[00:01:11] <Tom_itx> what machine do you have?
[00:01:15] <zeeshan|2> lathe
[00:01:31] <zeeshan|2> i know my travel in the Z is 30"
[00:01:38] <zeeshan|2> so i think my home for Z should be 30

[00:17:24] <jdh> ok
[00:17:30] <zeeshan|2> im so confused
[00:17:40] <Tom_itx> what's the easiest way to remote into another linux box?
[00:17:46] <zeeshan|2> vnc!
[00:18:46] <Tom_itx> not vpn?
[00:18:58] <zeeshan|2> sorry i read that as windows to linux
[00:19:09] <Tom_itx> or that too
[00:19:26] <jdh> ssh
[00:19:42] <Tom_itx> is that installed by default?
[00:19:55] <Tom_itx> i just wanna be able to copy some files back and forth
[00:20:00] <jdh> scp
[00:20:23] <jdh> or rsync
[00:20:31] <jdh> both of which use ssh for transport
[00:21:14] <jdh> or nfs, or cifs
[00:21:25] <Tom_itx> from a terminal?
[00:21:40] <zeeshan|2> can you guys please confirm this
[00:21:43] <zeeshan|2> i dont wanna crash the machine hard
[00:21:44] <jdh> nfs/cifs would just make the other systems filesystem show up
[00:21:54] <zeeshan|2> my limit switch for the +Z (aka home switch)
[00:21:57] <zeeshan|2> is @ +30.
[00:22:08] <zeeshan|2> home_Search_Vel = 0.2
[00:22:15] <zeeshan|2> home_latch_vel = 0.008
[00:22:22] <zeeshan|2> what should my home offset value be?
[00:22:25] <zeeshan|2> 29?
[00:22:36] <jdh> where do you want the carriage to end up after homing
[00:22:40] <zeeshan|2> at 29
[00:22:47] <jdh> then 29
[00:22:47] <zeeshan|2> 1" away from the home s/w
[00:22:57] <Tom_itx> why 1"?
[00:23:02] <Tom_itx> that's quite a bit
[00:23:05] <zeeshan|2> lol i dont know
[00:23:09] <zeeshan|2> just for testing purposes right now
[00:23:21] <zeeshan|2> so the way i have specified thsoe values
[00:23:28] <zeeshan|2> means it'll hit the switch once. back off
[00:23:31] <zeeshan|2> then hit it again once more
[00:23:33] <zeeshan|2> and then back off to 29
[00:23:34] <zeeshan|2> right?
[00:23:50] <zeeshan|2> im just gonna try it
[00:23:52] <zeeshan|2> if it crashes it crashes :P
[00:23:56] <Tom_itx> mine goes to the switch and backs off .1 just once
[00:24:05] <zeeshan|2> yes but you have specified -0.2
[00:24:13] <zeeshan|2> i think the negative just means it'll pick up the value
[00:24:18] <zeeshan|2> on the way back to home offset
[00:24:19] <Tom_itx> i haven't looked at mine for quite some time
[00:24:31] <zeeshan|2> hehe
[00:24:40] <Tom_itx> it works so i don't bother
[00:24:51] <jdh> what is your homeoffset
[00:25:03] <Tom_itx> mine is .1
[00:25:16] -!- gonzo__nb has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[00:25:39] <Tom_itx> is there a GUI for ssh?
[00:26:15] <jdh> ssh by default is an interactive termainal session.
[00:26:27] <jdh> there is putty/kitty for windows that does ssh
[00:26:37] <Tom_itx> i use putty all the time
[00:26:54] <Tom_itx> but i also use winscp for file transfers from windows
[00:27:25] <pcw_home> the putty family also includes a scp utility
[00:27:29] <Tom_itx> do you have to set permissions for ssh?
[00:28:17] <Tom_itx> will filezilla work the same for ssh?
[00:28:31] <jdh> I smb/cifs a common filesystem on all my boxes and work from there.

[00:54:40] <zeeshan|2> it was a bad idea to test the homing
[00:54:50] <zeeshan|2> i 150ipmed into the homing switch
[00:54:51] <zeeshan|2> after it homed
[00:54:54] <zeeshan|2> no clue why hah

[00:55:43] <jdh> first, set all speeds slow, then test
[00:55:51] <zeeshan|2> i shoulda set final vel
[00:55:53] <zeeshan|2> to something slow
[00:55:57] <zeeshan|2> cause it crashed during final vel
[00:56:21] <zeeshan|2> i shoulda bought a spare limit switch damn it
[00:56:46] <zeeshan|2> i seriously dont know what went wrong
[00:58:32] <zeeshan|2> min_limit = 0 , max_limit = 28.5 , home = 28.5 , home_offset = 28.0, home_search_vel = 0.2 , home_latch_vel = 0.008, home_use_index = NO, home_ignore_limits = YES, home_sequence = 0; home_is_shared = YES

[01:01:48] <zeeshan|2> im so stupid
[01:01:52] <zeeshan|2> isntead of waiting for it to hit the switch
[01:01:55] <zeeshan|2> i shoulda just manually triggered it
[01:01:58] <zeeshan|2> to see what it does.
[01:02:22] <jdh> you run in to your switches?
[01:02:26] <zeeshan|2> yea
[01:02:35] <jdh> I wouldn't do that
[01:02:39] <zeeshan|2> why
[01:03:19] <jdh> so they don't get crushed.
[01:03:34] <zeeshan|2> what?
[01:03:37] <zeeshan|2> theyre latch type switches
[01:03:40] <zeeshan|2> they have some give
[01:03:44] <zeeshan|2> they dont have 4" of give though
[01:03:50] <zeeshan|2> which is what this homing serquence tried to do
[01:03:51] <zeeshan|2> !
[01:04:06] <zeeshan|2> im gonna re-reun the same thinng and see what happens, but instead trigger the switch manually to fool it
[01:04:10] <zeeshan|2> and see the movement it tries to make
[01:04:10] <jdh> I wouldn't mount them that way.

[01:04:48] <zeeshan|2> its a switch like that
[01:05:13] <jdh> yeah, should be mounted horizontally
[01:05:27] <jdh> that's why they have rollers
[01:05:31] <zeeshan|2> it is
[01:05:37] <jdh> then how did you crush it
[01:06:12] <zeeshan|2> oh isee what you mean now
[01:06:24] <jdh> it should be mounted as it is in the picture
[01:06:39] <zeeshan|2> too late to change it now
[01:06:40] <zeeshan|2> :P

[01:52:13] <zeeshan|2> got it to work.
[01:52:24] <zeeshan|2> i had to set home_offset to 28.25 and home to 28.00
[01:52:49] <atom1> heh
[01:52:56] <atom1> iirc my home is 0
[01:53:04] <atom1> and offset is .1
[01:53:07] <jdh> so you end up .25" left of the switch
[01:53:13] <zeeshan|2> jdh yes
[01:53:17] <zeeshan|2> isntead of .25 to the right
[01:53:18] <zeeshan|2> which means a crash
[01:53:19] <zeeshan|2> :P

[01:53:54] <zeeshan|2> "axis limit triggered"
[01:53:57] <zeeshan|2> randomly
[01:54:06] <jdh> noise?

[01:54:09] <zeeshan|2> yep
[01:54:14] <zeeshan|2> massive noise on the X-axis
[01:54:18] <zeeshan|2> and once in a while on the Y axis
[01:54:19] <zeeshan|2> not sure why
[01:54:33] <jdh> got stepper cables running parallel to the switch cables?
[01:54:37] <zeeshan|2> yes
[01:54:50] <jdh> don't do that.

[01:57:44] <pcw_home> shielding doesn't help much to prevent inductive coupling
[01:58:05] <atom1> odd, the pendant works fine with this pc but the other one it doesn't
[01:58:11] <atom1> copied all the files over...
[01:58:24] <zeeshan|2> how far should the limit switch wires be
[01:58:27] <zeeshan|2> from the stepper power
[01:58:39] <zeeshan|2> also, even when the steppers aren't moving
[01:58:40] <zeeshan|2> there is noise
[01:59:02] <zeeshan|2> i'm going to see what happens when i disable the stepper drives
[01:59:03] <zeeshan|2> if the noise goes away
[01:59:17] <jdh> where are the drivers vs. the breakout/etc wiring
[01:59:24] <pcw_home> There are always high frequency currents when stepper are on
[01:59:31] <pcw_home> steppers
[01:59:44] <zeeshan|2> okay so if the nosie goes away when i disable the drives
[01:59:49] <zeeshan|2> then for sure its inductive coupling?
[02:00:05] <zeeshan|2> jdh
[02:00:05] <pcw_home> not sure

[02:15:44] <zeeshan|2> so i shut off the VFD
[02:15:47] <zeeshan|2> the noise still there
[02:15:59] <zeeshan|2> disabled the stepper drives so the stepper motors are free to move by hand
[02:16:03] <zeeshan|2> noise still there
[02:16:17] <jdh> vfd on?
[02:16:23] <zeeshan|2> no i turned them both off
[02:16:50] <zeeshan|2> whats weird is my wires go to pin 10 and pin 13 on the BOB
[02:17:00] <zeeshan|2> and pin 13 has severe noise
[02:17:03] <zeeshan|2> while pin 10 is ok
[02:19:34] <zeeshan|2> the only thing left to try is swap the limit switch wires from pin 10 to pin 13 and vice versa
[02:19:40] <zeeshan|2> and see if the noise moves over to the other pin
[02:20:02] <pcw_home> voltage levels OK?
[02:20:10] <zeeshan|2> where at?
[02:20:21] <zeeshan|2> at the bob i see 5.00V to 0

[02:22:00] <Tom_shop> not so much :D
[02:22:02] <jdh> spindle as mpg?
[02:22:25] <Tom_shop> i copied the config files straight over from the working pc
[02:22:46] <jdh> same bitfiles?
[02:22:50] <Tom_shop> yes
[02:23:18] <Tom_shop> i think i'll re copy them just to be sure but i'm nearly positive....
[02:23:24] <pcw_home> should be easy to trace with halmeter
[02:23:48] <Tom_shop> all the other pendant buttons seem to be functioning ok
[02:24:07] <Tom_shop> i'm watching the count on the encoder
[02:24:15] <Tom_shop> i'm pretty sure encoder 0 is the pendant
[02:24:28] <Tom_shop> and the spindle increments that count
[02:24:31] <zeeshan|2> i wonder if i can run the debounce component to filter noisy digital input
[02:24:46] <jdh> you can but that isn't the right thing to do.

[02:27:07] <Tom_shop> zeeshan|2, are your wires shielded?
[02:27:20] <Tom_shop> maybe add a choke on the end of them?
[02:27:33] <zeeshan|2> Tom_shop: shielded wires run parallel to stepper wires
[02:27:40] <zeeshan|2> and the shielding thing grounds at the case
[02:27:43] <Tom_shop> :(
[02:27:59] <zeeshan|2> but iknow its not due to the steppers wires running in parallel
[02:28:03] <zeeshan|2> because i turned off the power to the steppers
[02:28:05] <zeeshan|2> and the noise is still there
[02:28:20] <Tom_shop> isolate what frequency the noise is

[02:28:41] <zeeshan|2> it seems random

[02:40:35] -!- amiri has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
[02:40:39] <ssi> elmo40: where to start is to try to establish how much servo power you need, and get some motors and drives
[02:40:42] <ssi> there's lots of ways to do it
[02:40:46] <elmo40> on average, what does a 4-axis store bought MPG go for these days?
[02:40:49] <ssi> I buy lots of stuff off ebay
[02:41:04] <ssi> um pete was showing me a pendant for about $100 which looked pretty nice
[02:41:31] <elmo40> k
[02:41:58] <elmo40> what are the thoughts on mixing stepper and servo?
[02:42:16] <ssi> it's not the end of the wordl, but it'll make your interface hardware more complex
[02:43:07] <elmo40> I guess it would. different way to send signals and such.
[02:43:20] <ssi> well what I mean is
[02:43:38] <ssi> in my opinion easiest way to do interface hardware is to buy one of the 5i25 kits
[02:43:45] <ssi> and they're very much set up for either stepper or servo
[02:43:53] <ssi> so in that case, you'd end up with two daughterboards

[02:46:41] <ssi> you'd be jogging the machine and it'd fault
[02:46:45] <zeeshan|2> yea
[02:46:45] <zeeshan|2> haha
[02:46:48] <zeeshan|2> exactly same w/ mine
[02:46:53] <zeeshan|2> its more so on pin 10 vs pin 13
[02:46:56] <zeeshan|2> i was thinking of swapping the pins
[02:47:02] <zeeshan|2> and seeing if the noise transfers over to the other pin
[02:47:09] <elmo40> ok. I'll stick with steppers for this one. I'll do servo on the lathe.
[02:47:09] <zeeshan|2> maybe its my shitty bob

[02:47:25] <zeeshan|2> btw thank you for suggesting homing
[02:47:30] <zeeshan|2> my Z axis homes within 0.0001" !
[02:47:33] <ssi> :)
[02:47:33] <zeeshan|2> using mechanical switches
[02:47:48] <zeeshan|2> you missed the action earlier
[02:47:56] <zeeshan|2> i had my home set to 28.5
[02:48:03] <zeeshan|2> and homeoffset set to 28
[02:48:14] <zeeshan|2> it destroyed my limit switch
[02:48:17] <zeeshan|2> crashed HARD into it
[02:48:22] <ssi> lul woops
[02:48:34] <pcw_home> do you have noise when the switch is open or closed?
[02:48:46] <zeeshan|2> pcw_home: switch is NC
[02:48:50] <zeeshan|2> the noise makes it go NO
[02:48:52] <zeeshan|2> er
[02:48:53] <roycroft> probably one of the least expensive crashes from which to recover
[02:48:53] <zeeshan|2> open
[02:49:04] <elmo40> as for computer requirements. ParPort is still needed?
[02:49:16] <ssi> elmo40: not if you run mesa hardware
[02:49:26] <zeeshan|2> get mesa 5i25
[02:49:27] <pcw_home> so the input has a pullup so is 5V when open?
[02:49:32] <roycroft> folks are preferring the mesa 5i25 here
[02:49:34] <elmo40> or does everything go through the pci slot?
[02:49:36] <LeelooMinai> elmo40: Mesa cards plug into PCI/PCIe slot, so not
[02:49:38] <zeeshan|2> pcw_home yes exactly
[02:49:48] <elmo40> ok :)
[02:49:56] <zeeshan|2> the noise makes it go down to 0 v
[02:50:07] <zeeshan|2> or whatever it is
[02:50:08] <ssi> zeeshan|2: could try stiffer pullups
[02:50:14] <roycroft> where are you getting the noise, seeshan|2?
[02:50:21] <zeeshan|2> roycroft: i wish i knew
[02:50:23] <roycroft> from what, rather
[02:50:37] <zeeshan|2> i really dont think its a noise issue cause vfd or steppers being off doesnt effect it
[02:50:52] <zeeshan|2> im gonna try swapping pins. brb
[02:51:12] <elmo40> any preference for PC components? AMD or Intel CPU? What about video?
[02:51:30] <ssi> elmo40: I tend to buy off-lease dell optiplex slim desktops from tigerdirect
[02:51:34] <ssi> they work well for me, minimal hassle
[02:51:41] <pcw_home> so when moving towards home (switch is closed so input is at 0V) you see high level noise?
[02:51:42] <ssi> usually around $200
[02:51:50] <zeeshan|2> ssi: the bob has 10k pullups
[02:51:56] <zeeshan|2> pcw_home: no, i'm not moving anything
[02:52:02] <zeeshan|2> im watching the pin in hal scope
[02:52:13] <zeeshan|2> and i can see the spikes when im stationary
[02:52:25] <pcw_home> and home switch is open?
[02:52:25] <zeeshan|2> they are like once every 5 seconds on pin 10
[02:52:36] <zeeshan|2> and 5x per second on pin 13
[02:52:50] <zeeshan|2> home switch is not triggered, yes
[02:53:07] <zeeshan|2> i'm sitting in random space
[02:53:17] <pcw_home> so both the input is at 0V
[02:53:27] <zeeshan|2> no they're at 5V
[02:54:26] <pcw_home> If you have NC switches they should be on if not tripped (so the signal would be 0V)
[02:54:27] -!- AR_ has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[02:55:04] <elmo40> is 1200oz/in a strong stepper? I think the last ones I used were only ~300. Does a larger stepper have higher hysteresis ? Needs more offsetting?
[02:55:17] <zeeshan|2> pcw_home: sorry you're right
[02:55:49] <zeeshan|2> i was confusing it with something else
[02:55:51] <ssi> elmo40: using an oversized stepper is likely to be slower, counterintuitively
[02:55:57] <Tom_shop> ok i copied the bit file straight from the /lib/firmware/hm2 directory this time and it still has those encoders reversed
[02:56:00] <zeeshan|2> so yes, when they're not tripped, theyre at 0V
[02:56:12] <zeeshan|2> and the noise shows up at +v spikes
[02:56:16] <pcw_home> so you have low signal with random high spikes?
[02:56:21] <zeeshan|2> yes
[02:56:29] <zeeshan|2> i wish my internet was working on it
[02:56:31] <zeeshan|2> i'd show you a pic
[02:56:46] <ssi> take a pic with your phone
[02:57:07] <zeeshan|2> good idea
[02:57:07] <zeeshan|2> brb
[02:58:04] <pcw_home> OK that makes it a bit trickier since you have a low impedance path
[02:59:12] <pcw_home> and likely inductive coupling, ground loop (or maybe even noisy switches)
[02:59:55] <ssi> pcw_home: i had similar issues with the switches on my plasma table, and I think it was largely to do with long 12' runs of twisted pair to the switches lying in cable chain alongside the stepper power lines
[03:00:06] <ssi> I used a debounce component, and that solved my issues
[03:01:16] <pcw_home> Yeah TTL levels are not the best for noisy environments (with no filtering a 100 ns 1.5V noise pulse will read as a a high level)
[03:01:23] <Tom_shop> i'm using debounce on my switches but no other signals
[03:01:43] <elmo40> ssi: I am looking for power over speed. cut steel. tap. stuff like that.
[03:01:46] <pcw_home> plus switches do bounce
[03:02:09] <Tom_shop> quite a bit
[03:02:40] <Tom_shop> pcw_home, what signal should i be looking at on this encoder?
[03:02:47] <ssi> elmo40: your best bet would be to try to calculate the actual torque requirements of the machine
[03:02:59] <ssi> remember that screws multiply torque by quite a lot
[03:04:17] <elmo40> (for now) the things I would be drilling and tapping are 1/4" and smaller.
[03:04:38] <Tom_shop> mpg-counts is definitely coming off the spindle :(
[03:04:40] <elmo40> if I need larger, I'll end up doing it manually on the drill press
[03:04:46] <pcw_home> trace the encoder count from the position pin onwards
[03:04:56] <elmo40> Tom_shop: crossed wires?
[03:05:00] <Tom_shop> no
[03:05:03] <Tom_shop> different pc
[03:05:05] <Tom_shop> same configs
[03:05:19] <ssi> elmo40: you can look up force and horsepower requirements for taps and carbide inserts
[03:05:23] <Tom_shop> one works fine and the other has the encoders reversed apparently
[03:05:30] <ssi> from force, for a given lead ballscrew you can find the torque required
[03:05:38] <ssi> just do the engineering from first principles
[03:05:52] <pcw_home> Tom_shop what hardware?
[03:05:55] <Tom_shop> just copied the bit file straight from the /lib/firmware/hm2/7i43-4 directory
[03:06:07] <Tom_shop> 7i43 7i47
[03:06:25] <Tom_shop> homebrew encoder on the spindle and an MPG on the mpg
[03:06:44] <ssi> bear in mind that all the force in the world being applied to the piece you're cutting from your steppers via your screw doesn't mean a damn thing if it's enough force to flex the machine frame
[03:06:45] <Tom_shop> this pc is running linux 8.04 though
[03:06:52] <Tom_shop> 10.04 on the other one
[03:07:15] <pcw_home> dont think the OS should matter at all
[03:07:16] <Tom_shop> 2.5.2 on this one and 2.5.0 on the one that works
[03:07:20] <Tom_shop> me either
[03:08:34] <Tom_shop> i've used this pc before on the mill and it worked but i've made hardware changes since then but copied all the files over

[03:12:35] <zeeshan|2> moved the pins
[03:12:39] <zeeshan|2> and the noise moved to the other pin
[03:12:40] <zeeshan|2> lol
[03:12:47] <Tom_shop> does adding sserial move any of the other functions to other pins?
[03:12:52] <zeeshan|2> and the other pin seems to be getting a bit more noise than usual too.
[03:13:02] <Tom_shop> i was pretty sure i had it all mapped out...
[03:13:20] <zeeshan|2> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyZcs7Wsqu4

[03:13:24] <zeeshan|2> sorry about the damn cricket in the garage
[03:18:02] <zeeshan|2> should i just debounce? :p
[03:18:07] <ssi> I did :P

[04:53:13] <PetefromTn_andro> Or maybe we could tig weld some 3/4 plate together and then machined it
[04:53:38] <PetefromTn_andro> It gets clamped thru bolts right?
[04:53:46] <Connor> yes
[04:54:49] <PetefromTn_andro> I could weld the living snot out of it and fillet the edges really deep to get a lot of penetration. Might save you some coin.
[04:55:33] <PetefromTn_andro> Or you can just buy that cast iron chunk
[04:55:42] <Connor> sounds like a lot of extra work for $10 or $20 bucks...
[04:56:12] <Connor> Would you use coolant with the cast? or machine it dry?
[04:56:13] <PetefromTn_andro> I thought it was like a hundred bucks or something
[04:56:27] <Connor> Your thinking of the 2.5" for the head spacer.
[04:56:50] <PetefromTn_andro> I thought they were both 2.5"
[04:57:05] <Connor> No. column spacer is 2" head spacer is 2.5"
[04:57:12] <PetefromTn_andro> By like 5"

[04:59:00] <Tom_shop> an old clunker but it works
[04:59:08] <Connor> the column spacer was 2" x 3.5" x 5" I think

[05:09:19] <Connor> Those look easy enough to make.
[05:09:27] <PetefromTn_andro> Sure do
[05:09:31] <PetefromTn_andro> do
[05:09:47] <PetefromTn_andro> Useful little bastard
[05:10:02] <Connor> I made one that works on the back of my vise. I hate it..
[05:10:19] <Connor> causes too much clearance issues
[05:10:35] <PetefromTn_andro> I think I might design and build one tomorrow maybe
[05:10:48] <Tom_itx> i still say use a dowel pin in a collet
[05:10:59] <PetefromTn_andro> Yes I know
[05:11:09] <PetefromTn_andro> ;)
[05:11:29] <PetefromTn_andro> I just rather not have to program a stop for everything
[05:11:43] <Tom_itx> it's not that difficult
[05:12:05] <PetefromTn_andro> Yeah it's not really but there is another issue
[05:12:38] <Connor> PetefromTn_andro: Still need to make the touch off probes too. :)
[05:12:57] <PetefromTn_andro> For instance when I machine those rails I hold like an eighth inch in the vise and then flip it over and cut the second part off.
[05:13:34] <PetefromTn_andro> The stop won't work because of the flashing that need to be removed
[05:13:58] <PetefromTn_andro> Yeah man I need to make a lot of Shit I need LOL
[05:14:12] <Connor> ROFL
[05:14:13] <Tom_itx> the stop would work just the same
[05:14:58] <PetefromTn_andro> ?
[05:15:07] <zeeshan|2> the noga mag bases w/ hydraulic arm makes a nice stop!
[05:15:13] <Tom_itx> either one wouldn't work if you had cutoff in the way
[05:15:26] <PetefromTn_andro> Sure it would
[05:15:45] <PetefromTn_andro> The stop goes underneath the cutoff parts
[05:16:01] <PetefromTn_andro> To the edge of the actual part.
[05:16:50] <PetefromTn_andro> That's what I do now only I use a parallel on top of a couple blocks under a strap clamp
[05:16:52] <Tom_itx> we used stops too but 90% of the time the dowel worked and was quicker overall
[05:17:13] <zeeshan|2> Tom_itx: what is this dowel in collet trick youre talking about
[05:17:35] <Connor> Stick a dowel in collet in the Z axis.. and have it come down and go to specific point..
[05:17:40] <PetefromTn_andro> Yeah man if I ever get a serious production job I Wil try it.
[05:17:40] <Tom_itx> using a dowel as a tool for a material locator
[05:17:42] <Tom_itx> in the vise
[05:17:55] <Tom_itx> just program it as part of the job
[05:18:03] <Connor> load part in vice.. index off of dowel.
[05:18:05] <Tom_itx> you start off with a known block size
[05:18:15] <Tom_itx> also included in the cad file
[05:18:23] <zeeshan|2> kinda like how you quickly setup a rotary table
[05:18:25] <zeeshan|2> on a mill?
[05:18:30] <Tom_itx> also helps eliminate gouging
[05:18:31] <zeeshan|2> you stick a dowel in the spindle
[05:18:38] <zeeshan|2> and quill down to the hole of the rotary table
[05:18:41] <Tom_itx> on a mill yes
[05:19:09] <Tom_itx> just have S0 set
[05:19:31] <PetefromTn_andro> I just rather like that five axis stop design
[05:19:43] <Connor> Thats kinda how I did my bearing block for my Y axis.. I had to flip it..
[05:19:47] <Tom_itx> bring it down, locate the material, raise it up so you can tighten the vise and make sure the material is flat
[05:20:20] <Connor> I drilled a through hole... and bored one size.. inserted a dowel into the machine.. flipped it.. and put the part on the dowel to align it left to right in the vise.
[05:20:23] <zeeshan|2> i guess it depends on the tolerances youre trying to hold
[05:20:32] <zeeshan|2> if you're working within a couple thou, that'll work great

[05:21:38] <Tom_itx> i think pete just wants to make a 5axis stop :D
[05:21:47] <PetefromTn_andro> Yup
[05:21:53] <Connor> Buy this:
http://www.tormach.com/store/index.php?app=ecom&ns=prodshow&ref=31801
[05:21:55] <zeeshan|2> a cool way i learned to locate parts
[05:21:58] <PetefromTn_andro> it's a cool looking design
[05:22:18] <zeeshan|2> is using spheres w/ a digitizing probe
[05:22:22] <Connor> or just cut my existing 3/4" Down and tapper it.. -- of course, it won't be ATC complaint..
[05:22:26] <Tom_itx> pete, you need some aluminum stock?
http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/local_stock/stock_index.php
[05:22:31] <Tom_itx> my local surplus...
[05:22:50] <Connor> Tom_itx: HOLy hell
[05:22:57] <Tom_itx> i was down there the other day so i decided to take a couple pics while i was there
[05:23:10] <PetefromTn_andro> Holy smokes
[05:23:33] <PetefromTn_andro> Do they have reasonable prices
[05:23:36] <Connor> What kind of pricing do they get ?
[05:23:44] <zeeshan|2> http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/local_stock/12.jpg
[05:23:45] <Tom_itx> i don't recall but it's not bad
[05:23:53] <zeeshan|2> i'd like all of those
[05:23:54] <zeeshan|2> thank u!
[05:24:07] <Connor> Where is that ?
[05:24:21] <PetefromTn_andro> Texas I think
[05:24:38] <Tom_itx> http://www.yardstore.com/?gclid=CjwKEAjwwJmhBRC56KOelNOXhxUSJAB_w2uNBXqbdILx9pGJUgFwSDq37EyOu1vaUpBzc9PkNLYaOhoC8TPw_wcB
[05:24:43] <Connor> You would think with having Alcoa near us.. We would have a damn good place to get stuff...
[05:25:00] <Tom_itx> Ks
[05:25:10] <PetefromTn_andro> Kansas
[05:25:23] <Connor> PetefromTn_andro: Yea.. I got that.. Thanks. :)
[05:25:40] <PetefromTn_andro> Sorry man heh
[05:26:06] <Connor> Doesn't look like they sell the stock online.. just tools and stuff...
[05:26:22] <Tom_itx> they moved most of their tooling etc to another building. most of that is what you see online
[05:26:58] <PetefromTn_andro> I wonder if I can make that stop body from 1xx2 stock
[05:27:09] <Tom_itx> probably
[05:27:22] <Connor> $67.12 for 3" x 5" x 8"
[05:27:29] <Connor> 6061
[05:27:38] <zeeshan|2> sounds expensive
[05:27:39] <Tom_itx> where's that?
[05:27:48] <Tom_itx> i don't pay that much for it
[05:27:58] <Connor> $21.27 for Grey Cast Iron 2.25" x 5.25" x 3"
[05:28:02] <Connor> speedymetals.com
[05:28:10] <PetefromTn_andro> It's the curve that kinda kills it.
[05:28:14] <Connor> I can get 5% off of that.. but.. then have to pay shipping
[05:28:34] <Tom_itx> i got a 6" piece of 4" round for around ten bucks iirc
[05:28:50] <Connor> yea, plate is more $$$
[05:28:50] <PetefromTn_andro> Damn that's cheap
[05:29:04] <PetefromTn_andro> No it's not really
[05:29:04] <Tom_itx> and they cut for like .75 per cut
[05:29:06] <zeeshan|2> the cheapest material to build shit out of
[05:29:08] <Connor> Tom_itx: See how much something like that would be done there..
[05:29:09] <zeeshan|2> is flatbar
[05:29:20] <zeeshan|2> i always try to by 6" wide x 1" flat bar
[05:29:25] <zeeshan|2> its like $12 per foot
[05:29:33] <zeeshan|2> *buy
[05:29:39] <Tom_itx> some of it is by the foot and other is by the pound
[05:29:42] <Connor> 3" x 5" is $8.39 per INCH
[05:29:49] <zeeshan|2> if you want a 6"x1" x 8" piece cut out of plate
[05:29:51] <zeeshan|2> it'll cost like 4x that
[05:30:06] <Connor> and I need 8" of it
[05:30:25] <zeeshan|2> do you guys have steel/aluminum mills down there connor?
[05:30:32] <zeeshan|2> or is imported stuff from different states
[05:30:42] <Connor> We have freaking ALCOA
[05:30:43] <Tom_itx> i generally just grab the closest piece i can find to the size i need
[05:31:05] <zeeshan|2> then you must have local suppliers
[05:31:11] <zeeshan|2> that are cheaper
[05:31:35] <Connor> No. They won't sell that small.
[05:31:40] <Connor> what was it.. 12' lengths ?
[05:31:55] <zeeshan|2> depends
[05:31:58] <zeeshan|2> aluminum is weird
[05:31:59] -!- asah has quit [Quit: asah]
[05:32:02] <zeeshan|2> most steel comes in 20'
[05:32:12] <zeeshan|2> but aluminum will sometimes come in random sizes
[05:32:14] <zeeshan|2> i think it was 22'
[05:32:19] <PetefromTn_andro> They will sell small pieces but only if they already have it in stock
[05:32:19] <zeeshan|2> or 24'
[05:32:54] <zeeshan|2> like locally we have a placed called "B&D steel"
[05:33:03] <zeeshan|2> and theres no minimum order, and they still give you wholesale prices
[05:33:12] <zeeshan|2> they just rape you on cuts, you need a lotta cuts
[05:33:22] <Connor> 7.875" x 2.5" x 4.725" is the nominal measurements I need for the head spacer.
[05:33:22] <zeeshan|2> *if
[05:33:35] <zeeshan|2> what material does it need to be?
[05:33:41] <Connor> 6061
[05:34:10] <Connor> 2" x 4.75" x 2.875" is the nominal need for the column spacer.. out of cast.
[05:34:50] <zeeshan|2> 2"x3" flat bar
[05:35:00] <zeeshan|2> and 2.5" x 5" flat bar for aluminum
[05:35:36] <Connor> the 2.5" is the messurement that needs to be faced off and is most critical.. so.. I was going to go with 3"..
[05:36:16] <zeeshan|2> 2.5"x5"x 8" flatbar costs
[05:36:20] <zeeshan|2> $48 locally
[05:36:38] <Connor> is that CAD or US ? :)
[05:36:42] <zeeshan|2> CAD
[05:36:44] <zeeshan|2> so like 40 bux us
[05:36:51] <zeeshan|2> usually aluminum i've noticed
[05:36:54] <zeeshan|2> comes + size
[05:37:02] <zeeshan|2> so 2.5" is really 2.510~
[05:37:09] <zeeshan|2> but you'll need to measure it
[05:37:12] <zeeshan|2> to be 100%
[05:37:25] <zeeshan|2> steel locally on the other hand is undersize usually (cold rolled)
[05:37:33] <zeeshan|2> 2.5 will be 2.495~
[05:37:36] <Connor> shipping from CAD would kill the price though.
[05:37:59] <zeeshan|2> honestly, i'd hunt for local suppliers :P i dont know your area
[05:38:08] <zeeshan|2> usually the small guys are the best to go to
[05:38:32] <zeeshan|2> i took me weeks to find a couple
[05:38:44] <zeeshan|2> some suppliers out right go "minimum order xxx"
[05:39:00] <zeeshan|2> some quote you a ridiculus amount if you dont need an entire length
[05:43:27] <PetefromTn_andro> I have been experiencing a weird minor problem with my linuxcnc setup lately
[05:44:00] <PetefromTn_andro> I was wondering if anyone has experienced similar issue
[05:44:47] <PetefromTn_andro> Basically I work between MPG and continuous jog.
[05:45:20] <PetefromTn_andro> And most of the time when I switched between the two it just works.
[05:46:26] <PetefromTn_andro> Occasionally when I switch from MPG to coninuous I have to hit the manual onscreen button for the jog to work
[05:47:09] <PetefromTn_andro> If I just hit the arrow keys for manual jog it does nothing
[05:47:51] <PetefromTn_andro> Then I move the mouse to the drop down in axis for continuous or incremental it works again
[05:48:13] <PetefromTn_andro> Kinda annoying
[05:48:58] <Connor> That is a bit odd
[05:49:49] <PetefromTn_andro> I am not sure why it does that. Could it have something to do with our glade vcp panel?
[05:50:00] <Connor> maybe.. Not sure
[05:50:39] <PetefromTn_andro> It probably only does it like maybe ten percent of the time
[05:52:22] <Connor> yea, that's the odd part.
[05:53:33] <PetefromTn_andro> I use the keyboard to switch back and forth all the time. Pressing I and shift I to toggle
[05:53:59] <PetefromTn_andro> And C to go back to continuous
[05:54:21] <Connor> I think I've noticed caps lock causing issues..
[05:54:36] <Connor> I'll have to instigate that more.
[05:55:21] <PetefromTn_andro> Yeah caps lock does cause issues but the command does not work at all that way I think this is different it works SOMETIMES
[05:55:52] <Connor> Yes.. just tested it.. with CAPS on C does go to continues.
[05:56:05] <Connor> err Continuous
[05:56:19] <PetefromTn_andro> Really I thought it was the other way
[05:56:30] <Connor> DOESN'T
[05:56:32] <Connor> sorry
[05:56:34] <PetefromTn_andro> Don't honestly remember
[05:56:44] <Connor> just tested in the Simulator
[05:57:28] <PetefromTn_andro> Try pressing the continuous drop down menu with caps lock on and see if it goes to continuous
[05:58:03] <Connor> Caps lock has no effect on the drop down with the mouse.
[05:58:14] <Connor> with CAPS on.. "C" doesn't work.
[05:58:21] <PetefromTn_andro> Yeah but does it switch
[05:58:21] <Connor> but I and shift-I Do.
[05:58:40] <PetefromTn_andro> Yeah that's what I thought
[05:59:14] <Connor> Working as expected.
[05:59:21] <Connor> Will have to see it in action.
[05:59:53] <Connor> I think I'm going to head off to bed.
[06:00:08] <PetefromTn_andro> Like I said sometimes I will be constantly switching back and forth for manual milling operations and the c button switches the drop down display to continuous but there are no axis movements in continuous with the arrow buttons until I mouse click the drop down meny
[06:00:32] <PetefromTn_andro> Menu
[06:00:39] <PetefromTn_andro> Okay night man
[06:00:43] <Connor> later.

[11:22:16] <miss0r> I am on the search for a peice of vinyl: soft and flexible vinyl, aprox 1mm thick, to make a curtain for my CNC dust vacume setup. I realy don't want to spend a fortune buying a whole roll or what ever form it comes in. Do you guys have any suggestions/ideas where I can get my hands on a peice no larger than an A4 ?
[11:24:27] <SpeedEvil> transparent?
[11:24:42] <miss0r> preferably
[11:25:54] * SpeedEvil lols at the amount of results on ebay for 'transparent vinyl' 'restraints'.
[11:26:48] <miss0r> indeed. I have browsed through that a bit, but it seems all the 'smaller peices' are for laminating ect. and are very thin
[11:28:05] <SpeedEvil> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Blue-3D-Diamond-Pattern-PEVA-Transparent-Soft-Bathroom-Bath-Shower-Curtain-/400506679453?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Curtains_Blinds_Curtains_EH&hash=item5d400ef09d
[11:29:04] <miss0r> shower curtains are not a bad idea actualy. They have some sort of thickness and perhaps I can find them in a complete transparrent version

[16:51:40] <zeeshan|2> nm i just saw the second pic
[16:51:47] <archivist> it is an involute gear
[16:52:00] <zeeshan|2> are all splines like that?
[16:52:04] <zeeshan|2> an involute gear
[16:52:09] <archivist> there are involute splines too I know
[16:52:27] <zeeshan|2> so when the hobb spins
[16:52:32] <zeeshan|2> it causes the work piece to spin with it?
[16:52:37] <archivist> a spline is shorter than a gear tooth
[16:52:40] <zeeshan|2> or do you sync the work piece with the hob?
[16:53:10] <zeeshan|2> cause those splines look almost very similar to what i need for a steering shaft
[16:53:14] <zeeshan|2> and look nice!
[16:53:26] <archivist> the sync is in linuxcnc

[16:55:58] <archivist> it is possible, just add a rotary and the magic in hal
[16:56:08] <zeeshan|2> well
[16:56:11] <zeeshan|2> im more worried about the stresses
[16:56:29] <zeeshan|2> cause gear hobbing seems to loook like it a lotta forces
[16:56:32] <tjtr33> horizontals often are stiffer
[16:56:34] <zeeshan|2> *needs
[16:57:18] <archivist> you new mill should eat that job

[16:57:38] <zeeshan|2> it looks fairly stable
[16:57:40] <zeeshan|2> to do hobbing on
[16:57:44] <zeeshan|2> but i wont find out till i get it
[16:58:00] <archivist> you can manually set the lead angle on your head on that mill
[17:00:20] <archivist> I done recommend the way I have seen not far from me, uses a horizontal and sets the rotary at la but traverses at right angles, this means he travels along the hob and has limits
[17:00:25] <archivist> dont
[17:03:15] <tjtr33> nice mill, yeah head tilts
[17:04:40] <archivist> zeeshan|2, then you will tilt the head like this one
