[00:00:03] <andypugh> Tom_itx: Yes, exactly what I had, and did, on Saturday
[00:00:22] <Tom_itx> just telling you my results. tried multiple times
[00:00:23] <JT-Shop> same here a 525 with HD and a CD drive
[00:00:37] <PCW> mmm jambalaya
[00:02:03] <andypugh> Who is LiveCD generalissimo? Cradek?
[00:02:08] <Tom_itx> cd burned on a windoz machine
[00:02:25] <JT-Shop> second install no CNC menu even after seeing it during "test ubuntu"
[00:02:33] <JT-Shop> dang if I know
[00:02:52] <JT-Shop> Tom_itx: me too burned on a winblows machine
[00:02:53] <andypugh> I didn't actually burn a CD, I made a USB stick bootable using the Ubuntu utility and the .iso file. I wonder if that matters?
[00:02:56] <Tom_itx> well if you just need it, grab it from the link i pasted
[00:03:05] <JT-Shop> be back in a bit when I get the Jambalaya going

[00:29:04] <JT-Shop> I guess I'll download to a ubuntu machine but I don't think that makes any difference
[00:29:22] <JT-Shop> funny thing is the CNC menu shows up trying but not when you install
[00:29:33] <Tom_itx> i doubt it if it's an issue with the CD
[00:30:55] <JT-Shop> you mean burning the CD?
[00:31:39] <JT-Shop> I know the livecd worked at least once for me as the BP has 2.5 installed
[00:32:03] <Tom_itx> mine never did
[00:32:17] <Tom_itx> as far as installing linuxcnc
[00:32:21] <Tom_itx> it installed ubuntu fine
[00:34:38] <JT-Shop> andypugh: I think the livecd is mozmck
[00:34:53] <JT-Shop> but I might be full of shit and not know it
[00:35:33] -!- rob_h has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[00:42:34] <mozmck> hi JT-Shop: I thought the LiveCD had 2.4 on it? but I don't remember as that has been 2 years. Has it been updated?
[00:42:51] <Tom_itx> yes
[00:42:53] <Tom_itx> 2.5
[00:43:06] <andypugh> I donloaded the LiveCD .iso from the US source. I used it as the install media for a new VM under VMWare fusion. It instaled and ran and has a CNC menu and runs the latency test (7mS Jitter in the VM :-)
[00:43:11] <Tom_itx> but at least with my experience it only installs ubuntu
[00:43:16] <JT-Shop> hi mozmck yes it has 2.5 or at least once I've installed 2.5 from the livecd
[00:43:52] <JT-Shop> I wonder if it has to do with only a couple of mb of free space and winblows
[00:43:52] <Tom_itx> i'm told there is a choice early on to install or run but i never see that option
[00:44:05] <JT-Shop> I'm burning it now with ubuntu
[00:44:28] <mozmck> I haven't watched closely, but I haven't heard of that problem. I always had EMC (LinuxCNC) after it's installed.
[00:45:13] <andypugh> I used the file ubuntu-10.04-linuxcnc2-i386.iso last updated 17th April. It worked as expected.
[00:45:17] <Tom_itx> my old one installs fine
[00:45:22] <Tom_itx> just 2.5
[00:45:30] <andypugh> So, back to the Indian Burial Ground Hypothesis
[00:47:21] <JT-Shop> Tom_itx: when you first see a couple of images at the bottom of the screen you get a menu if you hit a key
[00:48:04] <Tom_itx> i could try it on my SSD
[00:48:19] -!- Thetawaves [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:48:21] <Tom_itx> don't wanna mess up my fresh install
[00:48:36] <FinboySlick> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_qHR_H_2cg <- This thing makes me cry with envy.
[00:48:59] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop, if that fixes it someone should mention that on the site
[00:49:01] <mozmck> I see. The I missed that the liveCD was updated. Still sounds odd. You should be able to run the install script I would think.
[00:49:08] -!- dimas has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[00:50:17] <FinboySlick> It does *everything*.
[00:50:26] <JT-Shop> if I just select try the cd the CNC menu shows up
[00:50:47] <JT-Shop> I'm trying to install from the first menu from a CD burned in ubuntu now
[00:51:24] <JT-Shop> threat milling?
[00:52:05] <FinboySlick> JT-Shop: It's so intimidating that it just threatens the metal to shape itself or else...
[00:52:14] <JT-Shop> LOL
[00:52:55] <FinboySlick> 2:25 shows a lovely set of tools too.
[00:53:57] <JT-Shop> I'm still at 0:51
[00:53:58] <FinboySlick> It probably costs more than my entire town though.
[00:56:42] <JT-Shop> I dang sure don't want to write the g code for that
[00:56:51] <andypugh> FinboySlick: I am wondering if that is a real component.
[00:57:10] <JT-Shop> trade show show off I'd bet
[00:57:29] <FinboySlick> andypugh: It's done at a booth so I doubt it.
[00:57:40] <FinboySlick> It's a machine show-off kind of deal.
[00:57:41] <Tom_itx> "Try ubuntu without installing, install ubuntu, check disc for defects, test memory, boot from first hdd" are the only options i get when i press a key
[00:57:52] <Jymmm> Anyone yet notice there's no coolant being used =)
[00:58:19] <FinboySlick> Jymmm: It'd hinder the show.
[00:58:27] <JT-Shop> you peel off the chips fast enough you don't need any stinking coolant
[00:58:34] <andypugh> I _think_ LinuxCNC could control it. I am only seeing 3 rotary and 3 linear axes?
[00:58:44] -!- sumpfralle has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
[00:58:57] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop which option will install linuxcnc then?
[00:59:03] <JT-Shop> only if you can get LinuxCNC to install!
[00:59:11] <Jymmm> andypugh: I count 9 axis so far
[00:59:11] <JT-Shop> install
[00:59:12] <FinboySlick> andypugh: There's at least one other linear axe for the second chuck.
[00:59:13] <Tom_itx> the 'install ubuntu' one?
[00:59:24] <JT-Shop> yea, that is what I'm trying now
[00:59:30] <Tom_itx> i see nothing about linuxcnc on the menu
[00:59:30] <andypugh> Sorry, yes. 4 linears
[01:00:03] <FinboySlick> Would chuck actuation count as an axis?
[01:00:12] <Jymmm> no
[01:00:19] <JT-Shop> linuxcnc is just another program so I don't expect to see in on the install menu
[01:00:31] <andypugh> it does make me reprise a question I have had for a whiile. Why do lathes have tool changers rather than one insert that can be presented at a variable angle?
[01:00:56] <JT-Shop> how can you cut gears with just one tool?
[01:01:06] <FinboySlick> andypugh: This machine at uses at least some of that concept.
[01:01:34] <andypugh> JT-Shop: I don't understand the question?
[01:01:37] <FinboySlick> JT-Shop: if it's durable enough: very slowly.
[01:01:42] <JT-Shop> the install is stuck at the maroon screen of death now
[01:02:07] <JT-Shop> dinner time
[01:02:21] <Tom_itx> i'll try mine
[01:02:29] <Tom_itx> i gotta erase the ssd first
[01:02:36] <FinboySlick> Let's look on ebay for a CTX Gamma 2000 TC.
[01:03:22] <FinboySlick> Ah darn... None that has no reserve, free delivery and 0 bid.
[01:03:38] <Valen> JT-Shop: probably need some vesa options is my guess
[01:04:38] <Jymmm> Da Da Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MFRPGf4JDk&feature=related
[01:04:53] <Jymmm> andypugh: Count the axis on that bad boy!
[01:04:57] <FinboySlick> Jymmm: Bigger model?
[01:05:04] <FinboySlick> Holy crap...
[01:07:05] <Jymmm> even has skunkwork's tool changer =)
[01:08:29] <Jymmm> 0:07 Small, Medium, and OH MY GAWD! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeTUuFnFmVw&NR=1&feature=fvwp
[01:08:37] <Valen> think that part they are making in the first video is actually something?
[01:08:43] <FinboySlick> DMG has 8 customers in 4 countries ;)
[01:09:08] <FinboySlick> Valen: Nah.
[01:09:59] <Valen> kinda a shame
[01:10:11] <Valen> it'd be cool to see id do something lol
[01:10:15] <Valen> see it
[01:10:28] -!- Guthur has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[01:13:39] <FinboySlick> My birthday is coming up, but I'd settle for for the 2000 model if any of you are feeling generous.
[01:13:53] <andypugh> DMG seems to be Gildermeister
[01:13:53] -!- n2diy has quit [Quit: Ex-Chat]
[01:14:22] <Jymmm> Could we put our collective minds together and make one?
[01:14:54] <andypugh> Yes.
[01:15:01] <Tom_itx> did we decide how many axis it has?
[01:15:14] <Jymmm> 9?
[01:15:17] <andypugh> But without a lot of money, it would be rubbish :-)
[01:16:05] <andypugh> It is three rotary and 4 linear, as far as I can see,
[01:16:52] <Tom_itx> wonder how many hours it took to program that part
[01:17:05] <FinboySlick> We ought to start with one of those (hit mute before you have a nervous breakdown). They use EMC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1DCXe9t3UE
[01:17:06] <Jymmm> s/hours/months/
[01:18:34] <andypugh> FinboySlick: Already done by JMK (I think) http://youtu.be/1EYaM4FkASA
[01:19:15] <FinboySlick> andypugh: That one is pretty awesome too.
[01:19:21] <Jymmm> what is that 3D part ???
[01:19:25] <Jymmm> on the screen
[01:19:37] <andypugh> Or on a bigger scale by Stuart Stevenson: http://youtu.be/mxxdq6y8z8M
[01:19:54] <Jymmm> FinboySlick: 9 axis
[01:20:24] <Jymmm> xyzabcuvw
[01:20:32] <FinboySlick> Yeah, the one by Stuart is pretty incredible.
[01:20:45] <Tom_itx> yup
[01:20:59] <Tom_itx> his shop is only a couple miles from me
[01:21:05] <Tom_itx> never been there
[01:21:50] <Jymmm> If YOU were to make and sell a CNC, what would it be?
[01:22:23] <Jymmm> like the PMC? a cnc center? cnc mill? cnc lathe? cnc router? something else?
[01:23:17] <FinboySlick> I honestly don't know. They all have their advantages that I'd miss in one if I just made one.
[01:23:52] <andypugh> Would I have to make a profit?
[01:24:04] <Jymmm> andypugh: some
[01:24:14] <andypugh> A super-tiny 5-axis with piezo motors would be fun
[01:24:24] <FinboySlick> Piezo motors?
[01:24:41] <Jymmm> andypugh: I'm not really talking experimental, but actual production
[01:24:45] <FinboySlick> As in what drives high-end injector valves?
[01:25:06] <Jymmm> NEMA sized motors
[01:25:42] <andypugh> FinboySlick: Sort of.
[01:25:45] <andypugh> http://www.physikinstrumente.com/en/products/micropositioning/multiaxis_stage_selection.php
[01:25:59] <andypugh> 25mm travel, 0.1um precision
[01:26:40] <andypugh> some are friction-drive with two walking fingers plus a measurement system.
[01:26:57] <Jymmm> wth?! I jbwelded two bolts thread to thread together and I was just able to pull them apart after 10 days !!!
[01:29:09] <andypugh> Ooh! This looks expensive. A 40nm hexapod: http://www.physikinstrumente.com/en/products/prdetail.php?sortnr=700881
[01:29:11] <FinboySlick> andypugh: Hmmm, if one could make the teeth small enough, that wobble-gear stepper idea could probably be piezo driven.
[01:31:07] <andypugh> OK, should be asleep. Night all

[01:40:29] <Tom_itx> Ok JT-Shop, after installing from the ubuntu install menu i get no linuxcnc on the menu
[01:40:39] <Tom_itx> just as before
[01:42:24] <r00t4rd3d> but is it there?
[01:42:55] <r00t4rd3d> right click applications, then properties or settings something i forget
[01:43:03] <r00t4rd3d> add program maybe
[01:43:22] <r00t4rd3d> a list should pop up
[01:43:27] <r00t4rd3d> check marks and what not
[01:43:52] <r00t4rd3d> do you see a CNC folder?
[01:46:51] <Tom_itx> usr/bin has no linuxcnc at all
[01:47:58] <Tom_itx> hm2 is in lib/firmware though
[01:48:56] -!- Thetawaves has quit [Quit: This computer has gone to sleep]
[01:49:01] <r00t4rd3d> tom do this from a term , sudo updatedb
[01:49:10] <r00t4rd3d> then locate linuxcnc
[01:51:00] <Tom_itx> �/var/lib/apt/lists/ has a few things
[01:51:19] <r00t4rd3d> thats nothing
[01:51:27] <r00t4rd3d> sudo apt-get clean
[01:51:32] <Tom_itx> �/usr/shar/doc does as well
[01:51:36] <r00t4rd3d> sudo apt-get update
[01:51:53] <r00t4rd3d> sudo apt-get install linuxcbc
[01:51:56] <r00t4rd3d> sudo apt-get install linuxcnc*
[01:52:02] <Tom_itx> i know how to install it, that's not the issue here
[01:52:11] <Tom_itx> the issue is the live cd not installing it
[01:52:39] <Jymmm> lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1piuJzS7H-4&NR=1&feature=endscreen
[01:52:40] <Tom_itx> this was a test to verify it didn't
[01:52:47] <r00t4rd3d> do you have the cd selected as a source?
[01:52:58] <Tom_itx> :/
[01:53:03] <Tom_itx> it booted from the cd
[01:53:14] <r00t4rd3d> that doesnt mean its selected as a source
[01:53:20] <r00t4rd3d> by default it is not
[01:53:34] <Tom_itx> the issue is the live cd should install linuxcnc
[01:53:47] <r00t4rd3d> or boot with it ready
[01:54:20] <r00t4rd3d> does /var/log/dmesg list any errors?
[01:54:33] <Tom_itx> i shut it down
[01:54:43] <Tom_itx> done testing. i'm convinced it didn't install it
[01:55:01] <r00t4rd3d> ubuntu sucks ass
[01:55:34] <r00t4rd3d> built by a pile of inbred retards
[01:56:47] <Tom_itx> not here to judge that, just testing the cd.
[01:56:54] <r00t4rd3d> what version
[01:57:11] <r00t4rd3d> are you sure you got a good burn?
[01:57:20] <Tom_itx> yes
[01:57:22] <Tom_itx> 2.5
[01:57:34] <Tom_itx> verified the checksum
[01:57:34] <r00t4rd3d> no meant of ubuntu
[01:58:01] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop is having the same issue is what prompted me to test this
[01:58:22] <r00t4rd3d> was there an update or something?
[01:58:47] <Tom_itx> ?
[01:58:55] <Tom_itx> there's a new live cd for 2.5 out yes
[01:58:59] * FinboySlick thinks Tom_itx keeps having install problems just because that gets him attention.
[01:59:08] <Tom_itx> :)
[01:59:31] <Tom_itx> FinboySlick, my install works fine
[02:00:14] <r00t4rd3d> http://www.linuxcnc.org/images/stories/screen_thumb.png
[02:00:22] <r00t4rd3d> whats that blue screen in that image?
[02:00:48] <Tom_itx> not axis
[02:00:51] <Tom_itx> touchy maybe?
[02:01:27] <Tom_itx> one of the alternate interfaces but not sure which one
[02:01:41] <FinboySlick> Tom_itx: I ought to pay attention when I'm trying to be obnoxious :)

[07:15:08] <_abc_> I have the problem that the 10.04 lts does not see its usb keyboard after installation during the grub boot menu stage. This thread is relevant: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/60177
[07:15:12] <_abc_> Is there a fix?
[07:17:12] <_abc_> Also on an old board I tried to install just for show (has no cnc hardware), the rtai system refused to install claiming no APIC was found (configured but not found). Is an APIC essential for RTAI oprtation? Is it safe to add noapic on the kernel command line for RTAI use? (assuming I will read up on the correct syntax first)
[07:21:51] <psha[work]> apic/lapic and friends are documented in the wiki
[07:25:32] <_abc_> Search for noapic in wiki.linuxcnc.org::Search : 0 pages found
[07:25:47] -!- tiago_ [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[07:25:59] <_abc_> but apic is found
[07:29:09] <Valen> _abc_: its usually an issue with bios and keyboard settings
[07:48:58] -!- factor has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[07:57:24] -!- rob_h [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[07:58:34] <_abc_> I fixed the apci problem, imho lapci should be the default in the cli, it seems to work best like that on most machines
[07:59:08] <_abc_> The USB has legacy bios support enabled, and the keyboard (USB) works great in BIOS setup, stops working in the grub menu, and works again in the booted system
[07:59:13] <_abc_> So it is a grub problem
[07:59:29] -!- vladimirek has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[07:59:39] <_abc_> Also when in this grub menu, pressing any key on the keyboard blinks a single led in the keyboard, which signifies the keyboard is in some invalid mode
[07:59:54] <_abc_> (also the keypress has no effect on the computer)
[08:00:12] <_abc_> A more interesting question is, how does one tell axis to ignore homing?
[08:00:34] <_abc_> I tried setting HOME_SEARCH_VEL = 0 acc. wiki article, does not work, and causes more errors
[08:00:51] <_abc_> Specifically this wiki page http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Homing_And_Limit_Switch#No_Switches
[08:01:02] <_abc_> which is plain wrong (the HOME_SEARCH_VEL = 0 part)

[09:14:57] <_abc_> Okay I fixed it. I will put up a mini howto and a test ini file which allows the test program LinuxCNC in 10.04 lts to be run "dry" (without hardware). It was tedious. I do not yet have a wiki account, I might get one to put the updated information there. This concerns first runs, and pc tests, no actual hardware use. It is also needed to test whether a specific pc is okay for use with emc2/linuxcnc/axis.
[09:15:50] <_abc_> One more thing: using the keyboard in grub while in the boot menu requires BIOS legacy USB support enabled, but this causes timing errors in linuxcnc. So the legacy support should be disabled and only enabled when needed. A grub patch to use USB would be MOST welcome.
[09:15:58] <_abc_> I am done for now, will be back later/tomorrow
[09:16:16] -!- micges [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[09:19:03] <_abc_> Just as a quick info, all of the following must be set to allow home switch less test operation: in each axis section, in the .ini file: HOME_SEARCH_VEL=0 HOME_LATCH_VEL=0 USE_INDEX=NO ; also set HOME_IGNORE_LIMITS=YES and set MAX_LIMIT and MIN_LIMIT large and small, to allow the test code to run. Setting IGNORE_LIMITS=YES has no effect and running the test code with this still causes program stop and error flagging (limit exceeded on joint 2). ...
[09:19:09] <_abc_> ... Setting MAX_LIMIT and MIN_LIMIT permits the test code to run 'dry' (and any timing errors which might appear to be seen - that is the purpose of this test!).
[09:19:17] <_abc_> Now I am really done here

[09:44:35] <Loetmichel> ehrm... and what time is it now where you live?
[09:44:44] <Loetmichel> ah
[09:44:51] <sendoushi> 10h46
[09:45:36] <Loetmichel> i see
[09:45:43] <Loetmichel> 6:20 pm or am?
[09:45:46] <sendoushi> pm
[09:46:16] <sendoushi> 6h30 around that
[09:47:27] <Loetmichel> grrr, cant see the logs over the VNC
[09:47:38] <sendoushi> eheh thanks anyway
[09:47:46] <Loetmichel> can it wait some hrs?'til i am at home?
[09:47:49] <sendoushi> still deciding which design i want for the cnc
[09:47:56] <sendoushi> yep :)
[09:48:21] <Loetmichel> i would suggest : a sturdy one ;-)
[09:48:30] <sendoushi> good suggestion eheh
[09:51:39] <Loetmichel> were you the cheapskate from yesterday?
[09:51:55] <sendoushi> cheapskate?
[09:52:04] <sendoushi> second time i heard that term in my life. both here

[10:36:46] <sendoushi> what's happenning with cnc zone?
[10:44:19] <jthornton> commercial overload
[10:44:51] <jdhNC> I turned off skimlinks
[10:47:55] <sendoushi> so... what kind of cnc mills exist in terms of mechanics plans?
[10:48:11] <sendoushi> i've been seeing quite a lot the same design
[10:48:21] <sendoushi> but i'm still wondering whats the best one for me
[10:50:21] <jthornton> vismach or http://axis.unpy.net/etchcnc
[10:50:49] <sendoushi> etchcnc has nothing to do with what i want to do :P
[10:51:15] <jthornton> I thought you said you didn't know what you wanted to do
[10:51:34] <sendoushi> i do i just don't know what to design
[10:51:51] <sendoushi> main objective: guitars
[10:52:32] <awallin> if youre not cutting metal and are on a tight budget then maybe an MDF-framed router style machine would do?
[10:52:46] <awallin> if you could get the MDF parts cnc or laser cut somewhere
[10:52:54] <sendoushi> i could
[10:53:02] <sendoushi> mdf-framed hm
[10:53:32] <sendoushi> and the design?
[10:53:39] <sendoushi> or is that a kind of design?
[10:53:49] <jthornton> you could cobble up one and use it to cut your mdf parts with
[10:54:07] <sendoushi> if i ever cut metal is like ... faceplate for an amp or pedal or something
[10:54:30] <awallin> moving gantry is the common router design I guess. coolant fluid would be a no-no with an mdf frame
[10:55:17] <sendoushi> what about floating / moving table?
[10:55:41] <awallin> moving table requires more space, but is probably stiffer
[10:56:05] <sendoushi> moving gantry ok (dont have much space)
[10:56:08] <awallin> something like this would be minimum budget and OKish for guitarr wood-parts http://www.flickr.com/photos/doublellama/1071494849/
[10:56:10] <sendoushi> now i just need plans :D
[10:57:06] <sendoushi> hm
[10:57:10] <awallin> then you need to decide on slides vs. linear-rails, normal thread-screws vs ballscrews, and steppers vs. servos
[10:57:17] <awallin> performance allways costs more :)
[10:57:27] <jthornton> the wood frame routers are all similar... you just have to decide on how you want to make the rollers and what kind of drive you want
[10:57:48] <sendoushi> already decided that for now tb6560 and nema 23 will be the way
[10:57:59] <sendoushi> later i may or may not upgrade tb6560
[10:58:14] <sendoushi> now... slides vs linear-rails?
[10:58:50] <sendoushi> (still wondering moving table vs moving gantry)
[10:59:25] <jthornton> http://www.sonsivri.to/forum/index.php?topic=33768.0
[11:00:22] <jthornton> have you established the working envelope you require to make a guitar?
[11:00:30] <sendoushi> working envelope?
[11:00:51] <awallin> linear rails look like this. it's what most mid-sized good machines use http://www.ebay.com/itm/1x-pair-of-used-THK-SR15-LM-Guide-Linear-Bearing-Slide-Rail-for-CNC-Milling-Axis-/330748277974?#ht_2228wt_1135
[11:00:53] <jthornton> how big is the biggest part you want to cut
[11:01:00] <sendoushi> i think i'll go with linear-rails since are really more cheaper
[11:01:19] <sendoushi> jthornton: 45 * 34
[11:01:27] <sendoushi> (is the size of the body of my guitar)
[11:02:01] <jthornton> linear rails will make a nice stiff machine even in wood
[11:02:07] <jthornton> mm or inch?
[11:02:17] <sendoushi> awallin: http://buildyourcnc.com/step1.aspx isn't this linear-rail?
[11:02:19] <awallin> cheaper slides look like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/linear-bearing-slide-unit-2-SBR12-200mm-4-SBR12UU-linear-guide-linear-rail-/251079736513?#ht_513wt_1190
[11:02:19] <sendoushi> jthornton: cm
[11:03:00] <awallin> sendoushi: your link shows some home-made rails. THK are HiWin commercial ones would almost certainly be better.
[11:03:05] <jthornton> no that is just some bearings and junk
[11:03:07] <awallin> THK or HiWin
[11:03:24] <jthornton> might as well use drawer slides
[11:03:38] <sendoushi> awallin: still those home-made are easy to me to find. the ones you showed me are US so... really hard and expensive
[11:04:43] <awallin> sendoushi: sure, if your hand-sanding the 3D shapes of your guitarr then 0.2mm or so accuracy is all you need anyway.. but serious hobby cnc-builders aim for 0.05mm or less in alu or steel so that is another world
[11:05:01] <jthornton> that is a good style too but a bit short
[11:05:22] <sendoushi> awallin: for now... 0.2mm is wonderful for me ehe
[11:05:39] <sendoushi> i can hand-sand of course
[11:06:00] <jthornton> if your just wanting to rough out the parts the home made rails are ok but don't expect much and you won't be disappointed much
[11:06:14] <sendoushi> jthornton: i can always upgrade it later
[11:06:21] <sendoushi> since home made rails are cheap
[11:06:27] <sendoushi> i won't be crying my money
[11:07:49] <sendoushi> so getting somewhere... moving gantry is the best for me. home-made rails
[11:08:52] <jthornton> how much Z do you need?
[11:09:11] <sendoushi> what you consider Z?
[11:09:40] <jthornton> Z is the spindle axis
[11:10:01] <sendoushi> spindle?
[11:10:20] <sendoushi> so we have 3 motors
[11:10:24] <sendoushi> one for the gantry
[11:10:31] <sendoushi> other to move inside the gantry
[11:10:35] <sendoushi> and other to move the router
[11:10:38] <sendoushi> which is Z?
[11:10:38] <jthornton> spindle is what you put the cutting bit in
[11:10:52] <jthornton> spindle = router
[11:10:57] <sendoushi> so you want to know the "height"
[11:11:10] <sendoushi> well i dunno... is there much price difference or something?
[11:11:12] <jthornton> no, you want to know the height
[11:11:23] <sendoushi> i would say less than 10 cm
[11:12:39] <jthornton> so 45 x 35 x 10 is the working envelope or largest part you want to mill
[11:12:51] <sendoushi> i guess
[11:13:02] <sendoushi> maybe would be better to say 50 * 40 * 10
[11:13:07] <sendoushi> just in case...
[11:13:23] <sendoushi> well... i still don't know the size of the biggest guitar body which is ES / 335
[11:13:48] <sendoushi> http://uncrate.com/p/2010/02/gibson-1960-es-335td-guitar-xl.jpg this one
[11:14:41] <sendoushi> would i better be using http://www.instructables.com/id/Building-a-drawer-slide-CNC-machine-for-under-200/ or those home-made rails i showed?
[11:14:52] <jthornton> the logical starting point is to define the machine requirements
[11:15:10] <jthornton> only you can answer that question really
[11:15:24] <sendoushi> "The widest part of the body is 16 1/4 inches; the body height from bottom to top of either horn is a hair over 19 inches."
[11:15:41] <sendoushi> searching for the size of that 335
[11:16:44] <jthornton> if you notice the drawer slide machine is cutting foam
[11:17:44] <sendoushi> still searching for measures of the max guitar
[11:17:55] <sendoushi> http://www.guitar.com.au/guitars/electric/gibson/ES-335.html
[11:18:10] <sendoushi> 16.5" wide x 20" long x 1.75" thick
[11:18:33] <sendoushi> i don't know if the neck is bigger
[11:18:59] <Loetmichel> sendoushi: the drawer slides are terrible
[11:19:20] <sendoushi> Loetmichel: i'll use home made rails. easier to find, cheaper and enough
[11:19:25] <Loetmichel> thats not even a CNC DEMONSTRATION not to mentoin something of a "production" machine
[11:19:51] <Loetmichel> sendoushi: if you are fit with wood: try the rails i use:

[11:20:50] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=8884
[11:21:05] <sendoushi> i see
[11:21:13] <jthornton> Loetmichel, nice design
[11:22:26] <sendoushi> Loetmichel: hmmm harder to find that hardware
[11:22:32] <Loetmichel> JT-Shop: its about the eigth iteration, it better be Cheap AND good ;-)
[11:22:50] <Loetmichel> sendoushi: every hardware sore has ground round stock
[11:22:54] <Loetmichel> and ball bearings
[11:22:56] <sendoushi> what?
[11:23:09] <Loetmichel> the rest is just some Drilling/sawing/filing
[11:23:14] <Loetmichel> store
[11:23:38] <sendoushi> do you have any plans or something?
[11:23:41] <jthornton> I like the way you support the rod with the wood backing
[11:23:44] <Loetmichel> the rails are 16mm round bar, precision ground
[11:23:56] <jthornton> sendoushi, you have the photos now
[11:24:03] <Loetmichel> and 4mm ball bearings can be bought for less than a dollar a pice
[11:24:15] <Loetmichel> sendoushi: just between my ears
[11:24:24] <sendoushi> Loetmichel: i dont have the kind of hardware stores you have
[11:24:30] <Loetmichel> never bothered to draw a plan ;-)
[11:24:39] <sendoushi> so sometimes a 4mm ball bearing is hard to find ehehe
[11:25:16] <Loetmichel> sendoushi: so go to the next sports shop and buy 6mm ball bearings fir inliners...
[11:25:25] <Loetmichel> cheap chinese ones are sufficient
[11:25:38] <sendoushi> are those from skates?
[11:25:43] <Loetmichel> yes
[11:25:52] <Loetmichel> skates have 6mm and 8mm types
[11:26:17] <Loetmichel> and the 6mm are also fitting , you just have to redesing the mount.
[11:26:30] <Loetmichel> BTW: that slide is play-free.
[11:27:17] <Loetmichel> its slightly larger than would fit normally inside the rails, so the bolts which hold the bearings ar slightly bet and act as springs
[11:27:24] <Loetmichel> bent
[11:27:25] <archivist> I wonder how long an inverter will last when it is a 1 horse inverter with a 2 horse motor on it :) but at least the mill is running again
[11:28:09] <Loetmichel> archivist: as long as the overcurrent protect is working: forever or 'til warranty ends, whatever comes first ;-)
[11:28:14] <jthornton> I'm guessing if you keep the amp draw down it might run for a while
[11:30:01] <archivist> yes no chip throwing till I get a better inverter
[11:32:01] <sendoushi> ok... now i know the rails, i know the material, the type of router and design... electronics... next step?
[11:32:17] <archivist> start making something
[11:32:30] <sendoushi> archivist: i prefer to make all the list and plans first
[11:32:38] <sendoushi> because most are going to be ordered online
[11:32:45] <sendoushi> and this way i'm cost-wise
[11:33:14] <archivist> try your local scrap yard for bits too
[11:33:14] <jthornton> you just defined the next step
[11:33:59] <sendoushi> there's no local scrap yard that's the thing
[11:34:12] <sendoushi> :s
[11:34:29] <sendoushi> i never knew why but there are not those things in portugal
[11:34:37] <sendoushi> or at least of my knowledge
[11:35:12] <sendoushi> jthornton: what about these "normal thread-screws vs ballscrews, and steppers vs. servos" ?
[11:35:26] <sendoushi> mainly the thread-screws issue
[11:35:40] <sendoushi> the other i guess it's steppers (nema 23)
[11:35:43] <jthornton> Loetmichel, have you considered slotting the top of the bearing mount so you can squeeze a bit on the rail for fine adjustment?
[11:36:17] <jthornton> ballscrews and servos are a bit out of character with a wood framed router
[11:36:33] <sendoushi> thread-scews it is
[11:36:39] <jthornton> I would not use normal "all thread" rod either
[11:36:50] <jthornton> use acme threaded rod
[11:37:45] <sendoushi> jthornton: no ebay :s
[11:38:40] <sendoushi> what about these http://www.ebay.es/sch/i.html?rt=nc&LH_PrefLoc=3&_nkw=threaded%20rod&_fln=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m283 ?
[11:39:35] <archivist> not good for accuracy or wear
[11:40:00] <sendoushi> is there other brand i should look?
[11:40:33] <Loetmichel> JT-Shop: not necessary
[11:40:36] <jthornton> if you have to use all thread rod, what you linked use coupling nuts
[11:40:44] <Loetmichel> at least not with 4mm BB
[11:40:52] <jthornton> ok, just wondering
[11:40:58] <Loetmichel> the bolt which olds the bb will act like a spring
[11:41:13] <Loetmichel> oh, sorry, jthornton was meant
[11:41:18] <jthornton> ah ok
[11:41:20] <sendoushi> ...
[11:41:31] <jthornton> Loetmichel, same fellow actually
[11:41:38] <Loetmichel> ah i see ;-)
[11:41:50] <Loetmichel> one office one workshop i presume?
[11:42:22] <Loetmichel> [13:36] <jthornton> ballscrews and servos are a bit out of character with a wood framed router <- not necessarily
[11:42:39] <sendoushi> so... about the rods...
[11:42:48] <sendoushi> what should i use?
[11:43:00] <sendoushi> i guess that is what i need to decide now
[11:43:37] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=4935 <- thk 20mm ails and 16,mm*4mm ballscrews ;-)
[11:43:42] <Loetmichel> +r
[11:43:44] <sendoushi> what about belt?
[11:44:20] <Loetmichel> sendoushi: belt will lenghten itself and be difficult to gear down the steppers without play
[11:44:27] <sendoushi> ok
[11:44:40] <sendoushi> so... threaded rod
[11:44:49] <Loetmichel> sendoushi: use acme rod!
[11:44:57] <sendoushi> as i said... can't get it :s
[11:45:09] <sendoushi> for that i need an european store
[11:45:45] <Loetmichel> the "normal" threaded rod is 1) to sharp and will eat the nuts in no time and 2) too much TPI so the maschine will be slow
[11:46:07] <sendoushi> it has really to be acme
[11:46:12] <sendoushi> how will i get that... :s
[11:47:13] <jthornton> acme is everywhere
[11:47:19] <Loetmichel> even the 16mm*4mm Ballscrews i had on the big machine were to fine-pitched... at about 4200mm/min was end of G0, because the ballscrews had reached critical RPM and were damn near wwiggeling themself apart
[11:47:23] <sendoushi> is it much expensive?
[11:47:53] <Loetmichel> sendoushi: in germany its called "trapezgewinde"
[11:48:07] <Loetmichel> something like "trapezoidal trhead"
[11:48:08] <sendoushi> are you from germany Loetmichel ?
[11:48:24] <Loetmichel> maybe thats more like the name you will find it in germany
[11:48:24] <sendoushi> acme thread = trapezoidal thread??
[11:48:26] <Loetmichel> yes
[11:48:34] <Loetmichel> s/germany Europe
[11:48:47] <Loetmichel> yes
[11:49:11] <sendoushi> nothing on ebay
[11:49:19] <sendoushi> http://www.ebay.es/sch/i.html?_nkw=trapezgewinde&_sacat=0&LH_PrefLoc=3&_odkw=%22acme%22+rod&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313 just this
[11:50:11] <Loetmichel> hmm, strange
[11:50:33] <Loetmichel> i never bothered to look for it on ebay
[11:50:43] <sendoushi> do you find it in stores?
[11:51:33] <Loetmichel> because i have a shop for tools and screws and so on in my "backyard" which has round ground stock and acme thread in all (metric) variations
[11:51:58] <sendoushi> Loetmichel: this is strange but... would you be kind enough to send me? i pay of course
[11:52:02] <Loetmichel> ... and for budgtt prices: a 2m 10mm*3mm acme bar will cost me less than 10 eur
[11:52:15] <Loetmichel> IIRC
[11:52:20] <sendoushi> hm?
[11:52:24] <Loetmichel> but the nuts are steel and not really cheap
[11:52:54] <sendoushi> i have to find an european store with all
[11:53:03] <sendoushi> and then i can cross-reference with my brother's contacts
[11:53:07] <sendoushi> since he has a metal factory
[11:53:48] <sendoushi> once again i have to have a list of everything of this kind of hardware i need
[11:54:05] <sendoushi> there is no problem with mdf and stuff but this "special" hardware
[11:54:12] <sendoushi> metal hardware eheh
[11:54:12] <Loetmichel> so i made them myself, just made a mould with a short trapezodial core, mixed some PU resin with 20% Talc and done for...

[11:56:00] <Loetmichel> nothing at the moment... i am full with work until judgement day
[11:56:16] <sendoushi> judgement day is when?
[11:56:34] <Loetmichel> look in the bible ;-)
[11:56:37] <sendoushi> lol
[11:57:01] <Loetmichel> amageddon rings a bell?
[11:57:04] <Loetmichel> +r
[11:57:09] <sendoushi> not really
[11:57:13] <Loetmichel> hmmm
[11:57:14] <sendoushi> since i never cared about religion
[11:57:34] <jthornton> Loetmichel, did you mold the "nuts" around some of the acme rod?
[11:57:42] <Loetmichel> me neither, but as being an european i have had SOME religous education
[11:58:05] <Loetmichel> JT-Shop: no, i made myself a short acme rod on the lathe
[11:58:07] <sendoushi> i also have but not the memory to know about it
[11:58:24] <Loetmichel> because the acme rod i am getting is rolled and has a jagged outer corner
[11:58:38] <jthornton> ah ok, what is PU?
[11:58:46] <sendoushi> i really have to get some plans to know better what i need and stuff...

[13:17:09] <chron0> but in general I hack a lot of projects and there often are projects where it's perfectly sane to use old/scrap material to get somewhere but it gets harder all the time :/

[13:21:00] <chron0> I needed some steel plate rests to make a flange for my little 25ccm 300W generator project...

[14:05:50] <Jymmm> I need a clean, burr free 0.030" to 0.035" slot about 1" long in 0.125" thick aluminum and no mill available. Any suggestions?
[14:06:22] <Jymmm> slot can be longer if needed
[14:08:11] <JT-Shop> drill and file
[14:09:09] <Jymmm> 1) Do they have files that thin? 2) Wouldn't that leave rough edges/ serations?
[14:10:15] <cpresser> that could be a job for 'eroding'
[14:10:16] <JT-Shop> depends on your skill at filing
[14:10:43] <cpresser> or: dont create your slot by removing material; rather add two pieces so that they form a slot
[14:11:29] <Jymmm> cpresser: I was pondering that; just not sure how to "adjust" the slot.
[14:11:59] <Jymmm> the two pieces need to be parallel
[14:12:24] <cpresser> the german word for the thing you need is 'lehrenband'. let me search a translation for you...

[14:36:02] <Loetmichel> chron0: hrhr, a little genset project is duie here, too.... but MUCH smaller
[14:36:08] <Loetmichel> i need about 100W
[14:36:20] <Jymmm> I still need to find teflon/fiberglass hookup wire though, can't find it anywhere (locally)
[14:36:29] <Jymmm> Loetmichel: 100W generator?
[14:36:40] <Loetmichel> so i will use a Brushless motor and a 0,99ccm methanol motor... and the whole genset has to be lighter than 300 grams
[14:36:57] <Loetmichel> 'cause it has to fly on a quadrocopter
[14:37:15] <Loetmichel> Jymmm. correct
[14:37:34] <chron0> Loetmichel: ha, lol you want to have that on a quad, interessting approach, that might give great airtime, when you get it to hover :)
[14:37:41] <Jymmm> gas powered RC copter?
[14:38:07] <chron0> my setup goes at about 3kg, but with 4 stroke 25ccm
[14:38:14] <Loetmichel> IF the genset stay lighter than 300 grams it WILL hover with 100W ;-)
[14:38:32] <chron0> also on a torcmann brushless motor in a dynamic y/delta config depending on use case
[14:38:32] <Jymmm> and whats the electricity for?
[14:38:41] <chron0> for the motors of the quad of course
[14:38:52] <Jymmm> then whats the gas motor for?
[14:38:55] <chron0> to get the pid/kalman regulator fast enough to keep it flying :)
[14:39:01] <chron0> to make eletricity
[14:39:09] <Jymmm> no other purpose?
[14:39:34] <chron0> well, create annoying noise maybe, if you're looking for other purposes :)
[14:39:42] <Jymmm> k
[14:39:59] <chron0> thats why I need to build a new muffler... but loetmichel may have better answers, I'm just guessing here
[14:40:05] <Loetmichel> http://www.conrad.de/ce/de/product/224700/ASP-V-MOTOR-1CC/1210010&ref=list
[14:40:48] <chron0> well, that depends on how much meth its going to need and how much the tank + sprit will weigh
[14:40:56] <Loetmichel> i will use this motor, and a 250W brishless with a set of fast supressor diodes over the bodydiodes of the ESC mosfets
[14:41:10] <Loetmichel> which act then as a 3 phase rectifier
[14:41:25] <Loetmichel> and a small 3s900mAh lipo for buffering
[14:41:38] <chron0> hmmm, you will use the esc controller as a rectifier?
[14:41:46] <Loetmichel> more or less
[14:41:50] <chron0> afaik the only have two inputs
[14:41:55] <Loetmichel> the esc controller to start the engine
[14:42:09] <Loetmichel> and the "bodydiodes" act as a rectifier
[14:42:14] <Loetmichel> but are too slow
[14:42:18] <chron0> ah, you want to use the brusheless motor as a starter and a generator combined?
[14:42:20] <Loetmichel> BTDT
[14:42:37] <Loetmichel> it'll be a "startgenerator" in this config
[14:42:50] <chron0> yeah, go for good mosfets ones, otherwise you'll loose so much in the v drop
[14:43:13] <chron0> i'm currently simulating a 3-phase active synchro rectifier with mosfets to get better results with less los
[14:43:15] <Loetmichel> no, even the good escs have crappy body diodes
[14:43:31] <Loetmichel> tehy are a byproduct so no specs given
[14:44:27] <Loetmichel> but if you set fast recovery schottky diodes in parallel to every body diode you get a nice and nearly lossless rectifier
[14:44:30] <Loetmichel> three phase
[14:44:36] <chron0> there were some issues on the net regarding the dual use, and many people feared that a standard bl motor will not have enough torque/precision in the slow rpms needed to start the engine... I'm really looking forward to see your results
[14:44:49] <Loetmichel> done that already for a e-bike
[14:45:18] <Loetmichel> chron0: the engine has less than a ccm
[14:45:39] <Loetmichel> it will start HAPPILY witrh a 250W brisless with low rpm/V
[14:45:43] <Loetmichel> brushless
[14:46:38] <Loetmichel> but having some 1,6ccm engines here i know: they go throgh the expensive fuel like crazy
[14:46:42] <chron0> so I can basically take "any" ESC, add some fast schottkys to the body diodes and will have a start controller / more or less active rectivier in one piece?
[14:46:42] <chron0> is that the break energy conversion feature which makes that possible?
[14:46:42] <chron0> brake
[14:47:04] <Loetmichel> i've used it as such
[14:47:16] <Loetmichel> but with a modified firmware in the controllers Avr
[14:48:20] <Loetmichel> this particual project is a bet: to be able to create a gernator with enough watts to hover and not weighting more than a 5Ah 3S lipo ;)
[14:48:34] <Loetmichel> AND have mor power stored in the fuel than the lipo
[14:49:10] <Loetmichel> a friend say: impossibel, i say: "ill try!
[14:49:19] <Loetmichel> impossible
[14:54:11] <chron0> please, by all means, go bust that myth and if you do, please document it somewhere online, so that other can pick it up
[14:54:11] <chron0> than we might have our own army of flying drones, to be tasked with whatever purpose we deem worthy, muahahaha :)
[15:01:56] <Jymmm> Loetmichel: If you have a MUCH longer run time using fuel than a battery, I don't think weight is much of an issue

[17:37:29] <_abc__> Okay when I run axis+emc2 i get the time overrun warning and see dmesg. There is indeed a small overrun, but smaller than my BASE_PERIOD. Running the latency test shows 0 overruns. Do I treat this as a warning? Is there a way to make it not come up?

[17:39:38] <skunkworks> increase your base period?
[17:39:39] <andypugh> It would be nice to be able to keep the over-run notification on, but by default you only get one warning.
[17:40:10] <andypugh> So you don't know if it is perhaps an init-time one-off, or is actualy happening frequently.
[17:40:31] <andypugh> One option is just to ignore it and see if good parts come out the end..

[19:53:46] <mrsun> archivist, but like 100 degrees C cant be that bad for the alu can it? :)
[19:54:24] <archivist> will it expand enough at 100
[19:54:41] <mrsun> do not know =)
[19:55:04] <mrsun> never shrinkfitted anything =)

[20:06:28] <archivist> make a taper lock bush then you can get it off easily later
[20:07:26] <mrsun> will be a huge taperlock .. its for a step pulley ... 4 steps
[20:08:13] <archivist> two smaller ones each end
[20:08:28] <mrsun> and feels like taperlocks has an inherant instability built in if not done perfectly ... like having a dividing head to space the bolts etc
[20:08:55] <mrsun> and ive got no four jaw chuck so hard to turn the pulley over to do the other side
[20:08:58] <archivist> make sure you make them self extract
[20:10:12] <anonimasu> tho, taperlocks are self centering..
[20:10:18] <anonimasu> if you do them right
[20:10:31] <mrsun> yes ... but when making them right i need the tools to make them right :P
[20:10:45] <mrsun> and i do not have that, so i want to make the pulley in one setup

[20:27:58] <mrsun> i guess i need to take it off and realy measure the hell out of it

[20:37:26] <syyl> i remember back to my aprenticeship
[20:37:41] <syyl> as the boss showed me how to drill a 40mm hole
[20:37:57] <syyl> without pre drilling a smaller hole :D
[20:38:10] <syyl> i was just like ":O"
[20:38:10] <mrsun> not to good :P
[20:38:19] <syyl> na, its no problem
[20:38:33] <syyl> heavy machine and go fot it
[20:38:39] <mrsun> as you got very little cutting capability at the center of the drill it is :P
[20:38:45] <mrsun> atleast in my world
[20:38:49] <syyl> yeah
[20:38:54] <mrsun> alot of frictional heat :P
[20:38:56] <syyl> but you can thin out the centre of a drill

[21:11:36] <Jymmm> Well, there's a loophole that the ATF permits, but only on rifled bores. If it's a smooth bore, it's regulated.
[21:12:47] <syyl> in german weapon law, theres also an interesingt loophole
[21:13:02] <syyl> a gatling gun is not covered as a automatic weapon

[21:14:29] <Jymmm> but you STILL have to keep track of your ammo
[21:14:38] <syyl> not realy
[21:15:14] <syyl> for example, if i buy the ammo at the gun range
[21:15:18] <syyl> no one keeps track
[21:15:35] <Jymmm> the dealers have to submt ammo sales annually
[21:16:23] <syyl> thats for sure
[21:16:29] <Jymmm> Sad that I'm actually looking at firerm laws in other countries =)
[21:16:36] <syyl> ;)
[21:16:45] <syyl> i dont bother with it
[21:16:52] <Jymmm> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPrnyc03C2Q
[21:16:54] <syyl> as when i want to go shooting
[21:16:59] <syyl> i lend the gun at the range
[21:17:06] <Jymmm> borrow?
[21:17:17] <syyl> uhm yes
[21:17:22] <syyl> thats the right word, sry :D
[21:17:27] <Jymmm> np
[21:18:30] <syyl> they dont take a fee on the gun, but you have to buy the ammo there
[21:18:40] <syyl> and its a bit more expensive than in a normal shop
[21:19:27] <Jymmm> Yeah, same here when you rent a gun at the range. They want you to use their ammo.
[21:20:15] <syyl> i think its ok, as you dont have to bother with the gun afterwards, like cleaning
[21:20:56] <Jymmm> Well, I have ammo for firearms that I don't even own =)
[21:21:01] <syyl> :D
[21:24:52] <andypugh> This was a bit wierd. http://youtu.be/misu8O_ufpk
[21:31:25] <JT-Shop> crap, I'm back to "File not open" when I try to call a sub from the mdi ...
[21:34:30] <_abc_> Jymmm: you are suspect of being a terrorist aide :)
[21:34:41] <Jymmm> ?
[21:34:45] <_abc_> I think that they consider all freenode users terrorists until proven otherwise
[21:35:04] <Jymmm> _abc_: what are you taking about?
[21:35:17] <_abc_> Does anyone *else* run his linuxcnc mill pc through ssh tunnelled X11 as I just did? :)
[21:35:24] <_abc_> Jymmm: it was a bad joke, and sarcasm
[21:35:52] <Jymmm> _abc_: I understand that, but I was wondering where the terrorist part comes into the joke?
[21:36:12] <_abc_> Jymmm: it comes from reading a lot of DHS foot@mouth stories. Note: I am in Europe.
[21:36:28] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: is more of a terrorist than me, he built a BIG ASS GUN =)
[21:36:28] <_abc_> It also comes from reading theregister.co.uk
[21:36:59] <_abc_> Hush don't tell anyone that the tube drills are hard enough to be used as gun barrells out of the factory door
[21:37:14] <_abc_> Next you'll need a license to buy them
[21:37:38] <Jymmm> _abc_: but are they rifle bored is the question =)
[21:37:57] <Jymmm> If not, how do you get them to be =)
[21:38:43] <_abc_> They are not rifle bored so they make perfect *mortar* tubes. Heh.
[21:38:46] <_abc_> Think outside the box.
[21:39:02] <syyl> or a shotgun barrel
[21:39:20] <Jymmm> _abc_: I'm think more like this, the insert... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPrnyc03C2Q
[21:39:41] <_abc_> Anyway I don't deal with such things normally so, again, does anyone run his/her mill (noisy etc) remotely using ssh -f ... ?
[21:39:57] <_abc_> I just did and the experience is good, the gui runs on the remote machine and is much faster than normal
[21:39:58] <Jymmm> _abc_: But to LEGALLY use flare gun + insert, the barrel has to be rifle bored.
[21:40:05] <_abc_> Well half of it runs on the remote machine...
[21:40:12] <_abc_> Jymmm: really?

[21:40:59] * _abc_ did not army service - in several countries :/
[21:41:05] <Jymmm> _abc_: flare gun barrels are, but the .22lr INSERT isn't for legal purposes http://www.kennesawcannon.com/images1/batf.pdf

[21:44:09] <_abc_> Hm thanks, maybe some other time.
[21:44:43] <Jymmm> So basically, I want a METAL flare gun, then make/buy inserts for it =)
[21:45:46] <_abc_> Guns are overrated, we live in the era of missiles. They come in every size and shape and make normal tubes somewhat outdated.

[21:47:58] <andypugh> And I thought you were just glad to see me
[21:48:35] <Jymmm> We were deer hunting once, so had high powered rifles with us. BUT... in a clearing we saw two cubs playing, we knew momma was around "somewhere" and got the hell out of there as fast as we could!
[21:48:38] <Jymmm> andypugh: lol
[21:49:20] <Jymmm> Remember kids... Don't mess with Momma!
[21:49:24] <andypugh> Seems wise, apart from anything else I doubt you really want to be killing any bears you don't need to?
[21:50:12] <Jymmm> Yeah, I don't like hunting for sport PERIOD.
[21:50:28] <Jymmm> Food, sure. Never for the sack of sport.
[21:50:31] <Jymmm> sake
[21:50:45] <andypugh> If you don't eat it, I am not sure it is hunting?
[21:51:04] <andypugh> It's more along the lines of recreational killing.
[21:51:09] <Jymmm> andypugh: Well, some have a fucked up view and value of life.
[21:51:54] <Jymmm> andypugh: That is the ONLY reason I don't like cats... they hunt for sport.
[21:52:29] <andypugh> Yes. And they leave unidentifiable body parts where bare feet can find them.
[21:52:56] <Jymmm> But my hatred is not limited to cats, but ANY being that hunts for sport, be it 2 or 4 legged.
[21:52:57] <Gromits> psha: thanks for updating linuxcnc/emc packages but there is still a problem. I will send email to the mailing list...
[21:53:51] <JT-Shop> damm this is frustrating...........
[21:54:02] <Jymmm> andypugh: For all intent and purposes, I actually prefer non-lethal weapons.
[21:55:00] * Jymmm would hand JT-Shop a beer, but he probably has better stuff than I could offer.
[21:55:04] <andypugh> Jymmm: I don't want to worry you, but that opinion pushed to the limit to achieve internal consistency is what made me decide to be vegetarian.
[21:55:34] <andypugh> psha, he not there.
[21:56:26] <Jymmm> andypugh: Well, if I had to kill my own food, I probably would be a vegan 100% of the time. But I suspect so would a majority of the people.
[21:57:06] <Jymmm> andypugh: So far this month, I had a pepperoni pizza. But that's the only meat thus far.
[21:57:40] <andypugh> Indeed. Need new shoes, kill a cow. Though presumably you get used to it, as folk used to have to do exactly that.
[21:58:04] <andypugh> Pepperoni pizza was the hardest thing to say godbye to.
[21:58:14] <Jymmm> andypugh: Oh, hmmm. so do you have/own any leather products then?
[21:59:09] <Jymmm> belt? knife shife? boots? gloves?
[21:59:14] <andypugh> Yes. I have a full set of motorcycle leathers. If I needed to replace them I would buy second-hand. But I hope not to need to. I was carnivorous when I bought them.
[22:00:02] <Jymmm> andypugh: Leather belt is difficult to replace, but leather gloves but be damn near impossible
[22:00:43] <Jymmm> all the synthetic gloves are just crap.
[22:04:33] * JT-Shop gives up for the day and wanders off
[22:05:29] <andypugh> Luckily the boot maker I favour can make Lorica versions if my current ones run out of resole life. http://www.altberg.co.uk/Web/motorcycle.jsp

[23:05:37] <jdhNC> anyone bought any helium lately?
[23:05:51] <andypugh> $54 for a too-thin chink of metal with a hole in it?
[23:06:08] <jdhNC> c'mon, it has 3 holes.
[23:06:51] <jdhNC> I guess 4 if you count the big one.
[23:07:09] <andypugh> Why isn't it twice as high?
[23:07:23] <jdhNC> looks like there would be plenty of room on the router
[23:08:02] <andypugh> Indeed. And it is clamping plastic, more area has to be good.

[23:12:29] <andypugh> I don't undrstand the question
[23:15:01] <r00t4rd3d> was more of a statement
[23:18:11] <jdhNC> it is probably fine for cutting plastic/wood
[23:19:19] <r00t4rd3d> So I ordered a special contractors pencil and aluminum pencil armor. They didnt send me the pencil.
[23:19:28] <jdhNC> all of their other mounts look better than that one,.
[23:20:02] <jdhNC> maybe 'better' isn't the right word.

[23:24:13] <r00t4rd3d> more awesome?
[23:24:16] <andypugh> r00t4rd3d: If you were in the UK I would just suggest you send me some metal and I would make the holes in it. That one just looks liable to lack X-axis stiffness to me.
[23:24:38] <r00t4rd3d> ill give it some viagra
[23:25:20] <r00t4rd3d> i get special offers for the stuff daily
[23:26:14] <andypugh> I will be making something rather like their Hitachi mount tomorrow, for connecting my controller pole to the side of the mill. I anticipate mainly using the lathe.
[23:26:37] <andypugh> r00t4rd3d: Do you have a lathe?
[23:26:47] <r00t4rd3d> im not set in stone on a Bosch Colt yet but i like the price
[23:27:02] <r00t4rd3d> no lathe

[23:27:53] <r00t4rd3d> well i dont want a shitty mount
[23:27:53] <jdhNC> what's a controller pole?
[23:28:03] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop, andypugh, was anything resolved with the live CD install issue?
[23:28:16] <andypugh> It's a pole with a CNC controller on top.
[23:28:16] <Tom_itx> i noticed some chatter in -devel about it
[23:28:43] <r00t4rd3d> why do you mount your controller on a pole?
[23:28:54] <Tom_itx> why not?
[23:29:12] <andypugh> Tom_itx: Yes, you need to either be off the internet, or have less than 4GB RAM installed. Otherwise the liveCD installs a large-memory kernel from the net..
[23:29:42] <andypugh> _Very_ random
[23:29:50] <Tom_itx> i'll try unplugging the cable and doing the install again then just to see
[23:29:59] <andypugh> That would be fun
[23:30:27] <Tom_itx> ?
[23:30:36] <r00t4rd3d> i just did a 2.5 install with 4gig of mem without net access and it worked
[23:30:48] <r00t4rd3d> like a week ago
[23:31:10] <r00t4rd3d> so the no net thing should work
[23:31:50] <r00t4rd3d> i have to manually install my wireless drivers
[23:32:00] <r00t4rd3d> from source
[23:32:04] <r00t4rd3d> fun fun
[23:32:46] <andypugh> r00t4rd3d: This: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/N7Z88ai8cR7012cckm4ihdMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink needs to sit in a convenient place adjacent to this: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/oO2xAcfqpCn7CWRlUOs8ydMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink so my plan is to mount it on top of this: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/jGa3mIgyUThN-t9JniruXtMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink
[23:34:45] <r00t4rd3d> reading that about gave me a seizure
[23:34:50] <Tom_itx> if you do that will it not install network drivers?
[23:35:22] <r00t4rd3d> i have to black list the included one cause ubuntu devs are shitforbrains.
[23:35:50] <Tom_itx> ok here goes nuthin
[23:35:53] <JT-Shop> Tom_itx: yea if you have more than 3.2Gb of ram unplug from the internet before installing from the LiveCD
[23:35:54] <r00t4rd3d> lol
[23:36:37] <Tom_itx> that's a rather silly quirk
