[00:41:10] <andypugh> I have a hankering after a big through-hole.
[00:42:36] <AR__> get taig spindle and lathe chuck
[00:42:47] <AR__> mount it on a piece of iron
[00:42:50] <AR__> ???????
[00:42:53] <AR__> you have a lathe
[00:43:18] <AR__> add a little slide for your tool
[00:43:21] <andypugh> I want something like 3" through the spindle.

[00:43:27] <AR__> oh
[00:44:01] <AR__> build headstock yourself?
[00:44:07] <AR__> lol
[00:44:16] <andypugh> I have a 2.2kW washing machine motor that looks ideal for direct-drive
[00:44:47] <andypugh> And yes, I am thinking about making patterns and having a casting made for the headstock
[00:45:56] <AR__> you mean belt drive
[00:46:05] <andypugh> No, direst.
[00:46:14] <andypugh> Direct even
[00:47:02] <AR__> who the hell direct drives a lathe?
[00:47:14] <andypugh> Nobody.
[00:47:37] <andypugh> But perhaps they are all wrong and I am right?
[00:47:43] <andypugh> This is the motor:

[00:49:18] <AR__> lol
[00:49:19] <andypugh> I don't know, bit if it can throw a drum of wet washing around, it can't be pitiful.
[00:49:38] <AR__> well, true i guess
[00:50:22] <PCW> I guess the spindle bearing is all you need
[00:50:48] <andypugh> I am not going to build a lathe and hope. I am not _that_ daft. I will jury-rig it to my current lathe first and see how it goes.
[00:51:26] <PCW> if its not enough torque, stack 'em
[00:51:26] <AR__> you can find decent headstocks on ebay for a good price
[00:51:28] <AR__> http://www.ebay.com/itm/Enco-Headstock-Assembly-for-7-x-10-Variable-Speed-Mini-Bench-Lathe-110-0803-/190781632573?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c6b78b03d
[00:51:37] <andypugh> I imagine that it will index well though, and be great for the sillly hexagon turning game.
[00:52:17] <andypugh> a) Not Decent. b) Very expensive :-)
[00:52:31] <PCW> may only be 300 RPM or so
[00:53:22] <andypugh> My washing machine spins to 1400, and I think the direct ones are faster, that's part of the point.
[00:54:37] <andypugh> The DSG Headstock i got (from DSG) for a test rig, now that was a decent headstock. :-)
[00:55:56] <andypugh> I wanted a very wide speed range, so got the head from one of these:
http://www.lathes.co.uk/dsg/index.html
[00:56:17] <andypugh> Not the way I would do it now. I would be using an AC servo.
[00:56:51] <andypugh> At the time it was a big motor, star-delta contactor and gears.
[00:59:03] <andypugh> At max speed (3000rpm) it was terrifying. There was a 100kg flywheel, and this thing would spool up like a jet engine, getting louder and louder, and just when you thought it was there, it would switch to delta and get even faster. Then I had to click a mouse to engage the pneumatic clutch to drive the cam, so smash the platten and sample into the load cell. 0 to 50mph in 3/8".
[00:59:42] <AR__> lol
[01:00:04] <andypugh> I recall not having the nerve to click the mouse.
[01:01:08] <PCW> Does the washing machine motor have any winding options?
[01:01:46] <andypugh> Looks like straight 3-phase
[01:02:06] <andypugh> 3 pins for the windings, 5 pins for the Halls.
[01:02:39] <andypugh> I will probably hook it up to a 7i39 first
[01:03:18] <andypugh> (as I have a handy generic 7i39 port on the side of my controller, as can be seen in my latest dull youtube video.)
[01:03:30] <PCW> maybe you need another 8I20 (if it works)
[01:04:47] <andypugh> Yes, I am pretty sure I will. Brace yourself for an order :-)
[01:04:53] <PCW> Do you have the peak current specs?
[01:05:22] <andypugh> I can't imagine LG run the motor at less than mains voltage, and I know it is 2,2kW
[01:06:11] <PCW> looks like ceramic magnets, and you would not want to degauss them
[01:08:13] <PCW> although maybe the iron would saturate first
[01:09:47] <andypugh> The whole thing was £27, so it's just a plaything
[01:11:39] <PCW> thats a deal if it works (even if you have to stack 2 or 3)
[01:12:27] <PCW> bbl
[01:12:35] <andypugh> They would be tricky to stack, but not imposible.
[01:13:08] <andypugh> Wow. DSG lathes, even the smallest, 13" model, have a 1.5" dia leadscrew.

[01:21:47] <archivist> andypugh, I have plenty files, cannot afford those
[01:24:00] <andypugh> I am not sure how big my favourite file is, I keep meaning to measure it as I want more the same size.
[01:26:40] <andypugh> Hmm, probably 16" but I have a feeling it might be 18"
[01:29:19] <archivist> I went out on an ebay collection of a strange item about 5 yrars ago and came back with extras on of which was a box of about 20 files
[01:30:27] <archivist> also get plenty of needle files and rifflers for the small work, also obtained while working as a clockmaker

[01:35:45] <andypugh> For someone with a set of CNC tools I do seem to spend a lot of time filing.
[01:37:06] <andypugh> It's often much easier to just make something than to design it, especialy when you don't know what yu want until you see it in the metal.
[01:38:09] <archivist> we used files a lot in clock work, nothing is as accurate as it first seems

[01:41:14] <AR__> lmao
[01:44:52] <andypugh> I spent a fair bit of Christmas adjusting the chime parts of my dad's clock
[01:45:51] <archivist> the ultimate file a clockmaker uses is a pivot file, you can get a burnished polish on a surface
[01:46:11] <andypugh> The basic problem had been that the gap had fallen out between 2 and 3. I had a hard time persuading my dad that 1 and 2 are the same hole, with no gap.
[01:46:54] <archivist> you can use a bit of hss if you grain it with fine wet & dry the right way
[01:47:30] <archivist> yes the wide slot :)
[01:47:43] <andypugh> They basically have no teeth at all?
[01:49:01] <archivist> no teeth just the right grained finish, a touch of oil and press against the surface of the pivot as it is spinning
[01:49:32] <andypugh> Hmm, do I need a sapphire burnisher? I suspect not yet :-)
[01:50:30] <cradek> archivist: a watchmaker with a file can be quite a curse. sometimes he doesn't know that metal doesn't SWELL with age
[01:50:50] <archivist> a bought pivot file does have some teeth one end to go from rough turned to better finish before you use the shiny(user adds his own grain) to burnish end
[01:51:11] <cradek> archivist: usually it's ok unless you give him a repeater or chronograph or something else he's not used to :-)

http://www.collection.archivist.info/searchv13.php?searchstr=pivot
[01:55:06] <archivist> the lower one I straightened
[01:56:43] <cradek> wow, those are bad
[01:57:05] <archivist> it is amazing how bad some get
[01:57:16] <cradek> it's amazing it runs long enough for them to get that bad
[01:57:27] <cradek> I guess if you keep adding weight it'll run until one breaks
[01:58:07] <archivist> then you get a smashed clock with some teeth missing and a spring barrel to repair
[01:59:30] <archivist> inserting a tooth or few is where a set of tiny files are required
[02:00:36] <andypugh> Though it would be better to add a dovetail then re-cut to the original cycloidal/involute/octoid form :-)

[12:36:01] <Tecan> would putting a thermal fuse under a laser work well ?
[12:36:16] <Tecan> http://i.imgur.com/Mf4zP5E.jpg
[12:37:03] <Tecan> maybe some steel ontop of it

[12:38:02] <Tecan> should be a good if it shoots through the workpeice shut off machine
[12:38:26] <archivist> yes/no/maybe/does it need it/dunno
[12:38:47] <Tecan> put some on the motors and ps too
[12:39:00] <archivist> those thermal things are not fast
[12:39:14] <Valen> lasers cut metal
[12:39:17] <Valen> thats made of metal
[12:39:22] <Valen> this seems like a bad plan
[12:39:25] <Tecan> Valen not small ones
[12:39:42] <Valen> also the whole point of lasers as a rule is to pass through the material being cut
[12:39:43] <Tecan> my 40 has a hard time cutting acrylic
[12:42:34] <archivist> steel is also a poor heat conductor, so you will be burning through one part while the thermal cut out is 6" away as cool as a cucumber laughing
[12:44:55] <Valen> what are you really trying to prevent?
[12:49:12] <Valen> if its burning through the tray underneath, most people just put water in it

[13:08:04] <Loetmichel> Tecan: put a flat trough with blackened water under your workpiece, much safer
[13:08:44] <Tecan> flat through ?
[13:09:29] <Loetmichel> tub, tray, whatever you call it,. solething that can handle 5cm high of water witout dripping and is large enough for the working area
[13:10:16] <Tecan> ya but i want the machine to shut off not evaporate all the water also hv and water dont mix well on a desktop
[13:11:44] <Tecan> i see what your saying though if im going to laze right through something
[13:12:29] <Tecan> safer on the eyes and wont make the machine weigh a ton
[13:13:23] <archivist> the black trough of water becomes a safe heatsink
[13:13:49] <Tecan> activated charcoal
[13:25:44] <Loetmichel> will ignite
[13:26:55] <Loetmichel> Tecan: thats the way to go, even 20kW industrial lasercutter work this way.
[13:27:46] <Loetmichel> there is the water 50cm deep and pitch black and instant boiling about 30cm deep at full power but it works
[13:27:49] <Loetmichel> :-)
[13:29:18] <Tecan> ok so the bottom is black or whats in the water ?
[13:31:25] <Tecan> just so i dont make a mess here :)
[13:34:57] <Tecan> neat they use ruby lasers for tatoo removal
[13:35:10] <Tecan> The Ruby laser is most effective on tattoos with green, blue and black pigments. It is less effective on red, yellow and orange pigments

[15:54:02] <archivist> andypugh, I mean they were manufactured that way, nothing to do with tradition
[15:54:23] <archivist> before wheel cutting engines
[15:55:19] <andypugh> Well, then, the right way is to accurately measure all the teeth, work out what the average profile was, then make a special cutter to exactly reproduce what the original maker thought a gear tooth should look like :-)
[15:56:12] <archivist> spherical objects, use a file like the ye olde world
[15:57:55] <archivist> dunno if you have seen the characteristics of one done that way, look at the root of the teeth, will have an approx repeating pattern every 5/6 teeth from the filing jig

[21:17:28] <pcw_home> Does sounds interesting for a low speed high torque orientable spindle

[21:20:11] <andypugh> Not even such low speed, 1400rpm is the washing machine speed. It might run faster with a different controller.
[21:20:44] <tjb1> already back ReadError
[21:20:50] <tjb1> Had to get massive binder clips
[21:22:08] <Gabe_W> tjbl your still here huh?
[21:22:45] <tjb1> Im always here
[21:22:58] <Gabe_W> but your never there
[21:23:07] <pcw_home> Well I mean low speed compared to normal 2 or 4 pole BLDC motors
[21:23:20] <tjb1> Never where

[21:26:11] <pcw_home> turn over a stone, I am there...
[21:26:24] <tjtr33> andypugh, maybe of use
http://www.thebackshed.com/Windmill/Contents.asp they work a lot with those washing machine motors ( tho they use 'em as gnr8rs )
[21:28:17] <tjtr33> i thought the low speed cogging info might be of interest
[21:29:40] <andypugh> Cogging would be a definite drawback if using it in trapezoidal mode, I think it would show in the surface finish.
[21:30:04] <andypugh> I would be wanting to use an encoder and sinusoidal commutation.

[23:38:49] <JT-Shop> how hard would it be to make and ignitor like this?

[23:52:07] <Tom_itx> what about a grill igniter>
[23:52:11] <Tom_itx> ?
[23:52:24] <JT-Shop> that's what I'm using now but it is not reliable
[23:52:42] <Tom_itx> what about a furnace spark igniter
[23:52:48] <Tom_itx> or stovetop
[23:52:57] <Tom_itx> they 'tick' until they light
[23:53:08] <JT-Shop> those are 120v

[23:54:15] <skunkworks> tazer?
[23:54:30] <Tom_itx> you want it for your cannons?
[23:54:37] <JT-Shop> tator gun
[23:55:03] <Tom_itx> i doubt you could make one any cheaper than that
[23:55:31] <skunkworks> JT-Shop: I found that adding mulible spark gaps down the center of the chamber really helps speed up the burn.....
[23:55:32] <JT-Shop> I'd bet your right
[23:55:35] -!- tlab has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[23:56:02] <skunkworks> multiple
[23:56:16] <Tom_itx> find an old model T coil
[23:56:23] <JT-Shop> I read somewhere that having the igntor in the middle is the best for propagation of the flame
[23:56:35] <JT-Shop> to get the highest pressure
[23:56:49] <Tom_itx> or some old magneto setup
[23:57:09] <JT-Shop> I did a mod to mine today and cut a small bevel on the ID and it made the tators seal better with a tad of compression
[23:57:11] <Tom_itx> that probably wouldn't work so good for this though
[23:57:21] <skunkworks> I ran a fiberglass rod down the center of the combustion chamber with 3 or 4 spark gaps in series.
[23:57:38] <skunkworks> it was a substantial improvement...
[23:57:51] <JT-Shop> you using a push button grill ignitor?
[23:58:12] <skunkworks> suspended with a screw on each end which also ran the power in..
[23:58:21] <skunkworks> I did - yes - this was quite a few years ago)
[23:59:47] <skunkworks> I don't remember having much issue with it... But as I say - long time ago. I think I had to pull the spark gap assembly every so often to clean.. (I was using aquanet hair spray)
