[00:00:34] <XXCoder> it cant be flipped and hard to damage but VERY easy to push I'd guess. and head isnt physically bolted on just magnets.
[00:01:09] <XXCoder> though not sure how it would damage other bots lol
[00:01:21] <Sync_> andypugh: the problem with Ti on Ti is the bad surface tribology
[00:01:24] <XXCoder> maybe by running around till other bot runs out of power
[00:01:36] <XXCoder> new word, gonna look
[00:01:52] <andypugh> XXCoder: You asked a very valid question. it’s been a long time since I had to make anything with no materials and no tools.
[00:01:54] <Sync_> he'll at least need to get hard anodizing on one side
[00:02:30] <XXCoder> andypugh: not nesscarily as guy used a drill press and basic tools, and wood plastics
[00:02:44] <XXCoder> 2 drills, some arudino, and some misc hardware
[00:02:47] <andypugh> And 3D printing
[00:03:15] <XXCoder> that too. that ones bit out of most people "haves" list
[00:03:28] <Sync_> o0
[00:03:42] <andypugh> I have had access to a lathe for my whole life, so I can’t really imagine trying to do anythign without one.
[00:03:42] <XXCoder> Sync_: Ti on Ti causes more wear?
[00:03:46] <Sync_> no
[00:03:47] <XXCoder> if not hard anodized
[00:03:53] <Sync_> it will cold weld
[00:04:02] <XXCoder> h self-reactive eh
[00:04:14] <andypugh> Milk of Magnesia?
[00:04:33] <Sync_> well, you could probably get away with something like that
[00:04:48] <Sync_> but in general if you have Ti bolts, you need surface treatment
[00:04:56] <XXCoder> intresting
[00:05:11] <XXCoder> whats other negative properies of Ti?
[00:05:35] <andypugh> Difficult to weld
[00:05:51] <andypugh> You need to shield the back-side of the weld.
[00:05:57] <XXCoder> guys using 3 deodorizers as bearing for head
[00:06:05] <Sync_> no, you need to shield it super well from oxygen
[00:06:11] <Sync_> just purging the back is not enough
[00:06:17] <Sync_> or just barely acceptable
[00:06:19] <XXCoder> works and very light which is important as head is held by magnets only
[00:06:25] <XXCoder> balsa wood too
[00:06:32] <andypugh> Though I had good success spot-welding Ti on my Robotwars robot years ago, as spot-welds are self-shielding
[00:07:15] <Sync_> I just built a purge chamber for the few parts I had to do at work
[00:07:29] <Sync_> connected it to a MS and everything was well
[00:07:50] <XXCoder> Sync_: not surpised as that "family" of metals is pretty reactive.
[00:08:17] <XXCoder> I wonder if Ti also instantly coats with Ti oxide on exposure just like alum does?
[00:08:26] <Sync_> yes
[00:08:33] <Sync_> but the layer is thinner
[00:08:46] <XXCoder> I wonder if that means we can make Ti gems
[00:09:10] <Sync_> o0
[00:09:11] -!- kalxas has quit [Quit: Goodbye]
[00:09:22] <XXCoder> there IS alum gems after all
[00:10:37] <Sync_> well sure
[00:10:45] <Sync_> there is rutile, which is mostly tio2
[00:11:29] <XXCoder> interesting looking gem

[00:13:20] <XXCoder> pretty tempted to grab a sample heh
[00:14:06] <XXCoder> apparently it is very cheao
[00:14:07] <andypugh> It’s very pretty
[00:14:23] <Sync_> yeah, the blue is nice
[00:14:38] <Sync_> unfortunately you can't really make large TiN crystals
[00:14:51] <XXCoder> blue? most I see is usually clear with yellow crystals embedded in it
[00:15:20] <andypugh> XXCoder: Rutile or Benitoite?
[00:15:27] <XXCoder> rutile
[00:15:40] <andypugh> We weren't
[00:15:53] <XXCoder> googled "pure titanium crystal" different results, blue like you said
[00:19:28] <XXCoder> http://www.minerals.net/search_results.aspx?q=titanium few gems has Ti as compoment
[00:19:38] <XXCoder> but seems no pure "Ti rust" gem
[00:20:17] <andypugh> TiO2 is very white. It’s the main pigment in white paint.
[00:20:20] <XXCoder> ah I'm wrong
[00:20:31] <XXCoder> http://www.minerals.net/mineral/rutile.aspx
[00:20:46] <XXCoder> not pure but pretty close
[00:21:25] <XXCoder> heh I do enjoy readng about crystals sometimes, but I get annoyed when guy call me crystal healer or some bullshit term
[00:21:50] <XXCoder> crystal is crystal. no "vibo" or "aura cleasiung" or whatever
[00:23:43] <andypugh> Yes, no reason to invent mystical powers. crystals are interesting enough anyway
[00:23:51] <XXCoder> Sync_: curious why cant make large TiO2 crystals
[00:23:58] <XXCoder> indeed andy'
[00:24:39] <andypugh> Have you seen these photos?
http://s.ngm.com/2008/11/crystal-giants/img/crystal-cave-615.jpg
[00:25:04] <XXCoder> yeah! too bad the area is imical to human life
[00:25:15] <XXCoder> wasntg it around 90C with dangerous air?
[00:25:20] <andypugh> Yes
[00:25:28] <XXCoder> in a way thats good
[00:25:33] <XXCoder> people would take samples.
[00:25:45] <andypugh> And I think they sealed it back up and allowed it to re-fill
[00:25:49] <Jymmm> XXCoder: that's not an issue as much as people are resticted from visiting AT ALL
[00:25:55] <pcw_home> TIO2 is by far the most common white pigment (due to its extremely high refractive index)
[00:26:09] <XXCoder> one of my favorites is ape cave, people keeps touching walls when we really should not
[00:26:18] <XXCoder> Jymmm: I know.
[00:26:36] <Jymmm> XXCoder: Cause I'd REALLY REALLY like to visit that
[00:26:55] <XXCoder> it takes walls long time to regrow from damage from touching :( VERY low energy ecosystem
[00:27:14] <andypugh> A friend of mine elsewhere was talking about Vantablack, and said it had a very low libido. I suspect that puns don’t work so well when most of your audience don’t know the word you switched.
[00:27:19] <XXCoder> I see names that was probably there for lasy 20 years
[00:27:33] <Jymmm> XXCoder: I'd even wear a pink bunny suit to not contaminate anything
[00:27:49] <XXCoder> Jymmm: me too. I am willing to suffer to protect and get to see it.
[00:27:55] <_methods> you wear the bunny suit all the time anyways
[00:28:10] <_methods> you and your boyfriend furrywolf

[00:35:06] <XXCoder> andypugh: you actually looked upon those crystals? dang
[00:35:22] <andypugh> No, no, nothing like that.
[00:35:44] <andypugh> Just a huge hole a friend of a frienc found in the UK
[00:36:14] <XXCoder> oh lol ok
[00:36:54] <andypugh> He did it an interesting way, he found a comment in a document in a library, and that gave him the drive to dig out sedimented-up passages for a couple of years.
[00:37:41] <andypugh> And then he found the deepest vertical shaft in the UK. It’s rather odd to think that there is stuff still to be discovered in the UK.
[00:38:05] <XXCoder> yeah
[00:38:36] <andypugh> There are actually places in the UK that I have veen the first to ever visit, but nothing on the scale of Titan.
[00:39:01] <andypugh> I have only ever found a few feet of barely man-sized passage
[00:39:14] <XXCoder> after all internal volume grows at x^3 while surface is at 2x^2Pi
[00:39:22] <XXCoder> so there is lot to explore lol
[00:40:57] <andypugh> A tourist once asked a cave guide in Mammoth cave who I used to chat with the only truly stupid question I have heard “So, how many miles of unexplored passage is there in this cave?”
[00:41:17] <XXCoder> the answer is infinite.

[02:06:06] <Crom> ARRRRRRGH!!!!! damn sewing machine... bottom tension is basically nothing, top is a bit it's basically at the least top and bottom I can do and it's still puckering
[02:06:41] <Jymmm> Crom: fabric?
[02:07:10] <Jymmm> Crom: what fabric?
[02:07:39] <Jymmm> Crom: and 3.5 is typical tension setting
[02:07:43] <Jymmm> 3 to 3.5
[02:07:49] <Jymmm> for most fabrics

[02:10:05] <Jymmm> Crom: just a straight foot?
[02:10:09] <Crom> I guess I'll loosen the bottom tension even more...

[02:10:32] <Crom> brand new straight foot, new need plate and feed dogs

[02:11:05] <Jymmm> Crom: WHAT is puckering, the fabric or the thread?
[02:11:07] <Crom> fabric, since the thread tension is a bit too tight still
[02:11:45] <Crom> timing is perfect too
[02:13:07] <Jymmm> Crom: is it threaded properly? Maybe rethread the entire thing? (not the bobbin)
[02:13:16] <Jymmm> Crom:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIu7-Hy4HKg
[02:14:35] <Jymmm> Crom: are you using a heavy thread?
[02:14:38] <Crom> correctly threaded.
[02:14:47] <Crom> nah, pretty light
[02:16:19] <Crom> I hate using light thread and cloth... This machine with 23 needle and heavy tent thread and 8 layers of 8oz duck is great!
[02:17:07] <Crom> using a 60/10 needle with light thread on silk is really hard to setup for

[02:18:35] <Crom> it just doesn't have the adjustment down at the light end of things...
[02:18:43] <Jymmm> but tension on THAT machine should be a non issue
[02:19:12] <Crom> like the drag of the thread just coming out of the bobbin is too much
[02:19:44] <Jymmm> remove the thing that holds the bobbin and blow it out with a can of air

[09:02:23] <wicki> hi again...
[09:04:11] <wicki> is here anybody who is using tangentkins?
[09:07:08] <archivist> better to ask the real question rather than a survey type question
[09:07:32] -!- Nutter has quit [Excess Flood]
[09:15:13] <wicki> maybe... but may also be, that nobody here has ever used or even knows about the existence of tangentkins...
[09:17:26] <archivist> people know the docs, and know the uses, the real question can probably be answered by others as well
[09:19:49] <yasnak> lol
[09:20:57] <archivist> it is a damned struggle sometimes
[09:21:03] <wicki> the last docs of tangentkins I found are several years old.... and tey end with: "I don't think that tangentkins is a good solution." - Im not really shure, if it is possible, to use tangentkins to lift off a knife if the angle of an angular-axis move exceeds - for example - 10 degrees
[09:25:03] <wicki> the kinetics - as I see them - are not able to stop the moving of X and Y, lift off Z, rotate A and put down Z again after A is rotated
[09:26:26] <wicki> so, is that question enough to get a qualified answer? ;-)
[09:27:24] <yasnak> You're doing this all as one path? Sorry, I know nothing of linuxcnc but I can guess if you had different paths you could make it work. I'm guessing the module doesn't just "know" wht you want it to do. you need to do work as well.
[09:28:04] <archivist> I would do it earlier, in gcode
[09:28:04] -!- maybekoo2 [maybekoo2!~kook@236.152.broadband3.iol.cz] has joined #linuxcnc

[09:30:49] <pink_vampire> yasnak: I cant imagine my life without my nails..
[09:30:58] <yasnak> Or maybe something like a wire edm setup where you have your right and left comp (g40, g41, g42) and also taper comp (g50,g51,g52) where you could make your postprocessor spit out the correct code. Again, I'm just a cnc machinist who likes talking shop. Others know more here for sure.
[09:32:16] <pink_vampire> yasnak: and yeah.. It's very complicated with metal working.
[09:32:45] <XXCoder> I dont know tangentkins
[09:33:41] <archivist> for character cutting I would hack something like ttt to add A to its output with lifts where needed
[09:34:11] <archivist> or hack dxf2gcode in a similar manner
[09:34:16] <wicki> yes, I wrote a import-filter for .hpgl-files then - it works. but its also interesting for me, to solve this problem in realtime.
[09:34:45] <archivist> I am not sure realtime is the right place
[09:34:49] <yasnak> lol
[09:34:52] <yasnak> MDI?

[09:37:27] <archivist> in the kins is basically too late to make good choices
[09:39:55] <wicki> it may be possible, with a lot of position-shifting, I think. but: is it possible, to pause an axis-movement in the kins?

[09:49:56] <yasnak> yeah, i mean thats normal. you go to home depot for a screw and it'll cost the same amount i can make 1000 pcs for

[09:50:55] <maxcnc> hi
[09:51:35] <yasnak> morning
[09:51:39] <maxcnc> yasnak: there are posts out that do this correction on cutter direction angle change
[09:52:04] <maxcnc> and its quite easy on linuxccn to import the g-code thrue a python script
[09:52:05] <yasnak> oh definately. there is posts for everything ;)
[09:52:24] <maxcnc> that fills in the C move on every step
[09:52:52] <maxcnc> i use the C for the tool orientation
[09:52:52] <yasnak> i was just saying that sometimes you need to actually do the work yourself. that or make what others have done work for you. sorry.
[09:52:58] <archivist> wicki, remember you material will affect the suitable radius and lift so better off upstream
[09:53:04] <pink_vampire> I got today, about 1'X2' 3/8" aluminum sheet, some half inch brass rods, about 1' length. thick plate about 1.5" of aluminum 6" by 8", and some small brass plate 1/4" 6" by 6 " ans the big cold roll steel,
[09:53:31] <pink_vampire> everything less then 100
[09:53:49] <maxcnc> yasnak: more difficult is to find a CAM that outputs only straights on arc moves to get best performence
[09:54:23] <yasnak> maxcnc, eh. sure. it just costs more with the hsm path cam's
[09:54:53] <pink_vampire> but I don't have the model of the metals... so I don't know if it's a good deal. or f I can use it.
[09:54:56] <yasnak> HSMWorks has a free 2.5 axis cam software, I'd say thats going to be the best thing for that.
[09:55:01] <maxcnc> if you spend money on it shure but you can go for free with python already used
[09:55:48] <maxcnc> the cutter needs plain 2D
[09:55:48] <maxcnc> so no need for a 3D cam
[09:55:56] <maxcnc> as simple as it is Qcad can do the job for you
[09:56:11] <yasnak> sure. whatever works for you definately
[09:56:22] <maxcnc> i work on heekscnc as it can overrun the path
[09:56:23] <XXCoder> maxcnc: bit surpised there isnt any g02 to g1 convertor
[09:56:24] <yasnak> i just use notepad and a calculator :P
[09:56:28] <XXCoder> g02/g03
[09:56:33] <maxcnc> best to get realy cutted parts
[09:56:45] <yasnak> there is many machinist calc apps out there xxcoder
[09:57:08] <pink_vampire> bobcam it's also good option.
[09:57:12] <maxcnc> XXCoder: the cam itself outputs only g1 no circular
[09:57:13] <yasnak> bobcam sucks :P
[09:57:20] <XXCoder> yasnak: so machinist calculator can convert single g2 or g3 line to bunch of g1 moves>
[09:57:31] <pink_vampire> but it's 700$
[09:57:37] <yasnak> sure, it will break the arcs up into lines. you can tell it the spacing
[09:57:44] <pink_vampire> and hsmworks is 4K
[09:57:58] <XXCoder> there is few free options
[09:58:02] <maxcnc> like rhino 2015 can do this on the free version
[09:58:05] <yasnak> I use this alot when doing polar milling as it uses a C and then you mill too close to center the machine freaks out
[09:58:15] <pink_vampire> I don't know what to do with the material that I got.
[09:58:18] <XXCoder> some isnt very good. some is awesome on modeling but sucks on cam (freecad)
[09:58:32] <pink_vampire> I don't know how to identify them.
[09:58:33] <yasnak> pink_vampire, you need to make chips with it
[09:58:40] <yasnak> is it magnetic?
[09:58:52] <yasnak> post pictures
[09:59:00] <maxcnc> XXCoder: agree i use about 5 CAD and more then 5 CAM
[09:59:02] <XXCoder> magnetic/nonmagnetic do cull out many possibilities
[09:59:13] <pink_vampire> I know that the brass is brass, and the bar id cold rolled..
[09:59:17] <maxcnc> plasma is sheetcam awaysom
[09:59:31] <maxcnc> on Foam 3D is Rhino best
[09:59:37] <pink_vampire> and the aluminum is aluminum
[09:59:45] <maxcnc> Papercutting no way around Heeks
[10:00:10] <pink_vampire> but I don't know what is the exact number of the metals...
[10:00:22] <pink_vampire> like 6061..
[10:00:24] <maxcnc> and Deskproto for 4Axis miling angular
[10:00:30] <pink_vampire> you know what I mean?
[10:00:37] <yasnak> vampire, why would it matter?
[10:00:48] <yasnak> you don't know the heat/lot number. not like you need material traceability
[10:01:00] <maxcnc> modifiying models with blender a rewal quick cool thing to get a watertight modell
[10:01:07] <wicki> archivist: I can tell the kins the radius by halcmd or tool parameter. my basic question is: is it possible to pause an already started axis-move inside the kins for an while an continue later
[10:01:24] <yasnak> slide hold it?
[10:01:35] <pink_vampire> but it will work on my machine?
[10:01:55] <yasnak> lol. i mean beyond the actual material...make a cut and find out
[10:02:04] <maxcnc> wicki: the move is stope imidiate not antr the end
[10:02:29] <maxcnc> and continued from there not from the start
[10:02:50] <pink_vampire> for example. the hot rolled steel the I got from home depot was very complicated to machine.
[10:03:02] <yasnak> why?
[10:03:14] <pink_vampire> It get hard
[10:03:22] <yasnak> you're cutting it too slow then :P
[10:03:22] <maxcnc> homedepoo steel is not defind
[10:03:28] <yasnak> less rpm, more feed
[10:03:29] <wicki> maxcnc: that would be OK - but how to stop the movement?
[10:03:33] <pink_vampire> I had to move fast and take small cut.
[10:03:36] <maxcnc> it might get triggy to repeet one week later
[10:03:36] <XXCoder> pink_vampire: dont expose yourself to any smoke when cutting brass. you might become allegric to brass. I know one machinist that got that at work
[10:03:38] <yasnak> exactly
[10:03:50] <maxcnc> wicki: just press pause
[10:03:57] <XXCoder> he had to leave to home and recover when someone runs brass rods
[10:04:07] <maxcnc> or with a simple button on halui command
[10:04:32] <yasnak> xxcoder, we cut beryllium dry :P
[10:04:33] <wicki> maxcnc: not by keyboard.... inside the xxxkins.c-prog
[10:04:35] <pink_vampire> how you get smoke from brass??
[10:04:49] <yasnak> and 17-4. Chromium
[10:05:04] <XXCoder> dunno maybe not smoke? guys said can easily smell it, I assumed it was smoking
[10:05:07] <maxcnc> wicki: why so deep if the gui takes action on this
[10:05:10] <XXCoder> I cant smell so yea
[10:06:08] <yasnak> i've cut brass, 14-7 and beryllium dry for years. just recently the later two have been heavily restricted and proven to cause cancer. you will be fine with brass.
[10:06:30] <pink_vampire> to use flooding?
[10:06:37] <wicki> maxcnc: as I explained: pause X and Y, lift Z, turn knife, lower knife and go on
[10:07:02] <maxcnc> wicki: normel task wil last about 0.02s so about 50times per sec gui and realtime is synced and will do what you want
[10:07:18] <pink_vampire> beryllium is toxic!
[10:07:27] <pink_vampire> the dust
[10:07:32] <yasnak> yes
[10:07:35] <XXCoder> everything is toxic - depends on dose
[10:07:39] <yasnak> yes
[10:07:46] <maxcnc> wicki: oh i see you might turn the knove outside the part
[10:07:57] <yasnak> it all eventually goes somewhere.
[10:08:06] <maxcnc> so best to do this by a simple mcode
[10:08:08] <pink_vampire> but beryllium is transparent to X-ray
[10:08:32] <maxcnc> the mcode also can calculate the angle of the turn
[10:08:40] <yasnak> maxcnc, why not just run the cutter to beginning of arc. put in m1. stop machine and turn cutter. restart program at whatever point and keep going?
[10:09:13] <yasnak> *stop cutter, lift z, then m1.
[10:10:19] <maxcnc> just put M111 beond every gcode after fiorst down
[10:11:08] <pink_vampire> there is something that I should to avoid when I machining graphite?
[10:11:16] <yasnak> the dust lol
[10:11:25] <yasnak> otherwise its fairly easy to machine.
[10:11:36] <pink_vampire> yasnak: to use flooding on it?
[10:11:37] <maxcnc> pin sharp edges on fuöll cutr
[10:11:49] <XXCoder> pink_vampire: just curious why machine graphite
[10:11:56] <maxcnc> pink_vampire: it will break out the part
[10:11:59] <pink_vampire> secret.
[10:12:11] <XXCoder> ah that giant pencil heh
[10:12:16] <pink_vampire> no..
[10:12:17] <maxcnc> and work slow from top to down in full shape
[10:12:22] <yasnak> if you use routers it will machine ok
[10:12:29] <pink_vampire> I'm working on sink EDM machine.
[10:12:30] <maxcnc> best to stay within 5mm depth
[10:12:45] <yasnak> what kind of sinker?
[10:12:49] <pink_vampire> something small
[10:12:52] <yasnak> i've got a fanuc
[10:13:02] <maxcnc> pink_vampire: there is special graphit for this
[10:13:21] <pink_vampire> instead of using broching bard and stuff like that..
[10:13:23] <maxcnc> we got a agii100D
[10:13:28] <maxcnc> agie
[10:13:30] <pink_vampire> also to drill ball bearings.
[10:13:33] <Sync_> pink_vampire: you can't flood when machining edm electrodes
[10:14:16] <wicki> my idea to do in in the kins: save the target-pos. of X and Y, set the target pos to akt.-pos (XY-movement will stop), set the A/Z-targets, wait until ready, restore the target XY-pos
[10:14:43] <pink_vampire> Sync_: what about alcohol mist
[10:14:48] <yasnak> lol
[10:15:02] <yasnak> man you guys make my head hurt
[10:15:09] <maxcnc> wicki: why so complicated if it workes with nothing to do just change the post
[10:15:35] <pink_vampire> so there is no why to prevent the dust?
[10:15:37] <maxcnc> wicki: lots of us use this kind of work
[10:15:50] <maxcnc> and it workes fine
[10:15:51] <wicki> maxcnc: because I want to know if it works ;-)
[10:15:56] <maxcnc> even on double heads UVW
[10:16:10] <yasnak> wicki, test it by running it above the part first. does it work? cool. set it down and cut
[10:16:10] <pink_vampire> maybe machine it under distilled water bath?
[10:16:25] <Sync_> you can't put moisture in the electrodes
[10:16:49] <pink_vampire> Sync_: why?
[10:16:51] <yasnak> pink: use a shop vac. done
[10:17:09] <Sync_> because they will explode when you use them
[10:17:13] <XXCoder> probably just wear a good paracles quality mask
[10:17:22] <XXCoder> hospital grade isnt enough
[10:17:38] -!- Akex_ has quit [Quit: Connection closed for inactivity]
[10:18:05] <pink_vampire> and I need high feed rate and small cut? or the opposite?
[10:18:33] <yasnak> On something small?
[10:18:53] <pink_vampire> on block of graphite
[10:19:22] <yasnak> Does your machine run fast enough and smooth enough? I'd go as fast as you think it can accurately go
[10:19:40] <pink_vampire> max 5M / min
[10:19:56] <yasnak> just take a cut and see what happens. honestly there is no rule of thump
[10:20:02] <pink_vampire> but normally I work 1.5M/min max
[10:20:04] <yasnak> *thumb. this is where you need to learn.
[10:20:39] <XXCoder> 1.5 meters a min?
[10:20:43] <pink_vampire> yes.
[10:20:57] <XXCoder> think thats pretty lot faster than my machines 20 ipm
[10:21:02] <pink_vampire> it's fast enough?
[10:21:07] <maxcnc> oh is see a sample here in graphite let me make a quick picture
[10:21:45] <pink_vampire> maxcnc: thanks.
[10:21:47] <XXCoder> in/s actually
[10:22:01] <pink_vampire> XXCoder: what do you mean?
[10:22:29] <maxcnc> its a 0.2mm 5mm depth
[10:23:03] <maxcnc> http://heimwerkermarkt-tretter.de/gr_2016.jpg
[10:23:13] <pink_vampire> 0.2mm of? and 5mm depth of cut?
[10:23:23] <maxcnc> oh its only 3mm depth
[10:23:27] <XXCoder> maxcnc: thyats very detailed graphite
[10:23:35] <XXCoder> what was it used for, if not secret?

[10:25:33] <wicki> ok - an know to something completly different: where to find gcode-files for standard subd-connectors?
[10:25:46] <pink_vampire> there is special tools for graphite of regular HSS will work fine
[10:25:51] <pink_vampire> ?
[10:26:01] <XXCoder> max left so dunno
[10:26:08] <XXCoder> wild guess, regular would be fine
[10:26:13] <pink_vampire> :(
[10:26:21] <pink_vampire> why he left?
[10:26:21] <XXCoder> HSS seem to work on everything not harder than alum
[10:26:25] <XXCoder> lunch
[10:26:28] <XXCoder> he said so
[10:26:49] <Deejay> somewhat early for lunch. its 11:26 am here
[10:27:19] <pink_vampire> but graphite is soft and brittle..
[10:27:41] <XXCoder> pink_vampire: just keep cutting force low I'd say?

[10:28:23] <XXCoder> its expensive?
[10:28:50] <pink_vampire> it's one of the most common things on earth...
[10:29:13] <XXCoder> yeah carbon

[10:30:11] <XXCoder> eats tools though lol
[10:30:18] <pink_vampire> cheaper..

[10:31:51] <pink_vampire> I want to try to use mechanical pencil lead as electrode and drill very small holes in hard metals
[10:31:55] <XXCoder> interesting. graphite "chips" + coolant = tool eater

[10:33:12] <yasnak> pink_vampire: no, that would be KY :P
[10:33:26] <XXCoder> alien drools is KY
[10:33:33] <pink_vampire> ok..

[10:34:22] <pink_vampire> how*
[10:34:39] <yasnak> XXCoder: yeah, I can assume it would be fun to machine. I have milled/turned nitinol. it is also very very hard stuff and a beast of its own
[10:34:43] <pink_vampire> dry*
[10:34:48] <XXCoder> cracked article, interview with one of movie effects expert
[10:35:22] <XXCoder> yasnak: yeah I had thin strip left afetr cutting. I had to bend it doube over 120 times for it to break

[10:36:03] <pink_vampire> I know nitinol is very sensitive to temperature ..
[10:36:08] <XXCoder> "Second, the starting raw graphite material should be dry before machining. If your raw material stock has been stored outside or been exposed to water it should be baked to drive out any excessive moisture. The water and dust will make an abrasive slurry, which will dramatically reduce your tool life."
[10:36:29] <pink_vampire> do you use coolant on the nitinol?
[10:36:36] <XXCoder> "hirdly, it is very important to have an adequate ventilation system to contain and vent the graphite dust and chips produced during the machining operations. Graphite dust is electrically conductive and will find its way into every crack or opening in a machine enclosure."
[10:36:40] <yasnak> i use high pressure oil
[10:36:44] <yasnak> carbide tooling
[10:37:00] <XXCoder> ouch my machine would die. graphite is VERY conductive
[10:37:01] <yasnak> perfected feedrates, any variation goes from running good to taking a massive shit
[10:37:06] <XXCoder> seal your computer against it
[10:37:44] <pink_vampire> I have and idea
[10:37:48] <yasnak> you don't put filters on your computers if they're near the machning area? :P
[10:38:01] <XXCoder> graphite dust is VERY fine. you have to figure how to keep computer cool and zero exposure
[10:38:11] <XXCoder> yasnak: I dont have complete setup yet'
[10:38:15] <yasnak> ah
[10:38:18] <XXCoder> its complete in way it runs
[10:38:23] <pink_vampire> the computer with filters.
[10:38:26] <XXCoder> but yeah still need to build some case

[10:38:52] <pink_vampire> the new panel going to be seal
[10:39:00] <XXCoder> all slightly dirty due to all that dust over time
[10:39:18] <pink_vampire> I'm cleaning all the time.
[10:39:19] <XXCoder> I guess that filter has HUGE surface area so air can easily go in but dust cant
[10:39:24] <pink_vampire> can't see mess.
[10:39:37] <pink_vampire> drive me crazy!!
[10:40:22] <XXCoder> 4: keep tools VERY sharp while cutting graphite
[10:40:47] <pink_vampire> wowww now I see the video
[10:40:51] <XXCoder> and finally 5) climb cut only as other way causes rougher finisgh

[11:49:42] <__rob2> they are all pre centred
[11:50:02] <__rob2> my worry is a bore that is true at the start, but not on the other side
[11:50:25] <__rob2> same problem with mill or lathe
[11:51:05] <__rob2> they're T2.5 ones, so quite small
[11:51:41] -!- sumpfralle [sumpfralle!~lars@erina.opennet-initiative.de] has joined #linuxcnc
[11:51:45] <Sync_> depends on the quality of the pulley in the first place
[11:52:48] <__rob2> biggest problem is I dont have enough on the pulley to clamp it, and run a dial indicator to check runout
[11:53:00] <__rob2> can't really run the indicator on the actual pulley teeth
[11:53:10] <Sync_> you can
[11:53:26] <__rob2> ohh, thought that would be bad for the indicator
[11:53:42] <__rob2> so you normally would check runout along the length?
[11:53:53] <__rob2> to check for tangential misalignment on the pulley
[11:54:14] <__rob2> cos the problems I have don't seem to just be runout
[11:54:23] <__rob2> but its actually gripped at an angle in the chuck
[11:54:30] <Sync_> you don't turn the lathe on obviously
[11:54:49] <__rob2> so one end has more runout then the gripped end
[11:54:56] <Sync_> you should tap it before final tightening
[11:55:04] <__rob2> if that makes sense
[11:56:01] <__rob2> http://snag.gy/dn6Ua.jpg
[11:56:09] <__rob2> obviously not that severe, but that gives the idea

[12:44:25] <__rob2> just ordered one
[12:44:53] <__rob2> most stuff I just do in 1 pass so its ok, but when you want to bore an existing part, never had any luck
[12:44:57] <__rob2> or flip a part
[12:45:17] <maxcnc> hi new-cnc first in here or just nick change
[12:45:38] <maxcnc> where in the world are you Asia Europ US
[12:46:55] <pink_vampire> __rob2: ihave an idea for you.
[12:47:15] <pink_vampire> you have a milling machine?
[12:47:33] <pink_vampire> I have *
[12:47:43] <new-cnc> lol, just setting up some hard drives for my Mesa Store
[12:47:50] <maxcnc> rob is it the 230e or standard
[12:48:21] <maxcnc> new-cnc: = psw
[12:48:38] <pink_vampire> maxcnc: I want to ask you something.
[12:48:40] <__rob2> 250 is the new I think
[12:48:43] <new-cnc> new-cnc: = JT
[12:48:49] <__rob2> its just the 230 I think
[12:49:08] <__rob2> not sure what the /e version has that it doesn't
[12:49:26] <new-cnc> http://mesaus.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=68
[12:49:29] <__rob2> pink_vampire, yes I do
[12:49:33] <maxcnc> the flansch for the PF
[12:49:35] <__rob2> whats your idea ?
[12:49:35] <pink_vampire> maxcnc: are you using special tools to cut the graphite, ar any HSS tool will work just fine?
[12:49:53] <maxcnc> VHM
[12:51:29] -!- new-cnc has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[12:51:29] <maxcnc> pink the Hss will rubber shortly
[12:51:29] <maxcnc> and then the finish path will burst of your pah
[12:51:29] <maxcnc> part
[12:51:39] <pink_vampire> if you clamp the part tp the machine table, and use probe with large ball you can find the center of the pulley, and machine the bore.
[12:51:49] <maxcnc> pink_vampire: the most to warry about if tiny things needed is the graphite itself
[12:51:53] <pink_vampire> tp = to
[12:52:17] <maxcnc> pink_vampire: the parts are fixed oon to the EDM stuff holder
[12:52:28] <maxcnc> and mashined in this
[12:52:52] <maxcnc> no tool moves of this till the work is finished
[12:53:08] <pink_vampire> maxcnc: but what type of end-mills are you using for cutting the graphite..
[12:53:08] <maxcnc> about 1k holders in rotation
[12:53:36] <maxcnc> depends on shape
[12:53:49] <maxcnc> fishtail is best for rouphing
[12:54:26] <maxcnc> and then 2mm ball with 8mm edge height on long holders
[12:54:47] <maxcnc> max i can go is 50mm depth
[12:54:53] <maxcnc> at 0.2mm wall thickness
[12:55:04] <maxcnc> let me look i got in the house a sample
[12:55:05] <pink_vampire> but it's HSS end mills?, or you have to use carbide / diamond?
[12:55:18] <pink_vampire> all my tools are HSS
[12:55:21] <maxcnc> VHM most
[12:55:33] <maxcnc> bo codet
[12:55:33] <pink_vampire> what is VHM?
[12:55:44] <maxcnc> Hard methell
[12:56:48] <pink_vampire> lol methell
[12:57:04] <maxcnc> methal
[12:58:54] <pink_vampire> look very nice cutters
[12:59:07] <pink_vampire> also very expensive
[13:00:30] <pink_vampire> http://www.amazon.com/Micro-100-VHM-500-5K-Variable-Diameter/dp/B00T4GE0VG
[13:01:03] <pink_vampire> O_o
[13:02:17] <pink_vampire> maxcnc: I want to cut a rectangular 1/8" by 1/16" about 1/4 deep from 1/4" rod
[13:02:32] <pink_vampire> and use it to cut keyways.
[13:02:56] <pink_vampire> maxcnc: do you think I can do it with HSS?
[13:03:09] <pink_vampire> or to get VHM tool?
[13:03:13] <maxcnc> yes you can
[13:03:38] <maxcnc> what max depth on the less thickness you need
[13:04:10] <maxcnc> is there sharp edges requirered or all ar >R0.3
[13:04:11] <pink_vampire> the gear is 3/16" thick..
[13:04:31] <maxcnc> metric mmm
[13:04:41] <pink_vampire> ok..
[13:04:48] <maxcnc> Why gear EDM
[13:05:16] <__rob2> need to thread some silver steel on that proxxon, hoping it will be ok for that
[13:05:19] <maxcnc> there are 3D methal printers
[13:05:36] <__rob2> I cut the rod with a grinder, then just dumped it in water to cool it off quick
[13:05:42] <__rob2> is that likely enough to harden at all ?
[13:05:45] <maxcnc> __rob2: good luck on that
[13:05:46] <pink_vampire> 4.74 mm think is the gear
[13:05:59] <__rob2> max, you think its too hard?
[13:06:05] <__rob2> its unharded stuff
[13:06:17] <maxcnc> Chrom Vanadium its shure not made for
[13:06:29] <pink_vampire> so the electrode need to be a bit long.. so about 6mm..
[13:07:37] <maxcnc> NP
[13:07:46] <pink_vampire> NP?
[13:08:03] <pink_vampire> I want to just cut the keyway.
[13:08:04] <maxcnc> is it withworth 1/8 or UNF
[13:08:23] <maxcnc> 55deg
[13:08:52] <pink_vampire> what do you mean?
[13:09:04] <__rob2> aparrently this rod is 27 HRC before hardening
[13:09:17] <pink_vampire> to make the electrode like a pyramid?
[13:09:59] <maxcnc> i think my technical english is not that good to get over your problem
[13:10:27] <maxcnc> __rob2: it will be 62 after
[13:10:43] <__rob2> yea, but i've not hardened it
[13:10:45] <__rob2> so thread it
[13:10:46] <maxcnc> you can get 65 out of some good
[13:10:48] <__rob2> then harden, right
[13:11:01] <maxcnc> yes of course
[13:11:25] <pink_vampire> I'm a beginner.. this is a place for hobby machining..
[13:11:49] <maxcnc> agree on that the parts are standard so why not byingit
[13:11:56] <pink_vampire> http://i.imgur.com/xJxNO0S.png
[13:11:59] <maxcnc> and resell
[13:12:02] <Sync_> why don't you just broach the keyway?
[13:12:03] <pink_vampire> this is the gear
[13:12:13] <Sync_> or mill it
[13:12:32] <pink_vampire> Sync_: how I can mill it?
[13:13:15] <maxcnc> just mill it
[13:13:21] <pink_vampire> how.
[13:13:41] <pink_vampire> I can't cut 90 deg corners
[13:13:41] <maxcnc> with a less radius end mill then the curves
[13:13:49] <maxcnc> its a simple path
[13:14:09] <pink_vampire> but the smallest endmill that I have is 1/16"
[13:14:10] <Sync_> you don't need square corners
[13:14:17] <maxcnc> can you upload a topview DXF
[13:14:25] <pink_vampire> and the slot is 1/16"
[13:14:36] <malcom2073_> pink_vampire: Buy a die filer :-D
[13:14:42] <Sync_> you can also just file it
[13:14:44] <pink_vampire> http://i.imgur.com/XzaWvsF.png
[13:15:04] <pink_vampire> this is the electrode the I want to make
[13:15:15] <maxcnc> there are cases on ebay at 20USD to make this rods
[13:15:50] <pink_vampire> I have 1/4" graphite rode here.
[13:15:57] <pink_vampire> rod*
[13:16:04] <Sync_> in the time spent wondering you could have made the keyway
[13:16:11] <Sync_> you don't need a sinker edm for it
[13:16:15] <Sync_> just mill the slot
[13:16:18] <Sync_> and file the corners
[13:17:01] <pink_vampire> and I also need to drill hole in ball bearing.

[13:18:26] <pink_vampire> maxcnc: but than I need a press and stuff like that.
[13:19:03] <Sync_> you have a mill
[13:19:06] <Sync_> you can use the quill
[13:19:14] <maxcnc> this tiny things can go thrue with out a press
[13:19:15] <maxcnc> it is at 0.3mm per turn
[13:19:40] <pink_vampire> maybe you right.
[13:19:50] <pink_vampire> but there is anther thing that I'm not sure about the sink EDM
[13:20:01] <maxcnc> at 6mm depth you can go miling at 0.5mm cutter so you got a 0.25R
[13:20:13] <maxcnc> and the tool got a 0.2
[13:21:03] <maxcnc> just takes little more time
[13:21:06] <pink_vampire> I need to make a loop on the controller to maintain the spark gap. but I'm not sure what I need to monitor for it.

[13:21:37] <maxcnc> the tools are within a vice distance to get pulled in
[13:21:58] <maxcnc> up to ypou
[13:22:16] <Sync_> some sinkers will just vibrate the electrode
[13:22:21] <maxcnc> more ways to solve this
[13:22:21] <maxcnc> EDM ist the most cost
[13:22:23] <Sync_> advance until they spark out and then retract

[13:36:16] <anomynous> because it sounds high tech
[13:36:22] <Sync_> yes, you measure the voltage between the electode and the part
[13:36:36] <Sync_> but you need quite a high voltage to initiate the arc without touching
[13:36:45] <pink_vampire> the resistor is to prevent shorting of the power supply?
[13:36:49] <Sync_> that why older units vibrated
[13:36:56] amnesic_away is now known as amnesic
[13:37:18] <pink_vampire> about 48V will work?
[13:37:42] <anomynous> pink_vampire, almost. Limit the current your tig-to-edm conversion produces and just maintain arc voltage like some smart guy said. But i dont know if thats nonsense. But it sounds really cool

[14:42:19] <tjtr33> pink_vampire, the ignition voltage can be 100V (common value) but only needs milliamps (10-100 common values)
[14:43:12] <tjtr33> the lower voltage cutting power can be anything above 35 volts ( has to be > discharge voltage which is 28-32V for gr/st )
[14:44:53] <tjtr33> so the 'guts' dc supply is say 5 to 150Amps at 80-115Vdc ( common values, tho lower Open Voltage works fine with a 'tickler' voltage to begin the spark)
[14:45:39] -!- Frank__7 has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]
[14:45:54] <tjtr33> the ignition voltage is related to the 'dielectric breakdown strength' of the medium ( oil or water or mist or even air)
[14:46:16] <tjtr33> and there aint no current in that spec, obly volatge and distance

[14:46:47] <tjtr33> meaning you can spark with microamps if you are close enuf and have some voltage
[14:47:28] <tjtr33> AND it means you dont get any more spark with more current ( spark being the beginning of the discharge, not the metal melting part )
[14:47:50] <tjtr33> edm rule 1 ) sparks jump and sparks hurt ;-)
[14:49:11] <tjtr33> 555 your signoff came into the buffer after i read the logs

[14:56:57] <enleth> do you have any experience with CO2 laser tube degradation while in storage? I've seen some reports stating that they deteriorate even when not in use and it's not caused by gas/vacuum leakage. Trying to figure out if keeping a spare tube in stock makes sense in the long run
[15:02:58] <Sync_> usually it does not
[15:07:59] -!- chris_99 has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[15:10:46] <enleth> apparently the internets claim that ions migrate from the electrodes and clog up the mirrors, essentially in a very slow vacuum metal deposition process
[15:13:09] <enleth> if that's the case, it would indeed make little sense to keep a spare - when it's finally needed, it's probably going to heat up at the mirror end and crack soon anyway
[15:13:45] <Sync_> well, I have no idea if that is true, but argon lasers tend to get harder to start due to slight outgassing in them when they are not running
[15:17:03] <enleth> interestingly, some case studies at Sam's Laser FAQ suggest that it's possible to build a useful CO2 laser tube with almost no glass at all
[15:21:18] <enleth> although that comest at a cost of having to maintain the low pressure and replace filler gas mix

[16:17:38] morbo_ is now known as moorbo
[16:36:54] <__rob2> there a way of measureing the preload I am putting on a bearing ?
[16:36:58] <__rob2> so when I tighten down the nut
[16:37:19] <__rob2> agaist the washer that presses the inner race
[16:37:41] <__rob2> am just feeling at the moment, but would be nice to actually know what that is
[16:37:46] <zeeshan|2> dial indicator
[16:38:05] <__rob2> right, but that doesn't give me the force applied to the bearings ?
[16:38:13] <zeeshan|2> why not
[16:38:18] <zeeshan|2> you got the pitch of the screw
[16:38:27] <zeeshan|2> how know the lead
[16:38:31] <zeeshan|2> you know the diameter
[16:38:46] <zeeshan|2> (lead is what youre measuring from the dial indicator)
[16:39:17] <zeeshan|2> rob the way ive seen it/done it on cars
[16:39:36] <zeeshan|2> is you put a bit of solder in between the two spots
[16:39:49] <zeeshan|2> w/ an appropriate shim
[16:39:54] <zeeshan|2> and measure the thickness of the solder after
[16:41:10] <zeeshan|2> the other way was using a sensitive inch-lb torque wrench
[16:41:39] <zeeshan|2> and turning the pinion w/ it
[16:41:51] <zeeshan|2> but im not sure how they relate preload w/ friction
[16:41:55] <zeeshan|2> F= uN?
[16:42:23] <zeeshan|2> F = Torque / distance
[16:42:27] <zeeshan|2> maybe a combination of those two equations
[16:42:31] <zeeshan|2> but im not sure what u would be

[16:45:52] <zeeshan|2> been working on the rx7 wire harness
[16:46:17] <__rob2> so the collars all press the inner race
[16:46:45] <Tom_itx> so too sick for subarururu but not for rx7
[16:46:51] <zeeshan|2> :)
[16:46:51] <__rob2> the nut (or actually 2 nuts) tighten down against the collars
[16:46:59] <__rob2> the optional, I have no way to preload
[16:47:08] <__rob2> cant get a nut on there
[16:47:15] <Tom_itx> yeah i've got a head cold too
[16:47:45] <Sync_> usually you just turn a shoulder into the shaft
[16:47:55] <Sync_> and the other side is floating axially so the shaft can expand
[16:48:10] <__rob2> those shaft collars are turned so its a smaller diameter
[16:48:30] <__rob2> for the bit that touches the inner race
[16:49:12] <__rob2> between the optional bearing, and the far right bearing is a timing pulley. Which is quite tight, to counter any deflection of the axle I put a bearing in there
[16:49:15] <__rob2> prob not needed
[16:49:29] <__rob2> as the shaft is 5mm silver steel
[16:50:42] <__rob2> also, the reason for the opposed bearings on the left is assembly, I need that ridgidly held radially, before the right hand side is fitted
[16:51:38] <__rob2> thats gotta be good enuf for 0 radial movement right ?

[16:54:01] <__rob2> so I dont end up with a 5mm shaft with eccentric 4mm end
[16:55:05] <__rob2> really want this as good as possible. Theres a sensor going into an fpga and the encoder into the fpga
[16:55:17] <__rob2> and I need as really precise angular location

[19:16:42] <Erant> pcw_home: The 74HCT540 buffer chip gets really hot the moment I plug in any axis.
[19:17:42] <DRGray> wiring things up wrong?

[19:17:51] <Erant> It's worked for the past 6 months.

[19:18:13] <Erant> Problems only started showing up last week or so.
[19:20:56] <Erant> And it's not like it's complicated wiring.
[19:21:51] <DRGray> some sort of short somewhere

[23:44:00] <ve7it> http://www.ebay.ca/itm/272084833173 a good price on brushless drives 15amp peak, 80v with encoder interface, I just received 4 in as new condition

[23:45:00] <enleth> pcw_home: where would I look for descriptions of 5i25/6i25 prebuilt bitfiles that are not mentioned in the card docs? like "Rmev4" or "mev4" in case of 7i77x2

[23:46:36] <pcw_home> R means reverse
[23:47:14] <pcw_home> mev4 means muxed encoder Version 4
[23:48:53] <enleth> any other way to know that besides bothering you on IRC?
[23:49:38] <pcw_home> There a fair number of basically custom bitfiles, not of much use in general
[23:50:43] <pcw_home> D means DPLL ( though those are mostly used for Ethernet configs )
[23:52:12] <enleth> OK, got it
[23:52:25] <pcw_home> the real reference is the .pin file
[23:54:34] <enleth> does "reverse" mean just, like, reversed pins on the DB25 connector?
[23:54:56] <enleth> no, wait
[23:55:05] <enleth> it's P2 and P3 swapped
[23:55:29] <enleth> my diff-fu is weak today
[23:56:05] <andypugh> enleth: If you can find the vhdl file, that’s fairly legible

[23:56:52] <pcw_home> yeah the pinout files are sort of readable with the right tab settings
[23:56:55] <andypugh> ve7it: I have some drives identical to that one, except for the paint. Mine say “AMC"
[23:58:02] <andypugh> Ah, no, mine are PWM/DIR
[23:58:28] <andypugh> But i am pretty sure those are AMC with different screen-print
[23:58:58] <enleth> andypugh: if I can find it, yeah. Haven't been digging into the sources yet
[23:59:28] <pcw_home> one picture shows the AMC PN
[23:59:29] <andypugh> enleth:
http://git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=hostmot2-firmware.git;a=tree Look at the PIN_….._.vhd files.
