[00:03:38] <JT-Shop> ah yes I remember the drawbar now
[00:03:44] <andypugh> I have the Z moving now, so an update video is in order, I think.

[00:07:12] <JT-Shop> yes
[00:09:17] <Tom_itx> G7 is diameter mode on a lathe not feedrate sine curve control
[00:09:24] <JT-Shop> yep
[00:09:45] <Tom_itx> cad packages handle it just fine though
[00:10:39] <JT-Shop> yep they know what to do
[00:10:54] <Tom_itx> mine will wrap a tool path but it doesn't do angular axis movement that i know of or at least i don't have any templates that ouput code for it
[00:11:42] hdokes|werkin is now known as hdokes
[00:11:58] <Tom_itx> i may have a couple but i've never used them or know how they work
[00:12:35] <Tom_itx> since we didn't have any mills that did rotary movement
[00:12:46] <Tom_itx> at least not 'live'
[00:13:39] <Tom_itx> it would be kinda cool to see my sherline with a cradle and a rotary axis on it though :)
[00:14:41] <Tom_itx> i think feedrates on a rotary would act more like a lathe
[00:14:52] <JT-Shop> you could spend hours programming that :)
[00:15:06] <Tom_itx> as you approach the center it speeds up
[00:15:09] <toastyde1th> a lot of lathe rotary motion is programmed exactly like a milling machine
[00:15:36] <Tom_itx> i wish i'd have gotten into that but we never did
[00:16:00] <toastyde1th> you program an outer profile and the lathe automatically generates it by rotating that point set around 0,0
[00:16:15] <toastyde1th> it's very, very easy to program live tooling on most controls because of this
[00:17:37] <toastyde1th> this would make doing C-synchronized turning equally easy because all you're doing is programming the outer part profile and commanding a z depth
[00:17:41] <toastyde1th> machine does the rest
[00:17:51] <toastyde1th> or inner profile, for hexes and stuff
[00:23:16] <toastyde1th> sigh, i wish i had a beat up live tooling machine

[00:27:30] <toastyde1th> there was a video of a homebuilt tesla turbine
[00:27:35] <toastyde1th> that was running at like 10k rpm

http://i.imgur.com/w0kPC.jpg?1
[01:00:15] <JT-Shop> how did you know I was back out in the shop?
[01:00:31] <tjb1> I watched you leave dinner...duh
[01:00:39] <JT-Shop> lol
[01:01:31] <tjb1> Thats after I cut 2.5" off Z
[01:01:56] <JT-Shop> can you get more acceleration out of the Z now?
[01:02:32] <tjb1> I guess…until it runs out of grease or gets colder I suppose
[01:03:08] <tjb1> I need to add a bolt to that plate still so the distance is smaller, also read that the prox sensors pick up steel at a longer distance than aluminum
[01:04:15] <JT-Shop> yea a little better to have a steel target
[01:05:25] <JT-Shop> one more slot to mill... damn noisy mill
[01:10:11] <tjb1> Im debating whether or not I can drill that hole on a drill press...
[01:10:34] <JT-Shop> what hole?
[01:10:58] <tjb1> The hole for the bolt
[01:11:22] <JT-Shop> ah
[01:12:32] <tjb1> Ive been too lazy/busy to bring it to school and do it
[01:12:44] <tjb1> Take me longer to sign out all the tools than it would to drill the damn hole
[01:13:58] <JT-Shop> I can drill a pretty accurate hole using a drill press and taking proper precautionary measures
[01:14:27] <toastyde1th> contrast that to my "fuck it we'll do it live" method
[01:14:28] <tjb1> Our is a tractor supply model…not very rigid
[01:15:14] <JT-Shop> don't have to be rigid
[01:16:15] <JT-Shop> center punch, spotting bit if you have one, pilot hole, real hole...
[01:16:54] <cradek> center punch and then file it flat
[01:17:51] <toastyde1th> sharpened spoon
[01:17:52] <cradek> and yep - pilot hole around the size of the web of the drill sized for the real hole, and that's it. don't step up 7 sizes of drill, you lose center a bit more each time.
[01:18:38] <cradek> some seem to think "I'll do this right and use every drill in my index, one step up at a time" - I don't know where people get that or why they think it works
[01:18:48] <toastyde1th> because science
[01:21:13] <Jymmm> 9mm
[01:21:16] <JT-Shop> yep, I do it the same way
[01:21:30] <Jymmm> or .33lr if thin gauge
[01:21:33] <Jymmm> .22lr
[01:23:05] <JT-Shop> I'm liking it
http://imagebin.org/238865
[01:23:35] <JT-Shop> no movement on the slats
[01:24:50] <JT-Shop> cradek: what does filing the center punch do?
[01:25:35] <cradek> it gives you just a dent, instead of a dent with random mountains around it to catch the drill and push it around
[01:25:57] <JT-Shop> ok, that makes sense
[01:26:06] <JT-Shop> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhuMLpdnOjY
[01:26:46] <cradek> heh I've never actually seen the guy!
[01:27:21] <cradek> some of his rhymes are really great
[01:27:30] <JT-Shop> yea I like them
[01:28:08] <cradek> birdies all try and hide ... coated with cyanide

[16:50:07] <gmouer> did you guys get that issue with the multi axis machine and smooth motion sorted out yesterday? that was some real interesting subject matter
[16:50:44] <archivist> I dont think he is sorted yet
[16:51:51] <gmouer> I picked up a trick watching using halscope to plot a velocity curve during actual cutting, slick idea
[16:53:39] <archivist> we used that when I had a problem screw cutting, made it easy to pinpoint the problem
[16:56:10] <gmouer> andypugh: my friend is going forward with his VMC retrofit with redcap motors. Right now he is sorting out the fanuc spindle motor and getting it to behave with his baldor flux-vector drive. Soon it will be on to taming the redcap motors.
[16:57:16] <andypugh> Sounds exciting :-)
[16:58:18] <archivist> andypugh, what is your ballscrew that you want rotating nut for?
[16:58:39] <archivist> speed or grunt
[16:58:49] <gmouer> the VMC is a Kryle, a beaufiful machine but no longer made, mid 90's vintage. Redcap motors on all axis and the toolchanger. Your BLDC component is making it all possible. Thanks much.
[16:59:45] <andypugh> The X axis on my Mill. And the reason I want to do it that way is for neatness of installation and so that the motor is fairly stationary (rather than waving about on the end of the bed with cables flapping in the breeze)

[17:02:16] <gmouer> my friend has old bridgeport boss with a rotating nut on the X, my bridgeport has a conventional screw and the motor hung out the end of the X. That motor lines up nicely with the knees and sometimes more important body parts.

[18:14:22] <IchGuckLive> Aero-Tec: all parts milled ? Springs made
[18:17:06] <IchGuckLive> Rhinoucerus anounced today the new cam relese update for rhinocam 2012
[18:17:22] <Aero-Tec> still working on it
[18:17:44] <Aero-Tec> will report on things as I find out more info
[18:17:50] <IchGuckLive> also they got the new pricelist out Autsch 10.000USD for the master release
[18:18:28] <IchGuckLive> Aero-Tec: sdid you remove all this junk lines from the g-code
[18:19:10] <Aero-Tec> I have in one version of the code
[18:19:21] <Aero-Tec> it did nothing
[18:19:31] <Aero-Tec> no change whatsoever
[18:19:44] <Aero-Tec> or that I noticed
[18:19:48] <IchGuckLive> are you on 2.4.3
[18:19:59] <Aero-Tec> 2.5 I think
[18:20:05] <Aero-Tec> will have to check
[18:20:19] <Aero-Tec> I know I updated the lathe, not sure of the mill
[18:20:32] <Aero-Tec> will check right now
[18:20:33] <IchGuckLive> NP
[18:20:49] <Aero-Tec> if not 2.5 I will update and see if that helps
[18:23:40] <Aero-Tec> so what is the latest lock down version?
[18:23:45] <Aero-Tec> 2.51?
[18:24:07] <Aero-Tec> lathe is 2.51, mill 2.46
[18:24:42] <IchGuckLive> http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/
[18:24:52] <IchGuckLive> why not up to date with 2.6.pre
[18:25:02] <Aero-Tec> would there be a big change in the way G64 and G93 work in the new version?
[18:25:49] <IchGuckLive> they are working all the time on it
[18:26:07] <Aero-Tec> would there not be more bugs in 2.6?
[18:26:26] <Aero-Tec> was thinking lock down would be more solid
[18:26:31] <IchGuckLive> not on your usige level
[18:26:50] <IchGuckLive> robot kinetic maybe
[18:27:15] <IchGuckLive> but you get some nice extras
[18:27:55] <Aero-Tec> after going through hell with mach and not knowing what was going to happen when I hit run or continue I am some what gun shy of anything that will or may go nuts and do it's own thing

[18:42:24] <Aero-Tec> could switch between them as needed
[18:42:45] <IchGuckLive> yes if you go for a git rep
[18:42:47] <Aero-Tec> If I try 2.6 would like to be able to go to 2.5 if needed
[18:43:23] <IchGuckLive> if you remove the ppa from source and then reinstrall via synaptic it goes back

[20:45:36] <andypugh> Potentiometer feedback and proportioning valves, it will all look perfectly conventional to LinuxCNC
[20:45:56] <andypugh> The potentiometer feedback is actually likely to be the most difficult part.

[22:59:13] <rob_h> well i now have a 4 axis powertooled lathe to retrofit after christmas :)
[22:59:19] <toastyde1th> that's awesome
[22:59:27] <r00t4rd3d> I got so much work to cnc for people its not funny
[22:59:28] <toastyde1th> 4 axis = two turret, or four axis = xyz + c
[22:59:33] <rob_h> two turrets
[23:00:21] <rob_h> at moments its a Index on spindle with pin lock, but thinkings i can servo that easy
[23:03:03] <rob_h> plus one of the fanucs on the mill deicded to die today so one other jogs to try and fix
[23:08:01] <JT-Shop> evening rob_h
[23:08:09] <rob_h> Hi there
[23:08:15] <rob_h> do u need some xmas work?
[23:08:18] <JT-Shop> hows it going
[23:08:28] <JT-Shop> I actually have some work in the shop
[23:09:28] <rob_h> not too bad here, never a dull day
[23:13:17] <JT-Shop> I'm reworking the plasma water table and putting the slats inside
[23:13:17] <rob_h> sounds fun
[23:13:17] <JT-Shop> http://imagebin.org/238865
[23:13:17] <jdh> did you cut the slat slots on the table?
[23:13:17] <JT-Shop> the water table was an add on after a few cuts lol
[23:13:17] <JT-Shop> on the back side or the slat supports?
[23:13:17] -!- skunkworks [skunkworks!~chatzilla@str-broadband-ccmts-ws-26.dsl.airstreamcomm.net] has joined #linuxcnc
[23:13:18] <jdh> I'm not sure what that means.
[23:13:18] <jdh> the slots in teh pieces
[23:13:42] <rob_h> are you sure u made it big enought tho? as u know u ways want that extra 1" for a job
[23:14:16] <JT-Shop> jdh: yes I milled the vertial slots in the slat supports
[23:14:37] <andypugh> First job for the water table, make the next set of slats...
[23:14:55] <jdh> they all look like slats to me, except for the outer frame
[23:14:57] <JT-Shop> I've had the water table for 4 years but the slats were above it
[23:18:29] <jdh> http://www.bidspotter.com/forms/staticitem.php?photo=15247649&gallery=20107
[23:19:26] <toastyde1th> you could make a water table like a turret punch
[23:19:38] <toastyde1th> no slats at all!
[23:20:33] <JT-Shop> cutting totally unneeded but aesthetically pleasing drain openings
http://imagebin.org/238974
[23:20:50] <JT-Shop> dunno what that looks like
[23:21:08] <toastyde1th> ?
[23:21:32] <JT-Shop> <toastyde1th> you could make a water table like a turret punch
[23:22:48] <toastyde1th> on a turret press/punch, the cutter stays still and the material moves
[23:22:49] <toastyde1th> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuIjIcgBPlY

[23:23:11] <toastyde1th> often they're integrated with lasers, too
[23:23:32] <toastyde1th> i'm pretty sure this one is
[23:24:20] <toastyde1th> nope, nvm
[23:25:59] <JT-Shop> I'm sure it would be more cost effective to continue down the path I'm on
[23:27:06] <toastyde1th> certainly less space
[23:28:56] <JT-Shop> while I'm not as challenged as archivist for space I don't have much left
[23:29:17] <rob_h> thats what u need next JT, a sheet loader, then u put ur feet up
[23:29:36] <JT-Shop> have to come through the wall...
[23:30:06] <rob_h> i dout it would be the first time done
[23:31:08] <rob_h> has any one ever converted a turret punch onto linuxcnc
[23:31:40] <JT-Shop> dunno
[23:32:04] <JT-Shop> I'd bet someone has somewhere in the world
[23:32:21] <rob_h> guys down road from us keep asking me about theres if its convertable
[23:32:36] <rob_h> as fanuc 6T is quite costly to keep fixing now days
[23:32:38] <JT-Shop> I don't see why not
[23:32:52] <JT-Shop> move to XY and punch right?
[23:32:54] <rob_h> now just the way u need to hit and move i guess
[23:33:22] <rob_h> yea thats easy just when u nibble need a cycle for it or something
[23:33:49] <toastyde1th> i'm pretty sure turret punches are too expensive to operate on a hobby scale
[23:34:01] <rob_h> im not talking hobby
[23:34:05] <toastyde1th> "hey guys look at my emc roll grinder"
[23:34:14] <toastyde1th> "pls implement crowning"
[23:34:43] <rob_h> every one needs a turret punch tho, keeps the neighbours happy at night
[23:34:52] <JT-Shop> lol
[23:35:57] <rob_h> or is that what a big power press is for
[23:36:11] <toastyde1th> forging hammer
[23:36:17] <toastyde1th> 5t drop weight
[23:36:43] <toastyde1th> that would be really funny to see an elctrohydraulic drop hammer on emc

[23:56:08] <toastyde1th> cool idea, except the laser level is unqualified

[23:59:49] <toastyde1th> the issue i have with that method is that once you have an appropriately qualified surface (which i argue his is not), you already have a faster and easier method to check flatness of parts
