[01:22:49] <petefromtn> LOL I couldn't find the remote control for my home stereo and did not feel like digging around for it so I remembered that it has a cellphone ap
[01:23:34] <malcom2073> Lol
[01:23:41] <malcom2073> spent three hours avoiding walking 5 ft to the stereo :P
[01:24:03] <petefromtn> So I opened it and started playing with it. Never realized it could stream every song in my phone thru the ap.....kickass LOL LOL
[01:24:11] <malcom2073> Nice
[01:24:51] <petefromtn> This thing is so cool and can almost do anything the remote can

[01:25:59] <petefromtn> Actually I had my eye sawed on today so I am kinda laying around and don't really feel like digging for it hehe
[01:26:18] <malcom2073> Oh?
[01:26:23] <malcom2073> Did there turn out to be metal in it?
[01:27:26] <petefromtn> No actually the doctor said it was some kind of hard white material
[01:27:51] <petefromtn> Sucks
[01:30:31] <_methods> this ant-man movie is pretty funny

[01:52:10] <Tom_itx> yeah i kinda like them
[01:52:45] <petefromtn> My favorite album is Hold your fire
[01:53:38] <Tom_itx> i only have one or two and can't remember which they are

[01:54:24] <petefromtn> I have most of them I think
[01:54:40] <Tom_itx> roll the bones is one iirc

[01:54:57] <Tom_itx> most of mine is
[01:55:00] <Tom_itx> not all
[01:55:27] <petefromtn> Which mAkes this app really sweet

[01:58:00] <Sync> but it was funny, when he had it, his pupils were super dilated
[01:58:02] <Tom_itx> heh

[02:37:24] <CaptHindsight> As weighed, the total empty weight of an aircraft is 5,862 pounds with a moment of 885,957. Next to the aircraft are 5,862 pounds of feathers and 5,862 pounds of bricks. Which one is heavier?
[02:38:57] <petefromtn> 5862 pounds of cheesecake
[02:39:30] -!- duc has quit [Quit: Bye]

[02:46:49] <petefromtn> At least especially when it is my wife Dacia's World Famous Cheesecake ;)
[02:48:46] <CaptHindsight> so cheescake isn't a yankee cake?
[02:49:26] <petefromtn> Who says we are not yankees
[02:50:48] <petefromtn> Well okay a north Californian doesn't could I guess
[02:52:19] <CaptHindsight> https://redclayandroses1.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/mjcityzm.jpg
[02:52:26] <CaptHindsight> depends on the map

[02:54:44] <petefromtn> Man watching Star Trek with one dilated eyeball is kinda like watching a movie with a broken paid of 3D glasses
[02:55:11] <CaptHindsight> should wear off by the mornin
[02:55:31] <petefromtn> That last one makes me nauseous
[02:55:48] <Tom_itx> have a few drinks and it'll get even fuzzier
[02:55:49] <CaptHindsight> I saw one that was a Russian telecine copy
[02:56:21] <CaptHindsight> I think someone got up in the next row during one scene

[02:56:51] <petefromtn> Unfortunately it won't the drops he gave me are supposed to be every four hour for two to three days and they are what is doing the partial dilation
[02:57:16] <CaptHindsight> is it easier to get around with a patch?
[02:57:43] * Tom_itx gives petefromtn a pegleg to go with the patch
[02:57:56] <petefromtn> I asked him that and he said they use these contact lens band aids now instead
[02:58:12] <petefromtn> Argggg
[02:58:21] <CaptHindsight> I like the pirate look
[02:58:50] <petefromtn> Chicks dig it
[03:00:16] <CaptHindsight> I sprained my ankle the other day. The limp is doing nothing for me
[03:00:30] <CaptHindsight> but an eye patch....
[03:01:29] <petefromtn> Hehe
[03:01:56] <petefromtn> So you got a hitch in your giddyup
[03:02:11] <CaptHindsight> yup
[03:02:20] <petefromtn> :D
[03:03:11] <petefromtn> Probably gonna need to miss work tomorrow
[03:04:42] <CaptHindsight> funny how things get in your eyes even when wearing safety glasses or even goggles
[03:05:49] <petefromtn> I know right
[03:06:28] <petefromtn> Both times I had to get seen by a Dr. I was wearing at least something over my eyes

[03:31:44] <Jymmm> err 37F
[03:32:16] <petefromtn> Aah that's not too bad

[04:52:29] <tiwake> CaptHindsight: got some sodium hydroxide... that stuff is amazing for taking off anodized surfaces
[04:52:58] <Praesmeodymium> looks like a weaving in concrete to overcome the linear faults of the usual 3d printing toolpaths
[04:53:03] <tiwake> also probably not something I want to accidentally leave in my salt shaker
[04:53:21] <Praesmeodymium> I have a 5 gallon bucket of the stuff
[04:53:42] <tiwake> Praesmeodymium: of sodium hydroxide?
[04:54:02] <Praesmeodymium> used be red devil lye, now to get decent quantities for making soap ya got to buy 45#
[04:54:15] <Praesmeodymium> yeah NaOH
[04:54:35] <tiwake> its pretty easy to make, if you have a good power source
[04:54:55] <tiwake> salt in water, add electricity
[04:55:17] <Praesmeodymium> oh? its not expensive and any metal ions leftin soap make it itchy
[04:55:39] <tiwake> thats probably why its not expensive ;)
[04:55:52] <tiwake> and yeah, I'd imagine
[04:56:05] <Praesmeodymium> for anodizing yeah I bet a small amount home made is a better otion than a 5gallon bucket
[04:56:23] <Praesmeodymium> but its kept the drains clear lol
[04:56:45] <tiwake> I just bought a smallish container of it as "drain unclogger"
[04:56:51] <tiwake> yeah
[04:56:52] <tiwake> lol
[04:57:13] <Praesmeodymium> because of meth, they have added other shit to poison the reaction, usually metal ions
[04:57:34] <tiwake> you use it for making meth?
[04:57:52] <tiwake> s/you use/its used/
[04:57:56] <Praesmeodymium> no, thats why they dont sell red devil lye on the shelves anymore
[04:58:08] <Praesmeodymium> I make soap
[04:58:27] <Praesmeodymium> its also useful for making biofuel
[04:58:33] <tiwake> hmm
[04:58:38] <tiwake> yeah, I've read that
[04:58:44] <Praesmeodymium> and just about any other A/B reaction lol
[05:00:22] <tiwake> I wonder what the reaction is with aluminum
[05:01:30] <Praesmeodymium> 2 Al + 2 NaOH + 2 H2O → 2 NaAlO2 + 3 H (wiki)
[05:01:53] <tiwake> https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-balanced-chemical-reaction-of-aluminum-and-sodium-hydroxide
[05:01:56] <Praesmeodymium> sodium aluminate and hydrogen
[05:02:46] <tiwake> I might use it for cleaning off the aluminum oxide too... hmmmm
[05:05:47] <tiwake> reading that second thing
[05:05:54] <tiwake> this is why I don't like chemistry
[05:08:59] <Praesmeodymium> even water is fascinating hydrogen bonds and I dont mean only the 2 connecting to the oxygen http://www1.lsbu.ac.uk/water/water_hydrogen_bonding.html
[05:09:24] <tiwake> well sure
[05:10:24] <tiwake> I think all chemistry is fascinating, the amount of effort to figure out chemistry isnt... in the end nobody really knows how it all works, just that it does.. heh
[05:13:26] <Praesmeodymium> well, we have some godd theories, and if a unified theory is ever found then we could do first principle calculations of tis stuff
[05:14:17] <Praesmeodymium> they already are do first principle calcs in the search for room temp superconductors and figuring out the various mechanism at play

[05:21:04] <renesis> tiwake: i dunno i took intro chem and they seem to have shit as down as the physics guys
[05:21:34] <renesis> they just actually do shit and the physics dorks just scribble on paper all day
[05:21:50] <tiwake> renesis: same, though after the intro chem, or one year of chemistry, they tell you to forget everything you learned
[05:22:05] <tiwake> and teach you chemistry proper
[05:22:24] <renesis> physics guys think theyre all that, but those fuckers draw electronic schematics like theyre in kindergarten
[05:23:03] <renesis> tiwake: same in pretty much every field, heh
[05:23:29] <tiwake> not really
[05:23:58] <renesis> physics guys, same way, programming, kind of the same
[05:24:14] <tiwake> erm, no, not really XD
[05:24:27] <renesis> when i say every field i just mean stem because i dont even know wtf everyone else does at school
[05:24:45] <renesis> write about their feelings or something
[05:25:15] <renesis> art students are neat at least they make shit

[13:22:20] <archivist> dorritos++
[13:22:59] <MattyMatt> wicki_ without special hardware, you end up needing an arduino attached just to read temperatures anyway, which is when you might as well attach the steppers to that
[13:23:10] <ssi> archivist: it'd be faster if he used spicy nacho
[13:23:13] <MattyMatt> and run reprap firmware
[13:23:57] <MattyMatt> mesa a/d maybe overkill
[13:25:04] <ssi> reprap with servos! :D
[13:25:28] <wicki_> Matty: for the first test, I will control the temperature by hand ;-) - next step ist a little PIC-controller for this job
[13:26:12] <CaptHindsight> I heard that someone reprap related discovered closed loop in the past year or so
[13:26:24] <ssi> CaptHindsight: invented you mean
[13:26:33] <MattyMatt> closed loop has been done many times
[13:26:36] <archivist> patented!
[13:26:44] <CaptHindsight> I think that they added encoders to their steppers

[13:27:50] <CaptHindsight> what will these guys invent next?
[13:28:06] <MattyMatt> inkjets went to servos years ago
[13:28:23] <MattyMatt> because it's cheaper and lighter
[13:28:48] <ssi> hm china needs to start cranking out some little nema17 servos with encoders attached
[13:28:58] <CaptHindsight> servo motors with encoder strips?!
[13:29:17] <MattyMatt> opto wheel in the gear train does the job
[13:29:21] <CaptHindsight> whodah thunkit?
[13:29:59] <CaptHindsight> what are the encoder strips for in an inkjet? Diversion from reverse engineering?
[13:31:01] <MattyMatt> so you can have a DC motor on X axis, with all the pixels evenly spaced
[13:32:16] <archivist> ya know we had servos in the 1980s on printers
[13:32:40] <MattyMatt> with closed loop, you can run steppers faster with confidence too
[13:32:59] <CaptHindsight> I hope that they can eventually find a water based ink formula that costs less than $3K/L
[13:33:08] <archivist> MattyMatt, you got two printer oldtimers in here :)
[13:34:09] <archivist> ours had the loop on a 6809
[13:36:26] <CaptHindsight> ssi: good luck on the test, in case you get stuck blame it on the #3 pencil
[13:37:15] <MattyMatt> I came in at the start of the micro era. they all used big steppers around then
[13:37:31] <MattyMatt> my 4th axis motor and belt are from a microline 92 :)
[13:37:55] <MattyMatt> I'd have kept that as a working one if it was epson compatible

[14:49:55] <anomynous> i just want a hobby cad ;D Id like sw but 4k is too much. way too much. Inventor is too much also, but i have to ask ;)
[14:50:13] <anomynous> Jymmm, ;)
[14:50:58] <R2E4> I spoke with the invertor guys at the manufacturing show, and they want to give it away for three years. He is the one that told me how to get it for free.
[14:51:32] <R2E4> He said for hobby guys, they dont care, they want the commercial accounts
[14:51:45] <anomynous> then i should email and ask
[14:52:08] <anomynous> maybe i could get solidworks like that ;D I can use it, so it would be easy
[14:53:02] <R2E4> Inventor is very much like solidworks. SOlidworks is expensive!!!!
[14:53:15] <anomynous> how much is inventor then
[14:53:28] <R2E4> The CAM part of inventor is amazing.
[14:53:47] <R2E4> HSMworks
[14:54:02] <R2E4> Too expensive if you buy it.
[14:54:40] <anomynous> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ki6NBKMYmkc more feed! I can hear it chattering. More feed always cures chatter :)
[14:54:53] <anomynous> oh its not chatter. ;D Its chips going off
[14:55:39] <anomynous> does hsmworks come with inventor?
[14:55:47] <anomynous> or you have to buy it separate? I guess latter
[14:58:12] <R2E4> hsmworks is for the autodesk cam for solidworks, HSM is for inventor and you can get that free or if you choose, you can purchase it.
[14:58:27] <R2E4> inventor is 385/month or outright at 7,295

[15:24:38] <MattyMatt> there's a cheap planer/jointer in Screwfix here atm, that gets good reviews. I've got to weigh up the cost against buying planed wood and against finishing my metal mill
[15:24:48] <MattyMatt> in metal
[15:25:13] <MattyMatt> plywood mill was supposed to work metal, for self upgrade. that never really happened
[15:25:22] <MattyMatt> I've tried adding more wood
[15:25:28] <MattyMatt> and bits of metal
[15:28:53] <anomynous> milling metal can be surprisingly slow even with a rigid machine
[15:29:18] <MattyMatt> I haven't added any concrete yet. that can wait until I have a ground floor workshop
[15:29:59] <SpeedEvil> Milling concrete is hard.
[15:30:02] <MattyMatt> it was chatter that ripped a tooth of my nice carbide, that lasted forever doing wood
[15:30:35] <anomynous> milling solid stone is harder

[15:32:40] <anomynous> 3d milling jelly artwork, and then caramellizing with a torch?
[15:32:54] <SpeedEvil> Bimetal saw are for cutting lgbt.
[15:33:20] <Jymmm> anomynous: Not jelly, jello =)
[15:33:34] <MattyMatt> I use the dremel pusher for cutting circles
[15:34:05] <MattyMatt> in wood and plastic :p
[15:35:02] <Jymmm> MattyMatt: and in jello?
[15:35:43] <MattyMatt> nope, because that'd need air coolant and I run out of breath. I have the same problem with acrylic and acetal
[15:36:12] <MattyMatt> there are these things called electric fans I've heard of
[15:36:34] <MattyMatt> I should attach one of them to my blow hose

[16:18:53] <PetefromTn_> tiwake sorry man I had a phone call. Yeah the lye solution stuff really strips anodizing quick but as I said it is TOO strong. When I tried to strip my rails when I had a blemish in the finish it stripped out the threads enough that the screw felt quite loose in the threaded holes
[16:18:59] <PetefromTn_> really sucks
[16:19:25] <PetefromTn_> I suppose you could try a lesser solution that would take longer to strip might help
[16:20:01] <archivist> when you re anodise the thickness goes back up some
[16:20:03] <PetefromTn_> but when I stripped it getting the anodizing to let go took a little while and I removed it as soon as it appeared to be coming off
[16:20:22] <PetefromTn_> that might be true I am sure
[16:20:35] <PetefromTn_> I had to retap the holes larger on that one
[16:20:54] <Tom_itx> morning pirate pete!
[16:20:56] <PetefromTn_> it was a surprising amount of slop in the holes tho
[16:21:03] <PetefromTn_> Tom_itx Morning man
[16:21:08] <JT-Shop> were the holes anodized?
[16:21:10] <Tom_itx> feelin better?
[16:21:21] <PetefromTn_> naah I called in to work today
[16:21:36] <PetefromTn_> JT-Shop yeah I anodized the entire part
[16:21:54] <JT-Shop> well there goes that theory lol
[16:22:04] <PetefromTn_> I was kind of up all night with discomfort from the eye so I did not sleep very good
[16:22:28] <PetefromTn_> probably should have just plugged the holes in the first place
[16:22:40] <Tom_itx> yeah generally that's what is done
[16:22:48] <tiwake> PetefromTn_: I got some "drain unclogger" says its sodium hydroxide, but might contain other things... its like a white salt. added some of that to the water, not a very strong solution, or as strong as it could be I suppose
[16:22:50] <PetefromTn_> on anodizing?
[16:22:55] <Tom_itx> yes
[16:23:06] <PetefromTn_> hm
[16:23:09] <Tom_itx> masked or filled with something
[16:23:19] <PetefromTn_> I know on powdercoating they plug holes
[16:23:24] <PetefromTn_> because of the build up
[16:23:33] <Tom_itx> same idea
[16:23:37] <PetefromTn_> but most anodized parts I have done we just did it all
[16:23:53] <PetefromTn_> tiwake that is pretty much what I use....came in a black bottle white granules
[16:23:55] <Tom_itx> some do, most aircraft parts i've seen were masked
[16:24:00] <PetefromTn_> powerful schtuff
[16:24:04] <tiwake> yeah
[16:24:07] <Tom_itx> but you don't find alot of anodizing there either
[16:24:26] <tiwake> takes a little while to get through the anodizing, once it gets to the aluminum it really lets you know there is a reaction going on
[16:24:27] <anomynous> isnt the buildup in microns for anodizing
[16:24:33] <PetefromTn_> most of the riflescope rings and rails I have seen were all anodized
[16:24:47] <PetefromTn_> yeah it fuzzes up quick
[16:25:00] <tiwake> thats when I took it out
[16:25:03] <JT-Shop> Ron says to mix 16oz of lye with 5 gallons of water

[16:25:17] <archivist> anomynous, yes number of microns defines lifetime of coating

[16:25:36] <PetefromTn_> I filled up the cooler about halfway with DI water
[16:25:51] <PetefromTn_> and put probably a pepsi can full in there of the granules
[16:25:51] <JT-Shop> Tom_itx, getting closer
[16:25:59] <Tom_itx> so is winter
[16:26:04] <PetefromTn_> at first they hardened up on me

[16:26:39] <PetefromTn_> then I broke them up a bit and they disentigrated
[16:27:04] <PetefromTn_> I probably only left that part in the mixture for two minutes or so
[16:27:15] <JT-Shop> he mentioned that you add the crystals slowly as you stir so they dissolve instead of falling to the bottom
[16:27:16] <PetefromTn_> no more than five I am sure
[16:27:24] <tiwake> PetefromTn_: donno, it seemed my threads were alright... did a couple parts. The threads in mine are pretty tight to begin with though, and there is still visibly anodizing inside of it (blind hole threads). I think I might use the stuff for cleaning, as it gets rid of the aluminum oxide too

[16:27:38] <anomynous> archivist, does thickness affect colour? ;D
[16:27:44] * JT-Shop goes back to construction work
[16:27:48] <anomynous> and what does sealing do
[16:27:52] <anomynous> when to seal or not
[16:28:01] <PetefromTn_> tiwake sounds like your mixture is thinner than mine
[16:28:06] <PetefromTn_> gotta seal
[16:28:11] <archivist> anomynous, you put the colour into the pores and then seal
[16:28:15] <PetefromTn_> or the color will come out
[16:28:53] <tiwake> anomynous: you don't have to seal if you don't dye it... most "hard anodizing" does not include color, and not sealed
[16:29:32] <anomynous> hard anodizing produces thicker oxide, right? So colour would not be good. Why is it thicker?
[16:29:43] <archivist> lasts longer
[16:29:55] <tiwake> a thicker harder outside surface
[16:29:55] <anomynous> yeah, but why is it... denser?
[16:30:03] <anomynous> its denser, right?
[16:30:08] <archivist> eg aluminium window frames need to last 30 years ish
[16:30:11] <tiwake> voltage/current determines the hole size
[16:30:34] <anomynous> lots of voltage and current mean instant anodization ;D
[16:30:41] <tiwake> higher current makes smaller holes and can be built up thicker
[16:31:10] <anomynous> ok
[16:31:30] <anomynous> why do alloyed alumiums not colour well?
[16:31:31] <tiwake> the smaller holes makes it so dye does not fit in as well, I guess thats why its typically not dyed?

[16:55:13] <PetefromTn_> and my new CNC lathe will be maybe fifteen
[16:55:22] <Tom_itx> it's a wonder those wankles don't blow their guts out

[16:55:47] <Tom_itx> why?
[16:55:56] <PetefromTn_> but yeah a wankel can really run hard when built right
[16:56:05] <Tom_itx> i know they brag alot but it gets ppl out of the woodwork
[16:56:18] <PetefromTn_> well there has always been a sort of rivalry between foreign stuff and american musclecars
[16:56:21] <Tom_itx> seems to loose power at the end though
[16:56:44] <PetefromTn_> most of those v8's are HUGE BIG BLOCKS LOL
[16:56:56] <Tom_itx> and heavier cars too
[16:57:00] <PetefromTn_> running against a 1.3 liter
[16:57:11] <Tom_itx> in a pop can
[16:57:17] <PetefromTn_> but in the end the fastest drag cars have always been v8's
[16:57:30] <PetefromTn_> and probably always will be for the forseeable future

[17:02:12] <Tom_itx> yeah they were quite competetive
[17:05:06] <CaptHindsight> they just need different transmissions for those 1.3L super cars, something that keeps them reving at 7-10K rpm from 0-200mph
[17:05:57] <Tom_itx> yeah
[17:06:25] <CaptHindsight> they will figure that out someday
[17:06:27] <PetefromTn_> they are putting the viper trannies in some as well as tremec swaps but the stock tranny is pretty stout. those full drag cars are a different story tho I think,

[18:07:42] <PetefromTn_> I have always been nice as pie to you
[18:08:00] <Jymmm> Oh, not just me, but ALL of us that day =)
[18:08:06] <PetefromTn_> I was just trying to make sure I didn't order the wrong shite

[18:13:15] <PetefromTn_> I really need to get mine working

[20:40:42] <CaptHindsight> 10 arc minutes of lash max
[20:41:09] <PetefromTn_> not up to your standards huh Cappy?
[20:41:47] <CaptHindsight> with a 5mm lead screw thats only ~2.5um of lash
[20:42:09] <PetefromTn_> might be good for an indexer drive then?
[20:44:57] <PetefromTn_> I could not figure out a way to program the tap cycle on multiple holes tho had to paste the code over and over to get it to work otherwise I got a MISSING K work error
[20:46:14] <_methods> paste your code up
[20:46:24] <_methods> for what was giving you the error
[20:46:45] <XXCoder> 5:1
[20:46:58] <XXCoder> wouldnt it make it insanely accurate?
[20:46:58] <PetefromTn_> it was just when I put the code only on the first like as if it was modal and had just locations for the following holes
[20:47:10] <CaptHindsight> http://www.automationtechnologiesinc.com/products-page/cnc-parts/z-axis-slider-2 LOL that's what I call precision "OVERALL LENGH IS +/-13.5"(without motor)"

[20:48:02] <XXCoder> jeez
[20:48:03] <CaptHindsight> "3ft give or take a foot"
[20:48:08] <XXCoder> wrong way of stating it

[20:48:45] <PetefromTn_> _methods It was just for a fixture tapping so I was hand coding it at the machine. Already loaded my part code so it is lost now or I would post it

[20:50:37] <_methods> i was looking at a thread talking about g33.1

[20:50:50] <XXCoder> CaptHindsight: yeah or just wrong usage, maybe it should 13.5" -+ (something tol)
[20:51:11] <XXCoder> Jymmm: round file?
[20:51:22] <_methods> cut off wheel
[20:51:33] <Jymmm> XXCoder: too tight to get in there, only have 6" of height
[20:51:33] <_methods> bout the only way i know of to deal with that
[20:51:52] <CaptHindsight> XXCoder: the guy has a PhD in mechanical engineering, he's just busy
[20:52:01] <XXCoder> likely
[20:52:19] <XXCoder> Jymmm: thats not much
[20:52:39] <Jymmm> _methods: Yeah, I was just hoping there was another way, as then I have to cut thru the material as well as the welds.
[20:53:04] <_methods> what other tools do you have you can use?
[20:53:05] <XXCoder> make custom short round file
[20:53:16] <XXCoder> get old one or new one, cut it off
[20:53:33] <XXCoder> not exactly best solution
[20:53:45] <Jymmm> _methods: table saw and carbined tipped blade =)
[20:54:02] <_methods> on an inside corner?
[20:54:11] <PetefromTn_> can you get a carbide burr in there? perhaps on a die grinder with a little fixture
[20:54:16] <_methods> you'd need a big ass blade lol
[20:54:30] <Jymmm> yep
[20:54:30] <XXCoder> possbly sandpaper tube
[20:54:36] <XXCoder> or grinder rod
[20:54:46] <_methods> do you have a mill?
[20:54:48] <PetefromTn_> _methods I was using G33.1
[20:54:51] <Jymmm> PetefromTn_: If I had a compressor, and die grinder =)
[20:54:56] <_methods> ah well that's your problem
[20:55:00] <_methods> g33.1 isn't a canned cycle
[20:55:17] <PetefromTn_> nope apparenlty not ;)

[21:00:49] <PetefromTn_> do the sides overlap the bottom or the bottom overlap the sides?

[21:01:21] <Jymmm> rungs*
[21:01:23] <_methods> oh jesus
[21:01:25] <PetefromTn_> do you need to maintain the length of the rungs?
[21:01:27] <_methods> yeah good luck with that
[21:01:34] <_methods> angle grinder
[21:02:06] <Jymmm> I want to reuse the C-channels for ramps. If I can preserve as much of the cross pieces as I could, that would be great
[21:02:12] <PetefromTn_> if you can loose the length of the rungs I would run it across a tablesaw carefully
[21:03:31] <Jymmm> PetefromTn_: Yeah, I might have to cutoff the rungs from the c channels, then once free, flip the c channel 90 degree and run across the table saw for a second pass
[21:03:51] <XXCoder> 5:1 gearbox would mean router would move 1/5 as far with full rotation correct?
[21:03:54] <PetefromTn_> sounds reasonable not having seen the parts
[21:03:54] <SpeedEvil> hacksaw would have less kerf
[21:04:11] <Jymmm> the welds of course are on the inside of the 2" edge
[21:04:27] <Jymmm> SpeedEvil: Got an electric hack saw? =)
[21:04:41] <PetefromTn_> cut clean against the top of the C channel edge

[21:48:48] <McBride36> lol well, the leadscrew for my power feed doesn't turn, ground up the keyhole on the gear
[21:48:57] <McBride36> i believe it should freely turn but idk
[21:49:33] <McBride36> i'd like to get this figured out before i potentially destroy another gear
[21:49:35] -!- feyerling has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[21:49:52] <malcom2073> Leadscrew and power feed are two different things
[21:50:12] <malcom2073> If you've got your power feed engauged, and lock your half nut on the lead screw, you can shear a key pretty easy though
[21:50:28] <McBride36> well i probably did that
[21:51:00] <malcom2073> With the lathe off, does the carriage move freely when the handle is turned?
[21:51:18] <McBride36> i can adjust the carriage myself
[21:51:30] <McBride36> but which handle are you talking about?
[21:51:37] <malcom2073> The carriage handwheel
[21:51:49] <McBride36> yeah i can turn the carriage handwheel and move the carriage
[21:53:32] <malcom2073> If the power feed and leadscrew are engauged, when you turn the spindle by hand, they should both rotate slowly
[21:53:53] <McBride36> ok i will go test that
[21:53:59] <McBride36> be back soon
[21:55:13] <malcom2073> What kind of lathe do you have? You should have a lever to start/stop the powerfeed and leadscrew together

[22:01:51] <justanotherusr> at some point while discussing hobbing solutions, archivist told me that there are linuxcnc compatible milling + hobbing machines that aren't absurdly expensive. I guess I never got around to asking him to recommend one, and the one he linked me he built from a bunch of spare parts and I don't have those skills. Care to recommend one?
[22:02:07] <McBride36> and if i turn the spindle by hand, the gears rotate, but the powerfeed threading does not move nor doesthe carriage move
[22:02:26] <malcom2073> Ah, that does not have power feed, it only has a leadscrew
[22:02:43] <McBride36> it does have power feed
[22:02:56] <malcom2073> Power feed is a second bar below the threaded bar
[22:03:08] <malcom2073> You're thinking power feed as in "makes it move"
[22:03:16] <McBride36> well
[22:03:20] <McBride36> i never claimed i was smart
[22:03:38] <McBride36> thanks for clearing that up though lol
[22:03:38] <malcom2073> I could be entirely wrong as well, I'm going by what I've been told :)
[22:03:52] <McBride36> but that thread underneath that is supposed to make the carriage move, doesn't
[22:03:57] <malcom2073> So the leadscrew isn't turning
[22:04:01] <McBride36> correct
[22:04:10] <McBride36> all the gears turn, spindle turns
[22:04:16] <McBride36> leadscrew does not
[22:04:36] <malcom2073> The lever to start/stop the leadscrew turning is set to enabled?
[22:04:53] <malcom2073> Their website is gone, so Ican't look too close
[22:05:21] <malcom2073> But yeah, if the gear behind the thread is turning but the thread not, that's a stripped key, have you crashed it?
[22:05:26] <malcom2073> As in, run it against a hard stop?
[22:05:40] <McBride36> afaik, no
[22:05:50] <McBride36> was always careful to not hit anything with it
[22:05:55] <McBride36> was working yesterday, now it isn't lol
[22:07:09] <_methods> so you said earlier you broke the key?
[22:07:54] <McBride36> the gear was stripped
[22:07:56] <McBride36> i thought it was that
[22:08:03] <McBride36> now it's clearly something else

[22:09:07] <_methods> little machine shop sells replacement metal gears i believe
[22:10:14] <PetefromTn_> I think they have a plastic drive gear that shears teeth apparenlty

[22:10:57] <_methods> my x2 mill had a bunch of plastic gears i blew up most riki tik
[22:11:16] <_methods> i belt drive modded that monkey after that
[22:11:28] <_methods> i think most people belt drive mod the lathe too
[22:11:51] <PetefromTn_> I think the lathe IS belt drive but the feed is geared off of it but I honestly have never owned one

[22:15:13] <PetefromTn_> they sure are cute ;)
[22:15:14] <McBride36> ...did i link my zoo album
[22:15:29] <_methods> cats

[22:15:45] <_methods> heh their eyes follow mouse
[22:15:58] * JT-Shop puts tap collets in the holders :)
[22:16:07] <_methods> hey you got some tap collets
[22:16:13] <JT-Shop> suncoast had them for $35
[22:16:17] <_methods> you already finished that job though didn't you?
[22:16:25] <JT-Shop> yea, I should have got a 1/2 too
[22:16:33] <JT-Shop> got them for next job
[22:16:42] <_methods> yeah they're handy
[22:16:52] <_methods> like i said though you don't HAVE to use them
[22:16:52] <McBride36> ok _methods and malcom2073 http://imgur.com/gallery/8KqYc/new
[22:16:53] <McBride36> try that
[22:17:20] <JT-Shop> I keep a 1/4-20, 5/16-18, and 3/8-16 in holder with drills all the time
[22:17:34] <_methods> gears look alright to me
[22:17:40] <_methods> but kinda hard to tell from that pic
[22:17:42] <McBride36> those are new gears
[22:17:45] <_methods> you use a camera from 1880
[22:17:46] <_methods> lol
[22:18:05] <McBride36> the broken one is on my desk, gonna try to model/print it
[22:18:51] <McBride36> i put new gears on to have the feed engaged while trying to turn it by hand
[22:19:04] <McBride36> and the gears turn, but the leadscrew does not
[22:19:13] <_methods> hmm
[22:19:25] <McBride36> in the third picture, is there a bearing there?
[22:19:41] <_methods> well the leadscrew a bushing it looks like
[22:19:47] <_methods> oops
[22:19:51] <_methods> a bushing
[22:20:15] <McBride36> bushing appears to be in good condition
[22:20:15] <_methods> i think that is a spacer so you can change gears to adjust your lead
[22:20:38] <McBride36> most likely
[22:21:49] <_methods> yeah if you put a smaller gear there and leave out the bushing you can drive against the larger gear next to that smaller one
[22:22:24] <McBride36> i have an adjuster for the gear spacing
[22:22:33] <_methods> ok so when you turn the spindle all the gears are moving but the lead screw is not
[22:22:34] <McBride36> you can see it in the second pic
[22:22:37] <McBride36> yes
[22:22:47] <McBride36> and i think if i kept turning the spindle, i'd strip another gear
[22:23:30] <_methods> why is something binding the gears?
[22:23:49] <McBride36> the leadscrew doesn't turn
[22:24:06] <McBride36> not even a hint of movement so if i force it, it'd just snap the plastic
[22:24:37] <_methods> hmmm you don't have the carriage locked do you?
[22:25:02] <_methods> meh nm you already said the carriage moves freely
[22:25:05] <_methods> correct?
[22:25:20] <McBride36> correct, if i have the power feed lever in the upright position
[22:25:44] <McBride36> if i move the lever to lock onto the leadscrew, the carriage doesn't move, which i think is by design lol
[22:26:36] <_methods> yes
[22:27:08] <_methods> with the gears off the lead screw can you turn the leadscrew by hand?
[22:27:30] <McBride36> no, but i'll go double check right now
[22:28:03] <McBride36> nope
[22:28:44] <_methods> is there a power feed lever on the back side of the headstock?
[22:29:02] <McBride36> yes, that determines the forward/stop/reverse direction of the leadscrew
[22:29:15] <McBride36> you can see it in the first picture
[22:29:26] <McBride36> just moves the nylon gears to contact the spindle gear
[22:29:43] <_methods> ahhh
[22:29:59] <_methods> hmm
[22:30:18] <McBride36> i think my next step would be to just remove the leadscrew entirely
[22:30:21] <_methods> is it in neutral now?
[22:30:33] <McBride36> in hte picture, it is not
[22:33:00] <_methods> i don't know kinda hard to trouble shoot this since i don't have one but it looks like you have all the gears in there right
[22:33:18] <_methods> did the lead screw spin by hand?
[22:33:34] <_methods> ahh nm you said nope
[22:33:47] <_methods> so if you put it in neutral will it spin by hand
[22:33:57] <_methods> just checkin to see if something is binding the lead screw
[22:34:20] <_methods> neutral disengages the gears from the leadscrew correct?
[22:34:46] <McBride36> disengages the gears from the spindle
[22:35:21] <McBride36> nothing is attached to the leadscrew right now and it still won't turn

[22:35:35] <_methods> ahh well thats not a good thing
[22:35:46] <_methods> it should turn with nothing attached to it

[22:41:27] <McBride36> third picture, the blue mount the spacer is sitting on
[22:41:33] <_methods> yep
[22:41:36] <McBride36> i removed the screws from that and the other end
[22:41:43] <McBride36> that mount will spin freely
[22:41:47] <McBride36> the mount on the other end does not
[22:41:52] <McBride36> i think that might be my issue?
[22:41:58] <_methods> that is possible
[22:42:04] -!- chillly has quit [Quit: Ex-Chat]
[22:42:10] <_methods> the leadscrew should be just floating at the other end though
[22:42:23] <McBride36> it isn't, seems to be securely on the mount
[22:42:26] <McBride36> i'll go take a pic
[22:42:35] <_methods> so what is spinning freely? on the bearing side by headstock?
[22:44:08] <McBride36> yes
[22:44:25] <McBride36> also a pic wouldn't help, but if i move the mount near the tailstock
[22:44:34] <McBride36> it moves the entire leadscrew instead of just the mount
[22:45:03] <_methods> ok so the leadscrew is turning freely
[22:45:14] <McBride36> no
[22:45:26] <McBride36> the tailstock mount + leadscrew will move
[22:46:25] <_methods> well the leadscrew tailstock side mount is basically there just to support the leadscrew
[22:52:59] <McBride36> yeah, and there should be a bearing in there i think
[22:53:11] <_methods> yes in both of those bearing blocks
[22:53:17] <_methods> at headstock and tailstock
[22:53:41] <McBride36> tailstock mount spins with the leadscrew, i can't even remove the mount
[22:56:03] <McBride36> yup, fairly convinced the tailstock mount is the issue
[22:56:24] <McBride36> it's completely locked up the leadscrew
[22:56:48] <_methods> i thought you just said it was spinning?
[22:57:00] <McBride36> if i spin the mount
[22:57:03] <McBride36> the leadscrew spins
[22:57:07] <_methods> ahhhh you unbolted it
[22:57:11] <McBride36> yessir
[22:57:13] <_methods> it won't spin on the leadscrew
[22:57:50] <McBride36> well then i'm back at square one
[22:57:58] <_methods> ?
[22:58:03] <_methods> that was a question
[22:58:05] <McBride36> oh
[22:58:15] <McBride36> no, the mount doesn't spin on the leadscrew
[22:58:17] <_methods> the leadscrew should rotate freely in there
[22:58:21] <McBride36> it does not
[22:58:26] <_methods> yeah that's not good
[22:58:33] <_methods> can you see the bearing?
[22:58:48] <McBride36> i'll go move the lathe to ge ta better view
[22:59:44] <_methods> is that bearing block open through the center where the bearing is?
[23:00:29] <_methods> i can't tell from the schematics
[23:01:27] <_methods> ah yeah it looks like it has a thru hole

[23:01:54] -!- jduhls has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[23:02:00] <McBride36> both sides of the tailstock mount
[23:02:37] <_methods> hmm i don't see a bearing in there
[23:03:27] <_methods> well i'd try to just break that free and get it to spin on there
[23:03:44] <_methods> i wonder if you jammed the leadscrew into that "bearing" block
[23:04:27] <_methods> looks like it's threaded itself into the block
[23:04:42] <McBride36> that's what i'm thinking
[23:04:51] <McBride36> looking at schematic now to see if there's a bearing
[23:05:23] <_methods> well whatever the case that needs to spin freely
[23:06:11] <_methods> you may be able to spin it off if it's threaded itself in
[23:06:29] <_methods> just be careful not to hurt the threads on your leadscrew when you're doing that
[23:06:48] <McBride36> well, it won't budge if i try to move it by hand
[23:08:01] <_methods> yeah you're probably going to want to try and achieve some sort of mechanical advantage in a situation of this nature
[23:08:03] <Jymmm> whats the other end of the leadscrew look like?
[23:08:04] <_methods> lol
[23:08:24] <_methods> i like to use sledge hammers and cutting torches
[23:08:28] <_methods> but pick your poison lol

[23:09:27] <McBride36> third pic
[23:09:50] <Jymmm> Is that some kind of glue/locktight? http://i.imgur.com/SOJuyID.jpg

[23:10:02] <McBride36> old grease
[23:10:16] <Jymmm> on the blue
[23:10:19] <Jymmm> ?
[23:10:35] <Jymmm> looks like dried contaact cement
[23:10:44] <McBride36> is possible
[23:10:48] <Jymmm> lol
[23:10:59] <McBride36> there's an outline of the mount on the body of the lathe
[23:11:30] <Jymmm> Well if you can prevent the leadscrrew from turning, I suggest grabbing a pipe wrench and 4ft pipe to turn the blue thing
[23:11:49] <McBride36> preventing the leadscrew from turning is my next problem to solve
[23:11:50] <_methods> well from the schematic i'm guessing the screw in the end of the drive gear got loose and the leadscrew started to drift down into the tailstock mount and threaded itself into the mount
[23:11:51] <PetefromTn_> I think your best bet is just to rip all of that off there, slap a couple ballscrews on it and bolt on some servos ;)
[23:11:55] <_methods> then your gears blew up
[23:12:42] <Jymmm> McBride36: is that a key I see on the other enda of the leadscrew?
[23:12:48] <McBride36> yes sir
[23:12:52] <Jymmm> or set screw?
[23:12:57] <McBride36> key
[23:13:11] <_methods> the screw goes into the end of the leadscrew
[23:13:17] <Jymmm> spanner wrench?
[23:13:21] -!- Camaban has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[23:13:30] <_methods> and compresses the gear and spacer against the shoulder of the leadscrew at headstock end
[23:13:57] <McBride36> there is a screw that goes in the end on the headstock side
[23:14:22] <_methods> i'd grab a couple pieces of aluminum and put the leadscrew in the vise between 2 chunks of alum then crank on the bearing block
[23:14:33] <Jymmm> I'd take advantage of that key to "freeze" the leadscrew somehow
[23:14:55] <McBride36> that could work, dunno if i'd get enough leverage to unthread the block
[23:15:19] <Jymmm> leverage? Whatcha think the 4ft pipe is for?
[23:15:59] <Jymmm> "grip" the blue block with the pipe wrench, toss pipe on end of pipewrench handle, pull pipe =)
[23:17:00] <Jymmm> I'd support the leadscrew when doing this, unless you like pretzels
[23:17:39] <Jymmm> and if it's siezed... heat with torch to and let 2nd law of physics take effect =)
[23:17:53] -!- choonway has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[23:17:55] <Jymmm> or is that the 3rd law of thermodynamics?
[23:17:57] <_methods> well i know for sure when i got that leadscrew out i'd turn some of those threads off the end of that leadscrew to prevent that from happening again
[23:18:07] <McBride36> i'd like to remove the key and just take out the leadscrew completely
[23:18:13] <McBride36> would solve a lot of problems
[23:18:30] <Jymmm> McBride36: IF you have a way to prevent it from turning once out
[23:18:35] <_methods> you don't have it out of the lathe?
[23:18:38] <McBride36> no
[23:18:39] <McBride36> lol
[23:18:44] <McBride36> the mounts are preventing that
[23:19:04] <McBride36> third pic in the album, the key prevents the mount from being removed
[23:19:04] <_methods> you should be able to pull that leadscrew straight out towards tailstock
[23:19:14] <_methods> just pop the key out
[23:19:16] <Jymmm> _methods: http://www.harborfreight.com/power-tools/oscillating-tools/variable-speed-multifunction-power-tool-67537.html
[23:20:29] <_methods> Jymmm: you gonna use that?
[23:20:31] <_methods> for your welds
[23:24:11] <_methods> McBride36: if you have an arbor press you can just press that out also
[23:24:40] <_methods> you could set it on top of vise or something to support the bearing block and hammer the leadscrew out of it also
[23:24:57] <McBride36> i have access to a hydraulic arbor press
[23:25:07] <_methods> that would work
[23:25:17] <McBride36> not tonight but eventual access
[23:25:23] <McBride36> i just gotta get the leadscrew out then
[23:25:34] <McBride36> damn key
[23:25:51] <_methods> yeah if you take a screwdriver and hammer and hit the key from the end lightly it should pop up
[23:26:00] <_methods> hammer and punch would be better
[23:27:23] <Tom_itx> use a brass hammer or you could mushroom the end
[23:27:40] <_methods> it should pull straight out once you get the key out
[23:27:41] <Tom_itx> or deadblow
[23:27:49] <McBride36> it's out!
[23:28:06] <McBride36> just used a hard rubber mallet and tapped the headstock end
[23:28:06] <_methods> good deal
[23:28:19] <McBride36> well that's progress enough for one day

[23:34:11] <andypugh> PCW: If the auxlliary 5V connectors on the cards were vertical the cards would take up a fair bit less space.
[23:34:27] <andypugh> I think mine are about to become vertical.
[23:35:42] <andypugh> Though perhaps moving the VFD out of the computer box is a better way to make more space. Actually, no “perhaps” about it.
[23:38:50] <McBride36> woot
[23:38:55] <McBride36> amazing what problems hammers can solve
[23:39:06] <Tom_itx> or create
[23:39:12] <andypugh> I should probably put the VFD near the motor, and make a separate box for the high-voltage DC supply and 8i20s to both live in.
[23:39:13] <McBride36> _methods, couldn't get tailstock mount off, but it freely rotates now
[23:39:15] <_methods> like i said earlier, sledge and smoke wrench
[23:39:15] <_methods> lol
[23:39:44] <_methods> well that's a plus you could probably put it back together and get it working
[23:39:47] <McBride36> mhm
[23:39:50] <_methods> but you could be right back in the same boat
[23:40:01] <McBride36> do you think it was the screw on the headstock end that was loose?
[23:40:15] <_methods> yeah i would guess that was the cause
[23:40:21] <_methods> just lookin at the schematic
[23:40:27] <_methods> that's an immediate concern i would have
[23:41:05] <McBride36> well, i could at least turn some of the threads off
[23:41:16] <McBride36> wait
[23:41:17] <_methods> as a permanent fix i'd add a lockwasher to the headstock side washer stack and remove some threads or cbore the tailstock mount
[23:41:29] <McBride36> well, i can't remove the leadscrew from the tailstock
[23:41:31] <McBride36> dunno why
[23:41:36] <McBride36> tailstock mount*
[23:41:58] <_methods> we'll it looks like the may have peened the end
[23:42:18] <_methods> meh nm
[23:42:26] <_methods> you just need to apply some pressure
[23:42:39] <_methods> that arbor press will make quick work of it
[23:42:39] <McBride36> i used a nailset and a hammer lol
[23:42:46] <Tom_itx> get a bigger hammer
[23:42:48] <McBride36> i won't have access to the press for another week
[23:43:27] <_methods> well secure the bearing block somehow like clamp it to a heavy table or something and let the leadscrew hang free
[23:43:39] <_methods> then punch it out
[23:44:20] <McBride36> yolo
[23:44:23] <_methods> hehe
[23:44:27] <_methods> victory?
[23:44:39] <Tom_itx> i hate when you visit a MS site and they switch your search engine to bing
[23:44:44] <_methods> ugh
[23:44:47] <_methods> they can do that?
[23:45:02] <_methods> it changed your browser search engine?
[23:46:30] <_methods> McBride36: when you reattach the leadscrew you want to leave the tailstock mount slightly loose
[23:47:04] <_methods> once its all back together move the carriage as far towards the tailstock as you can and engage the halfnut and then snug up the tailstock mount
[23:47:28] <_methods> before you fully lock it down make sure the carriage moves freely from one end to the other
