[00:00:28] <Sync> meh, depends on the car imho
[00:01:34] <enleth> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CWpZKuy-NE - heh, I knew why they're noisy, now I SEE why they're noisy
[00:03:41] <JT-Shop> hmm, I get a sserial error when I home all and Z reaches the limit switch, however repeated homing of z only produces no errors, are they masked?

[00:05:50] <FloppyDisk> Doesn't make much sense to me. I assume your spindle is 'idle' (vfd on, but not moving).
[00:05:55] <JT-Shop> homing one axis at a time in random order and I got the sserial error on X this time
[00:06:07] -!- sumpfralle1 [sumpfralle1!~lars@c.mail.systemausfall.org] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:06:21] <FloppyDisk> On X- - when it hits the limit? Or while slewing?
[00:07:11] -!- Duc [Duc!~Duc@24.96.23.106] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:07:20] <JT-Shop> the sserial errors "appear" to be when the axis trips the limit/home switch
[00:07:39] <FloppyDisk> yikes.
[00:08:04] <JT-Shop> been doing that since I converted to emc a few years ago
[00:08:13] <FloppyDisk> what!?
[00:08:28] <FloppyDisk> I thought it was the recent sserial 2.7 issues.??
[00:09:16] <JT-Shop> 2.7 has a heart attack with one sserial error, 2.6 does not

[00:09:51] <FloppyDisk> Are you on 2.6 now?
[00:10:41] <JT-Shop> aye the only way I can run it
[00:10:48] <FloppyDisk> Same here...

[00:22:24] <FloppyDisk> Not good. At least you have a fuse, hopefully you can figure out what was the issue.

[00:23:32] teepee_ is now known as teepee
[00:23:37] <JT-Shop> I just have to power the servo amps from the main line instead of the control transformer
[00:24:10] <FloppyDisk> That would do it.
[00:36:44] <JT-Shop> fuses on order... it's chilly enough for chili tonight
[00:37:27] <Tom_itx> had that last night :D

[01:44:06] <bobo__> Well Pete are you all finaly homeless?
[01:45:39] <PetefromTn_> Hehehe
[01:45:43] <PetefromTn_> No idea man
[01:46:30] <PetefromTn_> all I know is we cleaned the living daylights out of the house, put on some nice pandora music, put a nice aroma candle warmer on the kitchen counter and cooked some cookies before we left and locked the house
[01:46:48] <PetefromTn_> Then we went out to dinner to the Smoky Mountain Brewery and had some delicious burgers
[01:46:57] <PetefromTn_> just got home a little while ago
[01:47:24] <PetefromTn_> won't know what if anything happens unless they decide to buy and put in a bid...?
[01:47:37] <PetefromTn_> Crossing fingers and toes tho :D
[01:47:43] <malcom2073> Good luck!
[01:47:53] <bobo__> and the cookies are all gone ?
[01:47:55] <PetefromTn_> Thanks malcolm
[01:48:29] <PetefromTn_> I dunno we did not eat any my wife cooked them and then put them in the microwave LOL
[01:48:48] <PetefromTn_> all our stuff is still in the same place so we did not get robbed so that is good LOL
[01:49:14] <zeeshan|2> PetefromTn_: whatd they think about your mill
[01:49:36] <Tom_itx> sup zeeshan
[01:49:39] <zeeshan|2> hi tom
[01:49:50] <malcom2073> PetefromTn_: You did it wrong! You're supposed to leave them out for them to eat :P
[01:50:10] <PetefromTn_> Oh damn
[01:50:17] <Tom_itx> yeah, leave em out on a plate but covered
[01:50:18] <PetefromTn_> forgot ;)
[01:50:34] <malcom2073> "As you can tell by the machines in the garage, the living room and dining room have had very little use"
[01:50:35] <PetefromTn_> are we selling our house or waiting on Santa Claus here
[01:51:10] <PetefromTn_> zeeshan|2 yeah everyone who comes to see the house is quite surprised to see the machines in the garage LOL
[01:51:12] <jdh> same thing?
[01:51:57] -!- likevinyl has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[01:52:02] <zeeshan|2> hehe
[01:52:33] <PetefromTn_> most of the men ask " so does this go with the house too LOL"
[01:53:06] <Tom_itx> sure for the right price
[01:53:15] <Tom_itx> then you wouldn't have to move it
[01:54:44] <bobo__> interesting month Pete is wanting to become homeless and zeeshan is wanting to be hired

[01:56:41] -!- likevinyl [likevinyl!~freebeer@unaffiliated/likevinyl] has joined #linuxcnc
[01:56:43] <Tom_itx> sure
[01:56:52] <jdh> is there any other way?
[01:56:59] <radicaldev> how long does it take them to ship, usually?
[01:57:00] <PetefromTn_> yeah I tell them anything is for sale for the right price LOL

[01:57:14] <Tom_itx> depends if it is in stock
[01:57:39] -!- Loetmichel has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[01:58:03] <radicaldev> Allegedly the 6i25-7i76 plug n go kits were in stock (22 units shown) when I ordered mine about a month ago. I called and the lady said so and so was testing it
[01:58:27] <radicaldev> glad I didn't choose the 100+ dollar next day shipping option like I thought about doing.
[01:58:35] <Tom_itx> you could ask PCW here
[02:00:50] <zeeshan|2> looks like mesa cant handle the growth :P
[02:01:11] <zeeshan|2> demand out weighs the supply
[02:01:17] <zeeshan|2> economics says increase price for max profit
[02:01:20] <zeeshan|2> :-)
[02:01:26] <Tom_itx> the focus is on bulk orders first i think
[02:01:41] <zeeshan|2> as much as i hate to say it
[02:01:42] <radicaldev> It's a bittersweet position to be in.
[02:01:46] <PetefromTn_> they are busy building boards for Tormachs ;)
[02:01:52] <zeeshan|2> i'd do the same.
[02:02:01] <zeeshan|2> oem's first, bob and joe after
[02:02:15] <radicaldev> me too
[02:02:17] <malcom2073> Someone needs to come up with an alternative
[02:02:23] <zeeshan|2> why
[02:02:24] <zeeshan|2> its so good
[02:02:26] <zeeshan|2> and cheap
[02:02:49] <Tom_itx> and sometimes unavailable
[02:02:50] <radicaldev> last time I checked their site they didn't show any in stock, so I was expecting a long lead time anyway, but I got exciting thinking I could have my wares in a couple of days.
[02:03:36] <zeeshan|2> i probably should order a couple back up mesa cards
[02:03:46] <zeeshan|2> before they increase prices
[02:03:56] <Tom_itx> not a bad idea just to have em around
[02:04:08] <zeeshan|2> ya
[02:04:19] <jdh> I have a spare 7i43. seemed like a good idea at the time.

[02:04:53] <zeeshan|2> finally done programming this part
[02:04:55] <Computer_barf> im currently installing this
[02:04:58] <zeeshan|2> i hope i dont break something
[02:05:02] <zeeshan|2> one of the tools is cutting at 120ipm
[02:05:09] <zeeshan|2> .1875 doc .75" woc
[02:05:22] <Computer_barf> in the instructions where to unpack things it says "your-folder-configuration/pyton
[02:05:23] <Computer_barf> probe_screen.py"
[02:05:38] <Tom_itx> zeeshan|2 numbers don't usually lie
[02:05:50] <zeeshan|2> Tom_itx: they dont
[02:05:52] <zeeshan|2> but humans do
[02:05:52] <Computer_barf> not sure if that means in the linuxcnc-dev folder or in the folder that the .ini is in
[02:05:53] <zeeshan|2> :(
[02:06:23] <Tom_itx> i get to put on my college hat tomorrow :)
[02:06:37] <zeeshan|2> Computer_barf: prolly /usr/bin/python
[02:06:43] <radicaldev> Tom_itx: Why would you do that?
[02:06:49] <zeeshan|2> nice Tom_itx
[02:06:53] <zeeshan|2> catia training?
[02:06:55] <Tom_itx> taking a catia class
[02:07:03] <jdh> probably where the ini is
[02:07:08] <Tom_itx> i've already done all the exercises
[02:07:34] <Tom_itx> i just want the paper
[02:08:51] <Computer_barf> lol zeeshan / jdh... I'm even less certain now.
[02:09:44] <jdh> putting it in /usr/bin/python would be in poor taste
[02:10:31] <Computer_barf> your-folder-configuration/pyton
[02:10:31] <Computer_barf> probe_screen.py
[02:10:34] <jdh> surely it would be easy enough to try the ini dir and see.
[02:10:46] <Computer_barf> i see that and im wondering if thats a mispelling of python or intentional
[02:10:47] <jdh> it really says pyton?
[02:10:54] <Computer_barf> yes
[02:10:56] <radicaldev> It says pyton in the documentation
[02:10:56] <jdh> I assumed you typoled it.
[02:11:19] <Computer_barf> yeah, directly in the documentation. I noticed some other odd english though
[02:11:24] <radicaldev> but the project directory has python in it
[02:13:25] <radicaldev> The script pulls a value from CONFIG_DIR from the environment, and in there you should find probe_screen.pref as well as machinename.pref
[02:13:47] <radicaldev> <machinename>, rather

[02:29:52] <radicaldev> when you download the zip or clone the git repository, the project directory is the top level directory there. Its contents are macros, probe_icons, python, and the readme and rc file
[02:32:01] -!- radicaldev has quit []
[02:32:39] <Computer_barf> yes im just not very sure what they mean by project folder, I know where my custom preference folder is

[08:41:54] <rhavenj> or another software recommended?
[08:41:54] <archivist> you can inspect all pins in linuxcnc
[08:42:19] <rhavenj> hi archivist, is there a wiki page i could read?

[12:53:11] <beikeland> so i safely try to edit the hal file and swap 0 and 1 around for the parallel ports
[12:53:42] <beikeland> only one can have data pins as inputs, so i don't want it to drive steppers

[13:52:51] <miss0r> Recently I started using a 80mm flycutter for a nicer surface finish. I noticed I had some tramming issues, which I fixed. I still have some issues with the overlapping of the lanes not being nice to the touch. i.e. you can feel the transission. I decided to do another tramming session. This is when I noticed that I was able to move the dial ~0.2mm up and down, applying manual force to the
[13:52:51] <miss0r> spindle. it is not the spindle it self that is moving it is the entiere machine construction. It is a colum type mill. Is this something I can do something about? or should I just live with the fact that this mill will never be able to make a perfect transission with a flycutter/other large diameter tool? (this is the mill: http://www.lathes.co.uk/arboga/img4.gif) and while doing the tramming,
[13:52:51] <miss0r> both the spindle and the colum in the back is locked in place with the build-in mechanism
[13:54:18] <archivist> be careful you dont confuse flex with tramming
[13:54:48] <miss0r> indeed. I have it trammed perfectly now. but I am worries it takes so little force to make the machine flex

[14:03:04] <miss0r> it doesn't seem to be 'loose' in the claps that lock the collar
[14:03:12] <archivist> miss0r, is that column clamp doing its job
[14:04:02] <archivist> are you testing clamped or unclamped
[14:04:09] <miss0r> it seems it is. I have the dials magnetic base planed on the table. the point of measuerement is on the top of the collar that clamps the column. Here I can measure ~0.1mm
[14:04:25] <miss0r> I tested it clamped. when unclamped it can move more
[14:04:34] <miss0r> but the point I tested is bolted to the base
[14:04:37] <archivist> tighten harder
[14:05:06] <archivist> make sure no crap under that collar to base
[14:05:31] <archivist> it is a bit of a basic design problem
[14:06:04] <miss0r> so, you suspect I have crap under there? I was beginning to suspect the base was too thin :)

[15:34:09] <Frank__> guys. tapping vs nuts. Debate. now. (?)
[15:34:11] <Frank__> haha
[15:34:15] <ssi> tapping what
[15:34:22] <Frank__> nice question
[15:34:31] <ssi> is this that 1/4" wall steel tube gantry
[15:34:37] <Frank__> about 3/4 inch mild steel
[15:34:47] <ssi> what size fastener
[15:34:49] <Frank__> its the 1/4'' plus the flat bar machined
[15:34:53] <Frank__> m8
[15:34:57] <ssi> tap :P
[15:34:58] <Frank__> and m5 for rack
[15:35:35] <Frank__> power drill or hand? andypugh told me power drill all the way
[15:35:39] <ssi> power drill for sure
[15:35:54] <Frank__> but wouldnt nuts be easyer?

[15:36:13] <ssi> if you think nuts are easier, use nuts
[15:36:16] <Frank__> stick your arm inside the tube find the bolt cya
[15:36:24] <ssi> I'd tap it personally
[15:36:38] <Frank__> i dont have any real experience with any of them
[15:36:51] <Frank__> i thought tapping was hell

[15:40:04] <Frank__> nicee
[15:41:21] <Frank__> i only hand tapped once 1/2inch hole aluminium
[15:43:12] <CaptHindsight> I can't always get nuts in the shape of the part I need to bolt to :)
[15:44:15] <ssi> lol
[15:47:20] <CaptHindsight> http://cdn.speednik.com/files/2013/07/DartIronEagle.jpg would be difficult to try to avoid the use of tapped holes and use nuts here
[15:48:45] <archivist> CaptHindsight, try the through bolt method where the nut is on the crank bearing shell
[15:49:07] <archivist> was used on a UK engine
[15:49:16] <_methods> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_McAuliffe
[15:49:21] <_methods> NUTS!!!
[15:52:32] <CaptHindsight> archivist: at least you don't have to be worried about stripping those
[15:53:17] <archivist> you had to tighten to a certain torque plus a stretch amount
[15:53:53] <archivist> luckily never had to rebuild one
[15:55:14] <Sync> well, studs are very common
[15:55:20] <Sync> and tty studs also
[15:55:40] <Sync> always fun when you rip the stud out of the casting
[15:56:23] <Sync> and most headbolts are tty anyway
[15:57:23] <archivist> tty? teletype shorthand
[15:57:44] <CaptHindsight> http://www.sunnen.com/honing-machines-discontinued/ck10-cylinder-resizing I used to think that these were enormous and super rigid
[15:57:56] <Sync> torque to yield
[15:58:01] <archivist> kids of today re using old acronyms
[15:58:49] <Sync> honing machines are suprisingly expensive
[15:59:18] <CaptHindsight> http://www.sunnen.com/graphics/assets/images/5d4229af3c4d.jpg looking at it now, I'd not prefer to use this on my engines except for maybe a lawn mower
[15:59:33] <Sync> why not?
[16:00:10] <CaptHindsight> then again if the spindle is made well enough
[16:00:21] <Sync> the spindle is unimportant
[16:00:33] <Sync> there are two universals in there anyway
[16:00:36] <CaptHindsight> it's just taking off a few thou and only ~4" deep
[16:00:37] <gregcnc> it's all supposed to flex?
[16:00:51] <Sync> it does not need to be rigid
[16:00:55] <Sync> and if it was that would be bad
[16:00:58] <gregcnc> so as not to distort the bore
[16:01:06] <Sync> the only thing that needs to be well made is the tool
[16:01:22] <gregcnc> it's not a grinder
[16:01:33] <CaptHindsight> hand drill with guide
[16:02:12] <Sync> I have a sunnen honing mandrel for a hand drill
[16:02:14] <Sync> it works perfectly
[16:02:50] <CaptHindsight> hone vs bore
[16:03:08] <Sync> well, you will always want to hone after boring
[16:03:50] <CaptHindsight> is that what that cross hatch pattern is?
[16:04:42] <gregcnc> Oh I thought that machine was a hone, yes cross hatch is result of honing
[16:04:42] <CaptHindsight> it confuses the oil so it just runs in circles and stay inside the engine

[17:01:44] <Frank__> hey guys, i was just talking about tapping, they told me that power drill with reverse function would be the best, but what about tapping with the bench press which im using to do the holes
[17:02:23] <archivist> use a tapping head, when you pull up it reverses

[17:03:17] <Frank__> the other day i was messing up with the bench drill press and i can play with the spring, so it comes up only when i want to
[17:03:23] <JT-Shop> does this look like a good one?
[17:03:24] <archivist> drill presses dont stop fast enough hence the need for an external unit
[17:05:02] <Frank__> i see..
[17:06:07] <skunkworks__> JT-Shop, did you figure out your noise problem?
[17:06:57] <JT-Shop> no, now the MB is not booting up

[17:14:22] <beikeland> so i just lost a pci-e parallel port over a reboot; no trace of at with lspci or dmesg. get out the big sledgehammer?
[17:16:45] <gregcnc> never seen a tapping head like that who made those?
[17:17:54] <archivist> ebay search archer tapping
[17:18:42] <archivist> no idea who made the one in the video
[17:21:10] <gregcnc> deep in the comments it says Autal. I have Tampatic.
[17:21:22] <gregcnc> or Tapmatic
[17:22:07] <archivist> effin things fall out the morse taper though
[17:22:21] <gregcnc> No on my Arboga
[17:24:13] <gregcnc> It has a nut on the front of the spindle nose. But I need to make a few more nuts to make changing tools more convenient. Otherwise generally annoying do to lack of tooling.

[17:45:40] <Erant> Hooo boy. FSWizard is saying max RPM (5000) , 0.016WOC, 0.5DOC, 30IPM for the 1/4" carbide rougher in 1018.
[17:46:20] <Erant> That'll be an experience.
[17:46:57] <archivist> is the machine rigid enough for that
[17:47:10] <ssi> yeah the calculations assume a very rigid machine
[17:48:27] <Erant> It's not. So I'm halfing the IPM/RPM.
[17:48:30] -!- cusspvz has quit [Quit: My Mac has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…]
[17:50:00] <Erant> And probably half the DOC as well.
[17:51:12] -!- Frank__2 has quit [Quit: Nettalk6 - www.ntalk.de]
[17:51:29] <gregcnc> for a given feed per tooth torque is the same, so cutting force doesn't change. reducing depth will reduce cutting force.
[17:52:21] <ssi> correct... halving RPM and feed is gonna give you the same force with a reduction in surface finish probably
[17:52:56] <ssi> although if you're halving RPM mechanically via a gear change you'll get a torque increase
[17:53:33] <archivist> or listen to the machine and select a quiet speed/feed and doc
[17:54:22] <gregcnc> Erant, you were using 1/2" or 3/8" before?
[17:54:41] <Erant> gregcnc: I was using 3/8" on Alu, which was fine.
[17:54:43] <CaptHindsight> "our small company does not pay by CC, paypal or prepay, only by P.O." heh, nothing like demanding credit
[17:55:01] <Erant> 0.05" WOC, 0.25" DOC, 15IPM at 2000RPM.

[17:55:47] <ssi> Erant: upside is 1018 clears chips better
[17:56:05] <Erant> It made MUCH quicker work on my small machine.

[17:56:15] -!- teepee has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[17:56:17] <Sync> wut ssi
[17:56:24] <ssi> 1/4" is small, if it has much length/stickout, it's gonna be chattery
[17:56:24] <Erant> Probably too long. 3/4"
[17:56:41] <CaptHindsight> "oh and I'd like to take an hour of your time consulting before I place my $100 order"
[17:57:01] <gregcnc> pay attention to torque when check F/S, it will give you some indication of what the machine will like with other materials
[17:57:45] <Erant> Lemme run the numbers for what I'm doing with the 6061 rougher.
[18:00:54] <Erant> About 1.9in-lb of torque, 10lbs of cutting force.
[18:02:08] <Erant> The 1/4" comes out to 1.3in-lb of torque with the 5000RPM + 30IPM.

[18:06:53] <gregcnc> They were reground, recoated, with wax still on them. but they didn't regrind the flutes only the ends, WTF, there were 8 or so of these.

[18:07:25] <ssi> you can regrind the ends on a surface grinder with a fixture... need a proper T&C grinder to do the flutes

[19:03:46] <gregcnc> but it seems mid and premium surcharges are huge now
[19:04:30] <ssi> 1.65 here

[19:29:13] <Computer_barf> so yesterday I added a cool "probe screen" tab to linux cnc , It was a bit tricky getting it going but now looks quite nice, which has made me wonder about other similar things.
[19:29:15] <Computer_barf> https://forum.linuxcnc.org/forum/49-basic-configuration/29187-work-with-probe
[19:29:40] <Computer_barf> so im wondering if there is other similar add on utilities like this out there
[19:29:54] <skunkworks> have you looked at features?
[19:30:05] <Computer_barf> like maybe a tab for conversational / canned routines
[19:30:24] <Computer_barf> i saw features but it appeared to be more probe stuff

[19:33:30] <_methods> yeah
[19:34:57] <FinboySlick> Not quite as cool as the Grisworld's though.

[22:43:31] <andypugh> It’s a motor mounting bracket I wanted the mounting face perpendicular to the base plate.

[22:56:24] <andypugh> The knurled ring is geared to the adjusting ring, so it increases radius by 0.1mm every revolution (when configured that way).
[22:56:49] <andypugh> Sync: I already have a UPA4, but it’s in a 4 morse taper and I have no way to spin it.
[22:57:19] <Sync> you can do it like the owner of my upa4, cut the MT4 off and weld a SK40 on it

[22:58:07] <CaptHindsight> http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wohlhaupter-UPA-4-Ausdrehkopf-boring-head-UPA4-gebraucht-used-/321683136540
[22:58:15] <Sync> they probably wanted less stickout so they just welded a huge bar on it
[22:58:20] <Sync> it has less than 2µm runout
[22:58:20] <andypugh> I have thought of cutting it off, but I would re-create the special Wohlhaupter removable shank. I have BT30, 30Int and 3MT shangs for mt UPA3
[22:58:39] <Sync> and is almost not recognizable
[22:59:01] <Sync> I would *love* to have one with the removable shank
[23:00:07] <CaptHindsight> the go for as much as $2k used
[23:00:11] <andypugh> Sync: Do you know how they hold the shanks on? It’s super-clever
[23:01:01] <Sync> yes
[23:01:12] <Sync> usually for around 300€ over here CaptHindsight

[23:07:34] <andypugh> When you handle one you can see the money in them. My UPA4 is the most nicely made tool I have ever seen. It’s all hardened and ground with a mirror finish, The pegs that you push in to adjust the infeed rate are _geared_ together in pairs.
[23:10:06] <Frank__> this ? https://www.google.com.ar/search?q=UPA4+tool&espv=2&rlz=1C1ASUC_enAR629AR629&biw=1360&bih=667&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjU2Pia_7bKAhUMF5AKHS8lCggQ_AUIBigB#imgrc=HiEyo_sB4uk0aM%3A

[23:23:04] <Sync> haha wut
[23:23:14] <Sync> they were selling them for 678$
[23:24:29] <CaptHindsight> http://www.shars.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=404-2607 Regular Price: $138.99
[23:24:52] <CaptHindsight> Competitors' Regular Price: $753.00
[23:25:01] <CaptHindsight> fancy wording
[23:25:29] <CaptHindsight> so ~1/2 their regular price
[23:26:20] <malcom2073> Lol, marketing

[23:26:52] <CaptHindsight> I wonder who they consider their competitor
[23:27:02] <JT-Shop> I could not tell if probe left was probing to the left or the left side of an object
[23:27:03] <CaptHindsight> who carries the same brands
[23:27:45] <gregcnc> they compare to Iscar it's knocked off of

[23:35:54] <gregcnc> You'll go crazy looking for the best deal and commonly available inexpensive inserts. Milling inserts seem proprietary, at least not universal, only fitting one or two brands.
