[01:01:06] <Jymmm> has anyone seen a cheap or even plastic 3 jaw lathe chuck?
[01:01:46] <malcom2073> I saw someone 3d print one once....
[01:02:23] <malcom2073> Subsection 3.d. of rule 34: If it exists, it will be 3d printed.
[01:02:52] <Jymmm> I just something inexpensive, up to 1" would be Great. I can't use a drill chuck as itpushes things forward
[01:03:23] <malcom2073> Small chucks tend to be more expensive, though I've seen them at auctions for under $40

[01:03:50] <malcom2073> My dad picked one up for $10 off a guy who won a lot and didn't even want it, it was like a 5"
[01:04:23] <Jymmm> Good idea.
[01:04:48] <Jymmm> I really just need one for tiny parts
[01:04:56] <malcom2073> He was looking for something for a 4th axis, he's got a couple small onesnow
[01:05:09] <malcom2073> Oh you mean 1", like 1" total size, or 1" part size?
[01:05:32] <Jymmm> 1" part size would be fine
[01:06:07] <malcom2073> haha
[01:06:11] <malcom2073> horriblefreight has one: http://www.harborfreight.com/2-inch-mini-lathe-chuck-with-mt-1-shank-65132.html
[01:06:16] <Jymmm> I just need a glorified 1/2" drill chuck
[01:06:48] <andypugh> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Soba-70-mm-4-Jaw-Self-Centering-Scroll-lathe-Chuck-FROM-CHRONOS-/301316007966?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368
[01:07:09] <malcom2073> What is the purpose of a 4 jaw scroll chuck?
[01:07:14] <Jymmm> malcom2073: IT doesn't evne close in the pic =(
[01:07:17] <andypugh> I have no idea
[01:07:22] <_methods> 5c collet block
[01:07:25] <malcom2073> Lol yeah Jymmm, noticed that.
[01:07:49] <_methods> it's for sq parts
[01:07:57] <_methods> like a 3 jaw chuck for sq stuff
[01:08:01] <malcom2073> Oh
[01:08:03] <malcom2073> True
[01:08:04] <Jymmm> lol
[01:08:30] <malcom2073> How often is stuff truely square?
[01:08:58] <_methods> never that's why you use a 4 jaw scroll
[01:09:07] <_methods> it's hardly accurate
[01:09:10] <malcom2073> heh
[01:09:44] <malcom2073> So you use the 4 jaw to turn down square blocks, then stick it in the 3 jaw after it's round?
[01:09:46] <andypugh> I guess you clamp on two sides and have not too much wobble on the other two
[01:10:04] <_methods> no sometimes you just need to drill,tap a square bar
[01:10:09] <_methods> then part it off
[01:10:11] <Jymmm> malcom2073: look familure? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Precision-Machined-2-Steel-Mini-Lathe-Chuck-MT1-Shank-2-Chuck-Key-PLEASE-READ-/151514418400
[01:10:25] <malcom2073> Lawl Jymmm, I've been noticing a LOT of that lately
[01:10:35] <malcom2073> 23 sold though, it obviously works as a business model

[01:15:11] <malcom2073> I feel like I need to start ripping people off
[01:15:13] <malcom2073> I'd make more money
[01:15:40] <Jymmm> malcom2073: just offer them a shitty product at an inflated prices
[01:15:59] <malcom2073> I don't have any shitty products :/
[01:15:59] <Jymmm> then give them 40% off.... PROFIT!
[01:16:23] <Jymmm> malcom2073: you have a scrap bin, don't ya?
[01:16:38] <malcom2073> I write software
[01:16:44] <malcom2073> So.... sorta?
[01:17:00] <Jymmm> there ya go, pl buy shitty sw all the time.
[01:17:04] <Jymmm> ppl*
[01:17:18] <malcom2073> True story
[01:17:23] <malcom2073> I need to hire a marketing person

[01:17:26] <malcom2073> that'd do it
[01:17:34] <malcom2073> I'm too honest
[01:17:36] <malcom2073> marketing people aren't
[01:17:37] <Jymmm> yep
[01:17:42] <Jymmm> nope
[01:17:45] <malcom2073> I always charge too little
[01:18:27] <malcom2073> Ohhh
[01:18:32] <malcom2073> I should buy software and resell at inflated prices
[01:18:34] <malcom2073> that's legal, right?
[01:18:51] <Jymmm> as long as you dont read the EULA
[01:19:14] <Jymmm> bu then you wouldn't be the END USER now would you?
[01:19:18] <malcom2073> True
[01:19:30] <malcom2073> There's no MMLA (middle-man)
[01:19:53] <Jymmm> None that you agreed to anyway =)

[01:21:28] <malcom2073> lol
[01:21:31] <malcom2073> good luck

[01:33:27] <Tom_L> http://www.ebay.com/itm/231535370702
[01:33:34] <Tom_L> can those be used as a regular reamer
[01:33:45] <Tom_L> or what is their intended purpose?
[01:34:10] <_methods> they're adjustable reamers and they suck
[01:34:11] <andypugh> Adjustable reamers

[01:34:23] <andypugh> They have some uses
[01:34:40] <Tom_L> they wouldn't take the place of a regular reamer though right?
[01:34:53] <Tom_L> where do they 'shine' in life?
[01:35:06] <andypugh> But I think you need to buy either old ones or expensive ones. The cheap ones are useless
[01:35:07] <_methods> in a bind
[01:35:15] <Tom_L> heh
[01:35:40] <_methods> i've never had any luck with them
[01:36:00] <andypugh> The cheap sets have undersize squares
[01:36:15] <andypugh> And the blades rock and jam
[01:36:16] <Tom_L> i've seen them but never used one
[01:36:24] <Tom_L> i figured they probably would andypugh
[01:38:42] <_methods> every time i try using one they either screw up the bore or cut oversize
[01:38:45] <_methods> or jam
[01:38:56] <_methods> so i've pretty much just given up on them
[01:39:17] <_methods> if i need to ream anything at this point in life i just order the right sized reamer and wait
[01:40:33] -!- Tom_L has quit [Quit: Quit]
[01:42:11] <Tom_itx> _methods, so do i
[01:42:29] <Tom_itx> someone was asking and i didn't have experience with them
[01:42:58] <Tom_itx> i can get 2 or 3 used reamers for the price of a new one locally
[01:43:05] <andypugh> I tend to bore instead
[01:43:14] <Tom_itx> so i usually go to the used tool guy here and get what i need

[01:43:29] <Tom_itx> i don't have a good boring head
[01:43:34] <Tom_itx> or one at all :)
[01:43:41] <andypugh> I have two lovely ones
[01:43:53] <Tom_itx> i've used them but i don't own one
[01:44:13] <zeeshan|2> since you guys are talking about tools for finishing
[01:44:17] <Tom_itx> we bored holes in Ti for some landing gear mount holes
[01:44:17] <zeeshan|2> what about using this:
[01:44:39] <zeeshan|2> http://www.amain.com/images/medium/dre/dre407.jpg
[01:44:43] <zeeshan|2> attaching that to a spindle
[01:44:46] <zeeshan|2> to finish bores?
[01:44:49] <_methods> yeah i'll use a boring head for low qty run or something
[01:44:50] <zeeshan|2> on a mill
[01:45:07] <andypugh> Tom_itx: Here you are : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Whalhaupter-UPA-3-w-30-Taper-Removable-Shank-A-0835-5-/161283346832?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item258d3c9190
[01:45:18] <andypugh> I have one just like that :-)
[01:45:37] <_methods> wow that's sexy
[01:46:11] <zeeshan|2> sorry andypugh
[01:46:16] <_methods> i got a couple nice little criterion boring heads
[01:46:18] <zeeshan|2> i have to put your boring head down
[01:46:18] <zeeshan|2> ;[
[01:46:23] <andypugh> And I have a UPA 4 too.
[01:46:33] <zeeshan|2> still gotta put that down!

[01:48:03] <zeeshan|2> forward to 11:23
[01:49:38] <Tom_itx> andypugh that's quite similar to the one we used
[01:49:49] <Tom_itx> ours had a 'micrometer' dial on the side
[01:50:10] <andypugh> Stuart S has one (looking very unloved)
[01:50:35] <zeeshan|2> what would make a more precise hole
[01:50:42] <zeeshan|2> a boring head or circular interpolation
[01:50:47] <zeeshan|2> considering how accurate machines are these days

[01:51:52] <zeeshan|2> you beat me
[01:51:53] <zeeshan|2> ;[
[01:52:13] <andypugh> There is only one :-)
[01:52:16] <_methods> wow
[01:52:17] <_methods> wtf
[01:52:22] <zeeshan|2> andypugh: i think you have a boring head fetish
[01:52:24] <zeeshan|2> haha
[01:52:42] <_methods> that is a first
[01:52:46] <_methods> a cnc boring head
[01:54:23] <_methods> andypugh: wtf is that heating tube?
[01:54:25] <furrywolf> as fetishes go, that's pretty tame.

[01:55:36] <_methods> ahh i like that brass block for the wire payoff
[01:56:01] <andypugh> The tube is this: http://bodgesoc.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/heat-treatment-furnace.html
[01:56:37] <zeeshan|2> did you grind the gears
[01:56:39] <zeeshan|2> after heat treatment
[01:57:17] <andypugh> No. I don’t have the wherewithall
[01:57:27] <zeeshan|2> did you measure them before and after
[01:57:31] <zeeshan|2> like the diameter
[01:57:31] <andypugh> fixed URL for the borig-head motor: https://picasaweb.google.com/108164504656404380542/CNCUnsorted?noredirect=1#5685034302549414130
[01:57:34] <zeeshan|2> and face width
[01:58:21] <andypugh> EN8 is meant to not change shape much
[02:00:05] * furrywolf really needs to learn about alloys and heat treating one of these days
[02:00:16] <zeeshan|2> i have a book
[02:00:17] <zeeshan|2> if you want :P
[02:00:28] <zeeshan|2> but they all give you a bs answer
[02:00:35] <zeeshan|2> "shape is stable after heat treatment"
[02:00:43] <zeeshan|2> but they don't quantify it
[02:00:44] <zeeshan|2> :(
[02:00:49] <andypugh> EN8 doesn’t even exist any more.
[02:01:29] <zeeshan|2> well for example

[02:02:03] <zeeshan|2> id like to know how much it distorts :P
[02:02:16] <zeeshan|2> from what i understand, you just need to try it out and see
[02:04:42] <andypugh> But even though the specs were obsoleted 40 years ago, they are still in common use in the UK.

[02:05:57] <andypugh> The “EN” steel grades were “Emergency Numbers” from WW2. But folk got used to them. Possibly because higher-numbers = more expensive and “better"
[02:06:39] <andypugh> So I know that EN1A is mild steel, EN8 is decent quality steel and EN24 is a nice alloy steel for critical parts.
[02:06:55] <andypugh> http://www.roymech.co.uk/Useful_Tables/Matter/Strength_st.htm
[02:07:04] <_methods> andypugh: you converted a horizontal to cnc?
[02:07:20] <andypugh> It’s a Universal.
[02:07:24] <_methods> ahh
[02:07:31] <_methods> would you do it again?
[02:07:51] <andypugh> So CNC whether being a vertical, horizontal or hobbing machine.
[02:07:59] <andypugh> Yes, I am very happy with that machine.
[02:08:17] <andypugh> Though a faster spindle in Vertical mode would help.
[02:08:24] <zeeshan|2> how fast does it go
[02:08:31] <_methods> well there's an auction coming up with a couple horizontals i can probably grab for nothing
[02:08:45] <zeeshan|2> _methods: if you can get a verticle head for it
[02:08:47] <zeeshan|2> do it!

[02:08:51] <zeeshan|2> vertical
[02:09:05] <_methods> why.......
[02:09:15] <zeeshan|2> so you can do both?
[02:09:16] <_methods> i want it for horizontal not vertical
[02:09:25] <andypugh> Mine has the slow speed and the slow vertical adaptor, so 1000rpm. There were options of a 1500rpm base-speed and speed-up vertical to give 2500rpm which would be nicer.
[02:09:54] <zeeshan|2> you think overspeeding it to 5000
[02:09:57] <zeeshan|2> would cook the bearings?
[02:10:13] <andypugh> If you can get a horizontal with a swing-table then they hob gears very nicely with CNC
[02:10:23] <zeeshan|2> _methods: horizontal mode came useful: https://www.flickr.com/photos/128539016@N05/16047553003/
[02:10:28] <_methods> well i always hear people talking about waht a bad idea it is to convert an old manual
[02:10:29] <zeeshan|2> cause i wanted a curve
[02:10:39] <andypugh> The bearings get hot at 1000. I think I need to look at preloads and grease.
[02:11:23] <andypugh> _methods: You need the right old manual. :-)
[02:11:56] <_methods> well horizontals always seemed like good candidates to me
[02:12:04] <_methods> except the knee maybe
[02:12:17] <_methods> that might require some more effort to convert
[02:12:59] <_methods> last auction i went to i saw 2 horizontals go for $50/ea
[02:13:08] <andypugh> This is the gallery for mine: https://picasaweb.google.com/108164504656404380542/HarrisonMill
[02:13:14] <_methods> i know they had to be worth more in scrap
[02:13:53] <andypugh> I decided to do the job “right” with iron castings and decent servos.
[02:13:54] <zeeshan|2> that looks like a lot of work
[02:13:55] <zeeshan|2> :P

[02:17:03] <zeeshan|2> yep :(
[02:17:12] <PetefromTn_> That is a neat old mill fer sure
[02:17:26] <zeeshan|2> maybe i can build one
[02:17:28] <zeeshan|2> when i need it
[02:17:55] <_methods> PetefromTn_: you still want a rotab
[02:18:05] <_methods> how much you willing to pay
[02:18:12] * furrywolf needs a rotary table too
[02:18:13] <PetefromTn_> Yeah I guess if the price is right LOL
[02:18:18] <_methods> $800?
[02:18:21] <furrywolf> no
[02:18:31] <furrywolf> one too many zeroes for me.
[02:18:44] <zeeshan|2> im telling you furry
[02:18:46] <PetefromTn_> I am right in the middle of a project and it has taken me to reach into my pocket a bit
[02:18:48] <zeeshan|2> they are expensive!
[02:19:00] <_methods> well i'll see if i can grab a couple
[02:19:06] <_methods> i'll sit on it for you
[02:19:09] <zeeshan|2> PetefromTn_: what are you working on
[02:19:16] <_methods> but would you be cool with $800?
[02:19:26] <_methods> i think i can get one for less
[02:19:30] <andypugh> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271844612681 is rather cheap, and I think it’s SIP
[02:19:42] <PetefromTn_> If you can do that I am sure I could get the money to you eventually. Honestly it would depend on the unit and what it is.
[02:19:42] <_methods> there's 8 at the auction i'm going to
[02:20:00] <PetefromTn_> zeeshan|2 It's top Secret man ;)
[02:20:02] <zeeshan|2> _methods can i get cat40 holders?
[02:20:06] <furrywolf> I'm pretty well broke right now... between travelling to NJ, funeral costs, shipping of furniture, etc... and the people I work for forgot to pay anyone this week. "oops".
[02:20:11] <zeeshan|2> ;-)
[02:20:13] <_methods> you're a terrorist in canads
[02:20:16] <_methods> canada
[02:20:22] <_methods> i'm not giving you anything
[02:20:45] <PetefromTn_> Got someone coming in the morning to look at our house.
[02:20:53] <zeeshan|2> florida!
[02:21:04] <PetefromTn_> Spent most of the day cleaning and fixing stuff
[02:21:08] <andypugh> Time to sleep. Night all
[02:21:09] <PetefromTn_> Exactly!
[02:21:16] <_methods> we're mainly trying to get the keyseater
[02:21:17] -!- andypugh has quit [Quit: andypugh]
[02:21:17] <zeeshan|2> cya and
[02:21:18] <PetefromTn_> GN8 andy
[02:21:21] <_methods> but i'll grab what i can
[02:21:39] <_methods> i'm hopin to get a couple rotabs
[02:21:43] <_methods> and the keyseater
[02:21:46] <zeeshan|2> ive been looking out for 2 .75" cat40 shell mill holders
[02:21:52] <zeeshan|2> and 2 .75" end mill holders
[02:21:53] <zeeshan|2> ;/
[02:21:54] <PetefromTn_> _methods If you want I can get you my number and you can text me what you are looking at.
[02:22:02] <_methods> i don't really look at that stuff
[02:22:05] <_methods> k
[02:22:26] <zeeshan|2> man a dividing head went locally along with some other shit on a pallet
[02:22:27] <zeeshan|2> for $200
[02:22:32] <PetefromTn_> I have a 3/4 face mill/shell mill arbor.
[02:22:33] <zeeshan|2> i missed out on it
[02:22:38] <zeeshan|2> PetefromTn_: !
[02:22:44] <zeeshan|2> need a .5"?
[02:22:48] <zeeshan|2> =D
[02:22:59] <PetefromTn_> you just said .75?
[02:23:07] <zeeshan|2> yes, i have 2 .5"
[02:23:08] <zeeshan|2> and
[02:23:09] <zeeshan|2> 1.25"
[02:23:11] <furrywolf> the auctions here never have machine tools, because no one here has machine tools.
[02:23:12] <zeeshan|2> none of which i need
[02:23:17] <zeeshan|2> in mint condition
[02:23:26] <zeeshan|2> wondering if you could use those
[02:23:29] <_methods> lol
[02:23:33] <PetefromTn_> Oh you are asking if I need the .5..
[02:23:40] <_methods> there are like 8 auctions in california this week alone
[02:23:41] <roycroft> i just finished tapping the other 16 holes without incident
[02:23:44] <PetefromTn_> no honestly not really
[02:23:47] <roycroft> that's 32 in a row with the same tap
[02:23:48] <zeeshan|2> doh ;p
[02:23:57] <roycroft> before i changed brands i was breaking a tap every other hole or so
[02:24:04] <_methods> osg
[02:24:08] <PetefromTn_> I am working on a tough project right now...
[02:24:09] <roycroft> i like not breaking taps
[02:24:30] <_methods> only taps i use anymore
[02:24:41] <PetefromTn_> I gotta machine some large pockets that taper to tight corners with an 1/8 inch endmill.
[02:24:45] <_methods> i'd rather pay than chip out pieces of taps
[02:25:03] <PetefromTn_> its a radiused tip endmill
[02:25:06] <roycroft> it's hard to chip out bits of a 4-40 tap
[02:25:11] <PetefromTn_> and the material is Cast Iron..
[02:25:20] <roycroft> no edm here
[02:25:21] <_methods> yeah that's helicoil time lol
[02:25:25] <PetefromTn_> trying to find a good feed and speed for that.
[02:25:30] <_methods> 1/4" carbide endmill
[02:25:36] <_methods> and helicoil lol
[02:25:37] <zeeshan|2> what material?
[02:25:42] <PetefromTn_> Cast Iron
[02:25:45] <zeeshan|2> haha
[02:25:45] <zeeshan|2> haha
[02:25:46] <PetefromTn_> unfortunately
[02:25:47] <zeeshan|2> :-)
[02:25:53] <roycroft> the parts are only 0.20" thick
[02:26:00] <roycroft> a 1/2" carbide endmill would not do well for me
[02:26:03] <zeeshan|2> PetefromTn_: do you follow fswizard?
[02:26:06] <roycroft> er, 1/4"
[02:26:07] <PetefromTn_> I am gonna need to go .125 deep or so helical in
[02:26:07] <_methods> damn no helicoil then lol
[02:26:15] <zeeshan|2> ive been following it
[02:26:20] <zeeshan|2> and reducing by 75%
[02:26:23] <zeeshan|2> and seems to be fine for me
[02:26:24] <furrywolf> grrr. why is downloading music so hard? I'm looking for the album "Really?" by "The Hundred Days" and "Until The World Is Beautiful" by "The Prids"...
[02:26:26] <roycroft> if the parts were thicker i'd use bigger screws
[02:26:27] <PetefromTn_> then kinda light engagement full dept on the whole pocket
[02:26:48] <PetefromTn_> I use it but not that much really
[02:26:49] <roycroft> there seems to be a huge difference in the ease of tapping a 4-40 hole and a 6-32 hole without incident
[02:27:06] <PetefromTn_> most of the parts I make are aluminum and I have good feeds and speeds info that I kinda stick to.
[02:27:26] <_methods> yeah 4-40 is tiny
[02:27:30] <_methods> easy to break

[02:27:32] <zeeshan|2> PetefromTn_: to get a feel
[02:27:34] <PetefromTn_> what would you guys recommend for that cut
[02:27:37] <zeeshan|2> if you using a 3/8 end mill
[02:27:39] <furrywolf> I've never tapped a 4-40 hole... I think 6-32 is the smallest I've done.
[02:27:47] <zeeshan|2> and you're slotting, whats your feed and speed?
[02:27:52] <zeeshan|2> (for aluminum)_
[02:27:55] <zeeshan|2> and doc
[02:27:56] <_methods> what are you doing PetefromTn_
[02:27:59] <roycroft> 6-32 is like go slow and be careful
[02:28:05] <_methods> pocket?
[02:28:12] <roycroft> 4-40 is like breathe too hard and it's broken
[02:28:15] <_methods> you're having problems with a cast iron pocket?
[02:28:17] <roycroft> or look at it too hard
[02:28:37] <PetefromTn_> well I am cutting 1/8 inch radiused tip endmill in cast iron making a large pocket with tight corners requiring the 1/8 endmill
[02:28:53] <roycroft> and i've tapped about 200 4-40 holes for this project
[02:28:54] <PetefromTn_> .125 deep or so
[02:28:59] <_methods> are you just restmilling with the 1/8" mill?
[02:29:09] <_methods> or are you trying to do the whole pocket with it
[02:29:12] <zeeshan|2> i do full axial doc, .003ipt chipload, 300sfm (max speed my machine can handle)
[02:29:16] <roycroft> all blind, all 0.500" deep
[02:29:17] <PetefromTn_> and I am trying to program a full depth pass with a helical in
[02:29:17] <zeeshan|2> for aluminum
[02:29:42] <zeeshan|2> works out to like 38ipm for a 4 flute
[02:29:48] <PetefromTn_> Honeslty I don't want to just finish with the endmill but I may have to
[02:30:08] <_methods> well i try to use the biggest end mill i can
[02:30:13] <furrywolf> how slow of reversing will linuxcnc put up with for rigid tapping? I plan on only having software spindle on/off on my shoptask, no reversing, so it'd need to stop, let me manually flip the reverse switch, start, back out of the hole, then stop and let me reverse manually again.
[02:30:15] <_methods> for roughing
[02:30:26] <_methods> then finish with small stuff
[02:30:27] -!- sumpfralle [sumpfralle!~lars@v22014112486721426.yourvserver.net] has joined #linuxcnc
[02:30:37] <_methods> how many parts?
[02:30:40] <PetefromTn_> Zeeshan I usually run the 3/8 endmill as fast as I can which is around 5500 RPM at about 40 IPM full DOC whenever possible
[02:30:48] <zeeshan|2> nice
[02:30:50] <zeeshan|2> so we're kinda close
[02:30:53] <zeeshan|2> just less sfm
[02:30:55] <zeeshan|2> for me..
[02:30:59] <PetefromTn_> Well honestly this is a prototype
[02:31:11] <_methods> oh one off?
[02:31:16] <PetefromTn_> so right now it is just one but if it works out we will be making a bunch of them.
[02:31:20] <_methods> shit just go slow and git'r done
[02:31:25] <zeeshan|2> do you have .125 carbide?
[02:31:34] <PetefromTn_> I know but I gotta be able to reproduce
[02:31:35] <zeeshan|2> or hss
[02:31:46] <PetefromTn_> yeah .125 Tialn Coated Carbide
[02:31:51] <PetefromTn_> Maritool cutters
[02:32:03] <zeeshan|2> i guess 2 flute
[02:32:06] <_methods> how big is the pocket?
[02:32:21] <PetefromTn_> Right now the face of this part is almost two hours run time as far as the simulator goes.
[02:32:49] <PetefromTn_> its a funky shaped pocket that is several square inches in total with alot of tight areas.
[02:33:06] <zeeshan|2> whats the max rpm of your machine
[02:33:09] <_methods> well i'd definitely rough it out with a larger mill
[02:33:16] <_methods> that will cut your time
[02:33:43] <PetefromTn_> I have some 3/8 inch YSJ or whatever those are called I can use.
[02:33:59] <PetefromTn_> There use will be quite limited due to the shapes and tightness of the pockets.
[02:34:00] <_methods> ysj?
[02:34:04] <zeeshan|2> yg1?!
[02:34:06] <zeeshan|2> sex
[02:34:07] <PetefromTn_> Yeah
[02:34:17] <PetefromTn_> sorry my brain is unplugged
[02:34:24] <_methods> real yg1 or ghetto ebay knockoff
[02:34:25] <zeeshan|2> i was raping 304 ss with it
[02:34:39] <PetefromTn_> says Yg1 on the package ;)
[02:34:44] <zeeshan|2> i love how the cutting edge is sharp on them
[02:34:45] <_methods> heheh
[02:34:51] <zeeshan|2> feels sharper than china end mills
[02:35:05] <_methods> yeah rough it with the biggest mill you can
[02:35:11] <PetefromTn_> my experience with them has been nothing but positive
[02:35:21] -!- archivist_herron has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
[02:35:24] <_methods> leave .02" on the walls and floor
[02:35:35] <_methods> and then finish it all out with the small one
[02:35:48] <_methods> that way you don't have to worry about blend lines
[02:35:57] <zeeshan|2> PetefromTn_: im feeling .125 axial doc, .030" radial doc, 5500 rpm, 3.5 ipm
[02:36:04] <_methods> still won't be as fast as doing a rough mill/rest mill
[02:36:04] <zeeshan|2> for the 1/8
[02:36:10] <PetefromTn_> the biggest problem is I don't want to be pussy footing around with the 1/8 endmill in the tight areas and no matter what I do there will be places where it will be full slot
[02:36:24] <zeeshan|2> ;[
[02:36:46] <_methods> drill out the corners
[02:37:05] <_methods> just stay .01"+ off the wall
[02:37:06] <PetefromTn_> honestly I have had to make a very precise drawing from scratch and spent a bunch of time on it. Just finished a fixture today for it and gotta make the cuts tomorrow after we show the house.
[02:37:21] <zeeshan|2> vacuum the chips!
[02:37:29] <PetefromTn_> yeah that is the other issue.
[02:37:33] <zeeshan|2> lube just makes it worse
[02:37:39] <zeeshan|2> shit chunks up in there
[02:37:40] <PetefromTn_> I want to do that but I hear coolant is best.
[02:37:58] <zeeshan|2> mist would be best
[02:38:08] <PetefromTn_> No idea what to do for speeds and feeds really.
[02:38:26] <zeeshan|2> pete those specs i gave you
[02:38:33] <zeeshan|2> i machined o-ring grooves with those specs
[02:38:47] <_methods> just read the datasheet for your end mill
[02:38:49] <zeeshan|2> 2" diameter by 1/8" wide
[02:38:56] <zeeshan|2> and 70% of 1/8" deep
[02:39:02] <zeeshan|2> and had no issues
[02:39:11] <zeeshan|2> but i was doing full width of cut

[02:40:05] <Tom_itx> bull nose
[02:40:24] <zeeshan|2> i personally think 4 flute is a bad idea
[02:40:27] <zeeshan|2> not saying it wont work
[02:40:32] <zeeshan|2> just more cutting force
[02:40:32] <Tom_itx> why?
[02:40:35] <PetefromTn_> yeah its sort of a bullnose
[02:40:36] <zeeshan|2> the one that tries to break your end mill
[02:40:52] <_methods> heh no cutting data nice
[02:41:20] <zeeshan|2> Tom_itx: 2 flute cutter 80lb feed force vs 4 flute cutter ~160lb feed force -- more deflection of cutter
[02:41:22] <zeeshan|2> higher chance of breaking
[02:41:36] <zeeshan|2> especially if your exit and entry isnt right
[02:41:44] <Tom_itx> i wouldn't use a 2flute in steel
[02:41:53] <zeeshan|2> steel is a different story :p
[02:41:57] <PetefromTn_> I bought six of them just in case ;)
[02:42:04] <_methods> http://www.niagaracutter.com/solidcarbide/speedfeed.html

[02:43:22] <_methods> you looking at cast iron
[02:43:22] <PetefromTn_> 80-140
[02:43:27] <_methods> says 100-400
[02:43:29] <zeeshan|2> i see 80-140 :)
[02:43:29] <furrywolf> zeeshan|2: I doubt most of what I want is available in stores.
[02:43:37] <furrywolf> we only have one music store left, and it sucks.
[02:43:43] <_methods> that's over 32
[02:43:43] <PetefromTn_> yeah its apparently a tougher cast iron
[02:43:53] <_methods> is it over 32 hrc
[02:43:58] <PetefromTn_> no idea
[02:44:02] <zeeshan|2> probably :P
[02:44:06] <_methods> probably not
[02:44:10] * zeeshan|2 works on exhaust manifolds
[02:44:12] <zeeshan|2> they are hard as shit
[02:44:32] <Tom_itx> maybe they're work hardened too
[02:44:34] <PetefromTn_> it says add 60-100 percent for Tialn
[02:44:40] <furrywolf> I need to replace the exhaust manifold on my truck... I managed to find one (not easy!), but it's going to be a project to get the old one off.
[02:44:54] <zeeshan|2> furrywolf: lots of heat
[02:44:54] <zeeshan|2> !
[02:45:06] <_methods> well go to the low side then
[02:45:06] <PetefromTn_> not exhaust manifolds
[02:45:08] <zeeshan|2> and imean oxy acetylene heat
[02:45:13] <zeeshan|2> not propane heat
[02:45:18] <zeeshan|2> mapp gas works too
[02:45:28] <Rab> furrywolf, tighten bolts/studs slightly before loosening.
[02:45:32] <furrywolf> they don't sell mapp anymore. heh.
[02:45:33] <_methods> go with 100sfm and .0005"
[02:45:52] <_methods> and if it's going good crank it up
[02:46:19] <zeeshan|2> i think youll be fine at 180sfm
[02:46:23] <zeeshan|2> especially with tialn
[02:46:25] <PetefromTn_> this will be .125 deep or so and full width in places. Mostly it will be helical down to depth and then say 10 percent or less engagement on side
[02:47:00] <PetefromTn_> but you gotta get to depth and make the first slot pass to get there
[02:47:31] <furrywolf> after 47 years of exhaust temperature, the nuts and the studs have become one.

[02:48:41] <zeeshan|2> the one truck that will always snap bolts no matter what
[02:48:43] <zeeshan|2> is the ford 150
[02:48:59] <zeeshan|2> you can find replacement stud kits for them at almost any part store for that reason :)
[02:49:00] <PetefromTn_> whew glad I got a Bronco then hehe
[02:49:16] <furrywolf> many nissans will snap the manifold bolts randomly, just driving.
[02:49:25] <zeeshan|2> really?
[02:49:29] <zeeshan|2> the sr20 240sx motor
[02:49:35] <zeeshan|2> they use some serious stuff for the turbo manifolds

[02:55:12] <furrywolf> bah, time to pull the woofer from my pioneer. it's gone from an occasional rattle to mostly dead with occasional pops of life.
[02:55:14] <zeeshan|2> using .001 steps
[02:55:18] <zeeshan|2> (scallops)
[02:55:20] <zeeshan|2> 1 hour!!!
[02:55:25] <zeeshan|2> thats a 2" diameter hole
[02:55:41] <furrywolf> try .010 instead. :P
[02:55:44] <zeeshan|2> haha
[02:55:45] <furrywolf> or larger
[02:55:49] <PetefromTn_> zeeshan|2 What material would be comparable in FSwizard to the ductile cast iron?
[02:56:10] <furrywolf> and use a bullnose endmill
[02:57:17] <_methods> ive machined a lot of cast and never had an issue
[02:57:43] <PetefromTn_> FSWizard is saying 5500 RPM and 5.6IPM????
[02:58:05] <zeeshan|2> PetefromTn_: cast iron 250-260 bhn
[02:58:07] <zeeshan|2> if you think its hard
[02:58:34] <zeeshan|2> PetefromTn_: i dont fully trust fswizard
[02:58:37] <PetefromTn_> Good Lord that is slow
[02:58:55] <zeeshan|2> what is it saying for tool deflection
[02:58:56] <zeeshan|2> on the right
[02:59:01] <zeeshan|2> and cutting force
[02:59:17] <_methods> yeah sorry i dont even know what fswizard is
[02:59:30] <zeeshan|2> fswizard i think grabs its data from what people have used

[02:59:46] <zeeshan|2> haha
[02:59:47] <zeeshan|2> thats nothing
[02:59:55] <zeeshan|2> i hope by cutting force they mean feed force.
[03:00:18] <zeeshan|2> .0003 in perfect
[03:00:34] <zeeshan|2> that width of cut is pretty weak though, you want that at 100% cause you're slotting
[03:00:44] <zeeshan|2> (maybe you can change it in your g-code while you slot)
[03:01:27] <PetefromTn_> Slot it says the same thing actually
[03:01:36] <zeeshan|2> what does it sayu for cutting force
[03:01:38] <zeeshan|2> and deflection though
[03:01:47] <zeeshan|2> smaller cutters are really limited by that

[03:02:09] <zeeshan|2> too much
[03:02:14] <PetefromTn_> yup
[03:02:26] <zeeshan|2> youll be okay with that, but theres no give
[03:02:32] <zeeshan|2> a sudden change in cutting forces and itll snap
[03:02:37] <zeeshan|2> .001" deflection is safer
[03:03:28] * zeeshan|2 isn't trying to bullshit, me just took a course and saw a lot of this stuff from a physics and experimental work perspective, and realized i didnt know crap!
[03:03:29] <PetefromTn_> I think I am gonna have to gut it out with a 3/8 and then come back with the 1/8 bullnose and finish the pocket being careful in the corners.
[03:03:41] <zeeshan|2> PetefromTn_: in your cam
[03:03:46] <zeeshan|2> do you have a tool path called "plunge"
[03:03:57] <PetefromTn_> huh?
[03:03:58] <zeeshan|2> instead of going sideways with the milling cutter
[03:04:02] <zeeshan|2> go straight down
[03:04:12] <zeeshan|2> you can hog a lot of material like that
[03:04:17] <PetefromTn_> I usually drill for that.
[03:04:42] <zeeshan|2> well you cant drill something
[03:04:43] <zeeshan|2> at the edge
[03:04:50] <zeeshan|2> unless you have a drill bushing
[03:04:51] <PetefromTn_> I am gonna play with the 3/8 pocket and then come back with the 1/8 endmill tomorrow morning.

[03:05:40] <_methods> thats 100sfm .0005/tooth
[03:06:00] <PetefromTn_> I was also thinking I would screw around with this test piece manually tomorrow on the machine testing feeds and speeds...

[03:08:41] <PetefromTn_> I had a piece fly out a couple weeks ago due to not holding it carefully enough. Scared the crap out of my wife when she heard the BANG.

[03:09:18] <PetefromTn_> hehe
[03:09:24] <PetefromTn_> yeah right
[03:09:33] <furrywolf> any way to repair a bad tinsel without cutting off the perfect, dent-free dust cap?
[03:09:33] <PetefromTn_> I WISH I had 12k
[03:09:42] <_methods> heheh

[03:10:34] <PetefromTn_> Hell if I had that I would not be doing this shit LOL
[03:10:37] <zeeshan|2> that looks like a 3/8 end mill
[03:10:41] <zeeshan|2> and that looks like steel.
[03:11:16] <PetefromTn_> Mastercam is the Shiznit.
[03:11:33] <zeeshan|2> well i dont understand
[03:11:39] <zeeshan|2> how they can run like 3 times the feed
[03:11:46] <zeeshan|2> okay part of it is the high rpm
[03:11:57] <zeeshan|2> but still that explains half of it
[03:12:07] <zeeshan|2> maybe its to do with cutting forces?
[03:13:12] <PetefromTn_> When I work in the other shops they have Mastercam and I have used their high speed toolpaths quite a bit. It is most impressive.

[03:18:07] <zeeshan|2> you know youre milling it fast
[03:18:12] <zeeshan|2> when it comes out in big ass chips like that
[03:18:14] <zeeshan|2> and not a powder!
[03:19:04] <zeeshan|2> thats like a $1000 chunk of cast iron
[03:19:05] <zeeshan|2> isnt it
[03:19:26] <PetefromTn_> dunno
[03:19:34] <PetefromTn_> wouldn't think so..
[03:19:42] <PetefromTn_> isn't it pretty cheap usually
[03:19:52] <zeeshan|2> well i know the rounds
[03:19:56] <zeeshan|2> are much more expensive than steel
[03:19:57] * zeeshan|2 checks
[03:20:03] <PetefromTn_> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbwrmjxN8-w
[03:21:30] <furrywolf> I guess I'm going to have to cut off the dust cap, but if I do that and poke the tinsel through the cone again, it'll be too short... so first step is ordering a roll of tinsel.

[03:22:29] <zeeshan|2> youre right
[03:22:31] <zeeshan|2> it is cheaper
[03:22:36] <zeeshan|2> not sure why i thought it was more expensive
[03:23:39] <PetefromTn_> I know the first shop I worked in made a bunch of cast plate parts but I was not involved in that stuff while I was there.
[03:23:52] <zeeshan|2> dude that hogger
[03:23:54] <zeeshan|2> is raping the cast iron
[03:23:55] <zeeshan|2> wow
[03:23:55] <PetefromTn_> they said it was a lot cheaper and more stable than plate steel..
[03:24:18] <PetefromTn_> yeah makes me wonder if I should try my 3/8 hogger on this project
[03:24:27] <zeeshan|2> i would!
[03:24:31] <zeeshan|2> after seeing that video
[03:24:39] <furrywolf> do I want 1ft for $5, plenty for one speaker, or 10ft for $13? lol
[03:25:10] <zeeshan|2> PetefromTn_: thumb of rule 1% of diameter of cutter = max deflection you want for carbide
[03:25:11] <PetefromTn_> Well thanks guys I am gonna hit the sack so I can get up and get some more work done on the house before we show it tomorrow afternoon.
[03:25:22] <zeeshan|2> so that 3/8 can do some serious damage :d

[03:34:05] <renesis> furrywolf: its probably not linear cone travel
[03:34:31] <renesis> and old speakers tend to be simple motor designs with not the greatest soft parts
[03:34:49] <renesis> like, theile small parameters and most testing were done at 1 watt
[03:35:19] <renesis> and they didnt have any easy ways to test for non linearities versus amplitude, so they didnt try very hard
[03:35:56] <furrywolf> yep. but it's still impressive. I didn't expect it.
[03:35:58] <renesis> like, everything is better now
[03:36:46] <furrywolf> I'm happy it's fixable... was expecting a bad voice coil, but it's just a broken tinsel at the cone. ordering some tinsel now.
[03:36:57] <renesis> i didnt read far enough up to see problem
[03:37:11] <renesis> tinsel leads are the hardest part of speakers =\
[03:38:09] <furrywolf> I've repaired a couple... the hardest part is trying to make it not look like fucking shit. you have to cut off the nice perfect factory-clean dust cap...
[03:38:32] <renesis> to long and they slap or jumprope or even short, too short and they can add non-linearityor even rock the cone enough to eventually crash shit
[03:38:40] <renesis> whatever make it look like shit
[03:38:55] <renesis> in dev we usually cover the connector ends in RTV or similar
[03:39:26] <furrywolf> most RTV releases acetic acid and corrodes copper. never use hardware store rtv on wiring.
[03:39:33] <renesis> also they dont always route like that
[03:39:53] <renesis> dunno we have some clear silicone shit, never been a problem
[03:40:07] <furrywolf> it's good quality tinsel... feels like silver wire on cotton core. just fatigued with age and use.
[03:40:29] <renesis> well yeah it all dies
[03:40:46] <furrywolf> I don't see any copper color on the ends... might actually be solid silver not just tinned.
[03:40:47] <renesis> when the ones wozen into the spiders go it gets pretty dramatic

[03:41:13] <renesis> the stich tacked ones are drama, too
[03:41:47] <furrywolf> I'm going to buy 5ft, since I have a speaker in storage that needs tinsel too. it broke, I soldered it, it broke again, I soldered it again, then it was too short. heh.
[03:42:04] <renesis> heh, a friend did one with like beryllium copper spiral spider thing
[03:42:21] <renesis> like, the spider was the tinsel, kinda
[03:42:46] <norias> spiders and tinsel
[03:42:54] <norias> what kinda weirdo stuff are ya'll doing?
[03:43:00] <renesis> well no tinself because conductive spider

[03:43:11] <renesis> ya
[03:43:39] * renesis hangs dancy blinky ghosts with sound effects
[03:44:35] <renesis> furrywolf: also you can heatshrink the ends
[03:45:13] <renesis> soldering can be problematic because itll wick up the tinself and create a local stress point at the end of the soldered section
[03:45:31] <furrywolf> I hate cutting perfect dust caps. when they're beat up or pushed in, whatever... but this one is 40 years old and looks like it just came off the factory floor.
[03:46:15] <renesis> like stranded core wire, but worse, so you can put heatshrink a bit past the solder joint and it helps insrease the bend radius there, reduce the stress
[03:46:43] <renesis> dunno furry if cut probably hundreds of speakers with blades
[03:46:48] <renesis> its kinda fun
[03:47:08] <renesis> i dont hesitate when i know its time, seems to make some people uncomfortable
[03:47:51] <furrywolf> I might have to try carefully brushing acetone around the edges and seeing if I can unglue it. :P
[03:48:17] <renesis> would avoid
[03:48:37] <renesis> are you getting replacement dustcaps?
[03:48:50] <renesis> could just cut the centers out of these and glue a slightly larger one on
[03:49:09] <furrywolf> hell no. I'm spending as little money as possible.
[03:49:41] <renesis> if you get most of the original off it wont change the moving mass enough to matter, and besides that the theille small parameters probably all drifted anyway
[03:49:45] <renesis> oh
[03:49:59] <renesis> its a hard dusctcap? non permeable?
[03:50:04] <furrywolf> to give you an idea of my cheapness, my car has a speaker with a broken poly cone... split clean from the voice coil to the surround... repaired with polybond epoxy. :P
[03:50:09] <renesis> if its not a vented pole you can just remove it
[03:50:31] <furrywolf> (door speaker; someone put their foot through it)

[04:14:17] <renesis> why dont you just use scroll wheel like everyone else
[04:14:51] <renesis> thge prids got a cool drummer
[04:15:07] <furrywolf> reading spotify's web page, it seems their "offline mode" only works with select devices, requires "syncing", is only available for certain songs, and has limits, like only 30 days? how the hell do they call it a download if it self-destructs after 30 days, and what kind of drm does it take to fuck up like that?
[04:15:31] <renesis> does it do that? because thats kind of cool
[04:15:45] <furrywolf> https://support.spotify.com/us/learn-more/guides/#!/article/Listen-offline/
[04:15:56] <renesis> not like i undownload shit and i dont exactly want some random album i synced for a trip 2 months ago eating my phone space
[04:16:19] <furrywolf> "You can sync a maximum of 3,333 songs per device and stay offline for up to 30 days."
[04:16:46] <renesis> its a streaming service, the ui is kind of their product, theres things can be better, i liked mog radio better but this is pretty good
[04:16:55] <renesis> and i can take streamed music with me, thats pretty cool
[04:17:09] <renesis> like i said, its renting, but at 3 albums a day, its like .10/album
[04:17:14] <furrywolf> I don't intend on using their UI. from what I can find googling, it doesn't WINE at a level acceptable for use.
[04:17:24] <furrywolf> and it's evil.
[04:17:24] <renesis> so use the web thinger
[04:17:44] <renesis> it delivers me music cheap and it works with my sonos stuff
[04:17:53] <renesis> *my, talk like a pirat =\
[04:18:10] <renesis> you prob think sonos is evil for some reason
[04:18:19] <renesis> it has lunix inside!
[04:18:28] <furrywolf> does it actually require facebook, or are they just pushing facebook?
[04:18:32] <furrywolf> I have no idea what a sonos is.
[04:19:38] <renesis> its like you havent used the interb in 5 years, you can just make a non facebook login
[04:20:26] <renesis> sonos are streaming active speakers, they have embedded linux and wifi radios, you control them with smartphones or computers, but theyre standalone network devices
[04:20:35] <furrywolf> "Got a new phone? Or lost one? You may want to remove a device you use for offline listening, since you can only have 3 at a time." ... there is something very fishy if they can limit how many devices you can copy files to.
[04:20:47] <renesis> ?
[04:21:01] <renesis> well because they dont want 1000 people listening on one account
[04:22:17] <renesis> anyway its an on demand streaming service, the fact that you can listen to stuff offline is pretty cool
[04:22:28] <furrywolf> I mean, what technology are they using? they claim it's just ogg files, but ogg files can be copied with no problems.
[04:22:39] <renesis> they just encrypt it
[04:23:10] <renesis> maybe not even the whole file, dunno the details
[04:23:24] <furrywolf> so it's not going to play in my car, which makes it highly useless.
[04:24:53] <furrywolf> if it's not going to give me a standards-compliant file I can directly copy to a usb drive or transcode and then copy, it's useless.
[04:25:25] <furrywolf> from what I can tell reading their page, their offline mode still requires a device that can run their proprietary player?
[04:26:40] <renesis> you dont have a smartass phone or a tablet?
[04:26:58] <renesis> yes everything is attached to their player
[04:27:10] <furrywolf> 1) no. 2) there's no cell coverage.
[04:27:35] <furrywolf> and I drive for a living, with my vehicle being my primary music listening location.
[04:27:55] <renesis> tablets are usually wifi, anyway i dont think spotify is for you
[04:28:06] <renesis> i dont like the prids vocalist
[04:28:38] <renesis> could leave the vocals and guitars, bass is cool
[04:28:44] <furrywolf> I don't know if I like them much or not. only heard one song of theirs. usually when I hear a song that suggests a band might have promise, I download a whole album and give it a listen.
[04:29:00] <furrywolf> if you like bass, I just got an album from Breakdown Valentine... you might like it.
[04:29:30] <renesis> the hundred days hard pans
[04:29:37] <renesis> fuck that, making me think im deaf
[04:29:56] <renesis> this reminds me of blur or something
[04:30:27] <furrywolf> heh, the answer to one of their faqs includes "Spotify is a streaming service offering ad-supported or subscription-based access to over 30 million tracks. There's no way to export that content outside of Spotify"
[04:30:45] <renesis> i just spdif loopback
[04:30:48] <roycroft> i buy cds and rip them
[04:30:54] <roycroft> no problem with standards compliance
[04:31:02] <roycroft> or internet connections
[04:31:11] <norias> fuck it
[04:31:17] <norias> i'm going to start pirating records
[04:31:24] <renesis> id have to get out the usb dvdrw for that
[04:31:50] <norias> i bet i could make a record pressing machine
[04:31:50] <roycroft> i get live stuff off dime and archive
[04:32:17] <renesis> norias: heh
[04:32:27] <renesis> this would probably be the only chan that could
[04:33:09] <furrywolf> Breakdown Valentine is the best random download I've done lately.
[04:33:11] <norias> i've honestly considered it
[04:33:13] <renesis> should make a vinul cutter driven by a 16b 44.1 dac to troll all the vinyl nuts
[04:33:22] <furrywolf> lol
[04:33:26] <norias> well, making vinyl cutting machines
[04:33:36] <norias> because i read that folks that make records
[04:33:42] <norias> can't buy new machines anymore
[04:33:49] <renesis> theyre mostly gone
[04:33:52] <norias> so they are scavaging parts from the machines that exist
[04:34:10] <norias> tempting to call one of those record companies up
[04:34:13] <renesis> the big ones, you can get little boutique ones but i dont think theyre as good
[04:34:17] <norias> and just offer to make them parts
[04:34:35] <renesis> prob too late
[04:34:36] <norias> i.e. give me a broken sample part and i make you parts when you need them
[04:34:44] <renesis> im sure the machines left are pretty looked after
[04:34:46] <norias> but i sell parts to everyone else, too
[04:35:01] <norias> could be
[04:35:02] <roycroft> back as recently as the '70s there were booths you could rent and cut a one-off record
[04:35:10] <roycroft> i bet some of that gear is still floating around
[04:35:20] <renesis> i dont think it was the same material tho
[04:35:29] <roycroft> it was kind of like a photo booth - you go inside, stuff your money in the slot, and start playing
[04:35:30] <renesis> thats like a dub plate machine, they dont last
[04:35:38] <renesis> few dozen uses
[04:35:56] <roycroft> a cnc mill with a rotary table would work
[04:36:06] <renesis> i dont think so
[04:36:07] <norias> eh...
[04:36:12] <norias> yeah, i doubt it
[04:36:16] <renesis> maybe with a lever reduction
[04:36:35] <norias> look in to the shape of the grooves
[04:36:41] <renesis> haha @ testing the THD and IMD of a CNC machines response
[04:36:43] <norias> they are actually pretty interesting
[04:36:45] <renesis> tune that shit!
[04:37:03] <norias> speaking of which
[04:37:09] <norias> anyone ever mess with blueswarf?
[04:37:30] <norias> http://www.amazon.com/BlueSwarf-MetalMax-Milling-Optimization-Kit/dp/B00HRVER68
[04:37:31] <norias> kit
[04:37:33] <furrywolf> wtf? why do they require you to set up port forwarding on your router? are they doing some p2p crap to save bandwidth?

[04:37:59] <norias> hmmm
[04:38:07] <norias> define toolroom app
[04:38:13] <norias> so, you buy this kit
[04:38:18] <norias> and measure your tooling with it
[04:38:25] <renesis> says cutting tool and consumables management
[04:38:29] <norias> basically, based on how it vibrates
[04:38:34] <norias> as a system
[04:38:43] <norias> they can give you optimal spindle speeds
[04:39:05] <renesis> hmm weird
[04:39:12] <norias> see also stability lobe diagram
[04:39:44] <furrywolf> spotify also requires a binary gender. there's another strike against them.
[04:40:08] <norias> spotify requires a gender?
[04:40:15] <renesis> fuck if i remember
[04:40:36] <norias> is there boys only and girls only music?
[04:40:42] <renesis> maybe
[04:41:00] <furrywolf> apparantly
[04:41:04] <furrywolf> or, more likely, advertising.
[04:41:06] <renesis> furrywolf: hundred days is like 20% the cure and 80% something else i dunno i dont think i like
[04:42:15] <norias> wtf
[04:42:23] <norias> http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0890695508001296
[04:42:28] <norias> check out that abstract
[04:42:29] <renesis> album title track is totally like late 70s disco sounding the cure tracks
[04:43:50] <furrywolf> sounds like they've automated what a machinist with a practiced ear already does.
[04:44:00] <renesis> norias: so drive tool into spec inclined work, listen for it to scream, make plot?
[04:44:19] <renesis> furrywolf: those guys can cost like $70k/year
[04:44:20] <norias> i think that's what they are saying
[04:45:01] <norias> i think i'm going to pay for this article
[04:45:20] <norias> doing stability lobe diagrams without paying $10k is pretty much my holy grail right now
[04:46:09] <furrywolf> renesis: I'm not sure if I like the hundred days or not... I've only heard a couple of their tracks. hence why I'm looking for an album. lol
[04:46:34] * renesis just gonna listen to the cure f this
[04:47:15] <furrywolf> bah, they only do automatic billing? there's another strike. if money comes out of my account, it's because _I_ initiated it.
[04:49:49] <norias> so, furrywolf
[04:50:01] <norias> the advantage to a stability lobe diagram
[04:50:12] <norias> is usually when you set up a part, and adjust for chatter
[04:50:34] <norias> you are only moving to the closest stable combination of axial depth of cut
[04:50:37] <norias> and spindle speed
[04:50:48] <norias> however, given the mechanics of the system
[04:50:53] <norias> there is an optimal point
[04:51:14] <norias> so, often, the listen and adjust method gets you a suboptimal, but stable, configuration
[04:51:40] <Cromaglious_> hmmm 8" floppy spindle motor to drive a vinyl disc?
[04:52:12] <Cromaglious_> for stero don't you have to move in the z direction too?
[04:52:35] <Cromaglious_> s/stero/stereo/
[04:52:37] <furrywolf> Cromaglious_: the secret to driving vinyl is a big hunk of steel. doesn't matter much what you turn it with. :)
[04:53:03] <Cromaglious_> true... or a hunk of marble
[04:53:37] <furrywolf> I was working on a direct-drive turntable once, and with the big heavy weight removed, it'd snap 1/3rd of a rotation at a time.
[04:53:59] <furrywolf> i.e. rotate 120 degrees. stop. rotate 120 degrees. stop. etc.
[04:54:30] <furrywolf> it was entirely dependent on a big weight to make that into smooth movement
[04:54:35] <Cromaglious_> I had a BSR turntable with a marble platter with a rubber mat
[04:55:40] <Cromaglious_> neon light to adjust the speed with a pot to control the speed of the 6v dc motor
[04:56:43] <furrywolf> yep, I've worked on those. several rows of black/chrome around the platter if it's multi-speed too.
[04:57:06] <furrywolf> hrmm, sourceforge seems to be returning 503s today.
[04:57:20] <Cromaglious_> yep, 33 1/3,45,78
[04:57:33] <Cromaglious_> man those 78's ate needles
[04:58:10] <Cromaglious_> I'd almost want to make a laser reader to play 78's
[04:59:14] <furrywolf> from what I know, non-contact players never really worked well.
[05:00:26] <Cromaglious_> they didn't have the sensors they have today
[05:02:49] <furrywolf> I wonder if you could adopt one of those capactive video disc heads to read audio vinyl...
[05:05:38] <Cromaglious_> IRENE at the library of congress takes pictures of the grooves and then constructs a model of the record
[05:05:58] <Cromaglious_> only does monophonic records which is OK for 78's
[05:07:15] <Cromaglious_> micro 3d scanner would work for the grooves for stereo and quadraphonic records. Just have to have a high speed blast of clean air to clean the dust out of the groves
[05:07:47] <furrywolf> the capacitive heads were cool... they worked like CD heads with tracking coils to center the stylus...
[05:10:35] <Cromaglious_> I'm thinking 2 tracking lasers reflecting into ccd's for tracking and another laser with beam splitter to read the sides at 3 places on each side, and depth
[05:11:33] <furrywolf> if you think you can get an accurate reflection, have fun...
[05:12:01] <Cromaglious_> build a 3d model of the groove, post process for dust and scratches.
[05:12:47] <Cromaglious_> a scratch would have an angle different than the original press.
[05:13:21] <Cromaglious_> maybe use those usb microscopes
[05:13:46] <Cromaglious_> and structured light
[05:28:38] <norias> structured light!
[05:28:43] <norias> yippee!

[07:59:04] <Tecan> i almost died because i put moonshine in my vape mix lol
[08:00:53] <Jymmm> vpaping is far older than 4 years, almost 9 years that I'm aware of.
[08:01:17] <Jymmm> I just threw out 5yo juice =)
[08:02:32] <Jymmm> I just can't do nic at all it seems (ironic I know)
[08:02:47] <Jymmm> at least not without coughing up a lung or three
[08:02:55] <Tecan> nic is just to turn off the smoke craving response
[08:03:06] <Tecan> vg on its own is way more powerful
[08:03:12] <Jymmm> I can't vape nicotine at all
[08:04:02] <Jymmm> I'd avoid SOY just due to the GMO personally
[08:04:15] <Tecan> without nic vg still changes my vision gives an energy boost and feels like a smoke
[08:04:56] <Jymmm> MY VG is non-gmo, kosher, and palm or vegetable based
[08:04:58] <Tecan> i quit for 3 months and started back up on cigars as a victory smoke lol
[08:05:01] <Tecan> ideot
[08:05:07] <Jymmm> lol
[08:05:34] <Tecan> those prime time rum and wine cigars are tasty
[08:05:39] <Jymmm> You can use a drop of water to thin VG btw
[08:06:09] <Tecan> the water was making my spleen hurt
[08:06:18] <Tecan> it was sticking to my tissue more
[08:06:41] <Jymmm> a DROP of water?
[08:06:46] <Tecan> more vg being absorbed into my body
[08:06:55] <Jymmm> ah
[08:06:57] <Tecan> you have to keep the smoke really cool for those big clouds
[08:07:21] <Jymmm> Maybe you have a reaction to PG and/or VG in general, many do.
[08:07:48] <Jymmm> I'm not a cloud chaser, I prefer flavor
[08:09:38] <Jymmm> But I got VERY lucky and this build it hitting great

[13:56:36] <furrywolf> ln -s /whatever /wherever
[13:57:00] <jthornton> what is where ever on a different drive?
[13:57:30] <furrywolf> doesn't matter.
[13:57:45] <furrywolf> symbolic links can point to anything you want, even things that don't exist....
[13:58:04] <jthornton> so how to you point to another drive?
[13:58:55] <furrywolf> ... /whereevertheotherdriveismounted/somewhere/...
[13:58:55] <furrywolf> all things on *nix are mounted into a single tree
[13:59:49] <archivist> one often just mounts on some directory in fstab like usb drives appear on /media

[14:00:16] <archivist> as usual more than one way to skin this cat
[14:00:45] <Tom_itx> yeah i did that once but forgot how, it linked the whold drive as a directory
[14:00:47] <jthornton> lol I can't even create a directory on the drive... I guess I don't "own" it
[14:01:01] <furrywolf> looks like your automount is mounting it as /media/6821c43c-d4b9-486a-a36c-9645cb1c4edd. so ln -s /media/6821c43c-d4b9-486a-a36c-9645cb1c4edd/furryporn /home/jt/
[14:01:05] <_methods> yeah much better to fstab

[14:09:40] <jthornton> it's ext2 and I think it needs to be 4

[14:10:32] <jthornton> not linux issue but backuppc needs ext4
[14:10:40] <jthornton> 1 day old
[14:10:47] <jthornton> lol
[14:11:03] <jthornton> I think I need to format it
[14:11:04] <furrywolf> how the hell did you even manage to format it as ext2?
[14:11:08] <archivist> then format it properly next time :0
[14:11:20] <jthornton> I didn't format it I just created a partition

[14:13:26] <furrywolf> completely random question: is there any reason speaker cones have to be conical? what about a paraboloid?

[14:32:13] <archivist> no mention of cone shape on a skim read, lots of graphs of response measurements with different cabinets and crossovers etc
[14:32:36] <zeeshan|2> archivist: that book by ab wood
[14:32:38] <zeeshan|2> is pretty decent
[14:32:47] <zeeshan|2> i referred to it in my acoustics course
[14:33:01] <furrywolf> Rayleigh says my plan wouldn't work, so even if the speaker would work, the overall idea is a bust.
[14:33:08] <archivist> was about to go back upstairs to drag it out :)
[14:34:03] <zeeshan|2> two other books i used a lot was
[14:34:11] <archivist> I have a load od audio stuph not catalogued yet as some I regarded as audiophool grade
[14:34:55] <zeeshan|2> "industrial noise control and acoustics" by randall baron and "fundamentals of acoustics" by lawrence kinsler
[14:35:03] <furrywolf> I thought of an application where you could combine a loudspeaker and parabolic microphone, but it'd take an annoyingly large loudspeaker... so whether the cone shape would be acceptable is irrelevant. heh.

[14:47:42] <furrywolf> same way you make any other mill?
[14:47:44] <zeeshan|2> mastercam being a slut
[14:47:51] <Tom_itx> why would you want to?
[14:47:59] <Tom_itx> wtf are you making?
[14:47:59] <zeeshan|2> cause im making a deep chamfer
[14:48:06] <archivist> use human cam
[14:48:06] <zeeshan|2> and doing it on the mill
[14:48:50] <zeeshan|2> http://i.imgur.com/XZc0MJ0.png
[14:48:53] <zeeshan|2> basically that tool path
[14:48:55] <furrywolf> " Since the mounting depth in my car is so shallow, the installer had to remove the factory terminal lugs from the speaker. Then he sodered the speaker wire directly to the tinsel leads." ... the things you find googling for info on repairing broken tinsels. lol.
[14:48:55] <zeeshan|2> that doesnt take 10 hours
[14:49:07] <zeeshan|2> i wanna step the big chamfer with a 3/8 end mill
[14:49:11] <zeeshan|2> .050 scallops
[14:49:19] <zeeshan|2> and then come clean it up with a chamfer mill
[14:49:55] <Tom_itx> how big a chamfer?
[14:50:22] * Tom_itx looks at zeeshan|2's show n tell

[14:50:38] <zeeshan|2> deg
[14:50:58] <zeeshan|2> ive done this on straight parts with chamfer
[14:50:58] <Tom_itx> ball nose it
[14:51:01] <zeeshan|2> but those techniques dont work
[14:51:02] <zeeshan|2> no
[14:51:06] <zeeshan|2> i wanan do it quick
[14:51:15] <furrywolf> just put it on your 5-axis mill and rotate it at a 45 degree angle about the axis of your hole.
[14:51:19] <Tom_itx> cram the cutter in there then
[14:51:34] <zeeshan|2> i wanna remove the bulk with the regular flat bottom end mill
[14:51:35] <_methods> HHAHAHHAHAHHAHAH
[14:51:42] <_methods> MAKE SURE YOU VIDEO IT WHEN YOU RUN THAT
[14:52:00] <Tom_itx> do it on a 5 axis and tilt the part
[14:52:17] <zeeshan|2> yes, let me setup a 5 axis
[14:52:19] <zeeshan|2> just for this
[14:52:20] <zeeshan|2> :-)
[14:52:26] <_methods> plz do
[14:52:36] <zeeshan|2> i can throw this on the lathe and get it done
[14:52:39] <zeeshan|2> but id like to do it in one setup
[14:52:44] <Tom_itx> there's your best bet
[14:52:44] <zeeshan|2> i wish someone used mast4ercam in here
[14:52:56] <zeeshan|2> ive seen it done before, but i dont know which path it was
[14:53:08] <Tom_itx> ?
[14:53:20] <Tom_itx> do it the same way you spiral down the center

[15:01:56] <zeeshan|2> what is the tool path called for chamfer milling!
[15:02:16] <Tom_itx> zeeshan|2, if you use a ball nose you will remove mor material than a flatbottom mill

[15:03:43] <_methods> lol
[15:03:48] <Tom_itx> when it's out there... it's out there.
[15:04:01] <zeeshan|2> it's out there for a reason, cause its interesting
[15:04:03] <zeeshan|2> most machining is boring
[15:04:16] <zeeshan|2> ive made 20 other parts in that time period that are typical
[15:04:28] <Tom_itx> boring is but one part of machining :D
[15:04:47] <zeeshan|2> if you expect it to do something silly, you video it

[15:05:18] <zeeshan|2> _methods i'm an engineer
[15:05:19] <Tom_itx> just don't let the EM gouge the surface you want smooth
[15:05:19] <zeeshan|2> i know all
[15:05:25] <zeeshan|2> except how to do this tool path!
[15:05:26] <Tom_itx> i'm still suggesting a ballnose
[15:05:38] <zeeshan|2> Tom_itx: im leaving .050 from the surface of interest
[15:05:43] <zeeshan|2> im using it to remove the majority of the material
[15:05:52] <furrywolf> "Hold my beer and watch this!" is generally a good cue to get the camera rolling.
[15:05:57] <zeeshan|2> so the chamfer mill doesnt have to do as much work
[15:06:03] <furrywolf> Tom_itx: I told him to use a ballnose yesterday. he didn't listen then either.
[15:06:21] <zeeshan|2> i didnt ask for suggestions on how to do it furry
[15:06:27] <Tom_itx> it's still a lathe job...
[15:06:28] <zeeshan|2> i was asking on how to generate the tool path specifically to what i want
[15:06:44] <Tom_itx> join ###mastercam
[15:06:46] <zeeshan|2> Tom_itx: i don't wanna risk it losing concentricity
[15:07:04] <Tom_itx> i know how to do it in smartcam
[15:07:04] <zeeshan|2> its easier to do it in one setup
[15:07:12] <furrywolf> you need that cnc boring head someone here pasted yesterday
[15:07:13] <zeeshan|2> well maybe its similar in master?
[15:07:17] <Tom_itx> i doubt it
[15:07:41] <Tom_itx> i would group the surface and do a helix with an offset
[15:07:58] <Tom_itx> or spiral
[15:08:30] <Tom_itx> the problem with using a spiral or helix is by the end of the first pass you're too deep
[15:09:12] <Tom_itx> i fear chatter on your chamfer cut
[15:10:24] <zeeshan|2> its a proper chamfer mill
[15:10:47] <zeeshan|2> http://blog.supertoolinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/chamfer-cutter.jpg
[15:10:49] <zeeshan|2> like that
[15:12:31] <zeeshan|2> figured it out
[15:12:36] <zeeshan|2> it was just circular milling tool path
[15:12:44] <zeeshan|2> but the start angle had to be the same as my chamfer angle
[15:13:53] <zeeshan|2> 8 min to run entire program
[15:13:54] <zeeshan|2> more like it!
[15:16:18] <jthornton> I finally got it... create a ext4 partition that shows up in /media/partitionname and chown to me!

[16:06:26] <archivist> that is way back 1960's :)
[16:08:10] <pcw_home> I probably read about it in a HP journal in the 60s...
[16:08:34] <archivist> I have catalogues going way back, where I read it :)
[16:09:39] <zeeshan|2> my instincts tell me the liquid n2 and heating element would have better cooling rates
[16:09:41] <zeeshan|2> vs a peltier
[16:09:45] <zeeshan|2> cooling/heating
[16:10:12] <archivist> peltier can be poor

[16:34:18] <furrywolf> why would you use three small butterflies instead of one big one?
[16:34:33] <zeeshan|2> ??
[16:34:38] <zeeshan|2> oh
[16:34:43] <zeeshan|2> its a 2 stage tb
[16:35:39] <furrywolf> yes, that's what it is... that doesn't answer WHY.
[16:35:58] <zeeshan|2> you asked why three butterflies
[16:36:01] <zeeshan|2> vs one big one
[16:36:05] <zeeshan|2> i was pointing out its a 2 stage tb
[16:36:09] <furrywolf> unless that's for some weird carb I've never seen, not efi.
[16:36:12] <zeeshan|2> the top butterflies open together and bottom opens diff
[16:36:18] <zeeshan|2> it is for efi
[16:36:22] <zeeshan|2> its for a rotary engine
[16:36:29] <zeeshan|2> you want a progressive opening
[16:36:38] <zeeshan|2> otherwise you get huge tip in fuel tuning issues
[16:37:36] <furrywolf> that seems like something that should be addressed with software and/or sensor improvements, not an overly complicated throttle body. heh.

[16:37:59] <zeeshan|2> every rotary engine has a tb like this
[16:38:01] <zeeshan|2> there is a reason for it
[16:38:16] <zeeshan|2> cause you cant controll the transient velocity through software fast enough
[16:38:29] <zeeshan|2> control the transient fueling fast enough

[16:49:00] <zeeshan|2> so they control the tip in accel control
[16:49:14] <furrywolf> apparantly has to do with velocity through the intake ports... I guess the stupid combustion chamber shape needs high velocity air for scavanging purposes or such.
[16:49:41] <archivist> mixing too
[16:49:42] <furrywolf> the old design used a separate butterfly to only let air though a small port to keep the velocity high
[16:50:55] <furrywolf> I toyed with designing a vane pump engine a while ago... should build one one of these days.
[16:51:27] <archivist> that will last a few seconds
[16:51:51] <furrywolf> no, I got the relative velocity of all the seals down nice and low, much better than a wankel...

[17:01:22] <furrywolf> it's continuous combustion, and a lot more like a jet (brayton cycle) engine than a spark ignition otto engine... just built with vane pumps instead of turbines. tried designing an engine that'd have some of the benefits of turbines, but over a wide rpm range, as it was positive displacement instead of depending on aerodynamics...
[17:02:01] <furrywolf> the hard part is making a vane pump that can expand combustion temperature gasses without promptly failing... or needing new apex seals weekly, like a rotary. :)

[17:05:28] <furrywolf> turbines are inherently limited to a very narrow rpm range, making them difficult to use for general-purpose applications.

[20:25:21] <Computer_barf> some lights blinked and now just the power light is solid
[20:25:25] <pcw_home> do you have 2 Ethernet interfaces?

[20:25:52] <Computer_barf> I figured that out once I had the board already here
[20:26:05] <Computer_barf> but I figure ill pick up a usb ethernet for the internet connection
[20:26:14] <Jymmm> Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
[20:26:21] <Jymmm> Nooooooooooooooooo USB
[20:26:29] <Computer_barf> well not usb for the mill
[20:26:41] <Jymmm> No usb to ethernet
[20:26:45] <Computer_barf> just for the occasionally used internet
[20:27:01] <pcw_home> I have a 1G USB-Ethernet adapter I found at goodwill for $3.00 and it works perfectly

[20:37:00] <pcw_home> If this is a odl 7I76e you may need to update the firmware
[20:37:09] <pcw_home> s/odl/old/
[20:40:00] <pcw_home> so first thing is to connect your Ethernet port to the 7i76E
[20:40:01] <pcw_home> and setup a static IP address on the host
[20:40:03] <pcw_home> If you have the default 192.168.1.121 7I76e address = both IP select jumpers down
[20:40:04] <pcw_home> I woudl set the host address to 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
[20:42:48] <jdh_> can you just add a static arp entry pointing to the 7i76e MAC?

[20:46:19] <pcw_home> I guess so but you still need the interface setup
[20:48:00] <Computer_barf> so like, the thing has small web server on it?
[20:48:24] * furrywolf needs a 7i76e
[20:48:26] <Computer_barf> im flipping some jumpers and then going to the web server in the browser and changing some settings for a more ideal ip address
[20:48:44] <Computer_barf> furrywolf you should definantly get one, then tell me how to do everything, that would be sweet
[20:48:59] <jthornton> backuppc says it is backing up the Hardinge :)
[20:49:07] <furrywolf> Sure, send me yours, and I'll let you know exactly what it took to get it working. :)
[20:49:12] <Computer_barf> lol
[20:49:51] <pcw_home> no web server (theres all of 4K of code space (~2K used) on the 7I76e for the Ethernet interface)
[20:50:07] <zeeshan|2> http://i.imgur.com/asI7Zdp.jpg
[20:50:13] <zeeshan|2> i like my setup for this throttle body =)
[20:50:16] <Computer_barf> ok then how am I changing the ip address?
[20:50:17] <Jymmm> jdh_: I would HIGHLY recommend that you don't just "trust" your backups, but actually perform restores as a test as well.
[20:50:45] <pcw_home> did you read the 7I76E manual?
[20:51:09] <jthornton> looks good to me what are you doing to the throttle body?
[20:51:11] <furrywolf> I have the generic chinese hold-down set, but not those nice blocks you have under it...

[20:53:25] <zeeshan|2> its a bit challenging
[20:53:27] <zeeshan|2> cause its 3 bores
[20:53:40] <zeeshan|2> so i just eyeballed the squreness of the tb to the table

[20:53:58] <zeeshan|2> and then used the indicator to find the center, (noting the locations of the readout)
[20:54:08] <zeeshan|2> and now writing a small g-code to bore them out
[20:56:14] <zeeshan|2> gonna start by removing 1mm from each bore
[20:56:14] <pcw_home> The 7I76E has 3 IP address options: W2 W3
[20:56:14] <pcw_home> fixed at 192.168.1.121 DOWN DOWN
[20:56:14] <pcw_home> set by EEPROM (default = 10.10.10.10) DOWN UP
[20:56:14] <pcw_home> BootP UP DOWN
[20:56:14] <furrywolf> are you making the butterflies too? if not, you need to get the bores to match the butterflies you bought...
[20:56:14] <zeeshan|2> yea im making the butteries for the large 2 ports
[20:56:14] <zeeshan|2> but using one of the order butterflies for the smaller port
[20:56:14] <zeeshan|2> currently the large ports are at 1.967" , the small port is at 1.772"
[20:56:18] <zeeshan|2> so im gonna make the small port 1.967"
[20:56:24] <zeeshan|2> and that butterfly _should_ work
[20:56:53] <zeeshan|2> and the 1.967 bores are becoming 2.175"
[20:57:03] <furrywolf> heh, just make sure you have enough metal left.
[20:57:13] <zeeshan|2> yea thats why im going in 1mm steps
[21:02:16] <Computer_barf> pcw_home: can't I just configure the ip addresses in PNCconf?
[21:02:37] <pcw_home> No
[21:03:23] <Computer_barf> ok so after I change the jumpers how do I actually change the address?
[21:03:53] <MarkusBec> rtfm :)
[21:03:54] <furrywolf> did you read the manual?
[21:04:16] jerkey_ is now known as jerkey
[21:05:11] <pcw_home> ok so if you set W2,W3 to down/up, the 7I76e IP address will be 10.10.10.10 (you need to cycle the 7I76E power after moving the jumpers)
[21:05:14] <MarkusBec> page 27
[21:06:10] <pcw_home> Then you can setup your host ethernet port
[21:06:12] <pcw_home> (you can use the network mangler for this)
[21:07:20] <pcw_home> (there are more complete Ethernet setup instructions in the hm2_eth man page : man hm2_eth)
[21:07:21] <furrywolf> the manual says to use mesaflash --device 7i76e --set ip=whatever
[21:08:09] <pcw_home> yeah but thats not needed, the default IP address should be fine
[21:08:43] * furrywolf hands Computer_barf a copy of the manual
[21:09:01] <furrywolf> I don't even own one, and I've read it. :)
[21:10:50] <pcw_home> I presume the J1900 has RTK Ethernet chip and the MB MAC

[21:43:30] <Swapper> anyone that can explain how a Pneumatic counterweight works?
[21:43:34] <Swapper> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-D5FoXQOnPQ
[21:43:51] <Swapper> is it possible to do with a normal pressure regulator?
[21:43:58] <Tom_itx> probably like a shock absorber
[21:44:18] <Swapper> i need one to counterbalance my z axis
[21:44:34] <Tom_itx> or a spring or lead weight
[21:44:50] <Tom_itx> i used a big bronze bar to counterweigh mine
[21:45:16] <Swapper> i thaught it where a nifty way to counterpalance without taking up a lot of space
[21:45:36] <Tom_itx> my bar doesn't take much space
[21:45:44] <Tom_itx> it's on pulleys out of the way
[21:45:47] <Swapper> i need to counterbalance 80kg and dont have 80kg of brass/lead :)
[21:46:02] <Tom_itx> concrete in a bucket would also work
[21:46:11] <Swapper> that where my initial thaught, i even got the vgrove bearings to do that
[21:46:38] <Swapper> but then i found the Pneumatic counterweight method, and i have all the parts for it (if it works with a normal regulator)
[21:46:59] <Tom_itx> give it a go
[21:47:01] <Tom_itx> i dunno
[21:48:04] <Swapper> anyone have a good guide on how angular contact ball bearings should be oriented
[21:48:20] <pcw_home> not sure a simple regulator would work (where does the air go when Z moves down?)
[21:48:24] <Swapper> i know its been up for discussion here before
[21:49:02] <Swapper> pcw_home: my guess is that when the regulator gets a higher pressure on the "out" port it dumps it
[21:49:13] <pcw_home> or maybe with a big ballast tank
[21:49:24] <Swapper> yea you need a tank for it
[21:49:34] <Swapper> tu buffer the air volume
[21:49:41] <pcw_home> yeah
[21:49:44] <Swapper> s/tu/to
[21:50:03] <Swapper> but i dont get how the regulator can get the "dumped" air back in the tank
[21:50:13] <pcw_home> has the advantage of not doubling the Z axis mass like a counterweight
[21:50:26] <Swapper> yea that where my thaught also
[21:50:42] <Swapper> where thinking of using gas springs but they are not linear
[21:50:46] <Swapper> this should be linear
[21:50:49] -!- jleh_ has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[21:50:58] <Swapper> and easier to tune with servo
[21:51:14] <Tom_itx> with the cylinder and reserve tank etc a bucket of concrete may take less space
[21:51:28] <Swapper> yea but it ads mass
[21:51:28] <Tom_itx> maybe not as elegant but effective
[21:51:41] <pcw_home> what about a big clock spring on the leadscrew :-)
[21:51:44] <Tom_itx> counter mass
[21:51:51] <Swapper> still more mass
[21:52:07] <Tom_itx> it's how elevators wowrk
[21:52:09] <Tom_itx> work
[21:52:21] <Swapper> yes but they dont accelerate like a cnc head do
[21:52:36] <Tom_itx> heh some of the ones i've been on seem to :)
[21:53:14] <Swapper> looks like the system needs 2 regulators...

[21:54:29] -!- FreezingCold [FreezingCold!~FreezingC@135.0.41.14] has joined #linuxcnc
[21:55:02] <asdfasd> constant pressure will work as linear spring while pressure is kept constant
[21:55:02] <asdfasd> probably some protection needed in case you loose pressure
[21:55:49] <Swapper> i run the mill without counterbalance today so thats no problem
[21:56:23] <Swapper> But how is it all connected, how would i build a constant pressure system that does not need a constant supply of air ?
[21:56:42] <Swapper> This dude seems to have built that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-D5FoXQOnPQ
[21:56:55] <Swapper> using 2 pressure regulators and a tank
[21:58:55] <furrywolf> a small cylinder and a large tank approximates constant pressure
[21:59:23] <Swapper> so no need for a regulator?
[21:59:45] <furrywolf> depends on how constant you need. heh.
[22:00:04] <furrywolf> the video will load in a few minutes so I can see what you're talking about.

[22:02:54] <furrywolf> I think the regulator is just for filling, and it's a small-cylinder-large-tank setup.
[22:03:16] <Swapper> oh ok, that makes it simple
[22:03:16] <furrywolf> consider that if the tank is 20 times larger than the cylinder, you'll only get a 5% change in pressure over the full stroke.
[22:03:33] <Swapper> ill have to try that
[22:03:43] <furrywolf> and he has a quite large tank.
[22:03:47] <Swapper> yea and then the regulator can keep it topped up
[22:03:50] <Swapper> if it leaks
[22:04:49] <furrywolf> I think the second regulator is for some part of the machine other than the counterweight.

[22:05:32] <Swapper> thank for the explanation
[22:05:48] <furrywolf> I'm not sure it is - I just think it is. heh.
[22:05:56] <Swapper> ill try it
[22:06:01] <Swapper> it sounds logical
[22:06:17] <furrywolf> the other option is just to build a quill drive, so you don't have nearly as much weight to move. :)
[22:06:22] <Swapper> the piston will "float" on the tank pressure
[22:07:00] <Swapper> the axis is allready working, i only want to offload some whight of the bearings
[22:07:12] <furrywolf> you probably also could do a pneumatic remote counterweight... get two matching cylinders, put one on the machine, and one next to it with the same amount of weight just sitting on it.
[22:07:16] <Swapper> i have a 2kw ac servo there so no lack of power
[22:07:20] <furrywolf> that'd be truely constant pressure
[22:08:07] <Swapper> i only need to get it somewhat counterbalanced
[22:08:21] <furrywolf> so just use a large tank. :)

[22:10:34] <furrywolf> if you figure his cylinder is 2.5" diameter and 2ft stroke (it's probably less, but just to approximate), that's about exactly a half gallon of volume. it looks like he has a 20-30 gallon air compressor tank with the pump removed. that's less than 2.5% pressure change over its full stroke.
[22:11:41] <Swapper> yea and thats not much compared to a normal gas strut
[22:11:51] <Swapper> i guess they are not that lienar
[22:11:56] <furrywolf> if I ever build a router, I'll use a quill drive... no reason to move the motor around!
[22:11:56] <Swapper> linear
[22:12:20] <Swapper> it for this mill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aRGh76ApUs
[22:12:24] <Swapper> not a router
[22:13:26] <furrywolf> that looks like painfully much weight.
[22:14:01] <Swapper> yea.. and im second guessing my choice of bearings.. .:)
[22:14:28] <furrywolf> looks like you'll still have the tilting-forwards torque to deal with even with your support system.
[22:14:33] <Swapper> and in any case im thinking it would be good to counter its some
[22:15:26] <Swapper> tilting forward?
[22:15:55] <furrywolf> if you put your air cylinders back by the column, all they'll do is take the weight off the leadscrew. the bearings will still see the same forces.
[22:17:13] <furrywolf> or do you mean the leadscrew bearings, not the ones between the head and the column? (if any - just gibs?)
[22:17:37] <Swapper> its gibs, i mean the ballscrew bearings
[22:17:59] <furrywolf> ah
[22:18:55] * furrywolf is too used to people in here building things with ball bearings on rails
[22:20:07] <Swapper> i tore the z axis down "again" today since i have some weerd noise... dont know if its the bearings
[22:20:30] <Swapper> and im seccond guessing my self every time im asemling the angular contacts....
[22:20:37] <furrywolf> I'd love a nice large mill... mine has 3" of Z travel. heh.
[22:20:57] <zeeshan|2> well i just found out
[22:21:03] <Swapper> i had an X2 mill before this one.
[22:21:15] <Swapper> its quite the differance
[22:21:31] <zeeshan|2> my machine doesnt like a 3" axial doc .050" radial doc, 300 sfm, 8ipm with a 1" end mill
[22:21:37] <zeeshan|2> i think im deflectiung the end mill

[22:22:17] <zeeshan|2> didnt seem to change it
[22:22:19] <furrywolf> if it gets quieter, good. if it breaks the cutter, you know you were feeding too fast. :P
[22:23:10] <Swapper> deflecting a 1" end mill requires so serius torque ?
[22:23:24] <furrywolf> Swapper: he has real toys. :(
[22:23:43] <zeeshan|2> i think im gonna try helical plunging
[22:23:43] <Swapper> ill bet
[22:23:56] <Swapper> zeeshan|2: what material ?
[22:24:01] <zeeshan|2> aluminum
[22:24:40] * furrywolf bets the problem is the z axis driver. :P

[22:50:21] <renesis> youre murdering the sound =(
[22:50:23] <furrywolf> this is the party stereo, not the accurate listening stereo.
[22:50:55] <furrywolf> actually, it sounds better than either sansui pair does on its own... let's just say sansuis have... quirks.
[22:51:01] <renesis> the 10 lbs of cheap 70s and 80s capacitors and inductors stereo =\
[22:51:06] <Tom_itx> Swapper looks like a cheap diaphram pump
[22:51:15] <renesis> theyre 5 ways, how do they not have quirks
[22:51:23] <renesis> they prob had quirks new
[22:51:36] <Swapper> Tom_itx: does a diaphram pump have high pressure ?
[22:51:36] <furrywolf> yes, they did.
[22:51:49] <Swapper> so it could be used as a way oiler pump ?
[22:51:53] <furrywolf> I think sansui's motto is "we have room to cram another drive in!"
[22:51:55] <Tom_itx> probably not very high
[22:52:13] <furrywolf> or "let's cram another drive in down here!"
[22:52:35] <renesis> i think you should low pass everything at 100hz, and match to a decent pair of 2-way bookshelf speakers
[22:52:57] <renesis> sound better, bass will be bit clearer, and people wont know its not coming from all the old speakers
[22:53:33] <furrywolf> if I want high quality, that's what the JBL studio monitors are for.
[22:53:46] <Swapper> Tom_itx: my guess is a FUEL PUMP
