[00:00:21] <PetefromTn_> The reason I am asking is that I have yet to conquer the Z axis issue I have

[00:01:55] <PetefromTn_> If I keep it around half the X and Y it works fine. This is actually plenty fast but I would like to know that it is working correctly and that max rapid is available in the future.
[00:02:38] <PetefromTn_> It is curious that is faults on the way down and not the way up. I can set the Z mad rapid for 700 plus and rapiding UP the column it just rips right up there but when I try to go down it faults.
[00:03:09] <PetefromTn_> Curiously enough it is not when it STOPS that it faults rather it is mid travel.
[00:03:40] <PetefromTn_> My friend Art seems to feel that it is a tuning issue but I am not good at tuning so I have no earthly idea how to remedy it.

[01:14:47] <tjtr33> a vfd puts out 3 phases of variable amplitude. It can have single phase input.
[01:14:48] <tjtr33> can it be used to replace a 3 phase transformer? maybe drive a 3 phase transformer?

[01:18:37] <tjtr33> vfd cheap, clean & small too. 5hp motor maybe more $ than vfd
[01:18:46] <jdh> yeah and louder
[01:19:05] <tjtr33> but i love the idea of a pull start edm machine :)
[01:19:32] <zeeshan> variable voltage and frequency
[01:19:38] <tjtr33> yeah!
[01:19:38] <zeeshan> :D
[01:20:09] <zeeshan> you can find older 240v 3 phase motors for relatively cheap
[01:20:52] <jdh> A phase converting VFD must never be used to power a wire EDM because it contains electronics, thus capacitive loads. The PWM voltage of a VFD will damage these
[01:21:24] <zeeshan> did i misread something
[01:21:31] <zeeshan> i thought he was trying to drive a 5 hp motor
[01:21:44] <jdh> I assumed the 5hp fwas for teh RPC
[01:21:48] <zeeshan> OH
[01:21:54] * zeeshan needs glasses
[01:22:18] <tjtr33> ? the vfd would drives a traf, the 2ndry is isolated, what does it know about the load? wether its a stereo or canopener or edm?
[01:22:50] <tjtr33> and not wedm anyway

[06:50:01] <MrSunshine> zeeshan, center or sharper tools ... looks like you use carbide .. carbide requires alot more force than hss tools to cut .. on small pieces like that atleast i would guess it will rub ALOT
[06:50:23] <MrSunshine> a nice sharp hss tool i think would improve the situation =)
[06:51:10] <zeeshan> i increased the depth of cut
[06:51:16] <zeeshan> and really increased the speed
[06:51:20] <zeeshan> and the chatter went away
[06:51:21] <zeeshan> http://i.imgur.com/JwTfKUx.jpg
[06:51:30] <zeeshan> thats what i was making

[06:53:03] <Deejay> moin
[06:53:18] <MrSunshine> so you introduced more force .. and carbide if im not mistaking wants alot of speed =)
[06:53:53] <MrSunshine> thing int he movie it looks like a real shallow depth ... and with the radius inserted tools has on the inserts that would result in alot of rubbing if you do not overcome that radius on the toolbit
[06:54:13] <zeeshan> so your esaying
[06:54:17] <MrSunshine> if you have a 0.02mm radius the aboslute minimum depth of cut would be 0.02 i guess ... =)
[06:54:18] <zeeshan> i should use a smaller nose radius
[06:54:30] <zeeshan> that does make sense
[06:54:51] <zeeshan> wow that actually makes a lotta snse
[06:54:57] <zeeshan> the nose radius was 0.016"
[06:55:09] <zeeshan> and if i take less than 0.016" cuts, it rubs
[06:55:17] <zeeshan> if i take 0.030 or larger, it likes it
[06:55:51] -!- i_tarzan has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
[06:56:00] <MrSunshine> thats why hss usaly can take those fine cuts .. ofc ground carbide tools can also but =)
[06:56:10] <MrSunshine> they usaly dont have those corner radiuses like that
[06:56:45] <zeeshan> i mostly have vnmg 331 and 332
[06:56:58] <zeeshan> 33x , where x = 1 = 0.016" radius
[06:57:03] <zeeshan> 2 = double that
[06:57:15] <zeeshan> i should try vnmg330.5
[06:57:20] <zeeshan> its got a nose radius of 0.008
[06:57:22] <MrSunshine> http://www.cnccookbook.com/CCCNCMillFeedsSpeedsBasics2.htm it talks about mills but essentialy the same problem .. and some illustrations =)

[06:58:20] <zeeshan> http://www.cnccookbook.com/img/CNCCookbook/CutEdgeRadius1.jpg
[06:58:25] <zeeshan> that image is what youre talking about
[06:58:44] <MrSunshine> yeap =)
[06:59:43] <MrSunshine> and with a radius on the end you can understand why the tool needs alot of force to hold it in the material? so small pieces will bend and flex easily under those forces =)
[07:00:56] <archivist> and a small radius will wear faster, hobsons choice
[07:02:17] <zeeshan> yea but i guess it's needed for what i was making
[07:02:20] <zeeshan> dinky little parts :()
[07:02:58] <archivist> huge parts
[07:04:07] <zeeshan> huge in comparison to clock parts!
[07:05:03] <archivist> to watch parts :), or even Ford speedo gears
[07:05:24] <MrSunshine> archivist, true that =)

[12:35:30] <Jymmm> jdh: What do you mean the 5000gal proane tank can't be stored near the blast furnacne?!
[12:35:31] <jdh> we would have to turn on our red safety light, the bandaid would be first-aid so it would be an OSHA recordable safety event and our I&I rate would go up

[12:41:52] <jdh> spring steel
[12:42:18] <jdh> unless you mean a pole spear then they are usually fiberglass

[12:44:06] <jdh> never had any, but I have seen poles with splintering glass
[12:44:31] <Jymmm> Yeah, just the thought of that creeps me out
[12:44:54] <jdh> I have 5 or so pole spears, one of which is aluminum (foldspear.com)
[12:45:16] <Jymmm> hollow?
[12:45:54] <jdh> it's hollow with bungie in the middle. snaps together like a tent pole

[16:43:56] <JT-Shop> I'm prepping the outside for siding so I had to take the Air Conditioner out of the wall while I wrapped the opening and framed it out with trim
[16:44:05] <jdh> snow there yet?

[16:45:03] <zeeshan> i can get measurements when im home tonight
[16:47:11] <roycroft> grizzly list the dimensions of their 12x36 as 67" wide x 29-1/2" deep
[16:47:26] <roycroft> and recommend 30" clearance behind the lathe for maintenance access
[16:47:30] <roycroft> if that helps
[16:47:43] <zeeshan> lies
[16:47:51] <zeeshan> jk
[16:48:02] <zeeshan> i used to have my lathe right against the wall in the back
[16:48:08] <zeeshan> i could never open the factory electrical panel :P
[16:48:13] <roycroft> as far as maintenance clearence, that depends on the operator
[16:48:22] <roycroft> if you're young and svelt, maybe 24" is enough
[16:48:27] <roycroft> if you're old and fat you might need 48"
[16:48:36] <zeeshan> or you can just move the lathe
[16:48:38] <zeeshan> when you wanna do maintenance
[16:48:42] <zeeshan> and relevel :P

[16:51:03] <roycroft> i'm seriously thinking of getting a 12x36 soon
[16:51:15] <roycroft> i just have a 7x145 mini-lathe now
[16:51:22] <roycroft> 7x14
[16:51:25] <zeeshan> do you have a mill
[16:51:27] <roycroft> and it's annoying to use
[16:51:34] <roycroft> i have a mill-drill
[16:51:38] <Connor> 10x22 would probably be more than enough for me..
[16:51:51] <zeeshan> 12x36 is kind of small for me
[16:52:14] <jdh> 10x is much less mass than 12x
[16:52:17] <roycroft> the cost difference between a 10x22 and a 12x36 isn't really that great
[16:52:18] <jdh> (for chinese machines)
[16:52:21] <roycroft> and the 12x36 has a lot more mass
[16:52:44] <jdh> and ballnut clearance
[16:53:03] <Connor> My issue wouldn't be cost.. it would be space.
[16:53:17] <roycroft> yes, space is definitely an issue
[16:53:28] <roycroft> in my mind, 12x36 is an ideal size
[16:53:32] <Connor> only so much you can squeeze into a 11'x7' room
[16:53:49] <roycroft> enough mass, but moderately small size
[16:54:02] <zeeshan> i wish i could afford the clasuing colchester 21"x60"
[16:54:03] <zeeshan> =/
[16:54:08] <rythmnbls> the grizzly 12x36 needs 220v , so power can be an issue

[16:54:53] <Connor> http://www.ivdc.com/cnc/mill_02_26_14_02.JPG
[16:55:15] <Connor> the lathe would have to be ontop of that workbeench.
[16:55:15] <lair82> Hello Guys, PCW you listening?
[16:55:19] <roycroft> in my garage shop i have 2 20a 220vac receptacles, and a 50a 220vac receptacle for my brew system
[16:55:27] <rythmnbls> for me it would mean running a 100' extension :)
[16:55:35] <zeeshan> run it off solar power
[16:55:42] <roycroft> now my welding shop has no hard-wired power
[16:55:46] <Connor> I have a single 20amp 120 into my shop.. I need to get a 220v line hooked up.
[16:55:59] <roycroft> so i have to run a 100' extension cord out there for welding
[16:56:00] <zeeshan> connor
[16:56:02] <zeeshan> i like your bench
[16:56:05] <zeeshan> is that stainless steel?
[16:56:06] <roycroft> the extension cord is 6ga
[16:56:15] <roycroft> and it's pretty damn heavy
[16:56:30] <Connor> zeeshan: Yes. It's 7' x 40" I think.. ELEVATOR DOOR. :)
[16:56:32] <roycroft> i store it on a roll-around hose reel
[16:56:37] <zeeshan> nice dude
[16:56:57] <Connor> ontop of a I beam rack that used to hold 500lbs bombs for the USAF
[16:57:04] <zeeshan> haha
[16:57:11] <Connor> I got it from my dad.
[16:57:17] <zeeshan> that musta been fun to move
[16:57:43] <Connor> The door is hinged so it can tip up.. and it's on wheels.. so it can go through a standard 36" door
[16:58:28] <Connor> but, since only 2 of the wheels are swivel wheels.. I had to use a floor jack to raise it up and slide it into the current position.
[17:00:27] <Loetmichel> haha, my coworker just gifted me 3 t-shirts. written on them three exclamations i seem to make SO often that he could remember them for printing on thshirts well enough that he didnt take a checklist with him ;-) ( "augenmaß lässt grüßen" , "das hat der Newton da festgenagelt" and "erst sortieren, dann reden!") ... it seems i should up my vocabulary/proverb-storage a bit ;-)
[17:01:16] <Connor> Loetmichel: and those translate into English as ?
[17:03:01] <Loetmichel> Connor: being proverbs its not so easy to translate them. "augenmaß lässt grüßen" -> "measure it, dont use your eye to gauge it!" ( usually when i got the wrong size screwdriver/screw/ nut/ wrench/whatever)
[17:03:42] <Loetmichel> "das hat der newton da festgenagelt" -> "newton did nal that down there" (when something is to heavy to move)
[17:04:02] <Connor> nal = nail
[17:05:07] <Connor> You should see what Google translate does to them..
[17:05:15] <Loetmichel> "Erst sortieren, dann reden" -> "think first, talk later" ... when i AGAIN forgot the start of my sentence when reaching the end. ;-)
[17:05:20] <Connor> the last translates too.. sort first, then talk !
[17:05:54] <Loetmichel> yeah, thats about the meaning of it. Sort you thoghts, then expel them, not the other way around ;-)
[17:06:48] <Connor> We say.. put your brain in gear before putting your mouth in motion. :)
[17:08:50] <roycroft> i don't know any of those proverbs
[17:10:21] <roycroft> my favorite german proverb is "gutes bier and schöne weiber sind die beste zeitvertreiber"
[17:11:40] <roycroft> (good beer and beautiful women are the best way to pass the time)
[17:11:57] <roycroft> it doesn't roll off the tongue so well in english
[17:13:19] <Connor> Measure Twice, Cut Once.
[17:13:25] <zeeshan> no
[17:13:30] <zeeshan> cut twice measure once
[17:13:56] <Connor> Measure Twice, Cut Once, take a spring pass 2nd. :)
[17:14:02] <zeeshan> haha
[17:14:09] <Loetmichel> zeeshan: "mist, drei mal abgeschnitten, IMMER noch zu kurz!" (Shit, cut three times, STILL to short!" ;-)
[17:14:17] <Loetmichel> +it

[19:17:35] <zeeshan> it passed
[19:18:10] <zeeshan> my only complaint is it's not a 0 backlash screw
[19:18:16] <zeeshan> its got at least 3 thou in it
[19:18:42] <zeeshan> my Z has .0045 comp
[19:18:45] <jdh> get some balls
[19:18:46] <zeeshan> and x has 0.0025
[19:19:08] <zeeshan> how many oversize balls would i need though?
[19:19:52] <jdh> I think the 20's have 3x17
[19:20:01] <zeeshan> yea
[19:20:06] <zeeshan> but not all of them have to be oversize do they?
[19:20:10] <zeeshan> i thought it was like 3-4 of em
[19:20:17] <zeeshan> or 1 oversize ball per circuit
[19:20:26] <Connor> No. You want more than that..
[19:20:31] <Connor> at least half of them.
[19:20:32] <jdh> 1 wouldn't always be in the screw
[19:20:37] <zeeshan> good point
[19:20:41] <jdh> I'd get enough for all of them
[19:21:04] <jdh> but for $280 shipped, I wouldn't complain.
[19:21:07] <Connor> You can do 1 big for every other one.. or every two... but.. that's the least I would go

[19:45:50] <zeeshan> hey dude
[19:45:55] <zeeshan> so in between those 2 nuts
[19:45:59] <zeeshan> is some sort of washer?
[19:46:18] <Connor> No.. it's a half moon shape.. that's been ground..
[19:46:35] <Connor> and fits between the nuts.. to provide the preload..
[19:46:47] <Connor> which is why I say, you may have to have them on a screw.
[19:46:56] <Connor> because.. they'll have to be "fitted" to yours.
[19:47:07] <kfoltman> backlash cancelling nuts?
[19:47:29] <Connor> kfoltman: Double nut with pre-set preload.
[19:47:42] <kfoltman> isn't that a bit overkill?
[19:48:00] <Connor> No. You get down to .0005" lash. or less.
[19:48:19] <Connor> I'll have more lash out of the flexing of the column than out of the screws. :)
[19:48:41] <kfoltman> that's what I wanted to say - 0.0005" lash as long as the rest of your setup doesn't flex at all

[19:49:02] <zeeshan> hoepfully they work w/ my screws
[19:49:04] <kfoltman> in practice, the backlash from the screw might be a tiny part of the overall backlash
[19:49:04] <Connor> Yea.. but, that''s why you do finish passes.
[19:49:21] <zeeshan> kfoltman: depends

[19:49:30] <zeeshan> thanks connor
[19:50:52] <zeeshan> kfoltman: what do you think is a major contributing factor to backlash?
[19:52:34] <kfoltman> zeeshan: in my case, it's probably a super-stupid construction of the Z axis; in general case - depends, might be the materials that the gantry is made of, or worn-out/bad grade rails...

[19:53:06] <kfoltman> spindle mount
[19:53:07] <zeeshan> i think you're confusing backlash with deflection
[19:53:38] <zeeshan> or maybe even stiction
[19:53:48] <kfoltman> deflection is temporary, backlash is permanent until you change direction, right?
[19:53:56] <zeeshan> yes
[19:54:16] <zeeshan> theres really 2 major sources of backlash
[19:54:22] <kfoltman> so, for example, a loose spindle mount can easily cause a tiny bit of backlash if the spindle moves a tiny bit if pushed in a given direction and stays there
[19:54:23] <zeeshan> your fixed support isn't really fixed
[19:54:34] <zeeshan> and the clearance between the balls in the ballnut and ball screw
[19:54:51] <zeeshan> kfoltman: yes tha tmakes sense

[21:26:31] <Jymmm> secondary, why?
[21:26:42] <Connor> Who knows.
[21:27:12] <Jymmm> Defeats thw whole purpose of having tool changing g-code codmands
[21:27:32] <Connor> I'm working on a automated coolant nozzle.. it'll have something like a arduino to control it.. but.. will be connected via ModBus.
[21:27:32] <Jymmm> reinventing the wheel to me
[21:27:52] <Jymmm> automated, like moving into position?
[21:27:56] <Connor> Yes.
[21:28:15] <Jymmm> why go a HW route instead of a SW one?
[21:28:18] <Connor> and will know what tool is in use based on the T# M6 command
[21:28:51] <Connor> Well.. no "good" software solution to drive a hobby style servo.. for one..
[21:29:05] <Connor> for two.. I won't it to keep track of presets that you program into it..
[21:29:32] <Connor> you load a new tool.. you adjust a dial to set the coolant height to point at the tool location you want.. and you press a "store" button.
[21:30:00] <Connor> then.. everytime that tool is used.. the system will move the nozzle to that position.. or do a sweep if you've set that up..

[21:31:27] <Jymmm> You know whats best for you of course.
[21:31:40] <Connor> Jymmm: By that reasoning.. CNC is complicated and would be better off with Manual Lathes and Mills.
[21:32:20] <Connor> Really.. all we're talking about is a single hobby grade servo adjusting a nozzle up and down.. and storing that position based on the current tool number loaded..
[21:32:34] <Jymmm> No, That's not what I'm saying. What you described sounds like (in essense) spaghetti code. It will be hard to maintain.

[21:34:36] <Jymmm> It's not WHAT you are doing, it's HOW you plan on accomplishing the task

[21:35:47] <Jymmm> That's fine, gcode routines are cool
[21:36:31] <Connor> Well.. part of the function will be a sweeping feature.. that moves the nozzle up and down during normal machining process.. not too sure how you could do that using g-code and such...
[21:36:42] <Jymmm> first you talked about stepper tool changer, and now automated coolant nozzle. maybe things overlapped in outr conversaiton
[21:36:55] <Connor> Yes. We're talking about 2 things now.

[21:44:08] <Connor> but.. would want 2 positions..
[21:44:14] <Connor> a top and bottom

[21:44:44] <Jymmm> two extra columns?

[21:45:05] <Connor> yea.

[21:47:35] <Connor> Would still need something the general servo grade PWM though..
[21:48:03] <Connor> because, PCW said not really good enough resolution on the mesa stuff for those..
[21:48:03] <Jymmm> pulse gen you mean?
[21:48:38] <Jymmm> it's not precion though, just sweep, so not significant I think
[21:49:09] <Jymmm> But nfc there =)
[21:49:38] <Jymmm> who cares of a stepper stalls, it'll just start up again.
[21:50:01] <Jymmm> you're not painting a monalisa with it =)
[21:50:20] <Connor> No. PWM for Hobby servo's.. not pulse gen.. no stepper involved.
[21:50:34] <Jymmm> RC servos?
[21:50:56] <Connor> Yes.
[21:51:36] <Jymmm> I bet if you look that are passive HW that could do that for you.
[21:51:45] <Jymmm> no programming needed =)
[21:52:18] <Connor> I'm sure.. I was just wanting it to be a little smart about knowing how far to sweep for which tool..
[21:53:59] <Connor> First things first.. I have to build the nozzle and casing.. and hook it up to a servo. :)
[21:55:13] <Jymmm> lol, better you than me =)

[22:59:24] <roycroft> it's amazing how resouceful one is when one is mostly unemployed, needs a plotter, and is looking at $150 for a used one vs. $2k+ for a new one

[23:03:28] <andypugh> $150 seems quite a lot, I am sure I paid less for mine.
[23:03:49] <andypugh> Yours may be bigger and/or better.
