[02:53:22] <sirhoax> anyone know of a good spindle for small engraving bits?
[02:53:45] <sirhoax> using a portal cable now
[02:54:01] <jdhNC> how much do you want to spend?
[02:54:29] <sirhoax> money is the issue. was looking at wolfgangengineering's spindles.
[02:54:41] <sirhoax> guess there isn't a cheap alternative.
[02:55:08] <sirhoax> the porter cable is good for 0.06" not sure if its good any smaller.
[02:57:13] <sirhoax> for milling plexiglass is there a secret? heh.
[02:57:26] <sirhoax> because polycarbonate isn't as bad to mill.

[02:57:58] <Tom_itx> don't get it hot
[02:58:54] <sirhoax> the polycarbonate was machining alright.
[02:59:11] <sirhoax> not the plex. or it could be acrylic.
[02:59:14] <sirhoax> unless its the same.
[02:59:21] <Tom_itx> same
[02:59:31] <Tom_itx> there are a couple different kinds
[02:59:44] <sirhoax> yea polycarbonate is a better alternative. compared to plexiglass.
[02:59:48] <Tom_itx> one is more expensive than the other
[03:00:19] <Tom_itx> one is cast
[03:00:27] <Tom_itx> i forget about the other
[03:00:49] <jdhNC> there are cheapish chinese spindle+vfd combos on ebay and keling
[03:01:13] <Tom_itx> put good bearings in them and i hear they're ok
[03:01:27] <sirhoax> what about an air spindle?
[03:01:27] <Tom_itx> no personal experience there
[03:01:40] <cstop> spindles? No clue about price, but we have three of the small machines in commercial service for over ten years without a hitch

[03:08:14] <hmm> Quick question: What's the difference between a profiling and a pocketing operation?
[03:08:39] <hmm> It's possible to profile the inside of a pocket but not possible to pocket the perimeter of a profile, right?
[03:08:39] <Tom_itx> pocket removes it all
[03:08:47] <Tom_itx> profile cuts the perimeter

[03:09:29] <jdhNC> unless you just want a pocket the same width as your cutter

[03:11:58] <jdhNC> cheap spindle:
http://www.cnconabudget.com/
[03:13:56] <sirhoax> need a spindle to etch circuit boards
[03:14:10] <sirhoax> think its .005" if my memory serves me correct.
[03:15:06] <sirhoax> guess that spindle may do it.
[03:17:06] <sirhoax> just like the idea of air, but again would have to run a compressor.
[03:17:17] <sirhoax> but it doesn't consume much air from what i've heard.
[03:17:23] <jdhNC> compressors suck
[03:18:44] <sirhoax> yea just adds to the mess. heh. not much space here as it is.
[03:19:07] <jdhNC> the noise is awfuj
[03:19:44] <Tom_itx> stick it in a room by itself
[03:19:57] <Tom_itx> our screw compressor was
[03:20:13] <Tom_itx> but it was like standing next to a jet
[03:20:23] <Tom_itx> well not quite that bad..
[03:21:47] <Tom_itx> i should show you how to 'etch' circuit boards :)
[03:22:20] <Tom_itx> i tried milling and didn't like it

[03:59:18] <sirhoax> think i may have a system. but, we'll see its constantly being revamped.
[03:59:57] <sirhoax> wanted to do the 4th axis.
[04:00:03] <sirhoax> not even sure i'll find the time.

[04:17:46] <frysteev> hey, if he laser is dead, ill just use it as a plasma setup.
[04:18:39] <Jymmm> that's poor thinking. Work on reviewing the laser
[04:18:51] <Jymmm> reviving
[04:19:17] <Jymmm> Is it a sealed tube?
[04:20:09] <frysteev> that is the plan, but i always have a worse case scenario is what im saying

[19:41:45] <sirhoax> you could have the display and shunt separate, remote monitor.
[19:41:50] <sirhoax> not sure how far you can extend it.
[19:42:24] <Jymmm> It's the shunt that makes the differnce there.
[19:42:50] <Jymmm> And realy wouldn't want to have a seperate PS for a meter/guage

http://pinterest.com/pin/250160954271120923/
[19:45:16] <clytle374> The higher end one might have a better shunt. The cheap one can be powered either way
[19:47:06] <sirhoax> can make your own shunt.
[19:47:15] <sirhoax> just need to get 1mV per A
[19:47:22] <sirhoax> and a small meter.
[19:47:33] <Jymmm> I like the hobby one, can be plugged in-line as needed or removed. I use power pole connectors for everything
[19:47:53] <clytle374> I used a piece of wire the right length before I got the meter
[19:48:23] <Jymmm> I have shitloads of Ni-Chrome around here too.
[19:48:38] <sirhoax> yea you just get 12gauge wire. and a constant amperage source at 1amp. and adjust the length until you get the right mV drop on the wire.
[19:48:53] <sirhoax> free shunt ;-)
[19:49:41] <clytle374> I got the meter since flaming RC helies aren't much fun
[19:49:58] <Jymmm> I should have bought those 0.1Ohm 100W 1% resistors when I saw them

[20:00:52] <tom3p> on the mailing list theres a longish thread about fp & modern cpu's
[20:00:54] <tom3p> isnt the idea really that realtime threads dont use fp? that fp is done in user space comps?
[20:02:01] <cradek> no
[20:02:28] <cradek> fp is optional in realtime threads
[20:02:52] <cradek> you can run the thread faster if you don't need fp
[20:04:28] <tom3p> ah! great. i had that all wrong & wrote a bazillion integer only comp version of existing ones ( tho now its true their thread could be faster )
[20:04:31] <tom3p> thx
[20:05:43] <mazafaka> i like to drill with 315 rpm and 0.060 mm as a feed rate per the revolution. this way, the chip breaks easily and the drill bit also works like an end mill bit.
[20:06:33] <mazafaka> I have asked the employer for a second drilling machine because I am idling while the first machine drills the metal.

[20:11:00] <mazafaka> 8 or 12 holes in 240 items or so, it makes a huge work. Each time you fix a new pocket of details (e.g. about 4 or 5 in the column) you have to clean the table out of the chips and sharp tiny chip produced by the center of the drill bit.
[20:12:21] <mazafaka> there's ice in the coolant sometimes. in -30 or so Celsius, it's very cold in the shop.
[20:15:11] <tom3p> get a 2nd machine that can drill upside down ( when we had production edm we mounted work on ram and tools on table... dirt falls down :)

cstop [cstop!~cal@c-50-133-194-221.hsd1.nh.comcast.net] has joined #linuxcnc
[21:20:03] <cstop> Question about stepper indexing. Is there a method that addresses errors between the division of a full circle and the logical step increments determined by motor steps per rev and gear ratio?
[21:20:39] <cstop> The example would be in gear cutting. Will all the errors present themselves on the last tooth? Hypothetical
[21:20:41] <cradek> to some extent, microstepping smooths that
[21:20:54] <cradek> oh wait, maybe you're asking about something else
[21:21:04] <archivist> cstop, the errors will be distributed
[21:21:21] <cradek> yes you always place the motor at the closest possible position to the desired one
[21:21:25] <cstop> is that a function of G-code?
[21:21:45] <cradek> no, it's something you don't need to worry about when writing gcode
[21:22:01] <cradek> just program your desired positions, whether in inches/mm/degrees
[21:22:01] <archivist> the machine controller, just be as accurate as you can
[21:22:44] <archivist> cstop, make sure your resolution is high enough that your errors are small enough
[21:22:52] <cstop> as in Degrees minutes seconds or as accurate as 200 divisions of 360 degrees?
[21:23:14] <cradek> you would never have a rotary axis turned directly by a stepper motor
[21:23:23] <cstop> I can not change the resolution or can I?
[21:23:24] <cradek> there is a worm gear, just like you have threads on a leadscrew
[21:23:27] <archivist> cstop, for gear cutting I have worm division after the stepper
[21:23:42] <cstop> yes, 50:1
[21:23:51] <cstop> sorry, 40:1
[21:23:58] <archivist> better rotaries are 90-1
[21:24:05] <cstop> it's a regular dividing head
[21:24:19] <archivist> some cheap ones are 90:1
[21:24:25] <archivist> Vertex
[21:24:50] <cradek> so you'd get 8000 steps per revolution, or resolution of 1/22.x degree. but your drives will probably at least half-step, giving twice that
[21:24:57] <cstop> This is an oldie but goodie ;-)
[21:25:28] <cradek> but the important part is that the errors don't accumulate
[21:25:55] <cstop> cradek what part distrubutes the errors?
[21:25:58] <archivist> cstop, what I have measured with the lower division ratio rotaries are internal gearing error (cocked up some gears that way)
[21:26:33] <JT-Shop> is there a way to prevent jogging until an axis is homed?
[21:26:40] <archivist> you get a sawtooth error distribution
[21:28:12] <archivist> cstop, to test once you get going make a high count gear and then use a vernier over a set number of teeth and go all the way round
[21:28:53] <cstop> can you suggest the g-code that would divide a circle into 200 equal parts?
[21:29:27] <cstop> graduating dials ;-)
[21:29:52] <archivist> use an o code subroutine
[21:29:55] <JT-Shop> G0 A1.8
[21:30:58] <cstop> repetitions of 1.8 degree steps results in all the error shown on the final division...that does not work :-(

[21:32:00] <cstop> I've considered A91.8 and 181.8, but have not proven that useful. hence the question
[21:32:23] <mrsun_> how to measure the thickness of doublesided tape. ..
[21:32:28] <mrsun_> will not do it with calipers ;P
[21:32:36] <mrsun_> that thing is superstrong =)
[21:32:40] <JT-Shop> 360/200=1.8
[21:32:44] <cstop> micrometer on a piece of scrap
[21:33:07] <mrsun_> cstop, cant measure it without the glue being exposed? :P
[21:33:12] <mrsun_> ofc i could dust it with parting powder
[21:34:13] <cstop> JT-shop that is true 360/200 is 1.8 but the stepper gearing does not always land on an even step in many situations. This is not direct drive.
[21:34:18] <archivist> cstop, that basic for a gear (you need to modify)

[21:40:43] <JT-Shop> you asked for the G code that would divide a circle into 200 parts... is that not the problem?
[21:43:11] <Jymmm> NOT FOR THE GINSU 2000!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4q7GCuWFsSs
[21:44:07] <archivist> cstop, it is a digital system (all digital systems have error due to the resolution) it is probable that your rotary will be a larger error term than the digital division
[21:44:26] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: BUT WAIT! There's more!!!
[21:45:33] <cradek> this is wrong: repetitions of 1.8 degree steps results in all the error shown on the final division...that does not work
[21:46:10] <Jymmm> cradek: overlap?
[21:46:17] <cradek> either you have a misunderstanding of what's going on and have not tried it, or you need to explain your observations when you tried it
[21:46:26] <archivist> with half step you will be to 1 part in 8000 approx all the way round, it does not accumulate the errors
[21:47:36] <Jymmm> Epiphany... In more than 20 years the phrase "But wait, there's more..." is still used even though cultures have changed.
[21:49:26] <cstop> thanks I'll read a bit, Ahh that subroutine takes care of my question I believe.
[21:49:57] <cstop> Ahh. The subroutine does the work! great
[21:50:38] <archivist> yup just edit the numbers where needed, you will see what they effect
[21:52:18] <archivist> you will likely also need to adjust the F values to suit your machine and materials
[21:52:51] <cstop> feeds are like that
[21:54:36] <cstop> so if the angle and tooth count coincide to equal a full circle, the G0 A0 after the sub "should result in no movement at all.
[21:54:41] <cstop> True?
[21:55:17] <cstop> affirmation of error compensation
[21:55:42] <archivist> no it will rotate back to 0 from 360

[21:56:50] * archivist would like a move to nearest 0 on a rotating axis after n turns
[21:57:19] <cstop> Oh, Certainly there is something special about continuation of rotation....
[21:57:50] <archivist> see wrapped rotary which may be ok for some cases
[21:58:13] <cstop> I do not require such moves at present
[21:58:41] <archivist> it bites you if making worms
[21:59:36] <cstop> for worm gears, would not slaving two axis be a suitable approach?
[22:00:06] <cradek> you can't do that in gcode, but you can easily move multiple axes together
[22:00:14] <cstop> So much of one results in so much of the other
[22:00:42] <archivist> G1 F.05 x-.063 Y[0-#20] Z[0-#5] A[0-#<rotation_angle>] (rotate blank 7 turns)
[22:01:06] <archivist> but the unwind is too damned slow
[22:01:58] <syyl_> hmmm

[22:02:03] <syyl_> toolchanger ;)
[22:02:08] <syyl_> looks a bit...
[22:02:11] <syyl_> strange ;)
[22:02:22] <syyl_> dont know if thats the right concept...
[22:02:27] <archivist> microscope
[22:03:04] <archivist> other tooling can hit the work
[22:03:35] <syyl_> jep
[22:03:42] <syyl_> hmm
[22:04:10] <archivist> and there is little space to insert a loose tool into the collet
[22:04:39] <archivist> so they stick out even more
[22:04:45] <mrsun_> haha archivist your machine is just thrown together of different kind of junk ? :)
[22:04:57] <syyl_> hmm
[22:05:01] <syyl_> many points against it
[22:05:02] <archivist> mrsun_, you just worked it out :)
[22:05:07] <syyl_> maybe..
[22:05:14] <syyl_> back to the sketching board ;)
[22:05:26] <archivist> mrsun_, genuine fugly
[22:05:43] <mrsun_> looks like something i wouldnt even throw at the cats
[22:05:43] <mrsun_> :P
[22:05:58] <archivist> syyl_, look at tormach tooling
[22:06:14] <syyl_> ah right, they have a toolchanger now?
[22:06:45] <archivist> no but the register is nice
[22:07:05] <archivist> you just need a rack to hold the tools
[22:08:08] <archivist> syyl_, are you intending to use standard tooling with 6mm shanks
[22:08:12] <syyl_> yes
[22:08:20] <syyl_> correct
[22:08:33] <archivist> hmm setting depth is a problem
[22:08:47] <syyl_> they will have a collar ring
[22:08:49] <mrsun_> archivist, but i guess, as long as it does the job =)
[22:09:01] <archivist> ah ok
[22:09:21] <syyl_> and after each change, it will go for a toollenghtprobe
[22:09:30] <syyl_> if the collar by itself is not accurate enough
[22:09:43] <syyl_> but, on our datron machines, that works fine
[22:09:52] <archivist> mrsun_, it was cutting gears before the z and x had steppers fitted
[22:09:54] <syyl_> under 1/100mm tolerance when changing tools...
[22:11:02] <archivist> at the moment I cannot imagine a method to set height with gear cutters
[22:11:27] <syyl_> optical?
[22:11:33] <syyl_> with a microscope?
[22:12:46] <archivist> needs measuring all the way round to take errors into account, shadow , video capture and software I think
[22:13:05] <mrsun_> archivist, setting the center point of the blank or what? :)
[22:13:50] <archivist> needs flank width at cutting depth depending on cut width one needs
[22:14:12] <archivist> and centre line and diameter
[22:15:10] <archivist> current method is microscope and make one see if its ok adjust, rinse repeat
[22:17:07] <archivist> reason is cycloidal clock teeth come to a point
[22:20:43] <tom3p> syyl that idea is common on 'milldrills' like fanuc/brother. here a diy interpretation

[22:49:07] <JT-Shop> and you can bet it is not 6061 but rather architectural aluminum... gummy soft junk
[22:49:47] <alex4nder-> yes
[22:49:52] <alex4nder-> so damn gummy
[22:51:33] <sirhoax> maybe worth talking with a scrap yard.
[22:52:04] <sirhoax> but i've seen them with signs saying, we don't sell.
[22:52:17] <sirhoax> thought it was odd. ;-q
[22:52:37] <sirhoax> but i guess they all aren't like that.
[22:52:40] <alex4nder-> do you live in alaska?
[22:53:03] <sirhoax> please translate.
[22:53:34] <JT-Shop> lol
[22:54:03] <alex4nder-> sirhoax: just buy some aluminum stock from a local metal supplier, or online.

[22:56:21] <sirhoax> so can only imagine aluminum prices.
[22:56:44] <alex4nder-> you could start smelting your own, using recycled aluminum cans.
[22:56:58] <sirhoax> heh. microwave forged.
[22:57:15] <sirhoax> need to crush it first.
[22:57:31] <sirhoax> into maybe a cube?
[22:57:39] <sirhoax> hydraulic. if anything.
[22:58:33] <sirhoax> my space is limited. just need scrap. for small test runs.
