[00:31:45] <FinboySlick> Assuming that there isn't any black magic in my indicator, how would I test if my spindle is somehow crooked? Indicate on a known-straight rod, root to tip on both axis?

[01:53:00] <FinboySlick> Wow... I kept assuming that I was just inexperienced and measuring wrong but the axis of my spindle really isn't perpendicular to my table!
[01:53:15] <FinboySlick> Now I'm really bummed out.
[01:53:23] <FinboySlick> There are no visible adjustments for this.
[01:53:48] <jdh> what is it?
[01:54:13] <FinboySlick> jdh: What do you mean? The mill?
[01:54:19] <jdh> right
[01:54:29] <jdh> you have a mill that is un-tram-able?
[01:55:11] <FinboySlick> I'm hoping not but I'm not seeing anything obvious...
[01:55:28] <jdh> what mill?

[01:55:45] <jdh> wow
[01:56:12] <FinboySlick> I guess I could kind of shim the spindle motor.
[01:56:27] <jdh> it should be adjustable
[01:56:49] <FinboySlick> I guess so. I'm pealing through the manual now to at least see what part goes where.
[01:57:15] <jdh> for that much $$ it should come with detailed tram instructions
[01:59:46] <Connor> jdh Rebore them. Had too..
[01:59:58] <jdh> with a boring bar?
[02:00:03] <Connor> yes.
[02:00:09] <Connor> video coming in just a second.
[02:00:40] <jdh> guess if you just chuck them, you make the bore concentric to the outside?

[02:05:34] <ReadError> is cutting cf pretty similar to g10 ?
[02:05:36] <ReadError> speed wise
[02:05:42] <ReadError> ive never cut it before
[02:05:45] <ReadError> but got a sheet
[02:05:52] <jdh> me either
[02:06:21] <FinboySlick> jdh: It has an assembly diagram... And short of shimming, no visible adjustments.
[02:06:45] <jdh> Fin: is the head moveable at all?
[02:06:51] <FinboySlick> jdh: Now the problem is that I don't know if it's the column itself that isn't perpendicular or just the spindle.
[02:07:04] <jdh> google for mill tramming
[02:07:15] <FinboySlick> jdh: It's on four linear bearing rails.
[02:07:23] <FinboySlick> I mean two rails, four bearings.
[02:07:43] <jdh> don't screw with teh rails :)
[02:08:05] <FinboySlick> No, obviously. There are four bolts to hold the column to the base.
[02:08:14] <FinboySlick> So I can shim that.
[02:08:28] <FinboySlick> But that's a real bitch to adjust.
[02:10:08] <FinboySlick> The spindle looks like it's held by magic.
[02:10:25] <FinboySlick> No screws, no bolts, for all I know they press-fitted it in.
[02:10:32] <jdh> Connor: looks fine to me?
[02:10:52] <jdh> set screws?
[02:11:34] <FinboySlick> jdh: Doesn't look like it.
[02:11:52] <FinboySlick> jdh: I still have to figure out if it's the column or the spindle that isn't straight.

[02:15:44] <Tom_itx> i think if you put an indicator in the spindle and check both sides of Y and both sides of Y it will tell you if it's straight
[02:15:59] <Tom_itx> i think if you put an indicator in the spindle and check both sides of X and both sides of Y it will tell you if it's straight
[02:16:04] <Tom_itx> try that again...
[02:16:05] <FinboySlick> Tom_itx: With a square on the table?
[02:16:26] <Tom_itx> you don't need a square, use the dial indicator against the table
[02:16:37] <Tom_itx> more accurate
[02:16:45] <Tom_itx> provided the table is level
[02:17:40] <FinboySlick> Tom_itx: That tells me the spindle axis isn't perpendicular to the table. But that doesn't tell me whether it's the spindle axis that's not perpendicular to Z or Z that isn't perpendicular to the table.
[02:18:16] <jdh> there are detailed instuctions for that somewhere.
[02:18:17] <Tom_itx> then put a straight, long dowel in the spindle and see if it's square with the table
[02:18:23] <jdh> but, dunno how you move yours.
[02:18:37] <FinboySlick> That second to last 'perpendicular' was supposed to be 'parallel'
[02:18:43] <jdh> square the column to the bed, then the spindle to the column
[02:18:59] <Tom_itx> yeah
[02:19:09] <jdh> or the other way aroudn.
[02:19:10] <Tom_itx> the more accurate the measuring tool the more accurate it will be
[02:19:42] <FinboySlick> That's fine and dandy with adjustments. I have to shim that bastard.

[11:07:22] <Anon2133> Hello, I've just set up a CNC lathe to use a stepper motor to power the spindle. I've edited the .hal file so that I can run the motor, which is controlled via step/dir, using the normal spindle commands however I can't work out how to use it with threading. It appears that I need to put the encoder settings in the .hal file, however clearly I don't have an encoder. Perhaps the step input could be divided by the number of steps per r
[11:10:29] <rob_h> you do need an encoder of sorts on the spindle to thread, as u need a mark pulse once every spindle revolution ie, to denote start of thread position, as well an A & B chanel

[17:16:45] <JT-Shop> thanks
[17:17:45] <JT-Shop> pretty much what I have
[17:20:48] <Tom_itx> i figured as much.. i got it from you :)
[17:22:16] <Tom_itx> i think i changed the res on one of the switches though. my steppers didn't like the coarse one so i cut it down a bit
[17:27:08] <JT-Shop> I'm also getting this error when I jog with the mpg which seems odd
http://imagebin.org/229423
[17:27:56] <Tom_itx> that looks like one for andy or pcw
[17:28:50] <Tom_itx> are you using sserial?
[17:29:52] <pcw_home> 7I77.0.0 is the isolated I/O Power issue?
[17:30:07] <pcw_home> or 5V power maybe
[17:31:40] <JT-Shop> too much draw on the 5v?
[17:31:48] <pcw_home> Maybe
[17:32:08] <JT-Shop> it only happens when I spin the MPG
[17:32:40] <pcw_home> I would suspect the 5V
[17:33:57] <pcw_home> once you have a 7I77 loaded with encoders its likely better to not use the cable power (its only good for about an amp)
[17:34:18] <JT-Shop> ok
[17:34:30] * JT-Shop ponders where to get more 5v from
[17:35:26] <pcw_home> a serial break error is a give-away (that means the serial line was in the wrong state for at least a character time)
[17:38:05] <pcw_home> (Unless you have a misconnect and something on the jogwheel is shorting 5V)
[17:39:08] <JT-Shop> let me double check the connections and it could be a problem with the coil cord from the encoder to the electrical cabinet as I had issues before with loosing the MPG
[17:40:53] <JT-Shop> would that also affect how the axis moves when you click the MPG one click. It thumps instead of moving smoothly
[17:42:50] <pcw_home> Maybe (when things are working you can measure the 5V at TB1 so make sure its OK)

[17:53:42] <JT-Shop> yes
[17:54:21] <pcw_home> losing 24V?
[17:56:49] <JT-Shop> I'll check
[17:57:44] <pcw_home> Getting the serial break means someone lost power even for a very short time

[17:59:24] <JT-Shop> yea and my meter will not show a short time loss
[17:59:36] <JT-Shop> I'll drag the scope out later and check with it
[18:00:44] <pcw_home> I think the 5V is more likely (since 4.6 is marginal anyway) and the 24V would have to drop out for a pretty long time for the regulator to drop below 3.3V on the isolated side

[20:07:20] <FinboySlick> (it's a solidworks addon, like solidcam)
[20:08:07] <Tom_itx> if you like solidworks then you should love it
[20:08:20] <Tom_itx> i know nothing about it
[20:08:38] <Tom_itx> do they have a working demo?
[20:08:39] <L84Supper> FinboySlick, you like Solidworks? I'm probably fastest on it for more simple parts
[20:09:06] <Tom_itx> i think JT-Shop should write a how to on it
[20:09:08] <Tom_itx> :)
[20:09:24] <FinboySlick> L84Supper: Yeah, and pretty handy with it too. I'm not really good at the CAM bits though so HSMWorks is very good for me.
[20:09:39] <jp_> JT-Shop, Is there a counter mode on the mesa
[20:09:46] <Tom_itx> how do you punch a vertical hole thru a surface?
[20:10:32] <L84Supper> FinboySlick, I'm getting better with NX and I tried ProE but never became proficient
[20:10:53] <JT-Shop> jp_: let me look
[20:10:57] <Tom_itx> any of em take a while
[20:11:10] <Tom_itx> you still gotta figure out fixtures and how to cut the parts
[20:13:25] <JT-Shop> jp_: yes the 5i25 has a counter mode
[20:13:43] <jp_> whats the encoder counter mode set to?
[20:14:47] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop do you find the 5i25 harder to work with than the 7i43?
[20:16:39] <jp_> I would think it would be better
[20:16:50] <jp_> I find it much better
[20:17:03] <jp_> Wiring for sure

[20:20:24] <jp_> JT-Shop, Hal looks fin to me just checked it against mine. they look the same
[20:21:14] <FinboySlick> I was asking earlier, but since more people are awake...
[20:22:12] <FinboySlick> Any advice on a good setup measure and adjust perpendicularity on column? I'll be shimming and this thing is heavy as heck so I'd rather not have too many trial and error.
[20:23:39] <JT-Shop> Tom_itx: I have no way of knowing, I don't have a 7i43

[20:29:08] <JT-Shop> FinboySlick: I use a dial indicater on a ground plate in the vise on the BP to tram the head
[20:30:21] <FinboySlick> JT-Shop: My problem is that if I just adjust the head so that it's perpendicular to the table but the column isn't straight, I'm still going to be off.

[20:38:27] <JT-Shop> rotating head like a BP?
[20:39:22] <FinboySlick> JT-Shop: No, all I have is shimming :P I'll have to straighten the column first, then tram to see if the spindle is misaligned.
[20:39:46] <jp_> JT-Shop, What happens when you do a .001 mdi move?
[20:40:18] <JT-Shop> dunno let me try
[20:40:26] <JT-Shop> a G0 move?
[20:40:45] <jp_> G0 or G1 and try at different F's
[20:41:25] <JT-Shop> G0 is smooth
[20:42:00] <jp_> What encoder are you using for the MPG
[20:42:02] <JT-Shop> it's as if the MPG moves are ignoring the acceleration
[20:42:19] <JT-Shop> a typical one like you find on machines
[20:42:35] <jp_> weird

[21:10:34] <jp_> JT-Shop, The only thing i could find different was that i had counter mode set to 1 and the encoder4X mode set to 1
[21:16:59] <JT-Shop> I'll give that a try when I get done fabricating these posts

[22:16:02] <ReadError> anyone here cut carbon fiber before?

[22:26:07] <Skullworks> I outsourced it to a waterjet vendor.
[22:30:09] <L33TG33KG34R> yes, typically what happens is that the epoxy melts when the bit is cutting leaving a frayed edge. a waterjet is the best way to cut carbon fibre or to use flood cooling for the carbon fibre to keep it relatively cold

[22:33:56] <jp_> why does linuxcnc reload the prog when you touch off?
[22:34:16] <jp_> at 400000 lines of code that sucks
[22:34:37] <micges> to mach preview to current gcode
[22:35:08] <micges> match*
[22:35:13] <jp_> ah yeah makes sense
[22:37:12] <jp_> still you would think on touching off it would just redraw the tool rel to the work
[22:37:22] <micges> what version you're using?
[22:38:19] <micges> we managed to speed up program (re)loading by up to 50% in 2.5.0
[22:38:34] <jp_> 2.5
[22:43:33] <jp_> Would be nice to shut that off until you ready to reload

[23:44:47] <r00t4rd3d> oh wait not it
[23:45:54] <r00t4rd3d> err maybe that is it
[23:47:11] <ReadError> i wish there was a "go to origin for x/y"
[23:47:20] <ReadError> then i can center my part and run it
[23:47:53] <JT-Shop> G53
[23:48:06] <Nick001-Shop> I got this ver from buildbot so it can have alot of extraneous stuff in it
[23:48:22] <ReadError> JT-Shop: I can run that and it will go there?
[23:48:40] <ReadError> im talking about if i cut a part
[23:48:44] <ReadError> and am going to cut another
[23:48:55] <JT-Shop> well G53 G0 X0 Y0 will send it to the origin
[23:48:57] <ReadError> i want it to revert back to the exact table position as i touched off before
[23:49:07] <ReadError> since where it ends off might not be where it starts
[23:49:21] <JT-Shop> oh an offset position just G0 X0 Y0

[23:54:59] <JT-Shop> just make the synaptic package manager look for the right package
