[00:00:56] <CaptHindsight> cncformywife: what will you do with the results of computing the range of cutting forces?
[00:03:46] <CaptHindsight> cncformywife: have you looked at small mills that can easily handle engraving?
[00:05:40] <cncformywife> if i will know how much force i need to "push" the cutting bit in to the material, i will know how ridgid to make the machine

[00:11:52] <cncformywife> i need the "End Mill Nomenclature" ?

[00:12:12] <cncformywife> CaptHindsight: ?
[00:16:01] <cncformywife> what is "Effective cutting diameter"
[00:16:17] <cncformywife> the diameter of the cutting bit?
[00:16:24] <cncformywife> help!!
[00:16:39] <jfigie> yes it is diameter of cutter
[00:16:39] -!- The_Ball [The_Ball!~ballen@202.10.92.134] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:17:19] <jfigie> used to calculate cutter speed
[00:17:49] <cncformywife> 3/32" inch
[00:18:36] <jfigie> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speeds_and_feeds
[00:19:15] <cncformywife> jfigie: i need to find the side force that i need to "push" the bit.
[00:19:57] <jfigie> ok I don't know how to calculate that.
[00:20:02] Guest26006 is now known as abetusk
[00:20:09] <jfigie> not too much for a 3/32 cutter
[00:20:16] <jfigie> force that is
[00:20:27] -!- dybskiy has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[00:20:31] <jfigie> of course it depends on the material and the cutting speed
[00:20:38] -!- Lathe_newbie has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds]
[00:21:14] <cncformywife> but i need it very very accurate in titanium
[00:21:33] <jfigie> and depth of cut
[00:21:53] <jfigie> and number of cutting teeth
[00:22:09] <zeeshan|2> theres 5 major parameters. depth of cut, feed rate, cutting speed, tool material, work piece material
[00:22:21] <zeeshan|2> but if you're trying to design only
[00:22:29] <zeeshan|2> you'll take worse case scenario for all of them
[00:22:43] <cncformywife> the depth is small 1 mm~
[00:22:43] <zeeshan|2> which is something you need to decide on :p
[00:23:01] <zeeshan|2> are you sure titanium is the only material you'l be cutting?
[00:23:02] -!- va7cdb has quit [Client Quit]
[00:23:46] <cncformywife> gold, silver, brass, hard wood.
[00:23:55] <zeeshan|2> okay those arent really hard materials
[00:23:57] <mozmck> The smallest little engraving machine around would probably work. I think you need to worry more about spindle vibrations than side forces.
[00:24:03] <zeeshan|2> so i guess, titanium would be your worst case material
[00:24:19] <zeeshan|2> that gives you the variable 'surface feet per minute'
[00:24:22] <zeeshan|2> 50
[00:24:28] <zeeshan|2> er..
[00:24:31] <cncformywife> mozmck: NO! thay not accurate!!
[00:24:33] <zeeshan|2> actually i'd design for 200sfm.
[00:24:54] <cncformywife> you have a-lot of backlash
[00:25:00] <mozmck> you build it more accurate then.
[00:25:56] <cncformywife> the accurate machines start at 20K$
[00:26:00] <mozmck> use fine pitch, high quality ball screws, good quality linear ways and bearings etc.
[00:26:17] <zeeshan|2> you can have accurate lead screws
[00:26:29] <zeeshan|2> but tool deflection/machine deflection would suck
[00:26:29] <zeeshan|2> :p
[00:26:53] <jfigie> hmm it think you want your machine to be able to provide way more force than the minimum otherwise you will probalby have a hard time controlling the position and velocity
[00:27:20] <cncformywife> but what size of linear rails? and screw?

[00:27:37] -!- somenewguy has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
[00:27:39] <zeeshan|2> cncformywife: it's not as simple as what size rails
[00:27:53] <zeeshan|2> you need to determine the worst case cutting force for your application
[00:28:08] <zeeshan|2> once you do that, you need to determine the type of geometric rail configuration you want
[00:28:14] <zeeshan|2> ie simple supported beams (typically)
[00:28:22] <zeeshan|2> from there you can use deflection of beams formulas
[00:28:29] <zeeshan|2> to determine the bead size / cross section
[00:28:31] <zeeshan|2> *beam
[00:28:33] -!- sumpfralle has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[00:29:01] <cncformywife> titanium it the worst case.
[00:29:28] <cncformywife> now i design it in solidworks.
[00:29:50] <zeeshan|2> okay if youre gonna use fea
[00:29:55] <zeeshan|2> then you just need your cutting forces
[00:29:59] <jfigie> I think one way would be to have someone cut some titanium under your conditions and measure the motor current
[00:30:00] <zeeshan|2> and the 'worst case position'

[00:30:22] <jfigie> then use the Kt of the motor to determine the torque applied
[00:30:41] <zeeshan|2> jfigie: that's exactly how they come up with material removal rates
[00:31:03] <zeeshan|2> it's more accurate just to have a load cell on the motor body
[00:31:11] <jfigie> sure
[00:31:12] <zeeshan|2> to determine the force, and you know the torque arm
[00:31:28] <cncformywife> jfigie: you run... slow... slow...
[00:31:47] <jfigie> load cell a bit harder for a hobbyist
[00:32:09] <zeeshan|2> if a load cell is hard
[00:32:20] <zeeshan|2> then you can make bracket
[00:32:25] <zeeshan|2> and put it on a digital bahtroom scale
[00:32:26] <zeeshan|2> :)
[00:33:27] <jfigie> sure but modifying a machine that already works with scale of load cell is a bit of work that is my point
[00:33:44] <jfigie> much easier to measure current
[00:33:53] <cncformywife> but how i can calculate the optimal force.
[00:34:02] <cncformywife> i can say 30 kg..

[00:35:20] <zeeshan|2> what size tool are you using?
[00:35:20] <cncformywife> yes it is make it.. but maybe 10 kg of force is enough?
[00:35:30] <cncformywife> 3/32"
[00:35:50] <zeeshan|2> how many flutes
[00:36:10] <cncformywife> 2-4
[00:37:22] <cncformywife> i dont know which is the worse case
[00:38:13] <cncformywife> what is the "Vc Cutting speed:"
[00:38:35] <cncformywife> i will say "the fastest..."
[00:39:07] <zeeshan|2> 200 sfm
[00:39:10] <zeeshan|2> put that
[00:39:13] <zeeshan|2> if using carbide

[00:39:28] <cncformywife> ap Axial Depth of cut:?
[00:39:32] <zeeshan|2> brinell hardness for titanium is 334
[00:40:07] <jfigie> use 3/32 for axial depth

[00:40:12] <zeeshan|2> look at the image on the top right
[00:40:17] <zeeshan|2> 0.039 for ap

[00:41:27] <zeeshan|2> im getting 20 lb
[00:41:31] <zeeshan|2> of force..
[00:41:35] <zeeshan|2> so i'd design for 3x that :P
[00:41:49] <cncformywife> Required feed per tooth?
[00:41:55] <zeeshan|2> 0.003
[00:42:14] <zeeshan|2> for titanium you should be between 0.003 to 0.010 with carbide
[00:42:24] <cncformywife> what is ? Cm Machinability factor
[00:42:41] <zeeshan|2> just put 1 for that
[00:42:44] -!- rob_h has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
[00:42:46] <zeeshan|2> same with tool wear factor
[00:42:49] <zeeshan|2> and machine efficiency factor
[00:43:04] <cncformywife> 1.0 1.20 1.4??
[00:43:19] <zeeshan|2> C_m, C_w, E should all be 1.
[00:43:24] <zeeshan|2> don't let them effect the end result
[00:43:39] <cncformywife> 1 is the worse?
[00:43:54] <zeeshan|2> 1 is unity, so shouldnt effect the final answer
[00:44:56] <zeeshan|2> you can set E to .9

[01:20:11] <cncformywife> so it is make sense? or something wrong with this calc..
[01:22:05] <jfigie> metal removal rate is now much lower. But often with a larger dia tool you can increase the tooth load you kept it a .003
[01:24:21] <cncformywife> tool load?
[01:24:42] <cncformywife> Reduced feed per tooth:0.003in. (chip load at the cut)?
[01:24:52] <jfigie> tooth load = feed per tooth
[01:26:07] <jfigie> you could probably increase from .003 to .01 or more
[01:26:12] <cncformywife> but is you say 0.003 to 0.010 for titanium
[01:26:46] <cncformywife> i change it to 0.03
[01:27:13] <jfigie> I am just a hobby machinist so I don't really know how much you can go
[01:27:56] <cncformywife> but now in 1" i get Ft Tangential cutting force:43.778lb

[02:42:47] <cncformywife> LeelooMinai: - it is not accurate enough!
[02:42:49] <LeelooMinai> They claim max runout 1 mil
[02:43:18] <gkamysz> so what is your machine accuracy going to be?
[02:43:27] <gkamysz> resolution?
[02:43:31] <LeelooMinai> cncformywife: You did not specify the needs
[02:43:38] <cncformywife> i need ability of 0.2 mm bit
[02:43:59] <cncformywife> with out brake it..
[02:44:00] <gkamysz> cutting metal?
[02:44:05] <LeelooMinai> cncformywife: And why do you think that rotary tool cannot handle that?
[02:44:15] <cncformywife> yes.
[02:45:02] <gkamysz> will dental turbine handle it?
[02:45:04] <LeelooMinai> You can put whatever tiny biots you have on it
[02:45:16] <cncformywife> the proxxon is not precise and too big..
[02:45:36] <cncformywife> i need 6" on 4" on 2"
[02:45:46] <LeelooMinai> Ok, but I don't understand how did you figure it's not precise...
[02:45:54] <LeelooMinai> It has only 1 mil runout
[02:45:56] <cncformywife> but precise..
[02:46:20] <cncformywife> what is "runout" ?
[02:46:42] <LeelooMinai> YOu don't know what runout is, but you know it's not precise enough - that's weird:)
[02:46:56] <gkamysz> runout needs ot be small, like 3-4 tenths max
[02:47:16] <gkamysz> .001 is huge for a 0.2mm cutter
[02:47:21] <zeeshan|2> shits gonna shatter
[02:47:24] <zeeshan|2> in a second lol
[02:47:26] <zeeshan|2> at 1 thou
[02:47:31] <XXCoder> I'm impressed with bosch at work, I hope thios bosch trim router will have very good stuff and low runout on my router
[02:47:34] <zeeshan|2> not even in a second!
[02:48:00] <XXCoder> that made me wonder. is class engravable?
[02:48:31] <gkamysz> you need a real spindle for that, something like Precise or Kavo
[02:48:42] <XXCoder> er Glass
[02:48:44] <LeelooMinai> Ok, so what is the target runout here - 5 μm or so?
[02:48:49] <zeeshan|2> XXCoder: yes it is
[02:48:58] <zeeshan|2> people use diamond tools to do that all thje time
[02:49:00] <XXCoder> delicate touch i bet
[02:49:07] <LeelooMinai> That may end up being expensive
[02:49:29] <gkamysz> yes
[02:49:59] <LeelooMinai> I iquoted that Proxxon tool because it's better then Dremel and similar brutal tools, but is still pretty cheap for hobbyist
[02:50:19] <LeelooMinai> I use it for pcb drilling
[02:50:22] <cncformywife> look here.
[02:50:24] <cncformywife> http://www.esslinger.com/tungstensteeltwistdrill.aspx
[02:50:34] <cncformywife> this are the bits.
[02:50:43] <LeelooMinai> With tiny carbide drills - some 0.3mm and it worked fine
[02:51:39] <LeelooMinai> Yes, I have somparable sized and did not break them
[02:51:46] <LeelooMinai> comparable
[02:52:06] <LeelooMinai> But I was just drilling. Not sure what would happen if you actually used mills
[02:52:12] <LeelooMinai> endmills that is
[02:53:01] <cncformywife> now she work with this

[02:53:39] <XXCoder> you'd have to rebuild it since those apparently is always crappily built but parts good

[02:53:51] <XXCoder> gonnma run
[02:54:51] <cncformywife> the "ebay" engraver are junk.
[02:56:44] <cncformywife> i need to machine expensive metal. and the end mill will brake and destroy the work - it will be bad
[02:57:01] <zeeshan|2> cncformywife: then you should buy a machine
[02:57:02] <zeeshan|2> lol
[02:57:19] -!- dnaleromj has quit []
[02:57:22] <cncformywife> give me 20K$
[02:57:39] <zeeshan|2> you're kind of lost in how to design the machine
[02:57:40] <cncformywife> i have only 2K :-(
[02:57:41] <zeeshan|2> good luck
[02:58:11] <cncformywife> zeeshan|2: i heve an idea.
[02:58:18] <zeeshan|2> if i were you, i'd pick up a cheap chinese x-y router
[02:58:22] <zeeshan|2> replace the electronics and spindle
[02:58:27] <zeeshan|2> and it'll work decent
[02:58:59] <cncformywife> i see one of them work - for wood - fine.
[02:59:13] <zeeshan|2> yea but cutting titanium
[02:59:16] <zeeshan|2> and wood are compeltely on different levels
[02:59:20] <cncformywife> metal - forget about that.
[02:59:20] <zeeshan|2> almost uncomparable
[03:00:08] <cncformywife> and the machine itself is wobbly..
[03:00:22] <zeeshan|2> oh
[03:00:23] <LeelooMinai> cncformywife: Maybe this could do? Not CNC, but nice:
http://www.proxxon.com/us/micromot/34104.php?list
[03:00:24] <zeeshan|2> then thats no good :p
[03:00:44] <zeeshan|2> cncformywife: we calculated earlier you need at most a machine
[03:00:50] <LeelooMinai> Or this:
http://www.proxxon.com/us/micromot/34108.php?list
[03:00:54] <zeeshan|2> that doesnt deflect by more than 0.0003"
[03:01:00] <zeeshan|2> at a force of 40lb
[03:01:14] <zeeshan|2> you have all the parameters to know what machine to get
[03:01:15] <zeeshan|2> :P
[03:01:44] <cncformywife> how you calculate it??
[03:01:54] <zeeshan|2> we used that calculator?
[03:02:39] <zeeshan|2> if you truly want to design a machine with confidence you can go either 2 routes
[03:02:50] <zeeshan|2> 1. learn mechanics of materials and machine elements
[03:03:21] <zeeshan|2> 2. trial and error or by 'feel' and making it 3 times that size ;p
[03:03:52] <zeeshan|2> 3rd option
[03:04:01] <zeeshan|2> copy someone else's known working design
[03:04:02] <zeeshan|2> :p
[03:04:43] <zeeshan|2> LeelooMinai: how much is that micromill?
[03:04:46] <zeeshan|2> by proxxon
[03:04:58] <zeeshan|2> actually nm
[03:04:59] <LeelooMinai> I think $500 or so
[03:05:01] <zeeshan|2> the spindle speed is too slow
[03:05:05] <zeeshan|2> im looking for something of that form
[03:05:08] <zeeshan|2> but 30000 rpm spindle
[03:05:11] <cncformywife> i really impressed by the datron machine
[03:06:01] <cncformywife> but they sell expensive and big machines for what i need..
[03:06:35] <cncformywife> so, i think to "copy" datron machine but in small scale.
[03:07:24] <cncformywife> milling area of A5 size (half of A4 paper)
[03:07:46] <cncformywife> Z axis of 3-4 inch
[03:08:09] <cncformywife> so i can put mini 4 axis.
[03:10:05] <cncformywife> zeeshan|2: ?
[03:10:09] <tjtr33> unless you have better machines tools than the datron, you cannot build as good as datron. you loose in the replication. IMO i do not think you are up to it, maybe you can, but i suggest: look for used dead machines that are suitable and add a new linuxcnc control.
[03:10:38] <zeeshan|2> tjtr33: lol
[03:10:43] <zeeshan|2> you're a linuxcnc preacher!
[03:10:53] <tjtr33> sorry preach mode off
[03:10:55] <zeeshan|2> and reviver of the dead machines
[03:10:56] <cncformywife> i have linux cnc..
[03:10:58] <zeeshan|2> :-)
[03:11:43] <cncformywife> at the past i almost buy the small proxxon mini mill
[03:12:07] <cncformywife> but the lowww Z axis...
[03:12:39] <cncformywife> is too low..
[03:14:17] <cncformywife> not the X
[03:14:19] <cncformywife> the Y
[03:14:48] <cncformywife> only 1 point something, inch..

[03:16:37] <zeeshan|2> cute!
[03:16:57] <cncformywife> yes.. but to small

[03:39:03] <PetefromTn_> cncformywife yeah>
[03:39:55] <tjtr33> what are those called? you make the model for a coin _huge_ , then reduce it to actual size
[03:39:59] <cncformywife> do you think i can get this quality?

[03:42:20] <cncformywife> i want to reach to the same quality, but in smaller machine..
[03:48:00] <tjtr33> granite table, fine pitch magnetic vise, 80K spindle. and a damn stiff machine. you wanna build this ? consider designing and sending the files out to be made by someone with machines like that.
[03:49:52] -!- sylphiae has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
[03:51:46] <tjtr33> ah yes, the master coins were 'galvanos' and were run on a 'Janvier' reducing lathe. making little coin dies from the huge master artwork
[03:52:25] <tjtr33> oops, made master hubs, that made master dies
[03:52:49] <cncformywife> tjtr33: granite table is not expensive, 80K spindle i think to use dental drill
[03:53:26] <tjtr33> dental drill have too much side play for cnc, it will break tools. dental tools are meant to held in hand, not in metal
[03:55:18] <cncformywife> and what about dremel?
[03:55:29] <tjtr33> go look at real machine tools, ask the shop owner to show you the basics. they are not 'wiggly' at all.
[03:55:57] <cncformywife> but they cost!!!!
[03:56:10] <tjtr33> hand held tool are meant to be held in hand, and the hand 'gives' and the hand 'feels' the cut. thats _not_ what cnc needs. cnc needs rigid, and exact speed control
[03:56:22] <cncformywife> and i need room for that...
[03:56:57] <cncformywife> dremel is good?

[04:08:25] <cncformywife> i need 90 deg of stiff base
[04:11:12] <cncformywife> but how i put rails in the granite?
[04:12:49] <XXCoder> embed before cure I would assume. you'd have to be VERY careful not to misalign it
[04:13:12] <XXCoder> or maybe embed holes for mounting? I never tried epoxy grinite thing so dunno
[04:13:27] <cncformywife> no no..
[04:13:46] <cncformywife> in alredy make granite
[04:14:01] <XXCoder> oh tap and drill holes I guess? no idea

[04:16:15] <LeelooMinai> Ok, well, I am not sure if that's viable, but maybe drilling some hole-pockets, then using epoxy to embed some metal inserts with threaded holes?
[04:16:55] <LeelooMinai> Probably with some special drills - diamond coated or who knows what (?)

[07:32:14] <SpeedEvil> It's common to grease the thread, put on two nuts, and add epoxy.
[07:33:16] <SpeedEvil> you put the first nut on a bit proud of the surface, so torquing down the matching fitting doesn't load the granite
[07:35:07] <RyanS> Is this for using granite as a machine base?

[07:56:38] <Loetmichel> you asked how to mount rails on a granite beam, didnt you?
[08:00:18] <RyanS> What would be cheaper to acquire a slab of granite or cast iron and, although I guess you need access to a vertical milling machine to machine cast-iron
[08:01:08] <SpeedEvil> Cast iron is more expensive than countertops
[08:01:27] * SpeedEvil wonders again about casting yourself.
[08:01:33] <SpeedEvil> (iron, not granite)
[08:02:23] <SpeedEvil> http://www.granitek.co.uk/ - interesting
[08:02:33] <SpeedEvil> 'As with ordinary concrete polymer concrete can be moulded into any shape or form in its pre-set state. When cured polymer concrete is much harder than conventional concrete and exhibits all of the material properties of hard granite.
[08:02:34] <RyanS> and countertops are flat enough?
[08:02:36] <Loetmichel> casting iron yourself is not without dangers
[08:03:34] <RyanS> you want to make a casting of yourself ? :P
[08:03:37] <SpeedEvil> Loetmichel: Well, no.
[08:03:43] <Loetmichel> especially when you intent to cast a machine base, with needs more than a few 100 grams of iron ;-)
[08:03:47] <SpeedEvil> RyanS: Who doesn't want a life-size statue of themself?
[08:04:01] <SpeedEvil> RyanS: On every streetcorner.

[08:19:24] <cncformywife> she say NO!!!
[08:19:34] <gonzo_> or run away with his wife, you could win half a cnc machine in the settlement
[08:19:59] <RyanS> That's okay, just thought I would ask
[08:20:25] <cncformywife> you need 4 axis to do it equal :(
[08:21:02] <RyanS> No no no, five axis minimum
[08:21:19] <cncformywife> 5 it's not the max?
[08:21:24] <SpeedEvil> RyanS: that's $100 or so
[08:21:36] <SpeedEvil> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1HNnDdHygo - $20 axes.
[08:21:39] <cncformywife> 100$??
[08:22:43] <cncformywife> SpeedEvil: yes, it's multi direction milling.
[08:23:18] <RyanS> Axe murderer
[08:28:14] <RyanS> 5C or ER32, of for work holding? I don't want to have to stock two types, if possible. ER 32 would be economical solution
[08:29:07] <cncformywife> what spindle you have?
[08:31:10] <RyanS> I was more referring to. If I get a milling machine, I'm thinking of 4 axis. And you can go ER32 or 5C
[08:33:56] <cncformywife> i think 5c have drowbar
[08:34:04] <cncformywife> and ER32 not,
[08:34:51] <cncformywife> if you have drowbar you can make power drowbar and have ATC.

[08:46:23] <RyanS> I could be totally mistaken, but 4 axis would perhaps save the setup time?
[08:46:48] <cncformywife> i'm almost buy the 1100
[08:47:01] <cncformywife> but i see it is stepper.
[08:47:52] <Loetmichel> cncformywife: how can a linear way have bnacklash?
[08:47:59] <RyanS> Two large for me. But apparently if you don't machine large parts, which are usually don't. 10,000 RPM is going to machine some things quicker
[08:48:07] <SpeedEvil> Loetmichel: Some machine makers are very skilled

[08:50:31] <cncformywife> move to the side.. be wobble
[08:50:39] <RyanS> How to multitasking lathes index the spindle. As far as I understand they use direct drive induction motor? I guess they have a stepper motor and automated gearbox? couple to the spindle
[08:51:06] <SpeedEvil> you can in principle use an induction motor at zero speed to provide torque
[08:51:45] <SpeedEvil> you'd need some form of feedback of course, and a stepper might be easier
[08:51:46] <cncformywife> so the SBR12UU have backlash? ?
[08:52:39] <RyanS> Because the videos I see they run up to full speed all the way down to like five rpm, and presumably don't backdrive
[08:52:51] <cncformywife> for mor than 15$ i want servo, thay give you rotory table for 4.5K$ and for 8K$ stepper CNC
[08:53:29] <cncformywife> rotory table is max 500$ + motor + conroler = 1000$ maX
[08:53:32] <RyanS> actually well servo motor is simply an induction motor connected to a gearbox and a controller?

[08:58:13] <RyanS> I just guess you have to be into doing it
[08:58:20] <RyanS> To build a CNC
[08:59:30] <RyanS> I do want to build lathe, it seems to be more straightforward to me
[08:59:32] <cncformywife> i want something good for the price. the 1100 is very good but not for the price.
[09:00:20] <cncformywife> the forces on lathe is extremely high
[09:00:33] <cncformywife> if you want to machine metal.
[09:00:34] <RyanS> Unfortunately, I think it's the cheapest option if you want something that works, :(
[09:00:58] <RyanS> I'm not sure about that, . I thought they are more efficient than milling
[09:01:34] <cncformywife> i have bad experiance with the HF lathe.
[09:01:45] <cncformywife> it was 450$
[09:01:54] <cncformywife> but pure crap
[09:02:07] <RyanS> I think that would be the really small
[09:02:50] <cncformywife> i try to machine wood - work. metal - stuff start move.. bad bad finish.
[09:03:17] <RyanS> We have 150 mm 550 mm, 750w. It's actually not too bad, we can cut about 2 mm in stainless steel
[09:03:21] <cncformywife> i retaen it after few days
[09:03:35] <RyanS> sorry 350
[09:03:56] <RyanS> and 550 w
[09:03:59] <cncformywife> 2mm steel? in dia?

[09:04:24] <cncformywife> hoooo
[09:04:29] <cncformywife> i see,,
[09:04:47] <cncformywife> in the HF 0.1 and you kill the machine...
[09:05:20] <RyanS> And can do 3 mm in mild steel acceptably, but three is a bit too much for stainless, it will tolerate it. Okay, but not brilliant
[09:05:25] <cncformywife> maybe for brass is good.. i havent try..
[09:05:50] <RyanS> Strangely, we don't seem to and get a lot more than three out of aluminium

[15:35:51] <CaptHindsight> if you need the granite base to insure sub-micron accuracy while engraving, then I'd suggest the Rockwell air bearing linear servo positioners to go with it

[18:26:20] <kfoltman> cncformywife: but, all in all, the ballscrew+rail set-up is relatively easiest to put together, especially if you don't have access to advanced tools
[18:27:26] <kfoltman> LeelooMinai: do you mill PCBs?
[18:27:56] <LeelooMinai> kfoltman: I am changing floors in my house for mom:/
[18:28:08] <LeelooMinai> kfoltman: Instead of playing with almost-finished CNC
[18:28:15] <LeelooMinai> Sad
[18:28:17] <kfoltman> LeelooMinai: ah!
[18:28:26] <kfoltman> well, mildly annoying I suppose
[18:28:44] <kfoltman> yay have a new toy, boo can't play with it
[18:29:38] <LeelooMinai> Also, I need to wait for some money - I want to buy that mesa set and maybe surface plate to test the CNC for accuraccy - tons of things I want to do yet. Then I need to make some kind of acrylic or polycarbonate cover for it, etc
[18:30:06] <LeelooMinai> It's a bit of money sink toy:)
[18:30:40] <LeelooMinai> And I am not even at the stage of getting the spindle + all bits for milling and some clamping solution

[18:34:57] <kfoltman> LeelooMinai: it's an expensive hobby
[18:40:12] <Jymmm> All hobbies are expensive
[18:41:32] <SpeedEvil> Writing.
[18:42:18] <kfoltman> SpeedEvil: trolling
[18:42:26] <Loetmichel> LeelooMinai: cannt say that it is a money sink
[18:42:29] <LeelooMinai> Well, most hobbies usually get expensive if one really gets deep into them - begins to buy specialized tools, more accurate, more reliable, tries doing exotic projects, etc.
[18:42:34] <Loetmichel> the oposite
[18:42:59] <Loetmichel> it has saved me lots of money for model pats in the last 2 decades ;-)
[18:43:04] <Loetmichel> parts
[18:43:07] <LeelooMinai> Loetmichel: I mean for a hobbyist. I guess if you actually say what you make, it will pay back.
[18:43:20] <LeelooMinai> say=sell
[18:43:28] <Loetmichel> i didnt sell any
[18:43:46] <Loetmichel> but i saved so much money in making my own parts.
[18:43:57] <LeelooMinai> Well, yes, I guess once you have it going you can make parts that one would otherwise have to buy, but I am not at this stage.
[18:44:04] <kfoltman> You can't really make any serious device without having access to a CNC router or at least a laser cutter
[18:44:14] <SpeedEvil> Well, if the money saved was parts that go toward the hobby...
[18:44:21] <Loetmichel> for example: one copter chassis similar to this will cost about 200 eur:
http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=12997
[18:44:34] <LeelooMinai> First you need to reach the stage when everything is working - and it's a long way to get there for someone without a lot of money.
[18:44:38] <Loetmichel> ... it had cost me less than 15 eur in aluminium and a bit of paint
[18:44:56] <Loetmichel> SpeedEvil: OTHER hobby
[18:45:05] <Loetmichel> so the machine isnt the money sink ;-)
[18:45:13] <Loetmichel> the other hobbys are
[18:45:14] <SpeedEvil> ah
[18:45:16] <jdh> so I went to Lowes to buy some MDF for my router. Then I remembered I don't use MDF, it's just particleboard
[18:45:20] <Loetmichel> .. and the wife of course
[18:45:43] <SpeedEvil> MDF is good in some ways
[18:46:04] <LeelooMinai> Particle board is kind of terrible in almost any respect
[18:46:21] <kfoltman> is there a difference between particle board and hdf?
[18:46:35] <jdh> but, particle board is better than MDF (for this)
[18:46:58] <SpeedEvil> For what?
[18:47:13] <jdh> spoilboard
[18:47:22] <SpeedEvil> Well, I guess.

[19:17:41] <kfoltman> is that just a fact of life, or am I doing something wrong?

[19:17:58] <Jymmm> That's BBB as I understand it.

[20:02:10] <maZer`-> can someone help me to solve it :(
[20:02:33] <maZer`-> is my p value to high (got 100)
[20:07:53] <pcw_home> maZer%60- what type of servo? (velocity or torque mode)
[20:12:30] <kfoltman> Loetmichel: can it run linuxcnc? ;-)
[20:15:15] <Loetmichel> it could, no lpt port though

[20:18:05] <maZer`-> ahm thats a good question
[20:18:07] <maZer`-> also 0-10v
[20:18:09] <maZer`-> dc servo
[20:18:17] <maZer`-> should be velocity ? :)

[20:18:51] <pcw_home> do the drives have tachometers?
[20:19:04] <maZer`-> yes but tachometers are connected to servo controllers
[20:19:21] <pcw_home> OK so very likely velocity mode
[20:19:29] <maZer`-> yes :)
[20:19:51] <pcw_home> so for velocity mode tuning, FF1 does the heavy lifting
[20:20:48] <maZer`-> yes i tuned ff1
[20:20:56] <maZer`-> so that the f-error is minimum
[20:21:09] <maZer`-> but i have only problems on the end of a travel or the beginning
[20:21:10] <maZer`-> :(
[20:21:23] <pcw_home> did you tune FF2?
[20:21:48] <maZer`-> yes i did

[20:24:46] <Jymmm> Loetmichel: Sounds too "manual"
[20:24:51] <pcw_home> pretty hard to tell unless you physically turn the motor shaft while watcing the DRO

[23:49:58] <CaptHindsight> http://www.automationtechnologiesinc.com/products-page/digital-stepper-motor-driver/3-axis-dsp-based-digital-stepper-drive-max-60-vdc-6-0a this 3 axis version connects directly to a LPT
[23:50:26] <anarchos> oh neat i didn't even see that
[23:50:29] <CaptHindsight> but I recently bought several low cost LPT breakout boards on ebay
[23:51:01] <CaptHindsight> some are better than others, working on a wiki review page
[23:52:01] <anarchos> i was hoping to use one of those TB5056 (probably messed that up) boards from ebay but I was scared away, heh
[23:52:39] <CaptHindsight> tb6560, are noisy

[23:53:14] <CaptHindsight> people that have lost their hearing over 10Khz don't mind them
[23:53:37] <anarchos> heh, i hear a lot do erratic things at high speeds
[23:53:41] <CaptHindsight> http://www.automationtechnologiesinc.com/products-page/breakout-boards/kl-db25-breakout-board
[23:54:03] <CaptHindsight> ^^ over priced and only 12V max on the input side of the optos
[23:54:23] <CaptHindsight> they come jumpered with the same 5V on both sides of the optos :/
[23:55:17] <CaptHindsight> http://www.ebay.com/itm/310702269807 http://www.ebay.com/itm/111149514180 testing these tomorrow
[23:56:13] <CaptHindsight> the Mesa boards are nice
[23:56:32] <anarchos> http://www.automationtechnologiesinc.com/products-page/breakout-boards/ethernet-smoothstepper-motion-control-board-with-terminals-for-mach3
[23:56:39] <anarchos> that still requires drivers, right?
[23:57:23] <CaptHindsight> and doesn't work with Linuxcnc
[23:57:47] <anarchos> o :/
[23:57:47] <CaptHindsight> mesa has a new ethernet board
[23:58:16] <anarchos> i still don't have a PC with a parallel port. it would be nice to not have to get a new one.

[23:58:41] <CaptHindsight> do you have PCI or PCIe?
[23:59:22] <CaptHindsight> I found some $10 pcie LPT cards and use them with PCIe extenders
[23:59:38] <anarchos> neither, i have a little nettop computer :P
[23:59:40] <anarchos> or a laptop
