[00:04:08] <Tom_itx> CaptHindsight, you against sears tools?
[00:04:30] <Tom_itx> they've got digital torque wrenches
[00:04:43] <Tom_itx> snapon is probably 2.5x higher
[00:04:52] <CaptHindsight> Tom_itx: yeah just got a new one on fleabay for $90
[00:05:09] <Tom_itx> k
[00:05:12] <CaptHindsight> looks like new old stock/discontinued
[00:05:27] <Tom_itx> it'll still show torque :)
[00:05:50] <Tom_itx> i was looking for 1/2" drive the other day
[00:05:55] <CaptHindsight> not just older torque settings?
[00:05:57] <Tom_itx> wound up not needing one
[00:09:30] <CaptHindsight> Ace hardware started carrying Craftsman, so it's easier to exchange broken tools now
[00:12:57] <CaptHindsight> I like Snap-On for the specialty tools. Wrenches, sockets, screw drivers all wear and break about the same rate from any of the lifetime warranty brands
[00:15:55] <CaptHindsight> http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=&item_ID=737947&group_ID=683084&store=&dir=catalog this seems a bit over priced

[00:17:35] <Valen> if you are buying 2.5" drive sockets you can probably afford it ;-P
[00:17:38] <WalterN> snapon is really expensive, but they dont ask questions, and overall quality is higher than anything else I've seen

[00:29:08] <Valen> kickban 4 life!
[00:29:16] <Valen> ;-p
[00:29:18] <CaptHindsight> Valen: the Sidchrome warranty link takes you to
http://ourwarranty.com.au/ Stanley/Black&Decker
[00:29:37] <Valen> yeah, they got baught out :-<
[00:29:41] <CaptHindsight> is Sidchrome their high end line?
[00:29:52] <Valen> i believe so
[00:30:01] <WalterN> 10% of their revenues
[00:30:14] <Valen> I'm going to start making my own tools soon
[00:30:18] <WalterN> as a percentage, that does not seem like much
[00:30:28] <CaptHindsight> in most of China Stanley is the high end line :(
[00:30:43] <Valen> they used to actually be made in sydney
[00:32:13] <andypugh> They own Facom too.
[00:34:21] <Valen> dad and I are half way through designing a set of pliers (as in linesman, snips etc) that take carbide/hss inserts and have adjustable/replaceble hinges
[00:34:36] <Tom_itx> it's harder for me to get snapon now and the sears high end work just as well
[00:34:55] <Tom_itx> i'm not doing it full time so it's not that critical
[00:36:12] <andypugh> I doubt it ever is that critical.
[00:36:37] <andypugh> None of the mechanics at work use Snap-On.
[00:37:07] <Tom_itx> the only thing they really got goin for em is delivery
[00:38:50] <WalterN> yeah
[00:39:09] -!- Nick001 has quit [Ping timeout: 265 seconds]
[00:39:14] <WalterN> I wouldent get snapon unless you work at a mechanic shop at least part time

[00:39:53] <CaptHindsight> the SnapOn factory is not far from here. Mac is the other tool co in the area with trucks that drive right to shops and sell direct
[00:40:07] <Tom_itx> yeah
[00:40:22] <Tom_itx> i don't think their quality is quite as good
[00:40:24] <CaptHindsight> they both have online shops now
[00:40:33] <Tom_itx> maybe they've improved...
[00:40:52] <andypugh> Mac is part of Stanley....
[00:41:00] <CaptHindsight> whenever I'd call they said they would have to contact the truck in the area to come out
[00:41:50] <CaptHindsight> oh nooes, pretty soon it's all going to be Stanley
[00:41:57] <Tom_itx> now if i break one i just toss it in the car and wait til i see a truck
[00:42:26] <Valen> I probably would have gone snapon if I could buy them easily
[00:44:31] <CaptHindsight> the stocking stuffer tools sets have reappeared, the ones with 102 pieces, 80 being tips for screw drivers and 10 wrenches all too short to get any torque on them
[00:45:36] <Valen> lol
[00:45:58] <Valen> I got the wifes sister a sidchrome toolbox for her 18th birthday
[00:46:21] <andypugh> Did that please her?
[00:46:22] <Tom_itx> CaptHindsight if you could get torque on them, they'd probably break
[00:47:57] <Valen> well the rest of the space was stuffed with "adult products" from the wife so hopefully one or the other did lol
[00:48:02] <CaptHindsight> I somehow ended up with a few 1/2 and 3/8 extensions that twisted when torqued. One actually twisted 90 deg without shearing

[01:49:05] <andypugh> Yes, but no :-)
[01:49:33] <andypugh> Yes, I have 4 sets of step pulses. But I don't understand them.
[01:49:33] -!- voxadam has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
[01:50:22] <NickParker> what are they doing?
[01:50:51] <andypugh> Nothing that makes much sense to me :-)
[01:51:22] <NickParker> so.. not following any sort of table you've given it then?
[01:51:48] <andypugh> Probably, I just am not sure how
[01:54:02] <andypugh> I need a bit of clarification from PCW.
[01:54:16] <andypugh> I can definitely control all 4 pins.
[01:54:39] <NickParker> hmm, well thanks for working on it.
[01:54:45] <andypugh> I am trying to figure out the logic now
[01:57:04] <andypugh> I think the bit I don't understand is how the table is cleared/purged
[01:57:52] -!- skunkworks [skunkworks!~chatzilla@str-broadband-ccmts-ws-26.dsl.airstreamcomm.net] has joined #linuxcnc
[01:58:44] <pcw_home> the table is written from the last to first (and you need to set the table length)
[01:59:48] <andypugh> But once I have written a table, how do I write a new one? Or is it a ring-buffer where it just reads the last N entries?
[02:00:06] <pcw_home> last n
[02:00:14] <andypugh> Hmm, OK
[02:00:31] <pcw_home> well assuming you have set N (table length)
[02:00:57] <andypugh> And the 6 least significant bits control the (up to) 6 pins in each stepgen?
[02:01:26] <andypugh> (no padding of multiple patterns into the 32 bits?)
[02:01:54] <pcw_home> yes bit 0 is "step" bit1 is "dir" bit 2 is table2 etc
[02:02:24] <andypugh> Halscope might not be the ideal tool.
[02:03:14] <pcw_home> 4 LEDs , stepgen in velocity m ode at 1Hz may be more appropriate
[02:04:35] <andypugh> NickParker: Are you set up to apply a patch and compile LinuxCNC?
[02:04:58] <andypugh> It's time I went to sleep.
[02:05:03] <NickParker> er, probably? I have a PC with linuxcnc installed.I can give it internet if you need me to.
[02:05:34] <andypugh> There is rather more to it than that.

[02:13:15] <NickParker> Yeah I just looked up building linuxcnc, I would need another machine running linux, that'd probably take me as long to set up as you pushing to master.

[18:39:40] <IchGuckLive> there is a opto 22 driver inside linuxcnc
[18:39:41] <colep> Well, I'd rather not. I don't need all the other functionality. I suppose that is an option though
[18:39:47] <IchGuckLive> loadrt opto_ac5
[18:39:55] <IchGuckLive> and you are done
[18:39:57] <pcw_home> you can use it with just HAL
[18:40:07] <IchGuckLive> opto_ac5.0.port0.in-00 - They would be numbered from 00 to 11
[18:40:14] <IchGuckLive> opto_ac5.0.port0.out-12 - They would be numbered 12 to 23 port 1 would be the same.

[18:44:16] <colep> pcw_home: How would I use it with just HAL?

[19:31:55] <Jymmm> pcw_home: I ordered another of the same 18650 flashlight. Compared to the first one, it's brighter (even swapped batteries to confirm), but... the brass button that holds the LED wasn't even screwed into the body.

[19:43:05] <Jymmm> I disassembled the head from the body (they use thread lock), and was able to screw in the brass button into the body no problem, it's as if they just forgot to do it.
[19:43:39] <Jymmm> PCW: Note: looking into the led without the reflector/head on it is a BAD THING! lol
[19:44:47] <PCW> I have a DX 60W LED also dont want to look at that one
[19:46:01] <Jymmm> PCW: which one?
[19:47:27] <PCW> I forget which exact one (its a 10x10 array of I guess .6W LEDS on a heat sink wire in series/parallel so ~36V)
[19:48:05] <Jymmm> wole flashifht or just a module?
[19:48:09] <Jymmm> whole*
[19:48:29] <PCW> Just LED for testing as strobe light
[19:48:50] <PCW> (white)
[19:48:52] <Jymmm> lol
[19:49:01] <Jymmm> If you find the SKU let me know.
[19:49:21] <Jymmm> so, how was it as a strobe?
[19:50:11] <PCW> OK but I need to get braver and see how far it can be over driven (Ive heard maybe 3x for 1% duty cycle or lower)
[19:52:03] <Jymmm> PCW: You can use reflectors/difussers to give a brighter appearance too

[20:01:35] <WalterN> does royal make a 3-jaw chuck for the S-30 mounting thing?
[20:02:04] <WalterN> or is that a more standard thing where I can just buy a 3-jaw from somewhere and bolt it on?
[20:03:22] -!- voxadam has quit [Quit: quit]
[20:04:51] <WalterN> oh yeah, its a more generic thing
[20:05:00] <WalterN> they sell adapter plates or something
[20:06:36] <WalterN> its an A2-8 thing

[20:10:12] <mozmck> PCW: what is the strobe for?
[20:12:13] <PCW> just a normal adjustable frequency strobelight for "freezing" repetitive motions
[20:13:13] -!- patrickarlt has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[20:13:19] <PCW> but no HV and easily adjustable pulse width
[20:14:53] <PCW> surprisingly the phosphor on white LEDs is quite fast so OK for down to 50 uSec or so

[20:30:01] <andypugh> WalterN: Taylor
[20:31:24] <WalterN> andypugh: never brought a 3-jaw before, the CNC lathe its going to be used in has a royal A2-8 collet chuck on it right now, when looking for a 3-jaw is there anything I need to look for in regards to mounting?
[20:32:09] <andypugh> I really am no expert. Not at all.
[20:33:06] <andypugh> I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek with the Taylor comment. I would quite like one for my Rivett as they were considered the Bees Knees until the company went bust in about 1950.
[20:33:33] <WalterN> oh heh
[20:33:48] <andypugh> http://www.lathes.co.uk/taylor/page6.html
[20:34:24] <andypugh> You need a chuck with an A2-8 backplate, basically. I don't think you will find that anyone bothers making rubbish on that fitting.
[20:37:40] <andypugh> Is this inside your budget?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/121221660159
[20:38:36] <WalterN> heh yeah it is
[20:39:12] <andypugh> Well, I would certainly trush Pratt-Burnerd for a chuck brand.
[20:39:52] -!- juanluisrp has quit [Read error: Operation timed out]
[20:40:24] <WalterN> now I just need to find that same chuck online where the specs are actually showing
[20:41:05] <andypugh> There is a nice, brand new. Pratt Burnerd air chuck on there too, but with no backplate (as far as I can tell). The one in the link above appears to be A2-something, yopu might have to scale off the photot to figure out if it is A2-8, but it's an 8" chuck, and the holes are in the right place
[20:41:15] <WalterN> when they say 'scroll' thats the thing that screws into the chuck to clamp/unclamp, right?
[20:42:01] <andypugh> No, it's an internal part of the chuck.
[20:42:30] <andypugh> http://www.600uk.com/data/downloads/products/PBI%20Workholding%20Catalogue.pdf
[20:46:02] <WalterN> so its the 200mm size
[20:47:13] <WalterN> they dont make an adapter plate for the A-6 size
[20:47:19] <WalterN> erm, A-8
[20:47:21] -!- jlrodriguez has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[20:48:43] <andypugh> I am confused, as Google has found me a 1219-00375 that is a 12"
[20:49:35] <andypugh> I think perhaps I mis-identified the spigot on the back of that chuck as an integral A2 mount. Sorry.
[20:51:19] <WalterN> the bolt pattern is different
[20:52:17] <WalterN> I think

[20:52:34] <WalterN> or wait
[20:52:48] <WalterN> maybe not
[20:53:30] <andypugh> Making an adaptor plate ought to be fairly easy :-)
[20:53:51] <WalterN> not without that 3-jaw to hold on to such a thing
[20:55:11] <andypugh> You don't have a 4-jaw either?
[20:57:26] <WalterN> no
[20:57:39] <andypugh> A faceplate?
[20:57:45] <WalterN> dont have much of anything
[20:58:23] -!- Valen has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[20:58:26] <WalterN> the only thing I know is that the collet chuck on there now is a royal S-30 with the A2-8 mounting... or whatever
[20:58:49] <andypugh> Yeah, that means that the lathe spindle has an A2-8 mount.
[20:59:07] <WalterN> so I dont need an adapter plate
[20:59:16] <andypugh> But you could measure to check:
http://www.lathes.co.uk/latheparts/page12.html
[20:59:48] <WalterN> measure what?
[21:00:19] <andypugh> You don't need an adaptor plate _if_ you find a chuch which ahs an integral A2-8, or is already fitted to an A2-8 adaptor, or you want to make an A2-8 adaptor.
[21:00:26] <andypugh> The spindle taper.
[21:01:03] <WalterN> so I would need to take the chuck off of the machine
[21:01:07] <WalterN> herm
[21:01:18] <andypugh> Yes.
[21:01:23] <WalterN> that wont happen until this job is done
[21:02:18] <andypugh> If the S3 says "A2-8 on it, and the outside siameter of the spindle matches those drawings, you can be pretty confident. (you can measure the bolt hole centres with the collet chuck in place)
[21:03:28] <WalterN> yeah
[21:03:48] <WalterN> lemme look and see if its two different units or something
[21:04:16] <WalterN> after the part is done
[21:07:00] <WalterN> these things take so long
[21:07:27] <WalterN> had to slow the feed way down because its an interrupted cut
[21:07:57] <WalterN> and 4140 steel
[21:08:32] <andypugh> The Royal S30 will be one unit, bolted to the A2-8 taper on the spindle nose.
[21:09:13] <WalterN> yeah, thats what I recall it being
