[00:01:09] <XXCoder> try soak in wd40?
[00:01:53] <XXCoder> lightly hit with hammer once a while hopefully vibration will help wd40 go even deeper in
[00:02:04] <XXCoder> im sure theres better solitions
[00:02:06] <XXCoder> solutions
[00:02:12] <shaun414> vinegar?
[00:02:48] <XXCoder> oh sorry it was to cradek shaun

[00:03:48] -!- mk0 has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[00:04:33] <handmill> Is there any special requirements for using a MESA card?
[00:05:14] <Tom_itx> parport, pci or ethernet
[00:05:58] <handmill> I didn't get one yet, and would like to know which one is better.
[00:06:08] <Tom_itx> for what?
[00:06:25] -!- tchaddad_ has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[00:06:30] <Tom_itx> the 5i25 seems a popular choice
[00:06:36] <handmill> To control 5 AC servo motors.
[00:07:25] <handmill> I'll start with XYZ, but I'd like to be able to expand...
[00:07:31] <Tom_itx> pcw_home might be able to recomend a daughter card...
[00:08:14] <handmill> The daughter card is an expantion card?
[00:08:41] <handmill> expansion*
[00:08:44] -!- shaun414 has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]
[00:09:04] <Tom_itx> purpose made for various things
[00:09:11] <Tom_itx> ie servo or stepper systems
[00:10:44] <pcw_home> The appropriate daughtercard depends on the available drive interface
[00:11:31] <handmill> What is better, Parallel, PCI or Ethernet?
[00:11:51] -!- maximilian_h1 [maximilian_h1!~bonsai@ipservice-092-217-026-020.092.217.pools.vodafone-ip.de] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:11:59] <Tom_itx> ethernet is still being tested i think
[00:12:17] -!- maximilian_h has quit [Ping timeout: 265 seconds]
[00:12:46] <pcw_home> support of Ethernet connected Mesa cards is only available with LinuxCNC 2.7
[00:12:56] <pcw_home> (or later)
[00:13:16] <pcw_home> the PCI/PCIE cards are most common now
[00:13:48] <handmill> What are the differences between the 3 interface types?
[00:14:15] <Tom_itx> just that..
[00:14:59] <Tom_itx> parport was probably available first then pci/pcie
[00:15:08] -!- Nick001-shop has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds]
[00:15:26] -!- patrickarlt has quit [Quit: Leaving...]
[00:15:31] <handmill> Which interface will have the best performance?
[00:15:50] <Tom_itx> probably all about the same
[00:16:01] <Tom_itx> the tasks are offloaded to the mesa card
[00:16:22] <pcw_home> Parallel connect to a PC parallel port (so you need a parallel port preferably a motherboard port)
[00:16:23] <pcw_home> PCI needs a PCI slot in the machine, PCIE needs a PCIE
[00:16:25] <pcw_home> Ethernet needs a dedicated Ethernet connection
[00:16:27] <LeelooMinai> Hmm, isn't 2.6.5 the latest?
[00:16:44] <LeelooMinai> Or is 2.7 some beta stage (?)
[00:17:10] <Tom_itx> i don't think it's that far along yet
[00:17:20] <Tom_itx> could be mistaken...
[00:17:25] <pcw_home> There are performance differences:
[00:17:26] <pcw_home> PCI/PCIE are the fastest
[00:17:28] <pcw_home> Ethernet is mid way
[00:17:29] <pcw_home> Parallel is the slowest
[00:17:47] <pcw_home> But for a normal 1 KHz servo thread all are fine performance wise
[00:18:29] <LeelooMinai> pcw_home: What is that about linuxCNC 2.7?
[00:18:36] <pcw_home> The only case where higher performance is important is whwre you need a high servo thread rate
[00:18:48] <handmill> So using MESA card the card get the code line by line, or does the card gets everything from the computer and than manage the milling by itself?
[00:18:51] <pcw_home> (like with torque mode drives)
[00:19:28] <pcw_home> All trajectory planning is handled by linuxcnc (in real time)
[00:19:35] <Tom_itx> on the pc
[00:20:26] <handmill> So I should use the fastest interface for best performance?
[00:20:43] <Tom_itx> if you think you'll need it
[00:20:52] <Tom_itx> i'd personally go with pci or pcie now
[00:21:00] <Tom_itx> it wasn't quite available when i did mine
[00:21:29] <handmill> So you used parallel?
[00:21:38] <Tom_itx> yep
[00:21:52] <Tom_itx> 7i43 with a 7i47
[00:22:04] <Tom_itx> i'm using steppers though
[00:23:16] <pcw_home> performance will not be affected by the low level interface performance, _unless_ you
[00:23:17] <pcw_home> need a faster than normal servo thread. Typically for velocity mode servos, theres not a big advantage
[00:23:19] <pcw_home> in running faster than 1 KHz though , in which case all interfaces behave the same
[00:23:23] <Tom_itx> mesa is definitely the way to go though at any interface level
[00:24:26] <handmill> So which PCI/PCIe is recomended to support 5 AC servo motors, limit switches, touch probe, tool length, etc..?
[00:25:03] <Tom_itx> what drivers do you have for the servos?
[00:25:56] <handmill> Which ones should I get?
[00:27:07] -!- gennro [gennro!~gennro@ip68-224-129-2.lv.lv.cox.net] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:28:00] <handmill> The motors need to be atleast 1.5 n/m and the Z axis should be atleast 4 n/m..
[00:28:45] <pcw_home> LeelooMinai: 2.7 is the next linuxcnc release candidate (master has moved on to 2.8 now)
[00:29:10] <pcw_home> I think 2.7 is fairly close to release
[00:29:24] <pcw_home> (but thats just a guess)
[00:29:35] <LeelooMinai> I see. When it's released will it be updateable from Debian ISO?
[00:30:23] <pcw_home> normally you update by getting the latest package (no need to re-install)
[00:32:18] -!- Thetawaves has quit [Quit: This computer has gone to sleep]
[00:33:44] <pcw_home> The latest ISO was remade recently because there was a kernel update that fixed a serious USB bug in Baytrail based motherboards
[00:35:55] <pcw_home> That is, the old kernel had a bug with USB on Baytrail MBs

[00:37:42] -!- rob_h has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[00:41:57] <andypugh> handmill: See what drives you can find, then if they take +/- 10V input use 5i25 / 7i77 and if they take step / dir then use 5i25 / 7i76.
[00:43:06] <Tom_itx> sounds like he doesn't have the servos yet either
[00:43:09] <handmill> Which driver would you get (any recomended store?)
[00:43:10] <andypugh> Unless you need something unusual, like Resolvers, in which case you need one of the 50-pin Mesa cards rather than the 25=pin D-sub stylke.
[00:43:28] <andypugh> Do you have the motors?
[00:44:07] <handmill> No, I'm just starting off with a manual milling machine that I'd like to convert to CNC.

[00:58:04] <andypugh> In that case, scour eBay for likely motors and drivers, then choose the interface hardware to suit later.
[00:58:15] -!- sumpfralle [sumpfralle!~lars@erina.opennet-initiative.de] has joined #linuxcnc
[01:00:35] <andypugh> (I found three motors on eBay for £50 which were such a bargain that I ended up spending £1000 on a machine to suit them, and months writing drivers for brushless motor drives and Mesa resolver cards. The good news is that that is now done, and brushless motors and/or resolvers are no longer a problem)

[01:11:38] <handmill> G0704
[01:12:31] <handmill> andypugh: ^
[01:12:50] <andypugh> A common and popular conversion.
[01:14:03] <handmill> Do you know of someone that did this conversion and used AC servos?
[01:15:41] <andypugh> I haven’t paid much attention. I converted something similar with no reference to anyone, and then decided to have nothing more to do with Chinese iron.
[01:16:29] <jdh> some one here has a servo version. different label on mill though
[01:16:30] <andypugh> Anything else I convert is going to have been made in Yorkshire (or possibly Colchester)
[01:17:15] <PetefromTn_> I just helped my friend Connor here making some mounts and parts for a Stepper Conversion of that machine LOL
[01:19:39] <andypugh> FA-Parts on eBay has a lot of used sets. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251323643029 has drivers, motors, mains filter, connectors and even a parallel ort breakout (which you probably wouldn’t use).
[01:20:01] <PetefromTn_> http://imgur.com/b1cH2in,65yvceN#1 I am definitely NOT a sheetmetal guy but I managed to get the ducts made without a brake or shear and got it screwed together this afternoon. Whaddya think?
[01:20:23] <zeeshan> that looks great man
[01:20:30] <andypugh> Functional :-)
[01:20:40] <PetefromTn_> yeah I know it ain't pretty
[01:20:43] <PetefromTn_> but it should work fine
[01:20:45] <zeeshan> what
[01:20:50] <PetefromTn_> Once it is screwed to the existing duct
[01:20:51] <zeeshan> thats what hvac stuff looks like
[01:20:55] <zeeshan> even in that video
[01:20:57] <zeeshan> using that fancy brake
[01:20:58] <PetefromTn_> it should be a lot more solid too
[01:21:03] <zeeshan> it was a floopy noodle
[01:21:17] <PetefromTn_> that's true
[01:21:28] <PetefromTn_> I thought it came out decent really considering
[01:21:32] <andypugh> Pop-rivets might look nicer inside than self-tappers, but no-one else will ever see the inside.
[01:21:40] <PetefromTn_> The templates worked fine
[01:21:43] <zeeshan> andypugh: hvac they use sheet metal screws
[01:21:49] <zeeshan> =P
[01:21:52] <zeeshan> i have yet to see rivets!
[01:22:05] <PetefromTn_> I had pop rivets but drilling thru the two pieces is kind of a bitch
[01:22:12] <PetefromTn_> I tried it in a couple spots
[01:22:19] <zeeshan> self tapping screwz

[01:22:55] <PetefromTn_> Using the butterfly impact driver 3/8 inch and the self tapping screws it went rather quickly
[01:23:14] <andypugh> My furnace is uglier than your duct sheet-metal-wise: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/kOXgwXHGQ_6kUm_7og3egtMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink
[01:23:17] <PetefromTn_> It actually seems like it should fit and work great.
[01:24:33] <PetefromTn_> the round ring kinda tweaked a bit but once the flexible duct is installed onto it you are supposed to use these HUGE zip ties and the aluminum tape to lock it on. Should make it more round again.
[01:24:36] <andypugh> (worked well though, all the gears and nuts are now hardened and tempered)
[01:24:52] <PetefromTn_> andypugh That looks pretty nice tho mna.
[01:24:53] <zeeshan> what temps can you hit?

[01:25:15] <zeeshan> wow
[01:25:34] <PetefromTn_> what is the heating element?
[01:25:36] <zeeshan> are you using nichrome?
[01:25:47] <andypugh> I am thinking I can put it on the end and melt aluminum and brass in it too.
[01:26:38] <andypugh> Yes, 10m of Brightray alloy wrapped round an alumina tube for a 2kW element, then all wrapped in ceramic wool blanket.
[01:27:10] <andypugh> The camera sees colours differently: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/0KBnb_gsIAVDxe1ALNSTsNMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink
[01:27:27] <zeeshan> wow dude
[01:27:29] <zeeshan> that looks bad ass
[01:27:35] <zeeshan> i dont see why you cant melt aluminum in it
[01:27:44] <PetefromTn_> that looks pretty damn hot LOL
[01:28:02] <zeeshan> you can even put hotdogs inthere
[01:28:08] <zeeshan> and get em nice and crispy!

[01:29:11] <XXCoder> heh always wanted to try my hand in melting alum
[01:29:20] <zeeshan> XXCoder: dont melt your h and
[01:29:55] <andypugh> That ingot is actually White Metal, we used it to re-make the big-end bearings on the 1916 fire engine.
[01:30:17] <XXCoder> weird https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/art/4763160481.html
[01:30:24] <zeeshan> whitemetal?
[01:30:28] <zeeshan> aka babbit?
[01:30:44] <handmill> I'm located across the pond.. 220 V stuff wouldn't work on our 120 V grid..
[01:31:03] <zeeshan> It is preferred over the term "white metal", because the latter term may refer to various bearing alloys, lead- or tin-based alloys, or zinc die-casting metal.
[01:31:05] <zeeshan> okay same thing
[01:31:05] <zeeshan> :D
[01:31:06] <handmill> andypugh: ^
[01:31:11] <XXCoder> wonder if pottery kilnb would get hot enough to melt alum
[01:31:45] <pcw_home> Yep
[01:32:11] <zeeshan> handmill: wut
[01:32:48] <XXCoder> well finally cant go any futher up mountain lol
[01:33:08] <XXCoder> barely entered mountain foot
[01:33:19] <handmill> andypugh sent me a link for drivers that require 220V AC, I'm in the US where the standard electric is only 120V AC...
[01:33:24] <andypugh> handmill: For 120V you would still need 10m of wire (current density and power limits) but you would have to add an extra lead-out in the middle and common the ends. (or use thicker wire than the spool I found in the skip years ago, of course :-)
[01:35:20] <andypugh> handmill: Ah, for the servo-drives you would need to find the manuals to see if they work on your effette US electricity.
[01:37:14] <andypugh> Anyway, time to sleep. I have a trip on the Ner-a-Car planned for tomorrow, and that means an early start.

[03:09:19] <Aero-Tec2> will se if it loads on the real thing
[03:09:22] <zeeshan> drilling is done by hand
[03:10:04] <cradek> what motion do you want to have when you do the g81?
[03:11:21] <cradek> the error you probably saw was precisely "G18 canned cycle is not possible on a machine without Y axis"
[03:11:49] <cradek> ... which is correct, because if you are in G18 mode and you program G81, it means you want to drill along Y

[03:27:07] <Aero-Tec2> is G17 lathe node?
[03:27:14] <Aero-Tec2> mode
[03:27:33] <zeeshan> neither is lathe mode
[03:27:40] <Aero-Tec2> BTW the lathe had same error
[03:27:42] <zeeshan> they selection plane selection of movement.
[03:28:10] <zeeshan> what cradek was saying
[03:28:19] <zeeshan> when you have g18 youre selection XZ plane.
[03:28:25] <Aero-Tec2> I have been using G18 when running the lathe
[03:28:32] <zeeshan> so when you issue a g81 it drills in Y axis.
[03:28:37] <zeeshan> i understand that
[03:28:43] <zeeshan> you gotta call g18 for all your lathe moves
[03:28:47] <Aero-Tec2> cradek, your right about the error message
[03:28:54] <zeeshan> but you need to call g17 before you drill
[03:29:05] <zeeshan> and then swap back to g18 after you're done the drill cycle

[03:34:23] <Aero-Tec2> so in G17 mode do I still use Z for drilling the hole?
[03:34:44] <Aero-Tec2> is Z still Z in G17 when running a lathe?
[03:34:58] <Aero-Tec2> I am messed up here
[03:35:24] <Aero-Tec2> looked up G17 and am lost as to what is going on
[03:36:05] <Aero-Tec2> does Z become Y?
[03:36:26] <Aero-Tec2> brain feels like it is shorting out
[03:36:27] <Aero-Tec2> lol
[03:36:29] <Tom_itx> it shifts machine coordinates
[03:37:19] <Tom_itx> i'm lost to know why a lathe would need G17
[03:38:50] <Tom_itx> are you doing a 2nd op like a cross drill etc?
[03:38:56] <Aero-Tec2> for running canned Gcode
[03:39:03] <Aero-Tec2> no
[03:39:20] <Aero-Tec2> simple end drilling
[03:39:28] <Aero-Tec2> down the Z
[03:39:53] <Aero-Tec2> and I am glad I am not the only one not understanding this whole thing
[03:40:11] <Aero-Tec2> I wanted to run G73
[03:40:26] <Aero-Tec2> but complains there is no Y axis
[03:40:36] <Aero-Tec2> get error message
[03:40:48] <Aero-Tec2> but lathe has no Y axis
[03:40:57] <Aero-Tec2> not mine at least
[03:41:25] <Tom_itx> my Okuma lathe manual shows nothing for G17..19
[03:41:36] <Aero-Tec2> all I want to do is drill a hole
[03:41:46] <Tom_itx> so shove the tool in the hole
[03:41:53] <Aero-Tec2> lol
[03:41:54] <Tom_itx> S xxx F xxx
[03:41:59] <Tom_itx> linear move
[03:42:04] <Aero-Tec2> under CNC control
[03:42:06] <Tom_itx> or peck
[03:42:15] <Aero-Tec2> with peck
[03:42:17] <Tom_itx> i realize that. that's what htis channel is
[03:42:36] <Aero-Tec2> doing a loop to make G73 do peck
[03:43:01] <Tom_itx> i wonder what my cad cam spits out for a hole
[03:43:49] <Aero-Tec2> would guess linear moves
[03:44:00] <Aero-Tec2> not canned stuff
[03:45:11] <Aero-Tec2> I wanted to write a chunk of code that be changing a few values I could drill any hole, or most any
[03:45:56] <Aero-Tec2> deep or shallow and have auto peak start when hole was 3 times deeper then dis of drill

[03:51:11] <Aero-Tec2> I am at a total loss as to why
[03:51:35] <Tom_itx> feature of that Gcode
[03:51:38] <Tom_itx> drill cycle
[03:51:55] <zeeshan> aerotech i explaed it to you
[03:51:57] <zeeshan> explained
[03:52:04] <zeeshan> g17 g18 don't select "lathe mode"
[03:52:18] <Aero-Tec2> yes
[03:52:19] <zeeshan> they select the plane of movement of canned cycles for example
[03:52:29] <zeeshan> yes its true that you use g18 most of the time for lathe
[03:52:35] <zeeshan> because youre moving in the XZ plane
[03:52:43] <zeeshan> but the drill cycle works in the XY plane
[03:52:49] <zeeshan> to drill in the Z direction
[03:52:53] <Aero-Tec2> but my lathe has no Y, so why do I need G17?
[03:53:02] <zeeshan> because thats how the canned drill cycle works
[03:53:13] <zeeshan> say you did G18 before G81
[03:53:19] <zeeshan> it'll think you want to plunge in the Y direction
[03:53:27] <zeeshan> if you did G17 before G81 it'll plunge in the Z direction
[03:53:31] <Tom_itx> it shifts the coordinates
[03:53:38] <Tom_itx> like i said earlier
[03:53:42] <Aero-Tec2> ok
[03:53:46] <zeeshan> i know its a bit confusing
[03:53:52] <Aero-Tec2> very
[03:53:56] <zeeshan> but the best thing is play around with the simulation like you are
[03:53:59] <Tom_itx> you just have to remember which is which
[03:54:16] <Aero-Tec2> I still am trying to understand it all
[03:54:28] <Tom_itx> another thing i find with cad is you need to know if it's a front or back tool machine
[03:54:48] <zeeshan> Tom_itx: that messes with me a lot
[03:54:48] <zeeshan> lol
[03:54:49] <Aero-Tec2> I understand what you said, just not sure as to why it needs to be that way
[03:55:00] <Tom_itx> it's da law
[03:55:03] <zeeshan> Aero-Tec because you need to specify which way the drill plunges
[03:55:22] <zeeshan> if you dont specify using g17 etc
[03:55:24] <zeeshan> how will it know?

[03:56:04] <Tom_itx> i wish i had a full post set up for my lathe package
[03:56:12] <Aero-Tec2> but drilling is mostly done along the Z
[03:56:16] <tjtr33> argh shoveling snow again
[03:56:21] <Tom_itx> it would be interesting to see what it puts out for some of the canned cycles
[03:56:32] <Tom_itx> Aero-Tec2 not if you're crossdrilling
[03:56:34] <Tom_itx> etc
[03:56:45] <Aero-Tec2> true
[03:57:00] <Aero-Tec2> mind warping
[03:58:10] <Aero-Tec2> will have to think about it more and see if I can get it to make seance so I can understand it more
[03:58:30] <Aero-Tec2> thanks for the help
[03:58:35] <tjtr33> do the canned cycles use g02 or g03, thats what G17/18/19 define, the plane in which circular interp occurs
[03:58:42] <Aero-Tec2> would have never got this one on my own
[03:58:52] <Tom_itx> draw your right hand rule on paper and see where z goes on a lathe compared to a mill
[03:59:09] <Aero-Tec2> well not with out risking a total melt down
[04:00:01] <Tom_itx> and write in the G17...19 orientation on the rule

[04:01:27] <Aero-Tec2> did not make any sense at the time

[04:03:15] <Tom_L> http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/gcode.html#sec:G80-G89
[04:03:34] <Tom_L> All canned cycles are performed with respect to the currently-selected plane. Any of the six planes may be selected. Throughout this section, most of the descriptions assume the XY-plane has been selected.
[04:07:41] <Tom_itx> i think lathes assume G18 as default...
[04:09:25] <Tom_itx> my cam spits out a G18 at the top of the file...
[04:13:34] <tjtr33> yes in short, these cycles assume the tool axis is normal to the plane of circular interpolation. thes docs could say as much is as few words.
[04:14:47] -!- FinboySlick has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[04:14:53] <Tom_itx> also, on the Okuma at least the canned cycle Gcodes have been redefined to be something else

[04:16:15] <PetefromTn_andro> Tj. I think it was you that suggested I put a 1" square in the drawing yesterday
[04:16:35] <Tom_itx> good point of reference
[04:16:44] <tjtr33> oh yeah, nice round to rect transition, did the marker help?
[04:17:00] <PetefromTn_andro> That turned out to be a great idea and make scaling the prints correctly a lot easier
[04:17:29] <PetefromTn_andro> So thanks for the tip man
[04:17:43] <tjtr33> i like sheet metal layout, was fun simple geometry
[04:17:45] <tjtr33> np

[04:19:14] <Tom_itx> i did a similar on my furnace way back but it didn't involve square to round
[04:19:38] <PetefromTn_andro> Believe it or not I did not even get a nick
[04:20:00] <tjtr33> freecad has a sheet metal bend module? cool. bend allowance is tricky
[04:20:07] <PetefromTn_andro> I work with my thick leather welding gauntlets
[04:20:10] <Tom_itx> yeah
[04:20:28] <Tom_itx> we did bend allowance when making hydro blocks for stamping aluminum parts
[04:20:48] <tjtr33> hydroformiong? worked on that a bit up in CA
[04:20:49] <PetefromTn_andro> No I am not aware of one but it would be nice to have that is for sure
[04:20:56] <Tom_itx> yes
[04:21:23] <tjtr33> in London ONT I saw a line blow.
[04:21:34] <Tom_itx> heh
[04:21:37] <Tom_itx> not good
[04:21:56] <PetefromTn_andro> Tomorrow we Will be screwing the new ducting transitions to the existing ones under the house
[04:22:08] <tjtr33> it was like inflating square tubes into car frames
[04:22:22] <Tom_itx> pete, you're running a bit late on this project :)
[04:22:41] <tjtr33> snow here (CHI)
[04:23:14] <PetefromTn_andro> It would seem that the sheet metal module would also be able to make 2d templates from round tube joints in 3d drawings
[04:23:52] <PetefromTn_andro> Yeah I know man but the penny just dropped if you know what I mean
[04:24:30] <Tom_itx> wow, this manual has more M codes than G codes
[04:24:50] <PetefromTn_andro> You could probably get templates printed on your home printer for notching tubing

[16:01:14] <SpeedEvil> With a vice, you can get a nice cut
[16:02:22] <PetefromTn_> I got some quality sheetmetal sheers here and while they are no replacement for a proper metal sheer machine it got the job done yesterday
[16:03:04] <PetefromTn_> I would like to get one of those pneumatic scissor sheetmetal shears tho.
[16:03:50] <CaptHindsight> the first sheer/brake you buy is never big enough
[16:04:32] <PetefromTn_> I was looking at one of those 3 in 1 brake sheer roll machines for what I do here it would probably be fine.
[16:04:42] <PetefromTn_> They make a 40 inch one that looks interesting
[16:04:53] <CaptHindsight> and a good corner notcher
[16:04:59] <SpeedEvil> CaptHindsight: well - depends. there was a local ebay with an 8' shear.
[16:05:39] <CaptHindsight> yeah, the 30" version was on sale when I got it, wish I just gotten the 40 :)
[16:06:00] <PetefromTn_> oh you have one of those..
[16:06:05] <PetefromTn_> how does it work?
[16:06:38] <JT-Shop> PetefromTn_, the 30" 3 in1 is for very light metal only
[16:06:40] <PetefromTn_> http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_623_623 was looking at that one locally
[16:06:47] <CaptHindsight> it's clunky
[16:06:59] <PetefromTn_> how so?
[16:07:20] <JT-Shop> that looks exactly like my Griz but in red
[16:07:39] <PetefromTn_> do you have the 40 inch one?
[16:07:43] <CaptHindsight> the stops it comes with are a joke
[16:08:12] <PetefromTn_> never used one...what stops?
[16:08:16] <JT-Shop> I have the 30" one
[16:08:53] <PetefromTn_> so it's a piece of chinese shit then?
[16:09:33] <JT-Shop> mine will roll and brake 22 gauge and shear 28 gauge
[16:10:03] <CaptHindsight> if you rework it or you take your time to get to know it you can get the job done, but don't expect lots of work through it
[16:10:16] <JT-Shop> the brake and roll are ok the shear is a bit finicky
[16:10:44] <CaptHindsight> I shear #22 stainless
[16:11:31] <PetefromTn_> full width?
[16:11:58] <CaptHindsight> I did batch of 24" wide recently
[16:12:04] <CaptHindsight> a batch
[16:12:18] <PetefromTn_> what would you say is the thickest you can brake if the parts were say 8-10 inches wide?
[16:13:40] <JT-Shop> I have this one http://www.grizzly.com/products/30-3-in-1-Sheet-Metal-Machine/G4011Z
[16:14:38] <PetefromTn_> is it all cast or is it made from plate steel?
[16:15:11] <PetefromTn_> the video they posted looks decent really. altho it is all thin sheet stuff.
[16:15:31] <JT-Shop> it's cast
[16:16:55] <JT-Shop> I also have this one http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_7902_7902
[16:17:30] <PetefromTn_> hm I started making something like that for my small shop press
[16:17:45] <JT-Shop> and this one too http://www.grizzly.com/products/48-Pan-Box-Brake-12-Ga-/G0542
[16:18:15] <CaptHindsight> PetefromTn_: 18ga cold roll is the heaviest I've used in it
[16:18:21] <PetefromTn_> you got a lot of Grizzly stuff huh...
[16:18:31] <JT-Shop> the press brake has a sloppy fit on the pin and pipe
[16:18:37] <PetefromTn_> thanks for the input guys
[16:18:43] <SpeedEvil> Sloppy fit
[16:18:46] <PetefromTn_> I gotta get under my house now and get some work done.

[16:20:13] <CaptHindsight> JT-Shop: with the pins being sloppy is it difficult to line up the material?
[16:20:57] <JT-Shop> not really, how close can you get with sheet metal?
[16:21:18] <JT-Shop> the pins are 0.040" smaller than the holes in the pipes
[16:21:42] <JT-Shop> I assume to prevent binding
[16:25:56] <JT-Shop> $150 to ship a 4lb box to Turkey via UPS
[16:26:11] <CaptHindsight> sounds about right
[16:26:31] <JT-Shop> USPS First Class $40
[16:26:35] <CaptHindsight> is it smaller than 9 x 11 x4?
[16:27:10] <CaptHindsight> I use the flat rate USPS boxes all the time for international
[16:27:29] <CaptHindsight> USPS might be 30 days
[16:27:34] <CaptHindsight> first class
[16:28:11] <JT-Shop> yea, it's 9 x 9 x 3
[16:28:46] <CaptHindsight> usps express international is 3-5 days for ~$80
[16:28:58] <JT-Shop> customer requested UPS
[16:29:00] <CaptHindsight> has to fit in the box and be under 20lbs
[16:29:47] <JT-Shop> I usually ship them in medium flat rate boxes
[16:29:49] <CaptHindsight> customs is always faster with UPS
[16:30:33] <JT-Shop> I ship a lot to Australia and it sits in customs for about a week there
[16:31:14] <JT-Shop> funny thing is all USPS even first class fly in the same plane to overseas

[17:47:13] <CaptHindsight> they might make a few hundred to few K's
[17:47:51] <Rab> zeeshan, it might. I don't know a lot of machining or metallurgy, but it seems like with machining you're cutting without respect to the metal grain...might not be the strongest for a spiderweb like that.
[17:48:46] <CaptHindsight> the spider web is there for weight reduction
[17:49:22] <Rab> Yeah, so material matters...not sure milled aluminum will be as strong as (I assume) magnesium alloy in that configuration.
[17:49:29] <Rab> Just a thought.

[17:49:54] <zeeshan> you can think of billet

[17:50:42] <zeeshan> or casting where you'll have longer grains on the outside and smaller on the inside

[18:14:52] <Rab> CaptHindsight, I see.
[18:15:07] <CaptHindsight> the plastic enclosures were there for aesthetics and insulation, the chassis provided most of the support

[18:36:05] <archivist> that is one application
[18:36:37] <syyl> main application is grinding single lip cutters
[18:36:40] <syyl> thats what its made for
[18:36:56] <syyl> but it can be used for a lot of other stuff
[18:37:00] <syyl> used and abused ;)

[18:43:28] <archivist> that has lots of modifications to the basic design

[18:43:31] <zeeshan> dark blue
[18:43:33] <zeeshan> with polish
[18:43:43] <zeeshan> its almost as good as black on gold
[18:44:07] <archivist> I saw it again a month ago
[18:44:11] <zeeshan> can you grind ball nose end mills on that "deckel style" grinder?

[18:44:23] <zeeshan> (ie does it have a pivot)
[18:44:45] <zeeshan> also can you re-grind reamers? :P
[18:45:32] <archivist> I dont think the deckel is suitable for reamers
[18:46:38] <zeeshan> these grinders remind me of the question
[18:46:47] <zeeshan> that i've been asking on the lab writeups
[18:47:23] <syyl> you can grind ball end single lip cutters
[18:47:26] <syyl> and bullnose
[18:47:26] <zeeshan> "describe and illustrate two methods to hold a spherical non-hardened ball bearing on a milling machine to be drilled through its center"
[18:47:36] <zeeshan> theres one application of that there :D
[18:47:38] <zeeshan> all those fancy handles
[18:47:40] <syyl> multiflute cutters are a bit tricky
[18:47:43] <syyl> but can be done
[18:50:25] <CaptHindsight> zeeshan: magnets!
[18:50:36] <zeeshan> CaptHindsight: so many ways
[18:51:04] <archivist> I have to drill the ball on the end one day http://www.collection.archivist.info/archive/DJCPD/PD/2014/2014_09_07_Lorch_lathe/IMG_1822.JPG
[18:51:13] <zeeshan> a perfect answer must have a consideration of dynamics
[18:51:26] <zeeshan> so theres an axial force of drilling, and a torque
[18:51:42] <CaptHindsight> zeeshan: whats been the worst answer so far? Weld it to the table?
[18:51:42] <archivist> support it
[18:51:45] <zeeshan> so if you can resist both in whatever method you describe, its acceptable :P
[18:51:53] <zeeshan> CaptHindsight: you dont want to know
[18:51:54] <zeeshan> lol
[18:51:59] <zeeshan> the worst answer has been a "blank"
[18:52:15] <archivist> wax chuck is the clockmakers answer

[18:52:22] <zeeshan> archivist: so many methods
[18:52:28] <CaptHindsight> use a blank to hold them!
[18:52:28] <zeeshan> theres literally prolly 20 different way to do it
[18:53:02] <CaptHindsight> zeeshan: which class is this?
[18:53:04] <zeeshan> my ways were drill a hole through a block, chamfer it. spray adhesive on the chamfer, put block
[18:53:08] <zeeshan> block = sphere
[18:53:09] <archivist> cheat, drill before it is made into a ball
[18:53:10] <zeeshan> and drill
[18:53:22] <zeeshan> another was using a fancy double v block
[18:53:27] <zeeshan> with compound angle
[18:53:48] <zeeshan> CaptHindsight: it is one of the labs they have to do in their lab course
[18:53:56] <CaptHindsight> are custom fixtures allowed?
[18:54:01] <zeeshan> anything is allowed :P
[18:54:21] <zeeshan> we're just trying to make them think about the forces involved
[18:54:32] <zeeshan> and workholding resists those forces
[18:54:44] <zeeshan> and that theres many way to do it
[18:54:47] <CaptHindsight> do the balls still have to be round after drilling?
[18:54:53] <zeeshan> most students think you need a vise to hold parts on a mill..
[18:55:05] <shaun414> LOL
[18:55:08] * archivist hides the edm
[18:55:24] <zeeshan> CaptHindsight: haha too many questions
[18:55:26] <shaun414> i saw some kid at my schools machine shop operating a lathe
[18:55:29] <zeeshan> just hoild the damn ball!
[18:55:29] <zeeshan> :D
[18:55:30] <shaun414> guess what he was doing..
[18:55:56] <shaun414> his arm with sweatshirt on, was reaching OVER a RUNNING lathe
[18:56:00] <CaptHindsight> zeeshan: well I like to have all the specifics and boundaries
[18:56:05] <shaun414> over the chuck
[18:56:05] <shaun414> ..
[18:56:08] <shaun414> wtf man
[18:56:10] <zeeshan> CaptHindsight: you are too advanced for this lab
[18:56:12] <zeeshan> :P
[18:56:36] <zeeshan> my safety spheel is nice and short
[18:56:43] <CaptHindsight> shaun314: don't they have a safety class first?
[18:56:44] <zeeshan> i ask them what they think the most dangerous machine is in the shop
[18:56:48] <shaun414> yes CaptHindsight ...
[18:56:52] <zeeshan> 99% say the bandsaw
[18:56:55] <shaun414> lathe
[18:56:56] <shaun414> :p
[18:56:59] <zeeshan> i tell them, i agree with them
[18:57:15] <zeeshan> because most accidents consist of chopping off your finger and you'll feel the pain
[18:57:22] <zeeshan> so i agree it's dangerous because you'd recognize the pain
[18:57:25] <zeeshan> but on the lathe, you'll be dead
[18:57:30] <zeeshan> so you won't even remember it.
[18:57:30] <shaun414> well a bandsaw can chop a finger off, but a lathe can crush you

[18:59:42] <zeeshan> to make them realize theres a lot more worst things than having a chopped finger ... death
[18:59:55] <shaun414> then, put said arem UNDER the chuck while it was off..
[18:59:59] <Tom_itx> zeeshan run a ball mill down into a pair of softjaws with them open .050"

[22:49:31] <LeelooMinai> Guess what happens in the middle of thought "I should probably slow down with this tapping, it looks like it's gona break" :p
[22:51:45] <PetefromTn_> OOOhhh that bites.... Nothing worse than the sinking feeling after you break off the damn tap in a piece you just spent hours machining.
[22:51:48] <_methods> heheh welcome to the greatest experience in the world of machining
[22:52:04] <_methods> broken taps!!!!!
[22:52:14] <LeelooMinai> Well, it was m3 - I think those are easier to break.
[22:52:26] <_methods> they all break lol
[22:52:51] <LeelooMinai> I could get a hint when I noticed the sides of it were not straight any more
[22:53:19] <LeelooMinai> Hmm, is there some "kind" that is more resilient?
[22:53:21] <_methods> you were rigid tapping?
[22:53:29] <LeelooMinai> Like cobalt for drills, for example.
[22:53:29] <_methods> or hand tapping?
[22:53:39] <_methods> it depends on what you're doing
[22:53:48] <_methods> you have to use the right tap for the job
[22:53:59] <_methods> spriral flute, bottoming, thru hole
[22:54:04] <LeelooMinai> I was using my drill press and this tool that keeps the tap perpendicular - it has spring inside and pin that sticks out.
[22:54:10] <_methods> some taps are better than others
[22:54:19] <_methods> ahh so you were hand tapping
[22:54:23] -!- tchaddad has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[22:54:37] <_methods> what were you using for lube?
[22:54:57] <LeelooMinai> This time nothing, but normally I use some transmission fluid.
[22:55:14] <_methods> well get yourself some anchor lube
[22:55:16] <LeelooMinai> I thought "this is tiny hole"...:)
[22:55:20] <_methods> if you're going to be doing a lot of tapping
[22:55:22] <PetefromTn_> tap magic and others are worth their price
[22:55:35] <LeelooMinai> I think I need to buy more of those m3 taps too...
[22:55:44] <PetefromTn_> I actually bought some stuff at ACE hardware that is decent too.
[22:55:46] <_methods> is it a thru hole?
[22:56:06] <_methods> i use anchor lube or moly-d
[22:56:22] <LeelooMinai> Yes, it was through hole - I was "producing" limit switches mounts for my cnc using T6061
[22:56:28] <PetefromTn_> I hear good things about Moly d
[22:56:37] <PetefromTn_> thought it was not available anymore
[22:56:54] <_methods> yeah aluminum likes to load the flutes
[22:57:03] <_methods> it will snap a small tap quick
[22:57:06] <LeelooMinai> Because my old tiny CHinese mounts had a strange feature - when NC they were not really NC:)
[22:57:11] <PetefromTn_> get a spiral flute or spiral point tap and use the lube of your choise
[22:57:13] <LeelooMinai> I mean limit switches
[22:57:15] <_methods> put some lube on it
[22:58:06] <LeelooMinai> Yes, I guess I had to break one tap, to get a feel for not doing it next time
[22:58:31] <_methods> yeah small taps are not very forgiving
[22:58:41] <_methods> got my baby all set up and rust cleaned off

[22:59:24] <_methods> $500 with taper and milling attachment lol
[22:59:57] <LeelooMinai> I always wandered why lathes are considered such great tools - they can only deal with round objects, no?
[23:00:19] <_methods> you can do anything with them
[23:00:24] <_methods> lathe is more important than a mill
[23:00:40] <LeelooMinai> Right, I think I don't get it:)
[23:01:11] <[cube]> lathe is the only machine on the planet that can replicate itself
[23:01:12] <_methods> you can put an endmill in the spindle
[23:01:13] <LeelooMinai> Say, I want to make small enclosure for some project in alu - what would a lathe be good for?
[23:01:44] <cradek> you could make a nice round enclosure with a threaded lid
[23:01:48] <_methods> hahah
[23:01:53] <_methods> like a mac
[23:01:54] <LeelooMinai> lol, right
[23:02:12] <_methods> there are milling attachments that fit on the crossslide

[23:02:19] <LeelooMinai> That's what I was talking about - for me mill cnc seems more attractive
[23:02:23] <_methods> so you can put tooling in the lathe spindle and mill on the toolpost
[23:02:26] <_methods> not ideal
[23:02:30] <_methods> but it can be doen

[23:02:55] <_methods> i was bored one night
[23:03:00] <cradek> you can turn a rectangular thing in a lathe
[23:03:07] <shaun414> hello
[23:03:31] <LeelooMinai> My CNC is not really operational yet, but I was wondering - how would one go to make some surface in alu, that is at some angle to the x-y plane, say 45 deg?
[23:03:36] <PetefromTn_> did you print a template or something?
[23:03:54] <PetefromTn_> tilt it in the vise?
[23:03:55] <_methods> i had a micro projector
[23:04:04] <_methods> and projected on to cardboard
[23:04:05] <cradek> you can use a sine bar in the vise to make all sorts of angles
[23:04:06] <_methods> then traced it

[23:04:11] <LeelooMinai> Would I need additional rotating axis, or I would do some line by line stepping, or maybe I would use special cutter?
[23:04:36] <_methods> you could use surfacing tool path
[23:04:39] <_methods> with a ball mill
[23:04:43] <PetefromTn_> if you need to machine an angled face onto a flat part you use 3d surfacing
[23:05:10] <cradek> or a bit of clever fixturing
[23:05:13] <cradek> or a 5 axis mill
[23:05:15] <LeelooMinai> Which is what in terms of what would machine do?
[23:05:19] <cradek> there are lots of ways to machine a cat
[23:05:26] <_methods> ^^
[23:05:43] <_methods> how much time do you have, how much money do you have
[23:06:01] <LeelooMinai> I mean "3d surfacing" sounds pretty generic
[23:06:02] <PetefromTn_> BOBA FETT!
[23:06:09] <_methods> yeah hahhaha
[23:06:10] <cradek> before the days of cnc people still made 45 degree angles
[23:06:32] <PetefromTn_> what kinda lathe is that again?
[23:06:38] <cradek> they even made arcs, which is actually a fairly hard thing to do without cnc
[23:06:39] <_methods> it's an old atlas
[23:06:43] <_methods> th42
[23:06:45] <LeelooMinai> I can make 45 angle in wood using a sharpened stone, but... :)
[23:06:47] <PetefromTn_> nice
[23:06:54] <_methods> i'm happy
[23:07:05] <_methods> i wanted a small tool room lathe
[23:07:09] <PetefromTn_> what is the laptop and mount for?
[23:07:15] <_methods> i would rather have gottan a small monarch
[23:07:20] <_methods> for my computer lol
[23:07:26] <PetefromTn_> 10EE!!!
[23:07:49] <LeelooMinai> I wonder what is that tool with huge spiral bit on the left for
[23:08:12] <PetefromTn_> you mean the hedge trimmer?
[23:08:13] <LeelooMinai> Or it's not spiral? I don't know - looks brutal
[23:08:19] <_methods> hahahha
[23:08:34] <_methods> hedge trimmer and copper pipe lol
[23:08:40] <_methods> look out for that combo
[23:08:47] <PetefromTn_> I have one just like that but I got rid of my hedges awhile back LOL
[23:09:11] <[cube]> almost cut my thumb off with one of those when i was 13
[23:09:16] <_methods> oh ouch
[23:09:16] <[cube]> still have the scars
[23:09:25] <PetefromTn_> damn things are dangerous
[23:09:31] <PetefromTn_> ;)>
[23:09:33] <LeelooMinai> No, but really, what do you make even with that lathe?
[23:09:42] <[cube]> i was holding it with one hand, snapped back and i instinctively grabbed it
[23:09:46] <shaun414> anyone selling any machine tools?
[23:09:50] <PetefromTn_> man you can make TONS of stuff with a decent lathe

[23:22:26] <LeelooMinai> I wonder if this kind of tap would be more forgiving: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/HSS-CO-Cobalt-H2-Metric-Right-Hand-Spiral-Straight-Flute-Tap-Drill-M3-0-5mm-/231287952453?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35d9d61445
[23:22:29] <_methods> yeah
[23:22:32] <PetefromTn_> 14k is probably a bargain for that thing

[23:22:45] <shaun414> I might be able to afford this
[23:22:50] <shaun414> lego is expesnive tho
[23:23:33] <ssi> lol
[23:24:04] <PetefromTn_> look at Morse taps on ebay
[23:24:21] <shaun414> yeah
[23:24:23] <_methods> are you in china LeelooMinai
[23:24:27] <shaun414> chucks are like 300 bucks
[23:24:33] <LeelooMinai> No, Canada
[23:24:37] <_methods> oh lol
[23:24:41] <ssi> basically the same thing
[23:25:31] <Aero-Tec2> how is Canada like china?
[23:25:41] <ssi> is this a riddle?
[23:26:21] <_methods> their names both start with C and end with A?
[23:26:29] <PetefromTn_> I need to get some acrylic sheet like .3 or so thick for a reasonable price.
[23:26:34] <Aero-Tec2> ssi where do you live?
[23:26:48] <_methods> PetefromTn_: sign shops
[23:26:56] <_methods> they might have drops you can buy
[23:27:04] <PetefromTn_> Hm I actually know a guy who owns a sign shop
[23:27:04] <_methods> or scrap
[23:27:12] <PetefromTn_> It needs to be a foot square or so
[23:27:22] <_methods> yeah i'd try hittin a sign shop up
[23:27:24] <ssi> PetefromTn_: home depot sells .220" acrylic
[23:27:25] <PetefromTn_> onlinemetals has it
[23:27:28] <_methods> they go through lots of stuff like that
[23:27:45] <PetefromTn_> Home depot is a RIPOFF on those materials!!!
[23:28:00] <PetefromTn_> and besides it is not really thick enough
[23:28:00] <ssi> if you only need one piece, it's not enough of a ripoff to really matter
[23:28:17] <PetefromTn_> I dunno it is pretty bad ripofff
[23:28:39] <_methods> i always walk by the metal section at home depot for a good laugh
[23:28:48] <PetefromTn_> yeah it is ridiculous
[23:29:06] <PetefromTn_> but people buy it..
[23:29:06] <LeelooMinai> Hmm, and alternative places are what?
[23:29:10] -!- nofxx_ has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds]
[23:29:32] <_methods> i'd rather rip rebar out of a bridge than pay homedepot prices
[23:29:56] <_methods> you can get metal from your local metal suppliers
[23:29:57] <PetefromTn_> I talked to a guy from Home depot one time and he said that they were going to start getting rid of the materials like steel and aluminum there but they just really cut it back
[23:30:01] <_methods> or go to local machine shops
[23:30:26] <PetefromTn_> makes you wonder how bad they are hiking the prices on other stuff...
[23:30:41] <_methods> you know it's the same
[23:30:43] <_methods> or worse
[23:30:45] <PetefromTn_> altho their prices for furniture plywood is not terrible really
[23:31:14] <PetefromTn_> I have done TONS of custom cabinet work and know what it costs me to buy from material suppliers for the most part at least in my area
[23:31:34] <_methods> they just have shit quality plywood
[23:31:35] <ssi> the prices aren't terrible, BUT
[23:31:36] <PetefromTn_> their prices are not that much higher really for hardwood plywood but the quality is not the same.
[23:31:55] <ssi> their chinese birch ply is much crappier than the chinese birch ply I can get for $4-5 cheaper at a lumberyard
[23:32:16] <PetefromTn_> yeah wholesale prices are not much lower really from my experience
[23:32:33] <ssi> I gave my next door neighbor all my good plywood
[23:32:36] <ssi> I didn't want to move it :P
[23:32:48] <PetefromTn_> I actually prefer to buy their bead board over the materials suppliers because I like the spacing and it is a bit cheaper at HD
[23:33:12] <PetefromTn_> believe it or not
[23:33:20] <PetefromTn_> their metal tho....Forget it.
[23:33:38] <ssi> yeah it's stupid
[23:34:08] <_methods> it's so bad it's silly

[23:43:59] <JT-Shop> now for something completely different some Kate Bush singing Coffee Homeground
[23:44:55] <PetefromTn_> unless she is with Peter gabriel I am not interested ;)
[23:45:05] <shaun414> idk
[23:45:16] <shaun414> How much can you reasonably make on the side/
[23:45:17] * LeelooMinai ordered on Co tap and two HSS for total of $5
[23:45:23] <shaun414> enough to pay for the tools?
[23:45:50] <LeelooMinai> I wonder how long it will take me to break them all
[23:45:58] <shaun414> :p
[23:46:11] <JT-Shop> I only like the one song by her
[23:46:27] <LeelooMinai> Kate Bush is a bit coocoo, but I like Wuthering Heights
[23:46:51] <JT-Shop> she does have some amazing range in her voice

[23:47:41] <LeelooMinai> I did not really plan on the number of them in the future:) I bet a lot since m3 screws I use for random things on my CNC, ee projects, etc.
[23:47:44] <_methods> get you a bottle of that
[23:48:10] <_methods> you can tap granite with that
[23:48:12] <LeelooMinai> If I have to fix something small to something - m3 it is usually:)
