[00:01:24] <Nick001-Shop> anything else to delete that you can see right off?
[00:02:19] <cradek> that'll affect fpr but not threading, which uses the spindle POSITION
[00:03:43] <andypugh> Goodnight chaps. Good luck with the threading Nick001

[00:05:49] <andypugh> Ah, just a quicky. There are some motion pins here:
http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/motion.9.html listed as "debug only, likely to be removed" . At least some of them almost certainly want to be permanentised, for example joint-vel-cmd for FF1 calculations in PID.

[00:19:13] <cradek> in sim, I noticed it cuts an inside thread
[00:24:55] <Nick001-Shop> it also finishes in the -z position rather than the z0.200 position

[14:08:01] <aksr> hi, general lathe question: my power feed has gun-like fail-safe protection, i'm not sure how to remove it
[14:08:47] <aksr> (i'm not sure what's its proper name)
[14:08:48] <archivist> why would you remove it
[14:09:09] <aksr> archivist: power feed is stucked
[14:09:25] <archivist> hint is is exceedingly useful when you set the stops correctly
[14:09:59] <archivist> fix the faults rather than remove a useful facility
[14:11:03] <aksr> archivist: some pieces of metal caused all of this
[14:11:09] <aksr> ..i need to clean it

[14:12:08] <archivist> not without seeing
[14:12:09] * aksr tries to find a picture, but isn't sure of its proper name
[14:12:58] <archivist> I had to get other people to make some parts for me before I could screw cut with my lathe
[14:13:27] <aksr> archivist: i'm new to all of this
[14:13:31] <aksr> i just bought it
[14:13:38] <aksr> it's a fairly old one
[14:13:41] <jdh> a switch that turns off the motor? or a lever that disengages the drive nut?
[14:13:54] <archivist> mine is from the 1940's, well worn
[14:14:17] <aksr> archivist: i guess '60s (not sure, though..
[14:14:18] <archivist> self act can be a third mechanism
[14:14:40] <aksr> jdh: it's on the left side of power feed
[14:14:53] <aksr> it' isn't a lever nor a switch
[14:15:03] -!- PetefromTn has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[14:15:04] <archivist> we dont yet know how many shafts are going through the apron
[14:16:01] <archivist> or is this is just a gearbox or clutch problem
[14:16:07] <archivist> is/if
[14:17:30] <aksr> jdh: it's a mechanism, for example: it cocks like a gun, if it's too hard to spin; also, it looks like revolver cylinder
[14:18:02] <aksr> (i'm not that good with a technical english to describe it more precisely)
[14:18:05] <aksr> :)
[14:18:22] <archivist> there are sprung loaded overload clutches
[14:18:24] <aksr> ..and that mechanism is on the far left end
[14:18:27] <JT-Shop> a photo might help in translation
[14:18:32] <aksr> archivist: yeah, something like that
[14:18:50] -!- nwmcsween has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[14:18:55] <archivist> you dont disable for the safety of the lathe
[14:19:46] <aksr> archivist: you're right it has springs.. and it's settable
[14:19:57] <aksr> ..how much overload, etc...
[14:20:10] <aksr> JT-Shop: not there atm
[14:20:12] <aksr> :(
[14:20:16] <aksr> but you're right
[14:21:15] <archivist> you dont need the power feed while learning on a lathe
[14:22:19] <aksr> archivist: i need to fix it, i removed whole carriage
[14:22:37] <aksr> anyway, the fix is just to clean it
[14:26:22] -!- pingufan has quit [Quit: Konversation terminated!]
[14:27:44] <aksr> this could be better explanation, read the post of a Doozer guy:
http://bbs.homeshopmachinist.net/archive/index.php/t-56401.html
[14:28:14] <aksr> "..I thought of using a small Bimba air cylinder as a quick
[14:28:14] <aksr> release for the feed. Dennis is right about a rapid
[14:28:14] <aksr> withdrawal of the half nuts or feed clutch, else wear
[14:28:14] <aksr> will ensue. That is why I like the Nardini arrangement.
[14:28:25] <aksr> (sorry for the paste)
[14:29:10] <archivist> one of my lathe has automatic feed stops
[14:29:24] <aksr> ..on the second thought, this isn't good enough explanation
[14:29:39] <aksr> unfortunately, my digital camere isn't here atm
[14:29:40] <archivist> else you the human is supposed to do it
[14:29:42] <aksr> :(
[14:30:11] <aksr> archivist: it doesn't stops, it just 'clicks' if it's stucked
[14:30:24] <aksr> ..not to destroy internal parts...
[14:30:38] <archivist> my power feed is driven from a slot on the leadscrew not the thread on it

[14:32:01] <archivist> or something broken
[14:32:29] <archivist> so adjust the overload to a sensible amount

[14:33:23] <aksr> pieces of metal are stucked in the spiral cog
[14:33:30] <aksr> (i think)
[14:34:41] <archivist> on some machines you have to remove quite a lot to get stuff off and apart
[14:35:51] <aksr> archivist: i removed quite a lot, only power feed is left
[14:36:36] <archivist> remove end bearings, slide out
[14:37:09] <archivist> or remove overload as that splits the bar so it can be removed
[14:37:14] <aksr> already done that
[14:38:07] <aksr> just this fail safe revolver-cylinder-like mechanism is holdback to slide it

[14:38:39] <aksr> it has one (or two pins) which i'm not sure how to remove
[14:39:28] <archivist> look for the smaller diameter end, use a pin punch on the smaller end
[14:40:01] <archivist> short sharp tap
[14:40:10] <aksr> archivist: already done that, but it's too hard
[14:40:16] <aksr> too too hard
[14:40:27] <aksr> so, i'm not sure is it one (or two)
[14:40:48] <archivist> worst case drill out and ream for new pins

[14:45:57] <aksr> archivist: thank you, but i wish for more _elegant_ solution, drilling is my last resort
[14:46:16] <archivist> something that has been stuck in for 40 years, it will be a fight to remove
[14:46:35] <aksr> archivist: it's old, but very good looking
[14:46:47] <aksr> meaning, it shines :P
[14:47:01] <archivist> I have pin punches hammers drills and taper reamers to fix the mess after
[14:47:30] <aksr> archivist: my biggest problem is: i don't is it one or two pins
[14:48:12] <aksr> i was thinking: it should be one, because it shouldn't be non-removable
[14:48:22] <archivist> two pins have 4 visible holes
[14:48:43] <archivist> two holes = one pin
[14:48:48] <aksr> archivist: could it be that it was supposed to be non-removable?
[14:49:12] <aksr> hence two holes and two pines
[14:49:12] <archivist> nah, just tight after all this time
[14:49:23] <aksr> i must be pretty tight then
[14:49:29] <aksr> how sure are you?
[14:49:37] <aksr> 100%?
[14:49:40] <aksr> :)
[14:49:51] <JT-Shop> taper pin?
[14:50:05] <archivist> without pictures! you get what you payed for !
[14:50:11] <JT-Shop> lol
[14:50:31] <aksr> JT-Shop: i think
[14:50:54] <aksr> JT-Shop: since it's one hole smaller
[14:51:11] <aksr> s/it's/one is
[14:51:21] <archivist> shall we mention an overload that has partially sheared the pin making removal impossible without abuse
[14:51:26] <aksr> s/it's/one hole is :P
[14:51:45] <aksr> archivist: that could be the explanation
[14:51:55] <aksr> but hear me out:
[14:54:13] <aksr> yesterday, while power feed was still in the bearers, i tried to punch it out, but it was possible to punch it more inside through bigger hole, but not through the smaller one
[14:55:11] <archivist> so you jammed it in tighter!
[14:56:00] -!- tmcw has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
[14:56:05] <JT-Shop> yikes
[14:56:16] <aksr> ..also, while i was punching it through bigger hole, the (other or) other side of the pin didn't show any signs of punching
[14:56:26] <aksr> that'
[14:56:41] <aksr> that's the main conundrum for me..
[14:56:44] <archivist> probable already sheared
[14:57:05] <aksr> archivist: you mean broken?
[14:57:09] <aksr> in half?
[14:57:10] <archivist> yes
[14:57:23] <aksr> well, i had that theory two

[14:57:31] <aksr> s/two/too
[14:57:40] <aksr> :)
[14:57:40] <archivist> and possible had a bade repair in the past with a short pin in one side
[14:58:02] <aksr> so, you sure it is not not-removable?
[14:58:47] <archivist> if the last person to repair had the shaft 180 degrees out when fitting a new pin the holes may not line up
[14:59:05] <aksr> archivist: i'm thinking that right now
[14:59:13] <aksr> what're u suggesting?
[14:59:28] <aksr> drilling?
[14:59:58] <JT-Shop> carefully
[14:59:59] <archivist> drill just deep enough so you can remove the shaft
[15:00:16] <aksr> archivist: which whole?

[15:01:35] <aksr> but it isn't possible atm
[15:01:42] <aksr> (since my camera isn't here)
[15:02:08] <archivist> taper pin reamers are cheap enough to fix any slight drilling error
[15:02:17] <aksr> i was just hoping for a clean solution
[15:02:59] <archivist> that is clean if you do not touch the sides of the hole
[15:03:22] -!- nwmcsween has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
[15:03:41] <aksr> archivist: yeah, but maybe the holes doesn't line up
[15:04:16] <archivist> that is why you work from the outsides and done drill into the shaft yet
[15:04:22] <archivist> dont
[15:04:58] <aksr> i was hoping i won't have to
[15:04:58] <archivist> then treat the pin in the shaft as a second op after it is removed
[15:05:10] <aksr> second op?
[15:05:24] <archivist> drill or punch
[15:05:40] <aksr> ah
[15:05:41] <aksr> ;0
[15:06:43] <archivist> 1st op drill the ends of the pin/s (only outer depth) so you can get shaft out then 2nd op clear hole in shaft
[15:07:56] <kwallace> I just got here, but if the tapper pin sheared from an overload there would be three pieces and the pin can not be punched out until the three pieces are in alignment. Thinking more, if the pin is sheared the two shafts should come apart without removing the pin.
[15:08:12] <aksr> outer depth? can you elaborate further? archivist
[15:08:49] <archivist> http://www.listoftools.com/images/tapered_pin_installed_in_a_shaft_and_flange.png the cross hatched
[15:09:23] <aksr> kwallace: it isn't sheared, but maybe was sometime in the past
[15:10:28] <kwallace> Then maybe overload it back or all the way through?
[15:10:33] <aksr> archivist: ok, but i don't still understand what you mean by outer depth?
[15:11:15] <aksr> kwallace: carriage has a problem, shaft could turn around but it's very hard
[15:11:25] <archivist> one drill as fas as the shaft and no further
[15:11:29] <aksr> something is stucked in the cog somewhere in the carriage

[15:12:21] <aksr> ;)
[15:12:28] <aksr> i'll try it ;)
[15:13:02] <archivist> so you end up with two thin tubes of taper pin that will easily shear off
[15:13:41] <aksr> archivist: so, i use smaller drill for both sides?
[15:14:14] <aksr> the smaller one is 6mm (metric)
[15:14:19] <archivist> the right size ish, it is a judgement call

[15:23:36] <JT-Shop> yes, if it was just thread pitch it would be a simple calcuation but calculating the nearest metric drill size would be too much work

[16:09:03] <JT-Shop> that's a good plan
[16:09:21] <cradek> throwing it out is so much nicer

[16:29:10] steve_stallings is now known as steves_logging
[16:30:01] <jdh> when cutting 'outside' profiles, I've been using existing internal holes, or adding holes, then bolting through those holes to a flat plate, then clamping the plate down. Is there an easier/better way?
[16:30:09] <cradek> JT-Shop: I do almost all aluminum. for steel I might drop to 3.
[16:30:44] <cradek> jdh: cut almost all the way through and then whack it with a hammer to dismount, then deburr it
[16:31:15] <JT-Shop> sometimes I leave a few tabs to hold the part to the parent, less to clean up
[16:31:32] <JT-Shop> if I have mounting holes I usually use them to hold the part
[16:31:52] <JT-Shop> cradek: that is conservative for sure
[16:32:05] <jdh> my method requires aligning and edge finding at least twice.
[16:32:12] <cradek> JT-Shop: I don't care about speed, I care more about getting holes that aren't oversized
[16:32:27] <cradek> seems like the low speed really helps it not wobble around
[16:33:25] <jdh> cradek: how much do you leave for almost-all-the-way cutting?
[16:34:17] <jdh> all the 6061 plate I've gotten seems to be 15-20 thou oversize
[16:34:25] <cradek> jdh: shoot for .010 inch
[16:34:58] <cradek> depends on the plate thickness. you want to not distort the part too much with the hammer...
[16:35:21] <cradek> thinner than 3/8 I probably wouldn't try this
[16:35:55] <Loetmichel> jdh: i use CA ;-)
[16:36:15] <jdh> Loetmichel: and cut through?
[16:36:18] <cradek> yeah for cutout, you'd want to zero to the table or fixture under the part, not the top surface
[16:36:24] <Loetmichel> yes
[16:36:55] <Loetmichel> my mounting plate is made of resin anyway, so i can cut in that without remorse
[16:37:05] <jdh> I have some 0.010 plastic shim stock. I've been putting that under the part to keep from cutting the mounting plate.

[17:51:08] <NickParker> and the mill definitely has a ground fault, it trips GFCI if we connect the neutral on our 3 phase to neutral
[17:51:49] <NickParker> plus, there's continuity between the black wire on my 120 and the body of the machine that only runs through this tiny white and green wire into the front panel
[17:52:01] <NickParker> if they were intentionally connected it would be done in a much less roundabout way
[17:53:22] <CaptHindsight> if your machine is not grounded it's now possible to have the body at 120V
[17:53:43] <CaptHindsight> that's why grounds are not neutrals
[17:54:45] <NickParker> oh yeah, i had the body at 120v once when i had my 120 plugged in backwards.
[17:54:55] <NickParker> i discovered this by touching it while barefoot haha
[17:56:06] <CaptHindsight> there have been cases where the grounds on the main transformers feeding a building were corroded and floating and the service was not grounded so there was a >10000V potential between a water pipe (or other actual ground) and neutral

[18:12:25] <archivist> getting better at it, this last week I rescued something that was in the garden in the rain
[18:12:43] <CaptHindsight> http://images.craigslist.org/00J0J_b6esZTUVhQa_600x450.jpg are these made to insure of wobble in 2-axis when drilling?
[18:14:13] <archivist> made as cheap as possible, the only specification the work to is "drill holes"
[18:18:16] <kwallace> My Shiz front panel screws always give a strong pop when I loosen them, so I pretty much leave them loose.
[18:19:34] <archivist> NickParker, the pin punch method, does a few things to help the release of the screw, thins the head/washer, the shock going down the thread is unsticking the screw from the casting/nut and lastly is closing up the burs on the slot
[18:20:12] <archivist> if I can tap the head sideways even better
[18:24:25] <kwallace> I have a fancier version of this, which might work.

[21:43:27] <Nick001-Shop> Hardinge problems again. Got G76 working ok after the 3 spindle lines inserted in the hal file and got a handle on the g76 parameters. Now feed per rev and distance traveled is way - way off. I know my scales are off and don't know were or how to fix them, I had them doctored to something close to usable but that changed after I put the three spindle lines in.

[22:43:09] <Nick001-Shop> the spindle encoder is a resolver with a pico converter on it. I have seen the index signal in halsope. Also, it started threading after adding those 3 lines.
[22:45:15] <Nick001-Shop> I just tested z movement and it looks like its more or less ok. In g95-a 0.002 feed per rev looks like almost rapid at 400 rpm. So that scale is off.
[22:48:07] <Nick001-Shop> I commented out axis 1 (y) in the ini and chased and commented out all the hiccups it created - various calls for axis 1. Prog comes up without errors now and that's when I picked up on the fpr prob.
[22:52:14] <Nick001-Shop> Just checked the 0.100 incremental movements and they look good in x and z movements - by hand scale anyway. just looks like the feed per rev scale is out somewhere.
[22:55:45] <Nick001-Shop> JT-Shop index should be working as I got g76 to work
[22:57:36] <andypugh> I can't recall if feed-per-rev uses spindle-revs or spindle-speed-in
[22:58:07] <andypugh> But the first thing to check is spindle-revs when you turn the spindle one rev
[23:03:19] <Nick001-Shop> ok - ill do that now - there's a scale I played with a long time ago to get the machine feeding close to what it should've and putting in the 3 lines probably corrected a prob from before and now that scale has to be corrected again.

[23:26:28] <andypugh> I have no idea what you mean.
[23:27:30] <Nick001-Shop> I opened hal meter -signals - spindle revs in
[23:27:48] <andypugh> And, does it increase by 1 for one rev?
[23:28:08] <andypugh> (exactly one for exactly one rev)
[23:28:52] <Nick001-Shop> I'm seeing something pulsing as the spindle moves - spindle is a servo
[23:29:18] <andypugh> Can you disable the amp and rotate the spindle by hand?
[23:29:46] <andypugh> (It shouldn't "pulse", it should increase steadily)

[23:30:39] <andypugh> Sounds like too much work
[23:30:59] <Nick001-Shop> pulse meaning something flashes and so fast i cant make it out
[23:31:43] <andypugh> What flashes?

[23:34:45] <andypugh> Are you definitely looking at the motion.spindle-revs HAL pin?

[23:35:08] <andypugh> Is index-enable false?

[23:45:51] <Nick001-Shop> halmeter - pins - motion pins rev is a # that keeps moving as the spindle moves - If I put the spindle lock pin in the register stops
[23:47:23] <andypugh> That probably means that the feed depends on motion.spindle-speed-in then
[23:48:00] <andypugh> Though I really would like some confirmation that motion.spindle-revs is incrementing by 1 every rev.
[23:48:50] <andypugh> Actually, the docs are pretty clear:
http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/motion.9.html
[23:49:38] <andypugh> motion.spindle-revs is for spindle-synchronised moves and motion.spindle-speed-in is used for G96 and CSS modes
[23:50:10] <andypugh> So, does motion.spindle-speed-in read correctly? It should be in revolutions per second.
