!
[04:10:23] <zeeshan> (tuition rebates for the win!)
[04:10:27] <Snuggy> meh...
[04:11:05] <Snuggy> That's stealing....you didn't really MAKE that money. That is called stealing...and abusing the system
[04:11:13] <zeeshan> thats not stealing.
[04:11:16] -!- anth0ny_ has quit [Quit: anth0ny_]
[04:11:25] <zeeshan> i dont think you understand how tuition rebates work
[04:11:33] <zeeshan> if i pay 50,000 in tuition
[04:11:37] <zeeshan> i get 50,000 in tax credits
[04:11:53] <zeeshan> and if i make 40k during the summer, i can use my tax credits to remove all my taxes
[04:12:03] <zeeshan> but thats besides the point
[04:12:11] <zeeshan> i rather work for a big company and have a secure job
[04:12:18] <zeeshan> than work for myself as a primary source of income
[04:12:32] <Snuggy> There is no such thing as 'secure' anything, brother.
[04:12:40] <XXCoder> everyone is replacabke
[04:12:42] <Snuggy> Not anymore
[04:12:46] <zeeshan> a monthly pay cheque
[04:12:47] <WalterN> zeeshan: owning your own machine shop is so much more fun
[04:12:53] <zeeshan> is a hell of a lot better than going out looking for work
[04:12:58] <WalterN> and more up and down in income
[04:13:01] <WalterN> but still more fun
[04:13:30] <Snuggy> I don't go anywhere 'looking for work' - I have a reputation for quality & my customers get in line for me to machine things for them
[04:13:47] <Snuggy> I never advertise - it is all word of mouth & repeat customers
[04:13:48] <zeeshan> you're prolly not a home shop machinist
[04:13:52] <zeeshan> and have a real business
[04:13:54] <XXCoder> doubt I will get there at all lol
[04:14:01] <zeeshan> that's why.
[04:14:01] <Snuggy> My business is at home
[04:14:07] <zeeshan> okay, then i dont believe you
[04:14:07] <zeeshan> lol
[04:14:12] <XXCoder> large shop at home eh
[04:14:23] <Snuggy> Well you're young yet...
[04:14:24] <XXCoder> or is your lathe over sink
[04:14:28] <zeeshan> disney goes to a home shop
[04:14:29] <zeeshan> lol
[04:14:42] <WalterN> zeeshan: heh, yeah, I suppose thats true... I have a 30hp C-axes lathe, another smaller lathe, and a haas VF1
[04:15:00] <WalterN> looking at getting another identical C-axes lathe
[04:15:16] <zeeshan> most of the companies that i've worked for
[04:15:17] <Snuggy> My mill is only 2hp - I have 3 CNC routers
[04:15:20] <zeeshan> when we outsourcd stuff
[04:15:32] <zeeshan> the company we'd go to was liable for the work they did
[04:15:32] <XXCoder> I have 0.3 cnc router
[04:15:35] <WalterN> the VF1 is 8hp I think
[04:15:35] <Snuggy> I don't really do 'production milling' on the 2hp
[04:15:36] <zeeshan> and had to have insurance
[04:15:52] <zeeshan> for example wiring harnesses
[04:15:55] <WalterN> from 1990, however all the modern VF1's have a 30hp spindle
[04:16:14] <Snuggy> Wouldn't mind having a HAAS - sweet machine
[04:16:44] <WalterN> the one I have is complete junk
[04:16:52] <WalterN> but it pushed out a lot of money
[04:17:04] <Snuggy> What's it's downfall?

[04:17:56] <XXCoder> it hurts everywhere when touched, its really just hurt finger
[04:19:13] <WalterN> teeth missing in some of the gearing, recently the spindle driver quit working... took it apart and put it back together and it works all of a sudden, the carousel is completely wore out..
[04:19:27] <zeeshan> haas made in china special 1
[04:19:34] <topcyde> Snuggy: Haas has no bearings and no torque. so they stall out AND burn up their bearings. that and finding a service tech that can actually troubleshoot and not just swap parts is impossible.
[04:19:34] <WalterN> I guess the ballscrews and linear bearings are still good
[04:20:12] <WalterN> spindle motor was recently meged, and its good
[04:20:31] <WalterN> hi/low gear sometimes likes to not work

[04:21:53] <Snuggy> It is 8 FEET in diameter hanging in the State Dept bldg in NY
[04:22:03] <WalterN> what needs to happen is the encoder knob needs to come off, and replace the rest of the machine
[04:22:04] <XXCoder> nice. big cnc or?
[04:22:24] <Snuggy> Yes...but machined in multiple pieces and assembled
[04:22:33] <zeeshan> looks nice
[04:22:39] <WalterN> XXCoder: he cheated and used a metal SLS type rapid prototyping machine :P
[04:22:40] <Snuggy> Thanks

[04:23:29] <Snuggy> it is foam + metal coating!

[04:26:25] <Snuggy> I've got a plug-n-go coming later this week
[04:26:45] <WalterN> maybe in a couple years I can afford to hire somebody and then I can work on that stuff more
[04:26:45] <Snuggy> Yeah...me too - but I gotta have some goodies to look forward to!

[04:28:44] <XXCoder> well
[04:28:54] <WalterN> depends
[04:28:55] <XXCoder> you could hire a "push button" worker for cnc machines
[04:29:02] <Snuggy> I sure don't miss being an employee...at all. Ever.
[04:29:04] <zeeshan> those still cost $$ :P
[04:29:26] <zeeshan> i've worked enough floor work
[04:29:31] <Snuggy> Yes. That's all this CNC mumbo jumbo is anyway. Just pushing a button :D
[04:29:33] <zeeshan> to hate working on machines!
[04:29:37] <zeeshan> for a living
[04:29:57] <WalterN> thats all I'm doing at the moment
[04:30:03] <WalterN> pressing the go button
[04:30:24] <zeeshan> at gates
[04:30:28] <WalterN> making a bunch of high current electrical connectors for a certain class of land based oil rigs
[04:30:34] <zeeshan> there was 1 machine operator for every 3 cnc machines
[04:30:35] <Snuggy> There's no thought that goes into programming. Just push the button. Money comes out like an ATM
[04:30:38] <zeeshan> (production line)
[04:30:58] <zeeshan> and every 15 minutes you had to do a SPC check
[04:31:06] <XXCoder> yeah from what I see, programming is tough side.
[04:31:08] <zeeshan> for like 15 different dimensions per paart
[04:31:11] <WalterN> http://rigpower.com/ I make basically all the copper stuff in there
[04:31:14] <Snuggy> Production/high volume parts = borning
[04:31:18] <Snuggy> boring
[04:31:24] <XXCoder> making parts afterwards is easy. place, calbrate then go button
[04:31:24] <zeeshan> yea its erxtremely boring
[04:31:27] <zeeshan> i was training those guys
[04:31:33] <zeeshan> and fixing machine breakdowns
[04:31:37] <zeeshan> hated it
[04:31:53] <Snuggy> Custom, one-offs etc is where the money is - and you don't get burnt or bored - as easily
[04:31:53] <zeeshan> i dunno how some people do that stuff for their whole life
[04:32:07] <zeeshan> thats when i decided to go back to school :P
[04:32:15] <XXCoder> zee many jobs I had was that boring
[04:32:34] <XXCoder> the abosite worse was sitting and connecting 2 wires each tv
[04:32:40] <zeeshan> haha
[04:32:45] <zeeshan> dude, that'll make you go crazy
[04:32:46] <XXCoder> it was the one time I ever really hallucated
[04:32:47] <Snuggy> Been there...have a biology & computer science degree...bought a CNC...then 2 more - that's what makes the $$$ and I set the schedule
[04:32:48] <zeeshan> i know it would make me.
[04:32:50] <XXCoder> fuck that shit
[04:32:51] <WalterN> in the end its still making stuff for somebody else... I'd rather make my own products :P

[04:34:55] <zeeshan> #1 job: designing factories & seeing it go through, #2 job: optimizing aerospace components -- i wanna do heavy heavy heavy mathematical models, #3: consulting
[04:35:10] <Snuggy> You gotta find something your heart is into - If you pick something for the money - you're sunk. It'll never work.
[04:35:17] <XXCoder> first job? damn. my first job was mcdonalds. so are my second and third
[04:35:25] <zeeshan> nooo
[04:35:28] <zeeshan> those are what i want
[04:35:35] <WalterN> heh
[04:35:36] <zeeshan> my first job was a grocery store
[04:35:36] <zeeshan> haha
[04:35:39] <zeeshan> that was a long ass time ago
[04:35:48] <WalterN> mine was a diesel mechanic shop
[04:35:56] <XXCoder> Snuggy: well cant be only thing. you do need money. balance is where you want. enough interest to make job decent plus living wage
[04:35:58] <zeeshan> my first real career job was designer for plastic injection mold components
[04:36:00] <zeeshan> i loved that job
[04:36:03] <zeeshan> but not enough money
[04:36:09] <XXCoder> lol my first job was in I guess 1993
[04:36:13] <zeeshan> second was gates (cnc machines robots , training etc)_
[04:36:19] <Snuggy> LOL! Grocery store at night...that's when the chicken feet get sold
[04:36:19] <zeeshan> ^this job wanted me to kill myself
[04:36:41] <zeeshan> i've worked at eaton for every summer pretty much through university
[04:36:55] <zeeshan> now im doing r&d for mcmaster
[04:37:09] <XXCoder> my current job is to seal clamps lol
[04:37:21] <zeeshan> i think i need 70% theoretical work, 30% physical work
[04:37:25] <Snuggy> Well yes, you still need to make the ducks - but IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE A SLAVE - pick something you are at least excited about - that's all...we are all pretty much slaves.
[04:37:28] <somenewguy_shp> zeeshan, guess I'm keeping you in buisness yeah
[04:37:29] <XXCoder> lots fun :P in least it varies enough to keep my brain awake. unlike that nightmare of a tv job
[04:37:41] <XXCoder> indeed snug
[04:38:08] <zeeshan> Snuggy: i think thats not a great way to look at it
[04:38:13] <zeeshan> if you think working for a company is being a slave
[04:38:16] <zeeshan> you're working at the wrong place
[04:38:26] <somenewguy_shp> ok I'm geting out of the shop, I just pulled the threads out of the block where my oil pump mounts, and we are not gonna talk about how many weeks went into prepping that pump.....

[04:40:30] <somenewguy_shp> snuggy, lucky, i'm on my second westy
[04:40:36] <somenewguy_shp> this ones a 73, last one was a 77
[04:40:50] <Snuggy> I still wouldn't mind having one of those!
[04:41:13] <somenewguy_shp> I recommend two
[04:41:20] <zeeshan> somenewguy_shp: when i stripped a exhaust manifold mounting thread before
[04:41:27] <somenewguy_shp> a nice one for camping, a BAMF one for woods bashing
[04:41:30] <zeeshan> it was some real art work to fix that shit
[04:41:31] <zeeshan> haha
[04:41:36] <Snuggy> Mine's still got the 1600 in it...but I've got a Corvair 110 w/Powerglide (low miles & running) + brackets

[04:41:56] <zeeshan> i try to use studs now on anything aluminum thats threaded
[04:41:59] <somenewguy_shp> nice, gonna flip the tranny or the corvair?
[04:42:16] <somenewguy_shp> zeeshan: yeah I debated putting this off another couple of days and ordering some studs
[04:42:39] <Snuggy> Running the 'Vair stuff - 3.27 'rear' opposed to the stock like 5.37s...
[04:42:57] <somenewguy_shp> but then I forgot one of the valve springs at the house so I aint closing the upper end today and figured I needed to get somethign done

[04:49:37] <somenewguy_shp> ool, whos that going for you?
[04:50:02] <WalterN> what?
[04:50:07] <somenewguy_shp> CaptHindsight: not sure what you're doing, but I saw some really cool stuff with edge detection not too long ago
[04:50:14] <CaptHindsight> WalterN: whatcha werkin on?
[04:50:39] <WalterN> CaptHindsight: single axes feeder for a bandsaw to make it automatic
[04:50:44] <somenewguy_shp> color vs hue and all that fun stuff to make shadows less of an issue, but it looks like you don't quite have that problem

[05:01:33] <WalterN> the abstraction layer between 0's and 1's and assembly is very thin

[05:33:01] <CaptHindsight> actually it is, have you seen any of the lower cost drones
[05:33:08] <WalterN> no
[05:33:42] <CaptHindsight> the algorithms have been around for decades

[05:34:58] <zeeshan> thats cool
[05:35:00] <WalterN> been on the back burner for ~8 years, but I think I could do it

[05:35:20] <WalterN> yeah
[05:35:23] <WalterN> something like that

[05:36:42] <CaptHindsight> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3inpqS-2exo Fiber-Optic Guided Missile FOG-M
[05:37:43] <WalterN> I'd make a hybrid engine, wax or plastic and hydrogen peroxide, cheap and easy to get, and easy to refine if necessary
[05:38:12] <CaptHindsight> or more
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5VcnCZ6Pv0 Tomahawk Cruise Missile style?

[05:39:20] <CaptHindsight> I was just reading about the new changes to private drone use
[05:39:23] <WalterN> http://spathengineering.com/ I made a bunch of rocket engine parts for this guy, I still keep in contact with him as a friend
[05:39:36] <CaptHindsight> not sure if that covers model rocketry as well
[05:39:52] <CaptHindsight> especially guided rocketry
[05:40:11] <WalterN> model rockets have strict weight requirements
[05:40:29] <WalterN> under like 8oz or something
[05:40:36] <CaptHindsight> what if launched from a drone?
[05:40:41] <WalterN> donno
[05:40:49] <WalterN> guidance is unknown too
[05:40:54] <WalterN> or rather, undefined

[05:44:01] <CaptHindsight> http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/07/us/drone-pilot-case-faa

[05:44:41] <MattyMatt> or wherever the MIC is flexing its muscles atm

[05:48:46] <WalterN> they lost their usefulness at the end of apollo
[05:49:09] <zeeshan> WalterN: i agree
[05:49:17] <zeeshan> =[
[05:49:17] <MattyMatt> i called my rocket Achilles 1, because I kinda knew the paper nozzle would blow out first
[05:49:26] <zeeshan> hopefully with the mars missions
[05:49:28] <zeeshan> it'll change.
[05:49:41] <WalterN> not likely
[05:49:50] <WalterN> SpaceX is where the bets are
[05:49:51] <CaptHindsight> http://www.estesrockets.com/rockets/pro-series
[05:50:05] <CaptHindsight> no real money in it
[05:50:25] <CaptHindsight> so I don't expect much progress in space
[05:50:28] <MattyMatt> planetaryresources is where it's at
[05:50:40] <WalterN> coal is where the money is at :P
[05:50:48] <zeeshan> CaptHindsight: be open minded :P
[05:50:54] <WalterN> though, helium3
[05:51:09] <MattyMatt> plant a flag on an asteroid, then sell nickel futures
[05:51:10] <zeeshan> almost the whole world at the time of some of the greatest pioneers
[05:51:13] <zeeshan> said similar stuff :P
[05:51:43] <CaptHindsight> can we send the banksters into space?
[05:51:53] <MattyMatt> half of them
[05:51:59] <zeeshan> honestly, the way i think of it is like this
[05:52:00] <WalterN> start with congress
[05:52:08] <MattyMatt> bottom half would be funniest
[05:52:11] <zeeshan> we have finite amount of resources, and to let the economy grow
[05:52:28] <zeeshan> we'll eventually need to venture off
[05:52:30] <WalterN> zeeshan: I'd disagree
[05:52:35] <WalterN> well
[05:52:40] <WalterN> kinda
[05:52:47] <zeeshan> i'm not thinking immediately in our lifetime
[05:52:47] <CaptHindsight> before they melt the place?
[05:53:38] <zeeshan> man
[05:53:46] <zeeshan> imagine running a milling machine in space
[05:53:57] <zeeshan> you can load a 10,000 lb part in the chuck like it was a joke
[05:53:58] <zeeshan> :D
[05:54:03] <WalterN> the post apcoliptic garbage about turning the planet into husk will never happen though, biological resources will _always_ be around
[05:54:07] <zeeshan> and go from a 4 jaw to 3 jaw easily
[05:54:18] <MattyMatt> inertia is the same
[05:54:28] <zeeshan> inertia is same yes
[05:54:31] <zeeshan> but there is no gravity
[05:54:37] <zeeshan> so you can easily float parts into position
[05:54:51] <zeeshan> but iguess when you're cutting metal
[05:54:55] <zeeshan> chips and fluid will be a nightmare
[05:54:55] <zeeshan> haha
[05:55:03] <CaptHindsight> it's getting them to and from that gets expensive and difficult
[05:55:10] <MattyMatt> by pushing them? if it's a big part, you'll be pushing yourself away more
[05:55:14] <WalterN> zeeshan: yeah, I've been thinking about that... how to run a lathe in space
[05:55:35] <CaptHindsight> well whats the lathe attached to?
[05:55:44] <WalterN> I havent thought of a good way to deal with coolant/chips
[05:55:45] <CaptHindsight> or is this a free floating lathe?
[05:55:46] <MattyMatt> when the head goes left, the bed goes right
[05:56:23] <CaptHindsight> wall mount :)
[05:56:46] <zeeshan> hahaha
[05:56:51] <zeeshan> wall mount. love that joke
[05:56:55] <WalterN> also,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Orion_%28nuclear_propulsion%29
[05:57:10] <MattyMatt> you couldn't afford to waste chips, and anyway they'd be a navigation hazard
[05:57:24] <CaptHindsight> space junk
[05:57:30] <zeeshan> i'd love to do my machining upside down
[05:58:04] <CaptHindsight> http://www.space.com/16518-space-junk.html
[05:58:11] <WalterN> zeeshan: until a coolant blob loaded with chips hits you in the arm/face/leg
[05:58:18] <zeeshan> :D
[05:58:27] <WalterN> and it just sticks
[05:58:32] <WalterN> no dripping off

[05:59:45] <CaptHindsight> Over 21,000 pieces of space trash larger than 4 inches (10 centimeters) and half a million bits of junk between 1 cm and 10 cm are estimated to circle the planet.

[06:00:12] <CaptHindsight> and thats before a space lathe
[06:00:24] <MattyMatt> in space, additive is easier. spray metals with electrons or lasers
[06:00:58] <zeeshan> yea but some components need to be metal
[06:01:02] <WalterN> thats true too
[06:01:03] <zeeshan> and need a crazy surface finish
[06:01:07] <WalterN> zeeshan: metal SLS
[06:01:10] <CaptHindsight> More than 500,000 pieces of debris, or “space junk,” are tracked as they orbit the Earth.
[06:01:19] <CaptHindsight> http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/news/orbital_debris.html
[06:01:22] <zeeshan> yea, but metal sls doesnt leave a good surface finish
[06:01:31] <zeeshan> and isn't that accurate
[06:01:42] <zeeshan> from the videos ive seen, you still need machining on journal bearing surfaces
[06:01:50] <zeeshan> or press fits
[06:01:55] <MattyMatt> you can spray all metals, and diamond for windows. that's 90% of your structural requirements
[06:01:59] -!- tris has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[06:02:00] <WalterN> CaptHindsight: if they made that 1950's-1960's Orion, they would not have to worry about junk floating in space

[06:03:11] <WalterN> dirt cheap to put stuff in space with

[06:06:12] <WalterN> that was before I was born
[06:06:39] <MattyMatt> if the energia hadn't exploded, there could've been a shuttle race
[06:06:41] <WalterN> (I'm ranting slightly more than I intended)
[06:07:24] <MattyMatt> mind you, buran woulda probably screwed the soyuz production, and we'd have lost that too
[06:08:21] -!- CaptHindsight_ has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[06:08:25] <WalterN> what?
[06:09:06] <MattyMatt> if the russians had piled all-in on shuttles
[06:09:23] <WalterN> oh
[06:09:44] <WalterN> shuttles are rather worthless... too much weight to be useful
[06:09:59] <WalterN> von braun and his buddies knew what they were doing
[06:10:19] <MattyMatt> yeah but too much weight to retire on the ground, when they had the choice of mothballing them in orbit
[06:10:54] <WalterN> the problem is chemical based rockets dont scale, thats why the orion project popped up
[06:11:43] <MattyMatt> chemical rockets don't take kindly to mothballing, when fueled
[06:12:12] <WalterN> by the time apollo was at the end of its life span, felix dyson and nuclear science buddies were ready to build (after scale testing) Orion
[06:13:00] <WalterN> they presented it to nixon and congress, but congress decided they could do better, and went with the shuttle, and micromanaged its design
[06:13:37] <WalterN> (short version of the fall of NASA)
[06:14:42] <WalterN> its kind of a really sad story... :-/
[06:15:23] <MattyMatt> it's at the part with the violins, before the car chase
[06:15:47] <WalterN> meh
[06:15:50] <MattyMatt> nasa's biggest problem was that it crowded out private enterprise
[06:16:14] <WalterN> enh
[06:16:17] <MattyMatt> so maybe now, it'll really shine
[06:16:35] <MattyMatt> taking public money and buying COTS stuff
[06:16:46] <WalterN> in the apollo days they defined basic computer systems... the way memory and electronics work
[06:16:59] <WalterN> that are standard practice today
[06:17:20] <MattyMatt> that probably all came from air force and navy. remember how nasa started
[06:18:22] <MattyMatt> nukes got compact, so the navy had some obsolete oversize rockets, so they formed naca specifically to play with those
[06:18:24] <WalterN> kinda... I guess you could say it started with advanced WW2 radar instillations... but w/e
[06:18:54] -!- jduhls has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[06:18:55] <WalterN> oh you mean the rockets?
[06:19:02] <MattyMatt> if you believe AC Clarke, it did :)
[06:20:06] <MattyMatt> it freaks me out they had mosfets in WW2
[06:20:10] <WalterN> well, there was more than one factor.. von braun worked for the military for ~5-10 years, before NASA started, but von braun kind of hated it... I'm sure that was a major factor too (spuntnick aside)
[06:20:26] <MattyMatt> it musta bugged them when deforrest patented bjt
[06:20:47] <WalterN> (not sure what bjt is... but alright)
[06:21:30] <MattyMatt> bipolar transistor BPT or whatever (on first coffee)
[06:21:31] <WalterN> also, basically all of the vacuum tubes are mosfet style... just really high power versions :P
[06:22:23] <WalterN> or am I thinking of a specific class of vacuum tube?
[06:22:37] <WalterN> I dont remember exactly :-/
[06:22:52] <WalterN> I don't get payed enough to know this stuff
[06:22:57] <MattyMatt> I never bothered to learn much about tubes. I kinda regret that
[06:23:37] <WalterN> I think most vacuum tubes are field effect
[06:23:42] <MattyMatt> gotta prune the knowlege. no puny human brain can contain everything anymore
[06:23:48] <WalterN> just not solid state
[06:25:04] <WalterN> they did have solid state simi-conductors in WW2 times... mostly revolving around quarts crystal, but still... nobody really had the time to study it

[06:27:25] <WalterN> that and interesting things going on with radar
[06:27:44] <MattyMatt> back to the subject of our own rockets. are these cheap mems gyros designed to cack out when used in a real threat missile?
[06:28:03] <WalterN> mems?
[06:28:14] <WalterN> you can get solid state gyros
[06:28:18] <MattyMatt> micro EM systems
[06:28:38] <WalterN> oh, I think we are talking about the same thing then?
[06:28:57] <MattyMatt> only solid state one I know is laser ones, and they are not cheap enough for a small afghan boy to buy
[06:30:12] <WalterN> you mean something like this?
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10937
[06:30:28] <MattyMatt> those are mems
[06:30:40] <MattyMatt> laser ones are usually triangular
[06:30:51] <WalterN> donno
[06:31:07] <WalterN> datasheet should say what kind of acceleration they should be able to handle
[06:31:12] <MattyMatt> mems is a silicon chip, etched to exhibit mechanical features
[06:32:15] <MattyMatt> yeah but the datasheet and secret military threat assessment are 2 different things. they have gotta have considered how to limit them, before letting civilians buy them
[06:32:38] <MattyMatt> you'd think
[06:33:22] <MattyMatt> if not, don't blame me when a combo of nintendo and estes brings down an airliner
[06:33:48] <WalterN> donno... I do know a guy to ask though, who does
[06:34:01] <WalterN> GPS is like that
[06:34:07] <WalterN> well, kinda
[06:34:27] <WalterN> not designed to break down under a load, just update times are slow
[06:34:45] <MattyMatt> you can't even buy 3% peroxide here anymore
[06:35:09] <MattyMatt> since the london bombs
[06:35:17] <WalterN> where is here? cause I called around and it seems like its easy to get 50% for industrial purposes
[06:35:48] <MattyMatt> UK
[06:35:54] <WalterN> oh yeah
[06:36:30] <MattyMatt> I say can't, but I'm always assuming I wouldn't pass the vetting
[06:36:41] <WalterN> there is a place that will make 80% and ship it to me via a tanker truck... I just have to provide the money and storage ability
[06:37:25] <WalterN> laws in USA suck, but the rest of the world still sucks more
[06:37:56] <MattyMatt> amazon.co.uk stock kg bags of saltptre, frequently bought together with flowers of sulpher. I'm tempted to order some, just to assess the bearocracy, but that's silly
[06:38:10] <WalterN> heh

[11:33:49] <MrSun_> hmm, anyone tried the xhc-hb04 code in the linuxcnc tree ?
[11:34:01] <MrSun_> got it working somewhat but getting alot of bitching from linuxcnc ...
[11:34:11] <MrSun_> cant start programs from the pendant etc :/
[11:34:23] <MrSun_> not allowed in manual mode, and not allowed in mdi mode ..
[11:36:45] <jthornton> tis true you can't do that
[11:36:58] <MrSun_> but how is then ever a pendant gonna work ?
[11:37:03] <MrSun_> =)
[11:37:15] <MrSun_> i dont understand ... cause like nothing works on pendant more than the jog wheel :/
[11:37:16] <jthornton> look on the forum for examples
[11:37:31] <MrSun_> not with the linuxcnc xhc-hb04 or the xhc-hb04-V6 from that other person :7
[11:37:46] <jthornton> I have remote start/pause examples on the forum
[11:38:37] <MrSun_> hmm where? =)

[11:43:20] <MrSun_> feels like i never will get it to work .. and the =0 button that i realy wanted on the pandats seems to be ***ed up to in all versions of hb04 stuff i can find :/
[11:46:55] <MrSun_> http://pastebin.com/yq67s9aw <-- that is directly from the xhc-hb04.tcl file in the linuxcnc git tree
[11:47:11] <MrSun_> thats how they handle start-pause .. shouldnt that work? :/
[11:47:38] <MrSun_> or can it have to be with outdated linuxcnc version on the computer ? (something has been changed in actual linuxcnc to be able to use the pendant stuff? )

[17:23:05] <CaptHindsight> as another option
[17:25:26] <tjtr33> thx, but i dont understand graphite as an electrical insulator ( i make electrode outta that) nor as a thermal transmitter ( same reason )
[17:25:44] <CaptHindsight> depends on the blend
[17:26:08] <CaptHindsight> they use oriented graphite in a polymer
[17:26:16] <tjtr33> isotropic

[17:26:48] <CaptHindsight> gesundheit
[17:26:54] <tjtr33> but i gonna cop out and use the silpad ( cuz i can bake on it too :)
[17:27:39] <SpeedEvil> Graphite is not an inductor
[17:27:40] <CaptHindsight> it's actually non-isotropic
[17:27:41] <SpeedEvil> err
[17:27:44] <SpeedEvil> insulator
[17:27:46] * SpeedEvil is not awake
[17:28:18] <SpeedEvil> It's overwhelmingly likely that if there are 8 transistors on a heatsink, with a thermal pad - that that thermal pad is there as an insulaotr
[17:28:32] <SpeedEvil> And putting a graphite pad on there will make it explode.
[17:28:38] <CaptHindsight> they aren't solid graphite, but when they also say graphite it depends on the particles, they may be coated so they are not good conductors
[17:28:53] amnesic is now known as amnesic_away
[17:29:18] <CaptHindsight> big particles with small electrically insulating gaps between them still make for good thermal conductors
[17:29:46] <CaptHindsight> that's the fun of making composites
[17:29:52] <SpeedEvil> Sure.
[17:30:02] * SpeedEvil keeps meaning to make some nice AlC composite
[17:30:10] <CaptHindsight> how to blend things together to get the qualities you want
[17:31:53] <tjtr33> found a roll of old school TO-3's sticky back rubbery insulators, several meters, useless for this tho, the leg holes might conduct
[17:32:26] <CaptHindsight> fill them with silicone
[17:33:07] <CaptHindsight> how thick are they?
[17:33:26] <tjtr33> ~.010
[17:33:56] <tjtr33> yeah silicone goop would work and keep the pcs in place during assy

[19:06:36] -!- Deejay has quit [Quit: bye]
[19:06:42] <jdh> just worn in the middle?
[19:06:49] <obix1> I believe so
[19:07:04] -!- mejackreed has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[19:07:05] <_methods> what kind of mill?
[19:07:20] <obix1> it's just a small Sieg X2
[19:07:23] <jdh> scrape the non-worn parts down to match the worn?
[19:07:45] <jdh> I would think those would die before wearing too much
[19:07:59] <_methods> probably came that way
[19:08:02] <obix1> i've worked it with seating compond which helped but didn't solve
[19:08:31] <obix1> I've got a lot of hours on it,
[19:08:46] <_methods> time to scrape
[19:08:49] <_methods> or remachine
[19:08:52] <jdh> are you sure it is the ways that are bad?
[19:08:56] <obix1> my steppers are 24v/ 305's which may be a little weak
[19:09:12] <obix1> but should still run it without play
[19:09:14] <_methods> you sure your gibs are right
[19:09:26] <obix1> how do you me 'right'?
[19:09:29] <jdh> have you replaced the stock crappy wyas?
[19:09:32] <archivist> obix1, I recommend a book called Machine tool reconditioning and applications of hand scraping Edward F. Connelly Machine Tool Publications, try to find a second hand copy
[19:09:48] <_methods> hehe yeah scraping......fun
[19:09:55] <archivist> :)
[19:09:55] <jdh> you could probably buy a new x2 base cheaper
[19:10:01] <obix1> thank you archivist!
[19:10:18] <archivist> and a bit of filing for badly worn cases
[19:10:30] <obix1> I think the bad area is the underside of the dovetail
[19:10:33] <archivist> or take to a grinding company
[19:11:03] <obix1> so scrape, file or grind ?
[19:11:09] <_methods> man that bed is so small if you're patient and attentive you can stone or scrape it pretty easy
[19:11:39] <obix1> ok thx, what would be a good stone to use
[19:12:03] <archivist> obix1, all of those methods, can be used in combination too
[19:12:23] <jdh> what mfg label is on teh mill?
[19:12:29] <obix1> should I try measureing it as I go, or just check for fit
[19:12:37] <obix1> it's a Harbor Freight
[19:12:40] <archivist> measure as well
[19:12:58] <obix1> with micrometer and steel dowels?
[19:13:17] <archivist> you can easily make the machine out of square if you dont measure properly
[19:14:11] <obix1> I've so far only found 1 youtube video addressing the issue, and so far nothing on google but it MUST be there...
[19:14:14] <jdh> http://littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=1421&category=
[19:14:20] <jdh> buy one of thsoe

[19:18:40] <_methods> how far out are your ways?
[19:19:16] <obix1> i'm guessing in the neighborhood of 10 thousandths
[19:19:59] <_methods> jesus
[19:20:34] <obix1> i can't say for sure as I haven't mic'd them yet...
[19:20:37] <archivist> we are hearing some horror stories in here with some of the machines
[19:20:50] <witnit> its sad ;(
[19:20:59] <witnit> so much wasted time on such machines
[19:21:28] <obix1> lol, i'd love a Bridgeport, someday when I have the cash...
[19:21:54] <_methods> well if you have room for a bridgeport you'd have been better off getting that
[19:21:55] <witnit> from what I heard you basicly have to rework the machines since they are bad when they come out of the crate
[19:22:05] <witnit> bridgport is cheap to come by
[19:22:13] <_methods> bridgeport is not much more than an x2
[19:22:17] <obix1> i have a stone for doing wood files, would it work
[19:22:48] <obix1> a regular sharpening stone, looks like the eBay one
[19:23:08] <witnit> you could probably do it with a belt sander and get closer than china had it (not seiours, dont do this) :P
[19:23:12] <_methods> that's up to you, if you know you can take surface off evenly

[19:24:32] <_methods> unless you have years of experience

[19:26:23] <obix1> I've outgrown it, so I want to get it working smoothly before selling
[19:26:34] <witnit> good of you
[19:26:58] <obix1> probably next step will be G0704
[19:27:06] <obix1> or similar
[19:27:38] <obix1> hossmachine makes them look pretty cool
[19:28:08] <archivist> hoss makes anything else look ok :)
[19:28:32] <witnit> I would suggest that you consider stepping up to industrial grade components whenever possible.
[19:29:37] <witnit> If you are willing to shop around you can spend less and in the long run you will spend more time creating and less time repairing
[19:30:39] <obix1> true, i haven't found much surplus in Montana where I live
[19:31:00] <witnit> understandable
[19:31:54] <obix1> is it possible to get a decent bridgeport for $2000-2500 ?
[19:32:00] <witnit> yes
[19:32:08] <witnit> you can get a very good machine for that cost
[19:32:25] <obix1> what model would you recommend?
[19:32:41] <witnit> what do you plan to do with it?
[19:32:45] <witnit> cnc, or manual
[19:32:50] <obix1> cnc
[19:33:06] <obix1> I mechine a lot of my aluminum castings
[19:34:34] <witnit> just make sure you get one that has a variable speed motor control and always keep your eye out for a pneumatic collet quick change unit.
[19:34:43] <witnit> rpm control*
[19:35:01] <obix1> ok thx good info
[19:35:10] <obix1> tool changer would be awesome!
[19:35:11] <witnit> unless you intend to put a servo on the spindle
[19:35:27] <witnit> well its not a tool changer just a quick pneumatic collet loosener
[19:35:27] <obix1> well bigger is better..

[20:30:25] <_methods> g33?
[20:30:34] <Swapper_> yea rigid tapping
[20:30:38] <_methods> ah
[20:30:50] <_methods> are you missing a flag
[20:31:02] <Swapper_> http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/2.4/html/gcode_main.html#sec:G33.1-Rigid-Tapping
[20:31:10] <_methods> sounds like you need a # for k
[20:31:11] amnesic is now known as amnesic_away
[20:31:32] <Swapper_> i have? its 1
[20:31:33] <Swapper_> G33.1 Z-0.750 K0.05
[20:31:37] <Swapper_> for an exampel
[20:31:40] <Swapper_> example
[20:31:54] <Swapper_> and mine is G33.1 Z-11. K1.
[20:32:18] <Swapper_> the example is in inches i guess mine in mm
[20:32:19] <witnit> _methods 4200 parts, and had to regrind
[20:32:26] <_methods> wow nice
[20:32:39] <witnit> im impressed :)
[20:32:57] <witnit> swapper is it possible for one axis to be in IN and the other MM?
[20:33:12] <Swapper_> no ?
[20:33:17] <witnit> haha
[20:33:32] <_methods> is it exceeding your machine velocity?
[20:33:38] <_methods> at your spindle speed
[20:34:10] <Swapper_> dont think so becuse when i tried it before with only the g33.1 and ran silly speeds it faulted.
[20:34:11] <witnit> have you tried other examples with any success?
[20:34:14] <micges> Swapper_: what linuxcnc version?
[20:34:18] <Swapper_> but i can try with a real slow
[20:34:27] <Swapper_> micges: latest version via apt-get
[20:34:32] <Swapper_> updated it 10 min a go
[20:35:12] <cradek> Swapper_: if it doesn't give you the expected pitch, your spindle encoder's scaling is wrong
[20:35:53] <Swapper_> the problem is that it posts a big fat red error message saying "k word missing with g33"
[20:36:02] <Swapper_> and then the spindle keeps rotating
[20:36:23] <cradek> well if you're tapping you should be using g33.1
[20:36:50] <Swapper_> the error message says k word missing with g33/g33.1 so its generic
[20:36:51] <Swapper_> sorry
[20:36:51] <cradek> that error message means just what it says - you're calling g33 without a k word, which is an error
[20:37:01] <Swapper_> but im not!
[20:37:09] <Swapper_> http://pastebin.com/yhMXikGK < k=1
[20:37:28] <Swapper_> i have tried removing the . (dots)
[20:37:30] <Swapper_> no change
[20:37:41] <Swapper_> does it have to have a ending 0 ?
[20:37:58] <Swapper_> like G33.1 Z-11. K1.0
[20:38:59] <cradek> you're looking at the wrong line
[20:39:10] <cradek> the error is N85 Z5.
[20:40:07] <cradek> it probably meant N85 G0 Z5.
[20:40:12] <Swapper_> hum guess thats not a valid one :)
[20:40:23] <witnit> ha still stuck in other g mode
[20:40:27] <witnit> good eye cradek :)
[20:41:24] <Swapper_> ill try !
[20:41:25] <Swapper_> ty
[20:42:06] <cradek> yay, welcome
[20:44:18] <Swapper_> works perfectly !
[20:44:26] <Swapper_> typ vm
[20:44:33] <Swapper_> thanks
[20:44:57] <Swapper_> but that means that the post in HSMWORKS is broken
[20:45:03] <cradek> sure
[20:45:08] <cradek> posts are always broken when you get them :-)

[20:59:34] <gene78> hello guys, inch vs mm problem
[21:00:00] -!- terabyte- has quit [Quit: terabyte-]
[21:00:49] <gene78> about 2 years back, i did some mteric threads with g76, by specifying all metric includeing diamter and length units in the code header
[21:03:29] <gene78> worked just fine. but now i do the same thing in the latest 2.5.4, and every move is wonky. i bent the screw, as it crawled overr the top of the tool, pushed the tailstock back about 1/4 inch out of the center drill, and broke two corners off a $30+ carbide chip.
[21:04:21] <gene78> so, i guess i have to rewrite the ini file in all mm measurements. but the 64 dollar question is why?
[21:05:09] <JT-Shop> you might have mixed up the units in the preamble or something like that

[21:08:05] <JT-Shop> that doesn't make any sense, you can freely switch between metric and imperial threads
[21:08:56] -!- FinboySlick has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[21:09:09] <JT-Shop> I cut both metric and inch threads from the same ngcgui subroutine

[21:09:58] <gene78> but in the manual i don't find a gmode to switch the x measurements
[21:10:14] <gene78> from inch to mm, bummer
[21:10:41] <gene78> g20-g21 only effect thew z motion it says.
[21:13:21] <gene78> but even that is screwed up, the first move is to drive_line diamter, looks good, next move z to thread start at 46mm, which runs it to 18 displayed in metric?
[21:15:58] <micges> gene78: show some gcode
[21:21:09] <gene78> i don't see a copy paste in konversation?
