[13:39:51] <eric_unterhause1> we have a really high hit count vid about diamond turning
[13:40:09] <eric_unterhause1> high hit count for machining vids that is
[13:40:18] <archivist> count ?
[13:40:27] <cradek> archivist: which one?

[13:45:12] <archivist> or helical gear
[13:45:21] <eric_unterhause1> since no other vids get anyhits, maybe it would be better with sound
[13:45:44] <archivist> but amazing view count for such a crappy vid
[13:46:15] <eric_unterhause1> last week I ordered stuff from sparkfun for my bbb and decided to get steppers for my shapeoko
[13:46:22] <skunkworks_> my highest view count is 12k

[13:47:14] <eric_unterhause1> skunkworks_ way to get your hit count up by 10

[14:12:42] <Loetmichel> ah
[14:13:58] <Valen> there any reason one cant put a plasma cutter head onto a tig welder?
[14:14:58] <Valen> yes, the voltage is too high :-<
[14:15:37] -!- kwallace [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[14:15:47] <toastydeath> plasma cutters need a hf/hv source
[14:15:59] <toastydeath> as well as the lv/hc source
[14:18:03] <Loetmichel> toastydeath: a plasma cutter needs the HF/HF only for starting, nike good Tig welders already have
[14:18:16] <Loetmichel> so i dont see why not, if the voltages/currents fit
[14:18:32] <Valen> sounds like they run around 90 volts or so
[14:18:37] <Valen> tig is more like 20
[14:18:41] <Loetmichel> IIRC there ARE combination tig/mig/mag/ plASMA WELDERST
[14:18:49] <Loetmichel> WHERE YOU CAN CHANGE THE HEAFS
[14:18:57] <Loetmichel> ups.. capsloc
[14:19:07] <Valen> yeah i'm picking one up for a friend tomorrow
[14:19:20] -!- Nick001 has quit []
[14:19:23] <Valen> I was just wondering about sticking a plasma torch on our existing tig
[14:19:28] <Loetmichel> mma also ;-)
[14:19:50] <Loetmichel> may not work because of the regulating enlectronics
[14:20:05] <Loetmichel> but should be possible in prinzipe
[14:20:28] <Valen> I think its down to using air as the working gas
[14:20:41] <Valen> to plasmafy air requires lots more volts than argon
[14:20:56] <archivist> Valen, hmm interesting :)
[14:21:13] <toastydeath> oh that's true, i forgot that most tig welders have hf start
[14:22:27] <Loetmichel> Valen: if you feed the plasma with argon: why not?
[14:22:28] <Valen> hmm this looks like it could do the job http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=2OjEhGHit84#t=111s

[14:22:37] <Valen> argon is spendy
[14:22:45] <Loetmichel> thats right
[14:23:24] <Valen> I have used CO2 to "cut" with a tig torch in the past
[14:25:44] <Loetmichel> thts th reason i used beer gas from the pub suppier for mag welding in my days ;-)
[14:25:52] <Loetmichel> (pure c02)
[14:26:03] <Loetmichel> MUCH cheaper than corgon or argon

[14:44:41] <jdh> JT: no kidding
[14:46:00] <JT-Shop> most of my day tomorrow will be driving across Tennessee
[14:46:13] <jdh> 40 all the way?
[14:46:22] <JT-Shop> and most of the next day will be coming back
[14:46:43] <jdh> I drove home from Nashville yesterday.
[14:46:44] <JT-Shop> come in on 24 then 40
[14:47:38] <jdh> heh, you will miss 1/3 of TN then
[14:48:06] <JT-Shop> I'll make that up in MO, IL, and KY
[14:48:37] <jdh> stick it on a pallet and ship it!
[14:48:43] <JT-Shop> I'm pretty much due north of Memphis
[14:49:17] <jdh> 900 miles from here to memphis on I40 and I'm in the next state.
[14:49:53] <JT-Shop> 668 miles from me to my dest in Matthews NC
[14:50:49] <jdh> geez... that's on the wrong side of charlotte also.
[14:50:53] <jdh> only about 3 hrs from here.
[14:51:15] <JT-Shop> yea, at least I don't have to drive far to my sisters house in Concord for a nap
[14:52:19] <JT-Shop> google map shows me going straight through Charlotte but I'm thinking 485 around the south of Charlotte
[14:52:22] <jdh> there is no good way to get to matthews from anywhere west
[14:54:16] <JT-Shop> what's the least painful way?
[14:55:03] <jdh> fly in to charlotte, rent a vehicle
[14:56:27] <JT-Shop> be hard to haul a trailer back on the plane
[14:56:54] <jdh> 40-26-85 are all interstate. 40-26-US74 is shorter and 74 isn't too bad
[14:57:22] <JT-Shop> it shows me taking 74
[14:57:32] <GammaX-Shop> JT-Shop: what u picking up?
[14:57:35] <jdh> 40-77 is all interstate, but out of the way.
[14:57:39] <JT-Shop> RT622
[14:57:50] <JT-Shop> I'm looking for the fastest route
[14:58:14] <GammaX-Shop> y you hauking it back and not riding it?
[14:58:33] <JT-Shop> is 74 through Charlotte the best route
[14:58:52] <JT-Shop> I'm tossing it in the back of my truck
[14:59:07] -!- kwallace1 [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[14:59:17] <jdh> depends on the time. I'd take 485 south around charlotte
[14:59:30] <JT-Shop> it will be 4pm ish
[14:59:33] <jdh> heh
[14:59:45] <JT-Shop> that didn't sound good
[14:59:50] -!- kwallace has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
[15:00:09] <jdh> charlotte is sprawling and has lots of area traffic
[15:00:47] <jdh> 74 in until you get to 85/485 south then around the outside.
[15:00:58] <JT-Shop> GammaX-Shop: http://www.spyder.brp.com/gears-and-accessories/spyder-trailer
[15:01:19] <JT-Shop> ok, that sounds like a plan
[15:02:01] <GammaX-Shop> y so far?
[15:02:06] <jdh> I guess it is really 85 North when you first hit it until you get to 485
[15:02:28] -!- Bojangle1 [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[15:02:57] <JT-Shop> yea that makes sense cause it goes north out of Charlotte
[15:03:20] <JT-Shop> new old stock 1/2 price and color matches
[15:04:04] <jdh> 74 goes all the way in through charlotte, but there are thousands of stop lights for the 30 miles on either side of charlotte
[15:04:28] <JT-Shop> that would suck in the afternoon I'd bet
[15:05:17] <jdh> it may only be hundreds, but it certainly feels like thousands

[15:06:47] <JT-Shop> I just checked my GPS in the truck and it has me taking 485 so I don't have to putz with that
[15:07:42] <jdh> you can do 74 to 485, or 74 to 85 to 485
[15:10:04] <JT-Shop> I'm guessing it would be better to pick up 85 when 74 crosses it and skip Gastonia

[18:06:49] <JT-Shop> your running argon on your mig???
[18:07:10] <Gigs-> it is an existing setup, but yeah I guess they are
[18:07:23] <JT-Shop> you can't guess
[18:07:32] <Gigs-> well my dad has always called it argon
[18:07:52] <Jymmm> argon, hydrogen, it's all the same
[18:07:55] <JT-Shop> CO-2 or CO2 mix is for mig and Argon is for tig
[18:08:16] <Gigs-> I'm pretty sure it's not CO2
[18:08:22] <Jymmm> nitrogen
[18:08:24] <Jymmm> NO2
[18:08:29] <jdh> migs run on Jet A-1
[18:08:33] <JT-Shop> then it is mixed
[18:08:34] <Gigs-> hehe N2O would be fun
[18:08:48] <Jymmm> jdh: kerosen
[18:08:51] <Jymmm> e
[18:08:56] <Gigs-> I would guess it's not pure argon
[18:09:05] <Gigs-> I can check and make sure
[18:09:29] <Gigs-> I think I'm going to just use the other tank that one of my dad's friends abandoned there, I know he was using it with tig
[18:09:35] <JT-Shop> its usually a mix of argon and co2
[18:09:48] <Gigs-> that will save putting a Y connector on
[18:10:19] <JT-Shop> if it is out of date you won't be able to get it filled without a hydro test
[18:11:56] <Jymmm> tank exchange FTW!!!
[18:12:05] <Gigs-> yeah I don't think any place around here fills inert
[18:12:12] <Gigs-> they are all exchanges
[18:12:42] <Gigs-> the other tank has gas in it anyway
[18:12:53] <Gigs-> I don't remember exactly but I think it was around 2300
[18:13:13] <Jymmm> PSI or Dollars???
[18:13:17] <Gigs-> psi
[18:13:26] <Jymmm> oh ok, just checking =)
[18:13:36] <Gigs-> it is a large tank
[18:13:51] <Jymmm> If it was $2300, I have a bridge for sale, cheap!
[18:13:54] <Gigs-> I sent him an SMS about buying it and he kind of gave me a vague answer like he isn't sure what tank it is
[18:14:02] <Gigs-> I don't know if he even owns it or is renting it
[18:14:09] <jdh> we use He for tig
[18:14:30] <Jymmm> jdh: dont you use He in your scuba stuff too?
[18:14:35] <JT-Shop> I've never seen any tanks above the small tanks that are user owned
[18:14:50] <JT-Shop> the big tanks are at the best a life time lease
[18:14:58] <jdh> yeah, painful paying for it now.
[18:15:07] <Gigs-> well if it's an exchange tank you only sort of own it anyway
[18:15:20] <Gigs-> you just don't pay rent
[18:15:23] <jdh> you can usually rotate customer-owned-cylinders in alos
[18:15:54] <Gigs-> yeah like grill propane work
[18:16:34] <JT-Shop> usually you can't exchange tanks from one dealer to another
[18:16:46] <Jymmm> Heh, I refill my propane tanks. Unless the tank is expired, then exchange it at Lowes super cheap.
[18:16:53] <JT-Shop> nothing like propane tanks
[18:17:27] <Gigs-> if both exchanges accepts customer owned tanks, then why not?
[18:17:36] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: The place I goto will exchange any tank, but I have a 40cf one.
[18:17:47] <JT-Shop> propane?
[18:17:52] <Jymmm> Nitrogen
[18:18:29] <Gigs-> Jymmm: refilling propane does make more sense as long as you get a competent operator
[18:18:36] <JT-Shop> around here who ever you rent the tank from is where you have to take it to be filled
[18:18:52] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: I own my tank.
[18:19:06] <jdh> other gas companies won't let you rotate in a bottle with a different ID on the neck ring
[18:19:15] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: So I just exchange it with whoever is cheapest.
[18:19:36] <Gigs-> Jymmm: my dad tried to get his 100 pound propane tank filled in the summer... I think it tared out at like 40 pounds when done
[18:19:36] <Jymmm> jdh: Yeah, there is no ID on mine.
[18:19:49] -!- maximilian_h1 [[email protected]] has parted #linuxcnc
[18:20:04] <Jymmm> Gigs-: I just have 4x 20lb tanks
[18:20:08] <jdh> I pay $15/year/bottle for tank lease and don't worry about it
[18:20:30] <Jymmm> I pay $17 including tax for exchange
[18:20:56] <Gigs-> sounds like a price fixing racket in you guy's area
[18:21:05] <Gigs-> if you have companies that won't deal with customer owned tanks
[18:21:09] <Jymmm> Gigs-: why's that?
[18:21:13] <Jymmm> oh
[18:21:17] <jdh> mine are 300ft^3 cylinders
[18:21:38] <Gigs-> because a lot of people probably get a tank and then never hardly use it, so the rent makes them the most money long term
[18:21:38] <jdh> I could do customer owned, but I have 8 bottles and I don't want to own them.
[18:21:41] <Jymmm> jdh: Yeah, big tanks are different like JT-Shop said
[18:22:08] <Jymmm> Anything 80cf or less they dont sweat
[18:22:21] <Loetmichel> *hmmm* i think i shoud get a vaccum for the company CNC mill. just wahsed a machine full of socks and knickers... and at hanging it on the line i see silver "snow" spilling out...
[18:22:29] <Loetmichel> (aluminium swarf)
[18:22:31] <Gigs-> how many cf is the 6 foot tall one?
[18:22:45] <jdh> Gigs: depends on the gas, 280-330ft usually
[18:22:54] <Gigs-> Loetmichel: I wear converse and I hate getting chips in my shoe
[18:23:02] <JT-Shop> and the tank, some have thicker walls than others
[18:23:44] <Jymmm> New meaning to "bottle rocket" =)
[18:23:47] <Gigs-> well the tank in question is that big, so he probably is renting it
[18:23:48] <JT-Shop> I recovered a couple of leased tanks for my supplier and the o2 tank weighed a ton
[18:24:08] <Gigs-> I'll just use all his argon
[18:24:14] <JT-Shop> LOL
[18:24:15] <jdh> my o2 bottles are physicaly identical to my He ones.
[18:24:17] <Gigs-> and when it runs out buy a little tank
[18:24:28] <jdh> except for the paint
[18:24:28] <Jymmm> If the tank has a screw on cap, it's usually not customer owned.
[18:24:38] <Loetmichel> arent o2 BIG tanks made of bundles of smaller "bottles"?
[18:24:45] <Gigs-> I've seen little tanks with screw on caps
[18:24:56] <Jymmm> Gigs-: Ah, I never have.
[18:25:26] <jdh> Loetmichel: maybe for big ones, but these are just normal DOT3A cylinders
[18:26:02] <Gigs-> heh did you know you could buy full tanks online? http://store.cyberweld.com/shielgascyl8.html?utm_medium=shoppingengine&utm_source=shopzilla#pdItemDataTabs
[18:26:04] <jdh> some dive shops I use in florida get liquid oxygen
[18:26:19] <Gigs-> I wonder if the shipping is another $200 though heh
[18:26:41] <jdh> Free standard ground shipping within contiguous U.S.
[18:26:52] <Loetmichel> jdh: JT-Shop said his tank "weighted a ton" so i had a bundle of smaller tanks in mind
[18:26:59] <Gigs-> hmm well they might make you pay hazmat fee though
[18:27:16] <Jymmm> Gigs-: inert gases
[18:27:25] <Gigs-> compressed gasses
[18:27:29] <Jymmm> true
[18:27:34] <Loetmichel> because at 200++ bar of pressure a big tank would simply burst regardless of wall thickness
[18:27:37] <Jymmm> they just say signature required
[18:27:46] <JT-Shop> Loetmichel: they told me those tanks had thicker walls than the new onew
[18:27:48] <JT-Shop> s
[18:28:03] <Jymmm> Loetmichel: much like your knickers if you keep filling them with swarf!
[18:28:11] <Loetmichel> hrhr

[18:29:18] <Loetmichel> thet gets everywhere
[18:29:21] <jdh> I fill one of my rental helium tanks to 3200psi with air. Hope they don't mind.
[18:30:53] <Jymmm> Loetmichel: justify it all you want, still sounds like some kind of kinky fetish to me. Two Mills, One Guy
[18:32:01] <Loetmichel> Jymmm: mill...
[18:32:05] <Loetmichel> dont think so ...

[18:32:37] <Loetmichel> more like a glorified router
[18:33:03] <Loetmichel> and thats the problem: no housing but very small swarf
[18:33:21] <Jymmm> First there's JT-Shop and his custom sex toys, now Loetmichel with a crotch full of swarf. What's next?
[18:33:25] <Loetmichel> jdh: depends on your definition of "big" ;-)
[18:34:00] <jdh> 'normal' size storage bottles
[18:34:22] <jdh> 8500l or so
[18:35:02] <Loetmichel> jdh: 8500liters UNPRESSURIZED?
[18:35:14] <jdh> heh, no.
[18:35:18] <jdh> that woudl be *big*
[18:35:18] <Loetmichel> or 8500 liters volume inside the "bottle" ?
[18:35:24] <jdh> 8500 free liters
[18:35:37] <Loetmichel> ah, yes, thats what i meant ;-)
[18:35:51] <Loetmichel> so about 10 liters volume of the "bottle"
[18:36:15] <jdh> more like 40
[18:37:06] <jdh> we don't use sane measurements here though.
[18:38:04] <jdh> 40l cylinder, 200 bar... makes way too much sense. Instead, we use number of free cubic feet at rated pressure.

[18:44:41] <Loetmichel> one time the relief walve had hung...
[18:44:51] <Jymmm> Gigs-: Lil pricy though
[18:45:15] <Gigs-> yeah it is
[18:45:27] <Loetmichel> result: one third of an air tank (bottom) on display like a banana and a totally destroyed copressor station
[18:45:28] <Gigs-> a 20 pound tank on the back of the lawn mower would give it more traction anyway
[18:45:37] <Jymmm> Gigs-: I just refill the disposable 1# tanks =)
[18:45:54] <Loetmichel> and the peak indicator an the manometer stodd at 420 bar
[18:45:57] <Gigs-> I tried that once, it's annoying without a pump[
[18:46:13] <Jymmm> Gigs-: not at all, pretty easy
[18:46:46] <Gigs-> I couldn't get it to fill at a reasonable rate, even with a warm bath on the big tank and ice on the little one
[18:47:11] <Gigs-> how did you do it? Could you get a siphon started somehow?
[18:48:34] <Jymmm> Gigs-: Toss the 1# tanks in the freezer over night (just to be extra sure), Toss the 20# tank in the sun. I wieght the 1# tanks before and after to get an idea. Then fill is done in about 4 minutes.
[18:48:54] <Gigs-> hmm ok will have to try again sometime
[18:49:09] <Jymmm> Gigs-: Can't fill it on a cold day.
[18:49:43] <Jymmm> Gigs-: BE SURE TO CHECK THE TANKS FOR LEAKS!!!!
[18:50:13] <Jymmm> those shrader valves are notorious for not reseating properly.

[18:52:37] <Jymmm> Gigs-: lol, no idea. They are just for my heater if the gf needs to use it.
[18:52:53] <Gigs-> well next time you have one with a leaky valve, cut the last 3 inches off
[18:53:00] <Gigs-> it's a pretty useful heavy duty bowl
[18:53:06] <Jymmm> cool
[18:53:21] <Jymmm> I have one on the torch marked "leaks" right now.
[18:54:07] <Gigs-> you can unscrew the valve with a tire tool to get it aired out before cutting
[18:54:42] <Jymmm> Yeah, angle grinder + propane tank dont sound like a good combination =)

[19:02:15] <JT-Shop> you said they are worth 100-150 each that is way too much for me, I'd rather purchace new so I know what I'm getting
[19:06:47] <GammaX-Shop> they are like new... gar I think 630m? 2 of them are 1x6x3 and I think other one is 1x6x1
[19:07:01] <GammaX-Shop> I also believe these are 4 flute ones.

[20:18:03] <willburrrr2003> http://linuxcnc.org/docs/LinuxCNC_Getting_Started.pdf is the pdf with the 3 instances. The references are in figures 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3 , I am guessing that is why they got missed, as searching the docs wouldn't find them in the pics on in the text instead

[20:53:01] <Tom_itx> do you have any place there that does sharpening?
[20:53:11] <PetefromTn> Never bought from them but I hear a lot of good things. I believe maritool also now has single point threadmills.
[20:53:39] <JT-Shop> I get all my tool holders from Maritool
[20:54:40] <PetefromTn> I've bought lots of cutters from him and now intend to try to buy future toolholders cat40 from him as well. Good quality so far.
[20:56:00] <Tom_itx> andypugh, i wonder if they twisted any when he cut the profiles

[20:56:50] <andypugh> Tom_itx: He is a total perfectionist. They wouldn't have dared :-)
[20:57:38] <Tom_itx> he put some sort of bushing in when he bolted them down to profile
[20:57:50] <andypugh> I don't think he has touched the engine for a while, he has caught LinuxCNC retrofit-itis.

[21:15:17] <PetefromTn> Well I milled my first paying job on the Cincinnati today...
[21:15:38] <PetefromTn> Nothing earth shattering LOL
[21:16:07] <JT-Shop> even if you made a dollar it will be a good one
[21:16:17] <PetefromTn> Just had to mill three slots in an oval shape on both sides of six pieces of rectangular steel tube.
[21:16:36] <PetefromTn> Yeah buddy..
[21:17:16] <PetefromTn> I programmed the part as just the three slots and cut each tube one side at a time.
[21:17:44] <PetefromTn> Machine did a nice job and the cuts look very good. Especially for hrs
[21:18:18] <lomach> Thats great Pete. No stopping you now
[21:18:27] <PetefromTn> Hey lee!!
[21:18:44] <toastydeath> PetefromTn, pic of machine?
[21:18:58] <PetefromTn> Yeah now I just need to find some more paying work for it..
[21:19:01] <toastydeath> I've always liked cinci machines, they've been around so long as a mfg that they made some real weird shit
[21:20:20] <PetefromTn> Yeah it is a decent little mill. Has been kind of challenging to retrofit since I have never done a commercial machine but so far so good.
[21:20:45] <lomach> Im sure more work will come soon.
[21:22:53] <PetefromTn> Sure hope so. Still need to design and machine an encoder mount and try to get spindle feedback working.
[21:23:37] <andypugh> willburrrr2003: Search the LinuxCNC for "crapahalic" "Eagle to HAL" and "graphviz"
[21:23:57] <lomach> Ive tapped about 400 off 1/8bsp holes in the last two days so all good with mine so far

[21:37:43] <PetefromTn> Well I would insert the program
[21:38:54] <PetefromTn> And then put the first tool number 1 in the spindle and hit cycle start. The too should have already been in there and I touched off the work offset earlier for this part.
[21:39:27] <PetefromTn> Then when I hit CS the machine goes up to toolchange height...
[21:39:56] <PetefromTn> Which is how I programmed it in my post processor(no toolchanger yet)
[21:40:12] <willburrrr2003> JT-Shop, under whuch topic on your pages I am not seeing it there?
[21:40:21] <PetefromTn> The head goes up and stops at z zero machine coordinate
[21:40:45] <JT-Shop> http://gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/hal/or2.html
[21:40:47] <PetefromTn> Then it says the joint 2 will exceed minimum limits..
[21:41:25] <PetefromTn> I have to then bring the head back down and touch off even tho I already did
[21:41:27] <lomach> Pete do you have g49 in your post at the start. Think i had the same problem
[21:41:46] <lomach> It cancels tool length offset
[21:41:50] <JT-Shop> PetefromTn: are you using Tn M6 G43 for your tool change?
[21:42:21] <PetefromTn> Then it seems to have the right offset and the dtg looks right so I proceed with caution until I know it is doing what I expected.
[21:43:06] <PetefromTn> Lomach gotta look at it...not sure.
[21:43:39] <PetefromTn> Jt shop....in the program?

[21:50:29] <PetefromTn> thats my TLO callout from sheetcam.
[21:50:29] <lomach> From memory I had to put g49 on the first line of any program. Just once though
[21:51:38] <PetefromTn> So you cancel any previous TLO and THEN the code calls the first tool?

[21:53:27] <lomach> Yes thats right. I dont have any programs with me but will email you a proven one tomorrow
[21:53:35] <PetefromTn> okay thanks..
[21:54:27] <PetefromTn> Yeah it is kinda frustrating because I feel like I should just be able to Home the machine, load a program, and select my G54 offset and hit go without having to pick up tools twice.
[21:54:31] <lomach> Pete when you go to machine zero do you use g0 g53 z0 or something else
[21:54:44] <PetefromTn> Yeah G53 Go Zo
[21:55:09] <PetefromTn> just posted the lines of code a minute ago.
[21:55:18] <lomach> Im confident adding the g49 will sort it out
[21:56:21] <PetefromTn> Whats the issue with it, seems like If I do an MDI and select my first tool, touch off with it and then run the program it should run up to toolchange position and then down and start the programmed cuts.
[21:56:36] <PetefromTn> The g49 not sure what it would do really.
[21:57:31] <lomach> To be honest I cant answer that but i do remember having the same problem.
[21:57:44] <PetefromTn> okay I'll take your word for it.
[21:58:01] <PetefromTn> Any other words of wisdom for the machine you care to share LOL?
[22:00:12] <lomach> Nothing off the top of my head. Its been a long learning curve though
[22:00:22] <PetefromTn> understand that LOL
[22:01:01] <PetefromTn> RIght now I am just pleased that the machine made a program run a dozen times without any issues. That was nice..
[22:01:25] <PetefromTn> I am gonna design some more parts and make some test runs with the machine and see how she does on something more complex.
[22:03:10] <lomach> Its so nice seeing all your hard work start to pay off.

[22:58:10] <andypugh> PetefromTn: I am a bit puzzled, because I definitely don't need to re-touch-off my machine. If it is homed, it is homed.
[22:58:47] <PetefromTn> andypugh Agreed I am not homing the machine again, just picking up the tool..
[23:00:22] <andypugh> I put the G43 on the same line as the T1 M6, and I don't bother with the H.
[23:00:41] <andypugh> (by default it uses the offsets for T)
[23:01:04] <PetefromTn> andypugh Yeah that is just the way the EMC post in Sheetcam does it...
[23:01:39] <andypugh> Ah, but, you do need to touch-off the "reference" tool into the G54, then the other tools into the tool table.
[23:02:25] <Tom_itx> touch off to workpiecd
[23:02:26] <Tom_itx> e
[23:02:38] <Tom_itx> make sure you select that
[23:02:39] <andypugh> So, one tool is defined as zero-length (it makes a lot of sense for this to be a probe) and then the tool-table entries are the offsets from that reference.
[23:02:53] <PetefromTn> LIke I said my reference tool is currently the first tool and it is already in the table.
[23:03:39] <PetefromTn> Tom_itx Ya know I am not sure if I did that...
[23:03:50] <Tom_itx> it matters
[23:04:10] <PetefromTn> Thats in the drop down menu not just the touch off button in the manual tab right.?
[23:04:38] <PetefromTn> I mean the top menu up there with file etc..
[23:04:44] <andypugh> I am talking about in the Axis interface, where the choices are to touch-off G54 (etc) or T. (in practice, behind the scenes, this is the difference between a G10 L10 and a G10 L20.
[23:05:15] <Tom_itx> PetefromTn, yes
[23:05:42] <andypugh> But if the tool is the reference tool, then just the one touch-off should be needed (but check that the tool has zero length in the tool table).
[23:06:12] <PetefromTn> When I set the G54 offsets for the vise I was in manual mode and hit touch off and the popup gave me the option to set a numeric offset and said Z axis and G54 so I thought I was okay.
[23:06:49] <Tom_itx> i got screwed up once when i didn't have that option set
[23:07:56] <PetefromTn> andypugh I thought I could just use the actual tool to set the work coordinate and have it zero for that and use the TLO for the same tool no?
[23:08:08] <PetefromTn> Either way it worked properly once I did it the second time.
[23:08:46] <PetefromTn> Not really sure why it does that but like I said maybe I need to select touch off to workpiece like Tom said.
[23:09:22] <PetefromTn> Same thing happened when I made that cat40 fixture too.
[23:09:39] <PetefromTn> I am gonna try to insert that G49 into my post and see if that fixes it.
[23:12:19] <Tom_itx> i do T1 M6 G43 and move to where i want the G54 x y z zero set with "tool touchoff to workpiece" selected and set the fixture offsets
[23:12:23] <andypugh> There shouldn't be any need for G49. I don't even know what it does, so clearly have never needed it.
[23:12:32] <Tom_itx> and set the rest of the tools to that z height
[23:12:45] <Tom_itx> or touchoff to the same z point
[23:12:53] <Tom_itx> heh
[23:13:15] <andypugh> This is my process (largelky borrowed from JT).
[23:13:38] <PetefromTn> understand that my tool table is NOT what it will be. These first cuts are more tests than anything.
[23:13:40] -!- tmcw has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[23:13:56] <PetefromTn> I intend to get a holder for my edgefinder and make that my tool 1 touch off tool.
[23:14:02] <Tom_itx> G49 - cancel tool length compensation
[23:14:11] <Tom_itx> you want that on
[23:14:25] <Tom_itx> with G43
[23:14:28] <andypugh> Load the reference tool.Jog down to near the top of the work. Slowly jog the Z upwards until a 6mm dowel slips under the tool. Hit touch-off, select G54, type in "6mm" as the axis position.
[23:14:59] <andypugh> If there are any other tools to be used, then repeat the process, but select "T" rather than "G54" in the touch-off dialog.
[23:15:08] <PetefromTn> Then I will set that tool on my table and make it zero, followed by every other tool the same way basically.
[23:15:47] <PetefromTn> andypugh Okay so do you do this for every part run I mean the tools...
[23:15:53] <Tom_itx> don't directly edit the tool table z offsets
[23:16:00] <andypugh> On my mill-in-progress I intend to use a probe and a setting gauge though.
[23:16:46] <PetefromTn> Tom_itx I would only do that if I ever get a fixture for my large granite surface plate and do offline measurement like I did with the Tormach Tooling on my Rf45.
[23:17:14] <andypugh> PetefromTn: You need to do the G54 touch-off any time that you change workpiece thickness.
[23:17:42] <andypugh> But after that you should only ever need to touch-off a tool when its length has changed.
[23:17:46] <PetefromTn> andypugh Yeah I know what I am asking is if you go thru all your tools in that program each time..
[23:18:00] <PetefromTn> yeah that is what I figured, I do that same thing.
[23:18:40] <PetefromTn> Incidentally I just measured a few of these parts I made for that customer.
[23:19:01] <PetefromTn> The holes were supposed to be 12mmx18.6mm oval slots.
[23:19:17] <andypugh> I only actually have repeatable tool-length on the lathe. But in theory that should never need to be touched off again once all the tools are in the table. In practice I keep hitting the wrong option in touch-off and messing the setup up.
[23:19:33] <PetefromTn> they are all within .01mm or so.. Amazing this machine is and I did not even tweak anything really yet.
[23:20:12] <andypugh> I am happy when my Chinese mill manages 1mm tolerance and only breaks a couple of toolbits.
[23:20:34] <andypugh> I have higher expectations from the Harrison.
[23:20:47] <PetefromTn> andypugh Yeah I know how you feel. My RF45 was not too bad but the Cincinatti is in another class altogether.
[23:21:37] <PetefromTn> It's just nice to know that when I program it I can expect some relativley precise results in the finished part.
[23:22:08] -!- tmcw has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[23:22:15] <PetefromTn> Still needs lots of tweaking and work but so far the programmed cuts are impressive and the finish is excellent even in this shitty hot rolled square tubing...
[23:23:42] <andypugh> It sounds more like a plasma-cutter job, but as long as it pays, who cares?
[23:24:33] <PetefromTn> actually he needed some smooth sides to the holes because they are basically an eccentric adjuster that slides on a cam head bolt...
[23:24:52] <PetefromTn> a CNC laser might have done a decent enough job probably...

[23:44:01] <andypugh> I am about to head to sleep.
[23:44:15] <jthornton> me too in a bit
[23:44:23] <jthornton> want me to wake you at 3AM
[23:44:44] <andypugh> I should already be up by then.
