[00:24:27] <Connor> What's a good feed rate, RPM and Depth of cut for Aluminum using .25" dia HSS cutter ?
[00:24:30] <Connor> 2 flute.
[00:24:36] <Connor> no fluid.

[00:26:40] <Tom_itx> how fast is your spindle?
[00:27:11] <Connor> currently can go to 3000rpm, Would like to keep it around 2200 with this motor though.. it's on loan and I don't want to blow it up. :)
[00:27:34] <Connor> Not making any sense from the chip load per tooth shet.
[00:27:36] <Connor> sheet.
[00:27:50] <Tom_itx> how much each tooth cuts every turn
[00:27:59] <Tom_itx> .004" is about average for aluminum
[00:28:11] <Tom_itx> x 2 flute
[00:28:14] <Connor> 6061 ALUM
[00:28:34] <Tom_itx> x rpm
[00:28:36] <Connor> What are they calling Series in this chart ?
[00:28:44] <Tom_itx> divided by surface speed
[00:28:54] <Tom_itx> gives you feed

[00:31:07] -!- sumpfralle1 [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:31:30] <Connor> Umm.. It wants me to be at 4278 RPM and 34.2 IPM on feed rate..
[00:31:43] <Connor> I can't go that fast.. yet.
[00:31:49] <Tom_itx> so lower the rpm
[00:31:51] <Tom_itx> to 2200
[00:32:06] <Tom_itx> about 18 ipm
[00:32:32] <Connor> Okay, So, you can go slow RPM without issue?
[00:33:06] <Tom_itx> you want to maintain the chip load
[00:33:07] -!- sumpfralle has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[00:33:17] <Tom_itx> at what did you figure it? .004"?
[00:33:25] <Connor> yes. .004"
[00:34:15] <Tom_itx> so 2200 x .004 x 2
[00:34:17] <Tom_itx> i think
[00:34:20] <Connor> okay, What about Depth of cut ?
[00:34:32] <Tom_itx> depends on the machine
[00:34:36] <Tom_itx> also width of cut
[00:34:48] <Tom_itx> unless you're cutting the whole cutter on a profile
[00:35:05] <Connor> This is profile cutting.
[00:35:11] <Connor> inside and outside.
[00:35:17] <Tom_itx> start shallow and go from there
[00:35:27] <Tom_itx> see what your machine will do
[00:35:43] <Connor> I'm a little gun shy now.. :(
[00:35:50] <Tom_itx> good
[00:35:52] <Connor> I don't want it to take forever.
[00:35:59] <Connor> to cut out the part either..
[00:36:04] <Tom_itx> carbide works better
[00:36:11] <Tom_itx> with no coolant
[00:36:14] <Connor> Don't have any.
[00:36:16] <Tom_itx> you should use coolant otherwise
[00:36:24] <Connor> just HSS.
[00:36:26] <Tom_itx> use a paintbrush with oil
[00:36:56] <Connor> I did all my mounts dry... but that was manual.
[00:37:08] <Tom_itx> you got dull cutters now too
[00:37:09] <Connor> so slow IPM
[00:37:26] <Connor> Probably.
[00:43:39] <jdh> spray wd40
[00:44:12] <Connor> I'm thinking a DOC of .075"
[00:45:38] <Connor> and lead in moves ?
[00:45:39] -!- Tom_L [Tom_L!~Tl@unaffiliated/toml/x-013812] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:45:49] <Connor> or just plunge?
[00:46:14] <Tom_itx> depends on the cutter
[00:46:28] <Tom_itx> if it's centercutting you can but i generally try to ramp
[00:46:43] <Tom_itx> or come in from the side if possible
[00:47:14] <Connor> http://www.shars.com/products/view/4864/14quot_x_38quot_M42_Cobalt_Two_Flute_Single_End_Mill
[00:48:05] <Connor> okay, It does say Center Cutting in the description.
[00:49:15] <Connor> I have the same type in 1/8" 1/4" 3/8" 1/2" and 3/4'
[00:49:21] -!- FinboySlick [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:49:25] <Connor> 3/4"
[00:50:33] -!- jpk has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
[00:50:39] <Tom_itx> your mill may handle up to maybe 3/8 or 1/2
[00:50:50] <Tom_itx> more than that and it may shake itself off the table
[00:51:03] <Connor> you mean cutter size?
[00:51:15] <Tom_itx> yeah
[00:51:16] <Connor> or plunging with that size ?
[00:52:03] <Connor> I've used the 3/4" for face cutting..
[00:52:26] <Connor> I like using 1/4 and 3/8 mostly though.
[00:54:46] <jdh> I like 1/2

[01:37:42] <Tom_itx> diycnc?
[01:37:52] <Tom_itx> doesn't sound that promising
[01:39:20] <Jymmm> wth?!
[01:39:48] -!- mode/#linuxcnc [-o Jymmm] by Jymmm
[01:40:19] <Tom_itx> jp__ what are you wanting to find out?
[01:40:49] <Tom_itx> maybe your local tool supplier can offer input
[01:41:03] <Tom_itx> ours was always bringing new junk to peddle
[01:42:14] <jp__> trying to setup TLM on a fadal with a fanuc 18i-mb5 the MTB up here has no support and in California the guy was like "here's a manual and fill your boots"
[01:42:47] <Jymmm> L84Supper: Hey, got the batteries today
[01:43:04] <Jymmm> jp__: Ask to speak to a manager
[01:43:16] <Jymmm> or someone else that actually knows.
[01:43:26] <Jymmm> seriously.
[01:44:37] <jp__> tried that route but will try again in the morn.
[01:45:30] <Jymmm> jp__: If that doens't work, then go the other way... From the top down the food chain. That usually resolves issues
[01:45:34] <jp__> fadal no longer sells machines bought by MAG i think
[01:45:52] <Jymmm> that doesn't mean someone doens't know about them
[01:46:44] <Jymmm> L84Supper: Did you get two tips (ipad/mini usb) but nothign to connect them to?

[05:54:38] <Loetmichel> for wood and metals 2 flute are better

[05:57:55] <Loetmichel> from let to right: diamond cut, 2 flute, spiral cut drill head, spiral cut normal fishtail, 2 flute, diamond cit with diamond coating (for carbon), normal diamond cut
[05:58:03] <Loetmichel> all are tungsten carbide
[05:58:47] <Loetmichel> and for engraving and PCBs:

[13:05:20] <jthornton> http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/common/python-interface.html#_tt_linuxcnc_command_tt_methods
[13:05:22] <psha> it's jog command
[13:05:46] <jthornton> so far I've figured out it wants the type of jog first and the axis second
[13:05:47] <psha> that takes axis, mode (stop, incr, cont) speed and len

[13:07:37] <jthornton> ah, ok I was confused looking at the way it is done in emc_interface.py
[13:07:47] <jthornton> self.emccommand.jog(self.emc.JOG_CONTINUOUS, axis, direction * self.jog_velocity)

[13:08:00] <psha> that's right
[13:08:10] <jthornton> so velocity is + for plus movement and - for minus movement?

[14:54:13] <v0idexp> Hi all! People, I need some help with my LinuxCNC configuration... I have a 7i43-4 Mesa card, and I need to configure it for a machine with 3 axes (XYZ) and 2 spindles. All are coming as stepper motors
[14:54:14] -!- pingufan has quit [Quit: Konversation terminated!]
[14:54:34] <v0idexp> I have already configured the XYZ axes and the mesa card drives them properly
[14:54:54] <v0idexp> what I'm trying to do is to make at least 1 spindle work
[14:56:27] <v0idexp> as for now, I'm "debugging" everything with an oscilloscope, and when I try to rotate the spindle from AXIS, it does not produce any valid signal

[15:12:10] <v0idexp> is spindle enabled by unchecking "brake" checkbox?
[15:12:46] <micges> no
[15:12:52] <micges> by pressing F9
[15:12:58] <v0idexp> ok, wait a sec please
[15:13:28] <v0idexp> F9 does nothing
[15:13:36] <micges> try in MDI
[15:13:43] <v0idexp> at least I don't see anything on oscilloscope and within AXIS
[15:13:44] <micges> s100 m3
[15:14:15] <v0idexp> still nothing
[15:15:00] <micges> v0idexp: please also output from terminal 'halcmd show pin' after you enable spindle in Axis
[15:15:38] <v0idexp> you want the output of 'halcmd show pin | grep spindle' after issuing s100 m3 in MDI?
[15:16:17] <micges> yes but without grep cmd
[15:17:04] <v0idexp> ok
[15:17:31] <v0idexp> http://pastebin.com/Kq5T83An
[15:17:32] <v0idexp> that is
[15:19:39] <micges> nope
[15:19:47] <micges> spindle is not enabled by gui
[15:21:14] <v0idexp> what this means? it is not properly configured?
[15:21:41] <micges> run halmeter
[15:21:49] <micges> sleect pin motion.spindle-on
[15:22:21] <micges> and when you press F9 you must have it TRUE
[15:23:33] <micges> http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gui/axis.html#_keyboard_controls
[15:23:40] <v0idexp> it does not change

[15:24:44] <micges> v0idexp: try it on sim configuration
[15:25:15] <v0idexp> basically, guys, i'm trying to do the following. have a stepper drive, want it to rotate in one direction at certain speed until a limit is triggered, and in other situations, making it rotate in opposite direction at different speed until the limit on the other end is triggered. all what is supposed to do is moving a piston
[15:26:59] <micges> it's ok
[15:27:26] <micges> basically you should have TRUE value on that pin to test further
[15:28:12] <micges> if you don't have it after F9 then someting is wrong with config

[15:48:15] <IchGuckLive> outside i like a 1/4 R , Unf1/2-20 inside metric M6
[15:48:21] <Jymmm> those are threaded inserts
[15:48:35] <IchGuckLive> ah let me search for this
[15:49:20] <Jymmm> There are some for plastic, wood, metal, as the exterior threads size/type change for the material they'll be inserted into.
[15:50:11] <Jymmm> or no thread at all, but knuling used for mold inject, and other types of exterior "forms"
[15:50:50] <IchGuckLive> i got lots of AL Profiles garbige to the provider but usefull to me
[15:50:58] <Jymmm> there is also threaded rivets for use in sheet metal

[15:52:34] <IchGuckLive> as you see its not a round hole on the outside
[15:52:40] <Jymmm> and the middle is threaded already?
[15:52:59] <IchGuckLive> middel is no factor
[15:53:10] <IchGuckLive> i want to have the 4 outside holes
[15:53:12] <Jymmm> No, that looks like for a self-threading application; where it makes it's own threads
[15:53:28] <Jymmm> as the material is cut-to-length

[15:54:20] <IchGuckLive> yes

[15:54:34] <Jymmm> ok, so whats the issue?
[15:54:53] <IchGuckLive> size 12 is to low
[15:54:59] <Jymmm> and 13?
[15:55:09] <Jymmm> or 12.5?

[18:18:27] <IchGuckLive> or in black rock city
[18:18:29] <Jymmm> No, Burning Man location
[18:18:41] <IchGuckLive> so dust till dawn O.O
[18:19:14] <andypugh> I think I will go to Geek Camp this weekend.
[18:19:37] <andypugh> (www.emfcamp.org)
[18:19:55] <andypugh> I can always come home if it's rubbish, albeit £100 poorer.

[18:21:00] -!- ve7it [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[18:21:14] <andypugh> I think I would be taking my R1.
[18:21:43] <Jymmm> R1 is what?
[18:21:57] <andypugh> I think the only geekish thing abot that is the Lemo connector on the top yoke for 12V / 5V power.
[18:22:12] <andypugh> YZF-R1
[18:22:34] <Jymmm> Oh, that's ok =)
[18:23:12] <Jymmm> other than being a crotch rocket; I like touring bikes
[18:23:30] <Jymmm> full dress, etc
[18:23:37] <andypugh> Eww no!
[18:24:07] <Jymmm> But I'll do a couple hundred miles on it; try that on a crotch rocket
[18:24:12] <andypugh> The R1 is comfortable for as long as a tank of petrol lasts. (170 miles) I don't see much point in any more.
[18:24:26] -!- Thetawaves [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[18:24:36] <jthornton> yea, gui6 jogs!
[18:24:46] <andypugh> I have done 400 miles in a day on the R1.
[18:25:03] <Jymmm> andypugh: and back in a sling the following day?
[18:25:15] <andypugh> No. Have you ever ridden one?
[18:25:32] <andypugh> The only bit that hurts is your wrists if you don't go fast enough.
[18:25:45] <Jymmm> Not a R1, no. Other crotch rockets, but not comfortably
[18:26:08] <Jymmm> why would your wrists hurt?
[18:26:37] -!- IchGuckLive has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
[18:27:38] <andypugh> About half your body weight is on your wrists. This is good for weight distribution and grip.
[18:27:52] <Jymmm> Ah, ok
[18:29:41] <Jymmm> I got over my need for speed a long time ago, now the first accessory I add is a throttle lock =)
[18:30:10] <andypugh> I live in a country where the road layout was designed by cows. We have corners.
[18:30:51] <Jymmm> hahaha, yeah we have "Hwy 9" for that, hang on...
[18:32:59] <Jymmm> andypugh: Doesn't look like much at a distance, but lots of curves, can hit Hwy 35, or even hit the beach if you like...
http://goo.gl/maps/gjGZ5
[18:33:24] <Jymmm> There are a few hangouts too at the end of your ride.
[18:33:49] <Jymmm> usually 30 to 100 riders on any weekend
[18:33:49] <andypugh> That looks entertaining, yes.
[18:34:00] <andypugh> Eww! I hate bikers :-)
[18:34:11] <Jymmm> lol
[18:34:21] * Guest70203 Is there any possibility to figure out the status of G and M codes from a G-code program? Where those parameters are stored?
[18:34:42] <andypugh> You want G-code introspection?
[18:37:25] * Guest70203 Maybe ;) I want to examine the for instance if inch or mm is set (G20 or G21) and depending on that choose different action...
[18:38:01] <andypugh> Bear with me..
[18:39:46] <andypugh> OK, it isn't in 2.5, but in Master you can use #<_metric> and #<_imperial> for that. More here:

[18:42:38] <andypugh> Anyone (PCW?) know anything about big DC servos?
[18:42:41] <Jymmm> andypugh: Ah. A friend got me started. He wold put on 25K+ a year
[18:43:23] <Jymmm> ^miles
[18:43:38] <andypugh> I do about 10k a year. The R1 has 85,000 miles on it.
[18:43:43] * Guest70203 Many thanks Andy, googling for "G-code introspection" gave me the same...
[18:44:16] <Jymmm> andypugh: WOW, that's a LOT of miles for a bike. rebuilt it a few times?
[18:45:12] <andypugh> No, it still runs sweet as a nut, burns no oil, and laps race tracks as fast as I can.
[18:45:39] <Tom_itx> change oil regular etc will make them live long
[18:45:49] <Tom_itx> just common sense
[18:46:25] <Jymmm> What do they alwasy say, it's not a Harley if it's not pissing (oil) all over the place =)
[18:46:25] <andypugh> It's designed to make 180hp, but the vast majority of the time it is probably making 40hp as I drone along at 80mph
[18:46:25] <Tom_itx> unless there's something inherently wrong with the engine design

[19:05:51] <L84Supper> andypugh, there are several servo drives available, but the 8-30VDC is odd
[19:06:06] <andypugh> 200A is a lot too.
[19:06:17] <andypugh> He as heard that it actually runs on 150V
[19:06:40] <L84Supper> that sounds more like it
[19:07:12] <L84Supper> we use servos that size for extruders and printing equipment
[19:07:42] <L84Supper> paper slitters, winders etc
[19:09:18] <andypugh> This is the spindle motor of a Hardinge lathe

[22:13:41] <jthornton> so the postgui file is not automagiclly run...
[22:24:10] * JT-Shop wonders how the GUI handles the postgui file?
[22:25:46] <andypugh> I think that currently the GUI needs to call/run the Postgui. I think changing that was one of mhaberler's ideas for improvement.
[22:26:34] <mhaberler> currently guis need to look at the inifile POSTGUI_HALFILE setting and run that in the gui
[22:26:47] <JT-Shop> ok, thanks
[22:27:01] <mhaberler> the reason is simply that linuxcnc starts everything and then waits for the gui to finish then shuts down
[22:27:13] <JT-Shop> use the ini reader to search for POSTGUI_SOMETHING
[22:27:19] <mhaberler> right
[22:27:27] <JT-Shop> ok
[22:27:52] <JT-Shop> I think I can ferret that out of Axis or Touchy
[22:28:32] <mhaberler> all GUIs should have a well know halcomp, and linuxcnc should just start the gui in the background, wait for the gui halcomp to appear, then do the POSTGUI stuff, then wait for the gui halcomp to disappeat
[22:29:00] <mhaberler> ii think both touchy and axis understand POSTGUI_HALFILE
[22:29:37] <mhaberler> oj, I see. linuxcnc really needs fixing.. I ran out of steam after our little halcmd success..
[22:29:41] <JT-Shop> I think they do too
[22:30:03] <JT-Shop> I'm still working on the example for the manual...
[22:31:09] <JT-Shop> I was guite happy to get halshow.tcl to work with my GUI so I can see pins and stuff

[22:39:28] <ssi> I bid a lathe job for a guy that I have done some work for in the past, and he passed on my bid because he found a place in mexico that can do it for less than I can buy the metal :/

[23:16:07] <andypugh> English oak seems different from american oak
[23:16:07] <r00t4rd3d> has anyone ever seen a mahogany tree?
[23:16:15] <andypugh> On TV. Huge, and rare
[23:16:16] <r00t4rd3d> better or worse?
[23:16:52] <andypugh> english oak is less straight. More swirliness and pattern.
[23:17:04] <andypugh> But harder to get long, straight, beams.
[23:17:32] <mozmck> american oak? which variety?
[23:17:46] <mozmck> There are a bunch of them.
[23:17:50] <andypugh> Well, yes. it isn't all that simple.
[23:18:37] <andypugh> I like this photo. 500 year old truss and brand-new dividing wall. All oak.
http://www.bodgesoc.org/studs.jpg
[23:19:15] <mozmck> :) kinda like stuff like brazilian rosewood being rare. I've heard from people who lived there that is a common tree.
[23:19:35] <mozmck> nice!
[23:20:17] <ssi> yeah I think for things like rosewood, "rare" is code for "stop cutting them all down for import"
[23:20:39] <andypugh> Took a lot longer than pine and nails. Dressed with an adze, mortice and tenon, and pegged.
[23:21:08] <andypugh> Took a week rather than an hour.

[23:23:20] <mozmck> no, what's the horror? image quality? or large beam cut for doorway?
[23:24:01] <andypugh> Whole truss cut through. Guess what the roofing material is?

[23:26:44] <mozmck> wow!
[23:26:47] <jdh> what holds it in place?
[23:27:10] <mozmck> cut trusses!
[23:27:10] <andypugh> Now does cutting out all the cross-beam and 90% of the principle rafter seem sensible?
[23:28:00] <andypugh> jdh: There is a hole in the top of each one and a wooden peg. They hang from laths.

[23:28:05] <mozmck> I suppose if you're smoking the right stuff it would.
[23:28:34] <andypugh> We cheated, and used aluminium pegs.
[23:29:21] <mozmck> Was the dog much help?
[23:29:29] <andypugh> None at all, oddly.

[23:30:56] <JT-Shop> so you still use tar paper under the lath and stone?

[23:54:44] <Jymmm> thats just ugly whatever it is
[23:56:34] <andypugh> JT-Shop: We actually have 3" of polystyrene, then T&G boarding, then roofing felt, vertical battens, more roofing felt, then the laths.
[23:57:34] <jthornton> wow
[23:57:41] <Jymmm> then the stones on top of the laths?
[23:57:45] <andypugh> Yes
[23:58:00] <andypugh> We built to last.
[23:58:08] <Jymmm> and 50ton doesn't fall in why?
[23:58:59] <Jymmm> so the laths act as a water drain?
