[00:41:41] <MacGalempsy> heh. morning, night, just depends on your location.
[00:42:03] <archivist_> UK, 1:41 am
[00:42:04] <MacGalempsy> so this bolton tool company only sales mail order, so I cannot use the tramel gauge
[00:42:17] <MacGalempsy> however, they claim to go through the entire setup process in LA before shipping
[00:42:34] <somenewguy> 2042 US
[00:43:11] <archivist_> MacGalempsy, that makes me distrusting
[00:43:25] <MacGalempsy> how so?
[00:43:48] <MacGalempsy> i live 1800 miles from their store
[00:44:00] <archivist_> there was no specification for squareness on the ebay page I saw
[00:44:40] <archivist_> they can check a bad value and claim it in specification
[00:45:53] <archivist_> surely there must be a supplier of the same iron with a differing badge who is more local
[00:46:41] <MacGalempsy> it would be good to check out. maybe I can call and ask about the squareness
[00:47:04] <MacGalempsy> the price seemed good $7k US for the entire 4th axis kit
[00:49:16] <andypugh> $7k for a 4 axis kit? This is big stuff I guess?

[00:52:01] <andypugh> http://www.tormach.com/tormach_pcnc_mills.html
[00:52:27] <andypugh> http://www.smithy.com
[00:53:28] <andypugh> I have at least heard of both of them (and both have contributed to LinuxCNC)
[00:55:40] <MacGalempsy> the tormach 770 looks like the same iron
[00:55:51] <MacGalempsy> as the bolton
[00:56:26] <andypugh> I don't think it is.
[00:59:16] <archivist_> even if it was, I would trust the tormach company to have tested it
[00:59:58] <andypugh> Tormach is flat under the spindle casting, Bolton isn't.
[01:00:04] * archivist_ finds a no name white shed on google maps for the bolton group
[01:00:47] <andypugh> Tormach have Turcite ways, Bolton don't mention that. More worryingly, Bolton are not in Bolton.
[01:01:42] <andypugh> In 5 years time I might be recommending Bolton. But I have been aware of Tormach for 5 years, and have never heard of Bolton.
[01:02:25] <archivist_> last review

[01:04:01] <archivist_> MacGalempsy, in the UK I know how some of the importers either admit or dont about the quality
[01:04:01] -!- PetefromTn has quit [Quit: Bye]
[01:04:34] <archivist_> one supplies a manual with a recommended rebuild before you use
[01:06:08] <andypugh> I really like the Amadeal guy, but the lathe I bought seems to have been made by a guy who has never used a lathe. Which takes some doing :-)
[01:06:49] <MacGalempsy> heh
[01:07:17] <archivist_> I helped a friend do the spindle on the arc euro one (they who wrote a manual)
[01:07:22] <andypugh> In fact, I have given up on all the new iron, and prefer to convert old stuff.
[01:07:46] <archivist_> old iron is cheaper and far better
[01:07:51] <andypugh> But then, this is a hobby, and I don't care how much time it eats.
[01:08:01] <archivist_> may just be.....bigger
[01:08:17] <andypugh> I might be doing a CNC conversion of a Rivett 608. I can't decide :-)
[01:09:43] <archivist_> Myford also used to get one of theirs and re manufacture and then charge the earth, went out of business
[01:10:45] <archivist_> MacGalempsy, dont be frightened of a retrofit, it is a good way to learn
[01:11:51] <andypugh> If I had a lot of money to burn I would quite like to collaborate with RDG in launching a range of Myford CNC lathes. I think that there might be a market for a properly solid home/hobby CNC lathe.
[01:12:22] <archivist_> yes but RDG is a an importation shed
[01:12:56] <archivist_> that now owns a good badge, will they keep the name good or drag it down
[01:13:02] <andypugh> Largely, yes, but they own the name, and are in Halifax.
[01:13:42] <andypugh> There have been very few bad machine tools made in West Yorks.
[01:13:43] <archivist_> I have seen some utter dross from them, small rotary table
[01:14:37] <andypugh> Yeah, that is why I feel that you could make a small fortune by investing a larg fortune in them.
[01:15:45] <archivist_> I have less than a fortune
[01:16:54] <archivist_> missed out on a renishaw probe almost hidden on 221284141570
[01:18:09] <MacGalempsy> I have not my main reason for wanting a a turn key is to avoid the amount of time and effort of a retrofit
[01:18:52] <MacGalempsy> I think I can go to about 10k
[01:19:24] <MacGalempsy> so I figured 7k for the machine and 3k for the rest would get me up and going

[01:20:59] <andypugh> That's almost cheap for the surface plate
[01:21:00] <archivist_> I had £3, got paid 40 for some work, bid 41....
[01:21:26] <archivist_> and only 12miles to fetch
[01:22:20] <andypugh> MacGalempsy: It's probably worth talking to Tormach. They do have a better than average reputation in the market.
[01:22:41] <MacGalempsy> ok. the last thing I want to worry about is crappy precision
[01:24:38] <archivist_> being in another country I am not biased apart from hating to see good money going to bad suppliers for junk
[01:24:43] <andypugh> Tormach also support LinuxCNC as the controller.
[01:25:06] <archivist_> erm...mach on the mills ?
[01:26:02] <andypugh> archivist_: From the spec sheet: PC – MachOS (recommended) or Ubuntu Linux;
[01:26:25] <archivist_> ok so both available
[01:27:12] <andypugh> What I was meaning was that if you ring up with a problem and say that you are using LinuxCNC they won't insist that you switch to Mach before they will talk.
[01:29:09] <somenewguy> i get why, but I hate it when folks do that
[01:29:36] <somenewguy> esp if you are having a purely mechanical problem and they call linux thier 'get out of service free" card
[01:29:50] <andypugh> Tormach also have a fairly neat quich-change tooling system:
http://www.tormach.com/store/index.php?app=ecom&ns=prodshow&ref=32284
[01:30:27] <somenewguy> mmm quiche
[01:30:34] <somenewguy> now im hungry
[01:30:42] <andypugh> Hmm, I wonder what a "quiche change tooling system" would actually do?
[01:31:40] <somenewguy> I assume it is how they correct serving errors in the food service industry
[01:32:10] <archivist_> would that be a stomach pump?
[01:33:32] <andypugh> it's got late again while I wasn't looking.
[01:33:38] <andypugh> Night all.
[01:33:39] <MacGalempsy> heh.

[01:34:21] -!- andypugh has quit [Quit: andypugh]
[01:35:52] <somenewguy> hey I have a question about tightening up some split bronze nuts on my mini-mill
[01:36:10] <somenewguy> I found a how-to article and it says to snug them till the screw binds, then back off a quarter turn
[01:36:23] -!- AR_ has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[01:36:33] <MacGalempsy> so this is my situation on the cnc. I took a semester of machine shop in high school, and I am a college grad who has reached out into other fields. I have some product ideas that would be made through plastic injection molds. my experience with CNC is with 3d printing, but being a research scientist I figured it would just take time to learn and master the process. does this sound over reaching for the machine I showed you guys?
[01:36:38] <somenewguy> I did this but it seems really loose, I feel like what felt good to me was backed off 1/16-1/8th
[01:38:44] <archivist_> somenewguy, yes back off the right amount so its is free over all the screw
[01:39:14] <somenewguy> should it wiggle? cause mine wiggled a healthy few degrees backed off the 1/4 as reccomended
[01:39:33] <somenewguy> I only just got the bed back together and have yet to re-measure the backlash, but it will be miselading since I also adjusted the gibs
[01:39:50] <somenewguy> I figured it should be backed off till it JUST starts to turn free at the ends
[01:40:10] <somenewguy> the machine is new-to-me but seems to have worked many an hour for the PO so I am adjusting it closer to the ends of travel
[01:40:17] <archivist_> MacGalempsy, for mold making also think of just subcontract to someone who has a big enough machine
[01:41:06] <somenewguy> MacGalempsy: if you have a printer, just doing scale prints is inadequet? learning a whole new technology JUST to protype things that will be injection molded seems a pretty big commitment, as my 2cents
[01:41:13] <archivist_> somenewguy, you seem to have the right idea, some of the web howtos are off a bit
[01:41:30] <somenewguy> ok cool, so I will take it all BACK apart and re-do that
[01:41:48] <somenewguy> I used to work as an engine builder, so fiddly little htings like this are well known to be a way of life
[01:41:49] <MacGalempsy> i see what you are saying.
[01:42:28] <somenewguy> that said, I am only in this channel cause I bought a mill to make parts for a project I am tryign to get off the ground as wel, soooooo take that with a grain of salt
[01:42:42] <MacGalempsy> well, it would be to make all the series of molds, then other projects and hobby stuff. I looked at the taigs but wanted to beable to play with a 5th axis kit
[01:42:50] <somenewguy> we bought a 3d printer last year and this is the logical next step, if only if only
[01:42:56] <MacGalempsy> i work from a home office and have time to play during my shift
[01:42:57] <archivist_> taigs are a bit small
[01:43:02] <somenewguy> taigs are quite small
[01:43:16] <MacGalempsy> yeah, that is why I didnt want a taig after seeing the bolton
[01:43:18] <somenewguy> I konw i will be selling this as ssoon as I find a new place to live, with enough room for a full sized bridgport
[01:43:39] <somenewguy> and then I will cry because I no longer have a CNC, but eventually will upgrade the BP
[01:43:57] <somenewguy> how big is the bolton?
[01:44:05] <MacGalempsy> the one review I saw on the bolton was for one of their lathes. the machine shop owner was overly impressed with the features and the price
[01:44:15] <archivist_> keep the cnc you can make parts for the bp
[01:44:17] <somenewguy> My buddy bought one of thosechinese/HF mills a few years back and comparingit to my taig, his is a little bigger
[01:44:33] <somenewguy> but the taig deffinatly wins in quality by a solid margin
[01:44:35] <MacGalempsy> he mentioned the accuracy was way better than what he initially exprected
[01:45:03] <somenewguy> archivist_, hard tojustify the cost of two machines
[01:45:08] <MacGalempsy> do you think the taig could handle steel?
[01:45:18] <somenewguy> It does actually pretty nicely
[01:45:34] <somenewguy> according to Taig themselves, it can do 1/8 deep w/ a 1/8th endmill in steel
[01:45:37] <archivist_> you can get good accuracy of a worn machine with a good operator
[01:45:54] <somenewguy> and after watching how hard my buddys HF mill fights with steel, I consider that an impressive feat
[01:46:26] <somenewguy> Also I crashed the cutter into the steel vice, and it actually cut a pretty big groove right down it with out jumping around too much....
[01:46:37] <somenewguy> expensive/embarressing mistake
[01:46:39] <MacGalempsy> well, i got to go hang out with the wife for a little. catch you guys in a bit
[01:46:42] <somenewguy> have fun
[01:46:51] <jdh> I was amazed at how well mine cut my vise also
[01:47:05] <somenewguy> archivist, one more question on the split nuts
[01:47:15] <archivist_> I only got up for a pee and some cheese, I should go back to bed :)
[01:47:19] <somenewguy> in the how-to video from taig, they say to adjsut the two outer tightening screws
[01:47:30] <somenewguy> the internet has a way of sucking ppl back in
[01:47:41] <somenewguy> but have the center spreader screw tight to begin with
[01:47:45] * archivist_ admits nothing
[01:47:57] <somenewguy> that seems strange to me, unless the machine is already almost in very good tune
[01:48:20] <somenewguy> I would think you want the center screw loose till you have it close, then snug it up and re-checkthe outer ones
[01:48:25] <somenewguy> any clue on what I should do there?
[01:48:44] -!- Brandonian has quit [Quit: Brandonian]
[01:48:45] <somenewguy> center screw loose or tight when adjusting is the million dollar question
[01:48:50] <archivist_> I am wary of the spreader/clamp method, my hobbymat lathe had that
[01:49:37] <archivist_> I scrapped it and used parts for my mill
[01:50:21] <somenewguy> what is the alternative?
[01:50:26] <somenewguy> or are you about to say ballscrew...
[01:51:53] <archivist_> erm... I have just converted one axis from acme to ballscrew
[01:52:00] <roycroft> ballscrews are generally not necessary for eliminating backlash
[01:52:13] <somenewguy> yeah I am deff not gonna do that
[01:52:21] <roycroft> the primary advantages of ballscrews are reduced friction and increased accuracy
[01:52:41] <somenewguy> not sinking any money into the Taig sicne I know I will sell it in 2-4 years tiem and geta full size bridgeport, at which point I will spend money
[01:52:58] <somenewguy> so for now I am getting my feet wet and learning on this little guy
[01:53:08] <somenewguy> so much fun new stuff to learn!
[01:53:49] <roycroft> i still haven't finished the cnc conversion of my small mill, but i'm definitely not going to put ballscrews on it
[01:54:09] <roycroft> life got in the way of that project
[01:54:17] <roycroft> life has a tendency to do that upon occasion
[01:54:32] <somenewguy> yeah life can be a real jerk
[01:54:53] <roycroft> i have an sx3 clone
[01:55:24] <roycroft> bigger than the taig, but still fairly small
[01:57:54] <kwallace2> Don't underestimate the need for ball screws and not just any ball screws.
[01:58:36] <roycroft> what do you mean by that?
[01:59:03] <kwallace2> I spent good money on a set without preload and the backlash makes them nearly useless for CNC.
[01:59:32] <kwallace2> They are great for manual milling, just not CNC.
[01:59:41] <roycroft> ok
[02:00:04] * roycroft steps back
[02:00:36] <kwallace2> http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/bridgeport/
[02:02:16] <roycroft> i've manually operated a bridgeport with ball screws and found it extremely difficult to control
[02:02:56] <roycroft> but the context of this discussion, from what i gathered when i entered it, was eliminating backlash on a taig mill
[02:03:17] <roycroft> i was pointing out that backlash elimination is not a primary reason to install ball screws
[02:03:27] <roycroft> it can be done with acme screws
[02:04:06] -!- joe9 has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[02:04:27] <somenewguy> ball screws give you speed too is the big thing, due to lower friction is my understanding
[02:04:53] <somenewguy> and i would say you install ball scrwes not to iliminate backlash as much as to stop it from showing up in the form of wear
[02:04:54] <roycroft> yes, but on a small mill that's not generally a major consideration
[02:04:55] <somenewguy> also linearity
[02:05:02] <somenewguy> eliminate
[02:05:08] <roycroft> and the increased accuracy of ground ball screws is wasted on a small mill
[02:05:12] <somenewguy> also yes that
[02:05:40] <somenewguy> is that your mill?
[02:05:55] <archivist_> I think there is 9 thou wear mid screw on my old horizontal mill, there is little one can do but replace to fix
[02:06:42] <kwallace2> I've tried to adjust the backlash out of my Bridgeport acme screws and they are nearly impossible to drive.
[02:07:00] <roycroft> perhaps they are well-worn
[02:07:40] <roycroft> i've worked on bridgeports with the stock acme screws that are pretty tight
[02:08:21] <roycroft> not that bridgeport is the gold standard of accurate mills by any means

[02:09:33] <somenewguy> kwallace2: I hate you for linking that dang build
[02:09:35] <roycroft> and again, this discussion is about taigs, not bridgeports
[02:09:41] <somenewguy> I bought the Taig so I would stop drooling over real mills
[02:10:31] <somenewguy> a oiling system on ataig is stupid, right? I can just do it manually from time to time, the holes would just make it weaker, yeah?
[02:10:45] <roycroft> well i would work on backlash elimination with the stock screws on the taig, and not replace them with ball screws
[02:11:01] <somenewguy> that is what I am doing, and so far so good
[02:11:02] <roycroft> i would also not expect to hold 0.001" on a taig, no matter what kinds of screws you ahve
[02:11:11] <roycroft> nor how much scraping/fine tuning
[02:11:30] <somenewguy> I feel confident I am at <.002 at this point
[02:11:34] <somenewguy> well at least .002
[02:11:37] <roycroft> not unless you're taking extremely light cuts
[02:11:42] <archivist_> I would expect better than a thou after a tweek
[02:11:50] <roycroft> there's just not enough mass there
[02:12:02] <somenewguy> light cuts are easy w/ cnc, since time almost isn't an issue lol
[02:12:03] <archivist_> spring pass
[02:12:12] <roycroft> any kind of a hogging cut is going to cause a lot of vibration that's not dampened
[02:12:17] <somenewguy> they advertise it as having .0005 mech accuracy
[02:12:27] <roycroft> that could be
[02:12:33] <somenewguy> I am condsidering filling the vertical column witch cement
[02:12:35] <somenewguy> with cement
[02:12:40] <somenewguy> not witch cement
[02:12:52] <somenewguy> although the hex might help
[02:13:08] <roycroft> some folks add mass using epoxy mixed with aggregate
[02:13:17] <somenewguy> aside from cursing myself if I need to move it around the shop, I assume it can't hurt, right?
[02:13:23] <somenewguy> ok so I am not hte only one to have the idea
[02:13:38] <roycroft> it's something that's fairly commonly done on smallish mills
[02:13:48] <roycroft> say, those weighing less than 500kg or so
[02:13:49] <somenewguy> I had to do this on my old drill press, the vertical column was so damn thin it bowed backwards hwen you drilled steel, and the set screws deformed the pipe...
[02:14:01] <archivist_> my column was too flexible, I added angle to it to make a larger square
[02:14:14] <roycroft> the epoxy is a better vibration dampener than concrete
[02:14:31] <somenewguy> ok cool, I actually have some left over cement and high heat morter from a bbq build
[02:14:37] <somenewguy> what kind of epoxy?
[02:14:47] <kwallace2> Okay, for a Taig class machine, I'll agree with you.
[02:14:52] <somenewguy> I have never looked at something like that as a bulk item so in my mind epoxy == expesnive
[02:15:22] <roycroft> teh google will help you find further discussion of that
[02:15:32] <somenewguy> ...actually doing that now
[02:15:33] <roycroft> i haven't done so myself, and it's been some time since i read up on it
[02:15:46] <somenewguy> had to close my CL window browsing local bridgeport offerings...
[02:15:51] <roycroft> but there are several threads in the machining forums about it
[02:16:01] <kwallace2> I'm hoping I can put a desktop mill together for milling circuit boards.
[02:16:09] <somenewguy> what are good forums w/ a real active user base?
[02:16:11] <somenewguy> I am very new
[02:16:34] <kwallace2> It's just got to me dirt cheap.
[02:16:35] <somenewguy> kwallace2: that is a big part of why I bought my mendel max 3d printer in the firstpalce
[02:16:35] <roycroft> i bolted my mill down onto a stand i built that weighs about 200kg

[02:17:45] <roycroft> i would focus on lapping/scraping the ways on the mill and eliminating backlash before anything else
[02:17:45] -!- stsydow has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[02:18:10] <roycroft> oh, if you're going to mill pcbs, don't bother with the dampening stuff
[02:18:18] <roycroft> those are going to be very light cuts
[02:18:19] <somenewguy> pcbs are not the major use
[02:18:24] <somenewguy> just alucky side effect
[02:18:26] <roycroft> you won't have vibration problems
[02:18:36] <roycroft> you'll need a new spindle, though
[02:18:48] <roycroft> a really really fast one
[02:18:51] <somenewguy> I will be doing tons of aluminum and some steel etc etc
[02:18:58] <somenewguy> howfast is really really fast?
[02:19:09] <somenewguy> these bearings are only good to 10k
[02:19:10] <roycroft> depends on the diameter of the cutter/drill
[02:19:19] <roycroft> but for pcbs, probably 20k-30k rpm
[02:19:27] <somenewguy> whee
[02:19:47] <somenewguy> probably just make a saddle to hold a dremmel onto the existing Zaxis
[02:19:50] <somenewguy> but not dremmel brand
[02:19:51] <roycroft> yup
[02:19:53] <somenewguy> that other brand, htey are better
[02:19:54] <roycroft> except not a dremel :)
[02:19:58] <roycroft> something real
[02:19:59] <somenewguy> traxxon?
[02:20:04] <somenewguy> proxon?
[02:20:07] <somenewguy> traxxis?
[02:20:13] <roycroft> some folks use the proxon stuff
[02:20:18] <roycroft> some use air die grinders
[02:20:32] <roycroft> and there are some custom spindles available
[02:20:49] <somenewguy> proxon, thats the one. my partner on this project bought a dremmel and a proxon, side by side the cheaper ugly proxon is way tighter on spec
[02:21:09] <roycroft> some that are driven off the main spindle motor, stepped up with gears or sheaves
[02:21:36] <roycroft> with a dremel you're going to start out with about 0.010" runout if you're lucky
[02:21:46] <roycroft> and as soon as you turn it on the runout gets worse
[02:22:11] <roycroft> there's a reason you can buy one for $30 :)
[02:22:30] <roycroft> and then buy it again and again and again

[15:48:22] <Loetmichel> i think THAT is an urban legend
[15:48:40] <JesusAlos> I already do it this morning (in Europe)
[15:48:44] <Loetmichel> i use it to clean brushed motors RUNNING...
[15:48:45] <pcw_home> the vapors are fairly flammable

[15:49:12] <Loetmichel> it can, and it will
[15:49:28] <JesusAlos> is possible the PCI card broken?
[15:49:30] <Loetmichel> when exposed to a sufficient igniting source
[15:49:56] <Loetmichel> but that igniting source has to be surprisiungly powerful
[15:50:05] <Loetmichel> like a burning lighter or something
[15:50:06] <pcw_home> no but sparks from switching the power supply could ignate the vapors
[15:50:47] <Loetmichel> pcw_home: right. with what possibility?
[15:50:54] <Loetmichel> 1:1e10?
[15:50:55] <pcw_home> flashpoint = 11.7 C
[15:51:09] <pcw_home> not worth the risk

[15:51:34] <Loetmichel> but not worth the scare off either
[15:52:23] <Loetmichel> what i meant was IPA is flammable, but it is not really a "hollywood car" that ignites every time a spark is anywhere in a 100m radius.
[15:53:03] <pcw_home> OK you go and advise people to use flammable solvents near sparks, I wont

[15:54:14] <Loetmichel> the whole 1 liter bottle poured over the PC and switched on is a whole different ballpark, though
[15:54:19] <jdh> do people have this problem often (dirty pci slots)?
[15:54:31] <pcw_home> Yes
[15:54:32] <Loetmichel> jdh: i have sometimes.

[16:42:35] <MacGalempsy> thanks, I will read
[16:43:21] <archivist_> sorry not last see the one from Mitch Anderson
[16:43:29] <pcw_home> I would suggest NOT using an eraser or anything abrasive and using 99% IPA instead
[16:44:01] <tjtr33> ? ok, 'works for me' . is the plating that thin?

[16:44:45] <Loetmichel> tjtr33: i HAVE used a rubber ereaser on a edge card and managed to get the complete Gold off
[16:44:46] <CaptHindsight> there is also a risk of ESD damaging the CMOS devices with the eraser
[16:44:49] <archivist_> I use nothing more than paper soaked in ipa
[16:44:51] <MacGalempsy> archivist_: the only true review of their product on that page was of a lathe and that was good
[16:45:20] <archivist_> MacGalempsy, be careful of "planted" reviews
[16:45:42] <JesusAlos> you refer "rubber eraser" to use for erase pencil?
[16:45:48] <archivist_> too good to be believed....done by the seller
[16:45:55] <Loetmichel> yes
[16:46:00] <MacGalempsy> there was a longer writeup by a guy with a small machine shop. the bolton machines seem to fill a gap, anyways, that guys was impressed with all the features and the accuracy of the machine
[16:46:01] <Loetmichel> the red/blue ones
[16:46:09] <jdh> pink pearl erasers
[16:46:21] <tjtr33> JesusAlos, i've doen it a lot for many years, but the advise here is dont ( and yes , the other end of a pencil)
[16:46:39] <tjtr33> very soft
[16:46:56] <archivist_> MacGalempsy, but that person who went there is speaking of a place just with boxes and no testing by the look of it
[16:47:00] <Loetmichel> tjb1: i think it depends on the kind of ereaser
[16:47:14] <tjtr33> brown end of pencil tjtr33
[16:47:24] <MacGalempsy> that guy did not have a chance to review the product because it was still in the box
[16:47:53] <Loetmichel> this kind tends to rub off the gold as well als the oxides:

[16:47:58] <archivist_> exactly my point they do not open
[16:48:13] <JesusAlos> ah
[16:48:14] <JesusAlos> ok
[16:48:18] <MacGalempsy> anyways, I will listen to their sales pitch and see what he has to say. the mast height seemed to be big enough to use a 5th axis
[16:48:19] <JesusAlos> is abrasive
[16:48:21] <JesusAlos> I never lisen it.
[16:48:54] <JesusAlos> in this case the PC have only 9 month. Don't think the oxidation do his job

[16:49:56] <Loetmichel> JesusAlos: i would think so, too
[16:50:14] <Loetmichel> especially when the developer of the board suggests it
[16:50:38] <archivist_> tjtr33, method I use too
[16:51:13] <tjtr33> used to use US dollar bills, the rag content was slightly abrasive, great on 'german silver' relay contacts
[16:51:28] <tjtr33> new bills no good, plastic money
[16:51:33] <archivist_> also plugin board and remove a few times, with modern thin plating once or twice only

[18:56:51] <joebog> morning all
[18:57:13] <joebog> I have some god news :) my engraver works wheeee
[18:57:46] <joebog> BUT one little problem :( the linuxcnc logo prints upside down :(
[18:58:04] <joebog> its flipped in the Y axis
[18:58:06] <andypugh> Invert the Y axis
[18:58:20] <Jymmm> joebog: Turn your machine upsde down, then it will engrave correctly =)
[18:58:40] <andypugh> (simplest way is to invert the Y stepper direction pin in stepconf)

[19:07:58] <joebog> and for the life of me I cant remember the name
[19:08:51] <joebog> made in england 30 years ago

[19:19:10] <joebog> the 4th axix will be an indexing head
[19:19:22] <joebog> it has a planetary drive system
[19:19:45] <joebog> Im working on that today, plus I will have another 30 or 40 photos to post
[19:20:27] <joebog> the machine is going to be used to make small gun parts and engrave scrollwork etc on guns
[19:23:55] <jdh> make me a BCG
[19:24:04] <jdh> it's small, relatively.
[19:24:37] <joebog> BCG ???

[20:20:35] <JesusAlos> hi people
[20:20:45] <joebog> hello :)
[20:21:51] <JesusAlos> I add this repository deb
http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ hardy master-rt
[20:22:09] <JesusAlos> to update 2.6
[20:22:23] <JesusAlos> but system need dependences
[20:22:53] <joebog> did you do an " apt-get install linuxcnc " ?
[20:23:56] <joebog> or if you just need update you do " sudo apt-get update "
[20:24:14] <joebog> the dependencies should automatically load
[20:24:46] <JesusAlos> I need update from 2.5.3
[20:28:06] <JesusAlos> and when type sudo apt-get install linuxcnc say need dependences too
[20:28:20] <joebog> If you're upgrading from one major version to another, for example from 2.4 to 2.5, you may need to do config changes! Read about it on the Wiki.
[20:29:02] <joebog> that is what the page says that you posted
[20:32:54] <joebog> hhmm but I think if added a new repository and you do an " sudo apt-get update " it should find the dependencies
[20:32:59] -!- skorasaurus has quit [Quit: Elvis has left the building.]
[20:35:13] <JesusAlos> not do
[20:36:14] <joebog> fix broken packages ??
[20:36:28] <JesusAlos> yes
[20:36:55] <JesusAlos> libmodbus5 and hostmot2-firmware
[20:37:19] <joebog> did you install the manually ?
[20:38:09] <JesusAlos> you refer libmodbus5 and hostmot2-firmware ?
[20:38:24] <JesusAlos> no
[20:38:35] <cradek> you also need the "base" component
[20:39:18] <joebog> the other way to do it, is to delete your current install and reinstall the new version
[20:39:33] <joebog> BUT any files you have made will need to be saved first
[20:39:46] <cradek> http://linuxcnc.org/dists/hardy/base/binary-i386/
[20:40:27] <JesusAlos> what is the difference betweendeb
http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ lucid master-rt
[20:40:57] <JesusAlos> and deb
http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ hardy master-rt
[20:41:03] <JesusAlos> ?
[20:41:13] <cradek> one is for lucid, one is for hardy
[20:41:16] <joebog> lucid is a much newer version than Hardy
[20:41:28] <joebog> Lucid lynx
[20:41:41] <cradek> hardy is the 2008 release. lucid is the 2010 release.
[20:41:55] <joebog> a couple of years newer I beleive but I cant remember the actual dates

[23:25:05] <JT-Shop> I should be doing something
[23:26:26] <skunkworks> heh
[23:26:33] * somenewguy looks at pile of cut wires on his bench
[23:26:37] <somenewguy> you and me both
[23:26:47] <somenewguy> I'll just re-wire the panel I say
[23:26:51] <somenewguy> It'll be quick and easy I say...
[23:27:15] <JT-Shop> nothing is ever both quick and easy
[23:27:56] <JT-Shop> anyone want to play with my mill G code generator?
[23:28:12] <somenewguy> waht does it do?
[23:28:36] <JT-Shop> so far it is starting to generate the code needed for holes and tapping
[23:29:19] <JT-Shop> it's a Python Gtk app
[23:29:44] <JT-Shop> http://www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum/20-g-code/27032-mill-g-code-generator#39161
[23:31:08] <JT-Shop> I think I'll go work on it for a bit... I've been out in the shop all day
[23:31:50] <somenewguy> ok. I need to get my mill re-assembled, but it sounds like it will generate peck drill code?
[23:32:09] <somenewguy> I need to do some of that so I would be happy to take it for a spin, even tho I hand code that stuff usually
[23:33:31] <jthornton> I find it a tad faster to use the app than hand coding
[23:33:46] <jthornton> and you just made me add deep hole drilling too
[23:35:27] <somenewguy> haha
[23:35:43] <somenewguy> I am drilling .8 and 2.2 mm holes in acrylic, PECK OR DIE!
[23:35:43] <jthornton> one thing it does well is calculate the actual depth from the tip to get the depth of the full hole
[23:35:52] <somenewguy> THAT is a nice plus
[23:36:00] <somenewguy> are you two the same person?
[23:36:10] <jthornton> yea, we have a split personality
[23:36:19] <jthornton> I'm in the beer cave now
[23:36:46] <jthornton> it does spot drilling, drilling, reaming, chamfer and tap
[23:38:16] -!- thomaslindstr_m has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[23:39:03] <kwallace2> How can you calculate the tip length?
[23:39:47] <jthornton> by the angle and diameter
[23:40:37] <kwallace2> There are different tip types, normal and split point, I gave up on trying to make the calc.
[23:41:00] <jthornton> yea, that is cutting hairs there
[23:41:24] <jthornton> I just use 118 or 135
[23:42:22] <kwallace2> My generator only uses the tip for reference.
[23:42:47] <somenewguy> that is a nice plus tho
[23:43:12] <somenewguy> since when I am drilling those small holes I don't want to cut any more into my udnerlying support than I need to, as sucking wood chips thru the acrylic is not good fora hole that small!
[23:43:18] <jthornton> comes in handy when your reaming blind holes and you want some depth
[23:43:19] <somenewguy> I need my dang parallels to show up

[23:44:40] <ries> Hey Guys, good evening. I wanted to implement auto-zero for my indexer, but then I realised that indexer's don't have limits. How do you configure homing for a indexer but in sutch a way that he will not wind back to zero but to the first latch position?
[23:45:12] <jthornton> do you have an input at each latch position?
