Back
[00:00:05] <jdh> all I can do is slow down the spindle or slow down the feed, or just do the same as I was doing for 2 flutes
[00:00:40] <eric_unterhausen> I used to know what to do for about a day and a half
[00:00:46] <Tom_itx> try the same and see how it does
[00:00:48] <eric_unterhausen> I'm not that great of a machinist
[00:01:18] <Tom_itx> 4 flute just tend to load up quicker on aluminum
[00:01:43] <eric_unterhausen> yeah, the aluminum specific ones are 2 flute
[00:01:45] <Tom_itx> some ppl like 3 flute for alum but i still prefer 2
[00:01:47] <eric_unterhausen> and high angle
[00:02:56] <eric_unterhausen> run as fast as possible
[00:03:21] <jdh> I'm barely taking off any metal, just cleaning up the radius from 1/4 to 1/8
[00:03:40] <Tom_itx> don't worry about it then

[01:35:29] <RyanS> Valen my old man wants to get a manual milling machine (not intending to CNC), did your HM-46 do ok as strictly as a manual machine? I'm thinking fixed choice of gears could be a problem
[01:35:55] <Valen> sorta
[01:36:08] <Valen> to be clear ours was a 45
[01:36:40] <Valen> the gearing wasn't really much of a problem
[01:36:57] <Valen> the lash in the gears was more of an issue in terms of finish
[01:37:01] <RyanS> hm they don't appear to sell the 45
[01:37:07] <RyanS> Any more
[01:37:08] <Valen> probably older
[01:37:53] <RyanS> This ones 1.1kw
[01:38:16] <RyanS> Could you do stainless?
[01:38:56] <Valen> I did cut stainless with it
[01:39:00] <Valen> slowly
[01:39:21] <tjb1> https://www.dropbox.com/s/kwuzrzxhf2form5/2013-06-23%2021.01.22.jpg
[01:39:45] <Valen> some sort of periodic error in it
[01:39:50] <Valen> other than that, neato
[01:40:44] <RyanS> yeah, you have to feed pretty quick on SS?
[01:41:01] <RyanS> work hardening ..
[01:42:01] <Valen> shallow cut depth
[01:42:13] <Valen> but yeah i think most of the problem we had was with the spindle
[01:42:48] <RyanS> what was the issue?
[01:43:07] <Valen> most of it
[01:43:08] <Valen> ;->
[01:44:32] <RyanS> ie, motor not powerful enough, massive runout?
[01:44:46] <Valen> actually the motor power was OK
[01:44:57] <Valen> i guess the thing is you just need to use lots more tools
[01:45:04] <Valen> and the spindle itself would vibrate
[01:46:42] <RyanS> More tools... Isn't a range of tools generally pretty standard for milling ?
[01:47:00] <Valen> I mean CnC you put a 6mm end mill in and make the entire part
[01:47:09] <Valen> manual you will start off with a 90mm fly cutter
[01:47:17] <Valen> then put a 16mm in and do some stuff
[01:47:20] <Valen> then a 12mm
[01:47:23] <Valen> then a 6
[01:47:32] <Valen> then a corner radius cutter
[01:47:50] <RyanS> yeah for sure
[01:48:33] <RyanS> I figure if he wants to get the mill. It can be used to build parts for the cnc :)
[01:50:09] <Valen> it wasn't total crap
[01:50:20] <RyanS> Already have a set of endmills umm, indexable 16mm endmill & facemill, clamp kit
[01:50:33] <Valen> we didn't need to weld bits onto it to make it stronger like people do with X3s
[01:55:16] <RyanS> I suppose at about twice the weight of sx3 and bigger motor, plus $200 cheaper I guess it's got too bad

[01:56:51] <RyanS> theres a BF20 from titan machinery but I think they are smaller machines

[01:59:54] <Valen> half the gib screws weren't tapped all the way though
[02:02:31] <jdh> does anyone else ever forget to touch-off Z after changing tools, or just me?
[02:03:14] <Valen> not often, its expensive
[02:03:25] <jdh> yeah
[02:03:44] <jdh> for some reason, I never forget in a way that makes it just not cut

[02:47:26] <Tom_itx> stuart showed me around the shop while i was there
[02:47:35] <Tom_itx> pretty cool stuff you got goin on there
[02:48:03] <Tom_itx> i'd never been around EDM so i thought that was cool
[02:48:43] <Tom_itx> about all i've got is the sherline which is less than impressive
[02:49:17] <Tom_itx> all the conversion i've done for the most part is online
[02:49:37] <KimK> Ha, yes, did he show you the "drilled and tapped" ball bearing? ("Because we can.", lol)
[02:49:51] <Tom_itx> yep
[02:49:58] <KimK> That's a good one.
[02:50:37] <KimK> Hey, there's nothing wrong with a Sherline, it is what it is.

[03:07:09] <eric_unterhausen> trying to get my boss to retrofit a horrible commercial control with linuxcnc
[03:07:25] <CaptHindsight> tjb1: do you use the hold downs as they are or did you beef them up?
[03:07:27] <KimK> Tom_itx: No, it was Bionic on Pawnee and Meridian.
[03:07:41] <Tom_itx> yeah those are just as good
[03:07:55] <tjb1> CaptHindsight: just use the vise it came with, watch cutting small dowel though…it now has 1 broken tooth
[03:08:48] <KimK> eric_unterhausen: Let me know if I can help, Stuart would be glad to show him around or talk to him by phone if it would help. And there are some of Stuart's videos available on YouTube.
[03:09:46] <Tom_itx> he seems quite knowledgeable on linuxcnc
[03:10:22] <KimK> Yes, he is quite the proponent of it, and for a lot of good reasons.
[03:11:14] <eric_unterhausen> KimK, sent him one of Stuart's vids, didn't really help
[03:11:43] <eric_unterhausen> I think he would rather have a broken system than spend $500 on it
[03:11:59] <Tom_itx> is it the down time that bugs him?
[03:12:16] <eric_unterhausen> we haven't been using it
[03:12:39] <Tom_itx> have you come up with a retrofit plan/budget?
[03:12:42] <Tom_itx> to present him
[03:12:57] <eric_unterhausen> tried to use it last week and found out that it was broken worse than we thought
[03:13:09] <skunkworks> Tom_itx: boy - did I miss you? or do I just have brain fade>
[03:13:11] <eric_unterhausen> it's just that the control is so inflexible that it's a pain to fix
[03:13:44] <eric_unterhausen> the main problem is that it has a flaky encoder
[03:13:45] <Tom_itx> skunkworks, hard to say... i'm not good with remembering names much until i get to know someone either
[03:13:53] <KimK> Ah, so he views it as spending money on something that is not needed? Maybe you should find out how many jobs they are passing on since their machine doesn't work? That's money "floating by" that he's not "grabbing".
[03:13:56] <skunkworks> heh
[03:14:04] <skunkworks> I resemble that remeark
[03:14:08] <Tom_itx> i had to leave early anyway
[03:14:13] <CaptHindsight> http://www.brobousa.com/metalcuttingcoldsaws/aluminumcuttingsaw.html
[03:14:20] <eric_unterhausen> we are trying to figure out how to get jobs at all given our academic environment
[03:14:42] <CaptHindsight> I like the hold downs that drop
[03:15:29] <KimK> eric_unterhausen: What is the machine? Would they consider selling it on eBay/Craigslist/etc if it worked? If it didn't?
[03:15:59] <eric_unterhausen> it isn't ours
[03:16:10] <KimK> Ah, there's the rub.
[03:16:14] <eric_unterhausen> ya
[03:16:33] <KimK> Maybe he should offer to buy it first?
[03:16:38] <Tom_itx> is that part of the holdup on retrofitting it?
[03:16:43] <eric_unterhausen> he already sold it :)
[03:16:54] <eric_unterhausen> the person didn't take delivery
[03:16:59] <KimK> Ah, then you need to talk to the new owners?
[03:17:10] <KimK> Oh, I see.
[03:17:11] <eric_unterhausen> we do that a lot anyway
[03:17:18] <eric_unterhausen> friends
[03:18:34] <eric_unterhausen> I figured it was worth the minor investement to make it work much better
[03:19:40] <KimK> OK, well, let me know if there's anything I can do to help you. Where are you located (approx)?
[03:19:52] <eric_unterhausen> Pennsylvania
[03:20:22] <KimK> OK. I'll help you if I can.
[03:20:58] <Tom_itx> i considered it worth it to invest in mesa / gecko stuff to make a huge improvement on my meager sherline
[03:21:48] <KimK> Sure, did you get to see the little South Bend Magnaturns while you were here?
[03:22:03] <Tom_itx> i mostly do it to learn about the hardware / software nowdays
[03:22:13] <Tom_itx> no i missed the lathe
[03:22:29] <Tom_itx> i saw the rigid tapping demo
[03:22:34] <eric_unterhausen> I need to get my mill running, then he probably wouldn't have as much hesitation
[03:22:52] <Tom_itx> you now have a goal
[03:23:17] <eric_unterhausen> yeah, but if we don't get any work to replace the money I spend on the retrofit, it comes out of my pocket :)
[03:23:19] <KimK> Tom_itx: Yes, learning is always good. And maybe there will be pictures of the Magnaturns eventually.
[03:24:05] <Tom_itx> eric_unterhausen, you must believe in what you do then
[03:24:14] <Tom_itx> is it worth the risk?

[03:24:33] <eric_unterhausen> not much money
[03:25:08] <KimK> eric_unterhausen: If that's the deal, ask him if you can run side jobs until you recover your money. Then, when you've recovered your money, ask him if you can keep running side jobs for a split of the money. Pretty soon you'll have a machine shop of your own!
[03:25:53] <Tom_itx> that's how my buddy started
[03:26:12] <eric_unterhausen> we are in the business of doing research
[03:26:31] <eric_unterhausen> I have thought of starting a shop though
[03:29:29] <KimK> Sure, it sounds like a good idea. It's all in what kind of jobs you can get, how profitable they are, I mean. It's good to have a plan, and some starting customers with jobs they want done.
[03:33:48] <KimK> Oh the other hand, if you can keep selling the machine to people to never come to pick it up, that sounds like a moneymaking idea too! "...(17) If the machine is not picked up within thirty days of this sale, the machine returns to the sellers, and the sellers keep any money the buyers have paid."...
[03:34:06] <KimK> s/to people to/to people who/
[03:35:01] <KimK> Keep chatting, I'll be back in a bit.

[12:07:59] <archivist_herron> the crafty aspect of that style holder is the top angle is set by the holder so user did not need to grind that face
[12:08:39] <archivist_herron> but they over hang
[12:09:21] <RyanS> hmm it seems like nobody bothers to grind their own tools now..
[12:10:23] <jthornton> it's not economical to hand grind tools any more, unless your just doing turning for a hobby
[12:10:39] <archivist_herron> I grind my specials
[12:12:16] <jthornton> I thought everything you did was special and unique :) and quite nice too
[12:13:47] <RyanS> So they don't use hss in industry at all'?
[12:14:29] <jthornton> not for a long time
[12:14:42] -!- mackerski has quit [Quit: mackerski]
[12:16:30] <RyanS> But Carbide has disadvantages, it's more brittle
[12:18:51] <archivist_herron> as I always say use the right tool for the job
[12:19:07] <archivist_herron> and define industry :)
[12:20:31] <archivist_herron> jthornton, I think hss is still used on some sliding head stuff
[12:20:37] <Tecan> http://i.imgur.com/7OJ2Pd1.jpg
[12:22:49] <RyanS> Not a hobby is industry, for business, for-profit
[12:24:32] <archivist_herron> if I use hss to make something for profit then yes it is still in use
[12:25:01] <jthornton> archivist_herron, what is a sliding head?
[12:25:07] <archivist_herron> but 1 job this year in total is ......rubbish
[12:25:43] <jthornton> do you mean a swiss type of lathe?
[12:25:48] <archivist_herron> yes
[12:26:29] <archivist_herron> swiss is not a term I like as that would encompass non sliding head too
[12:27:17] <RyanS> our tool set is weird I haven't seen anything like it in any catalogue
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb176/Mingzhus/lathetools_zps9194c13c.jpg
[12:27:38] <RyanS> The only I recognise is threading and internal threading
[12:28:01] <RyanS> The first one looks like it's assembled incorrect
[12:28:06] <archivist_herron> hss is used where form grinding is simple
[12:29:09] <RyanS> n3 and n7 look almost identical

[21:20:41] <Aero-Tec2> so what does that mean?
[21:20:59] <Aero-Tec2> number of filters (size)
[21:21:06] <dosas> so if you have 3 modules
[21:21:11] <dosas> 9 > 3?
[21:21:19] <Aero-Tec2> I would guess there are 3 filters
[21:21:28] <dosas> or is it debounce.3.9

[21:33:45] <Aero-Tec2> seeing as it is the same encoder
[21:34:03] <Aero-Tec2> and I an using only 1 channel right now
[21:34:17] <dosas> no 3
[21:34:20] <dosas> but one instance
[21:34:29] <Aero-Tec2> how do I get to channel 1, seeing as channel 0 is in use
[21:35:23] <micges> Aero-Tec2: run halrun
[21:35:43] <Aero-Tec2> ok, how?
[21:35:53] <Aero-Tec2> never even heard of it till now
[21:35:55] <dosas> open terminal type halrun
[21:35:59] <dosas> it is great
[21:36:14] <dosas> you can use tab to autocomplete
[21:36:20] <Aero-Tec2> do I need to be in a dir when I run it?
[21:36:25] <dosas> but could have problem with permissions
[21:36:28] <dosas> i had them
[21:36:31] <dosas> no
[21:36:34] <dosas> just open terminal
[21:36:57] <Aero-Tec2> I have several hals, how would it know what one?
[21:37:18] <micges> no important now
[21:37:27] <dosas> ?
[21:37:55] <dosas> micges: can you loadrt debounce in halrun?
[21:37:57] <dosas> i can't
[21:38:04] <Aero-Tec2> so halrun path/hal_file_name
[21:38:10] <dosas> no
[21:38:12] <dosas> jsut
[21:38:14] <dosas> halrun
[21:38:27] <Aero-Tec2> ok
[21:38:39] <micges> dosas: I've no idea why you can;t
[21:38:44] <dosas> me neither
[21:38:52] <dosas> let's hope aero-tec2 can
[21:39:01] <dosas> then type first letters
[21:39:04] <micges> Aero-Tec2: loadrt debounce cfg=3
[21:39:08] <dosas> and try the autocompletion with tab
[21:39:12] <micges> Aero-Tec2: show all
[21:39:20] <dosas> if you want
[21:40:25] <tjtr33> http://pastebin.com/mNabTu2w
[21:40:36] <dosas> turns out if i use it right i can too
[21:41:04] <dosas> Aero-Tec2: if you use addf debou and tab
[21:41:12] <dosas> it shows you that only .0 is possible

[21:45:42] <Aero-Tec2> that was cool
[21:45:54] <Aero-Tec2> was of some help as well
[21:46:31] <Aero-Tec2> debounce.0.1 is what I need to use
[21:47:06] <Aero-Tec2> and seeing as debounce.0 has a clock I do not need to have anything else there I would guess
[21:48:02] <Aero-Tec2> will rem out debounce.1 that is errorring

[21:58:38] <Aero-Tec2> setp encoder.0.counter-mode 1

[21:59:39] <tjtr33> damn computers always do what i tell 'em instead of what i mean ;)
[21:59:42] <Aero-Tec2> so should RMPS be driven be index or by channel A of the encoder

[22:00:02] <Aero-Tec2> old computer programmers joke
[22:00:51] <Aero-Tec2> know it well, and have fallen victim to it many a times
[22:01:15] <Aero-Tec2> my bug in a program would be such a thing
[22:01:38] <tjtr33> i think index ( once per rev instead of A which is umpteen per rev ) i think you got it
[22:02:02] <Aero-Tec2> so what is channel A used for?
[22:02:12] <Aero-Tec2> how do you set it up the right way?
[22:02:27] <tjtr33> along with B to find the angular position inside 1 rev
[22:02:29] <Aero-Tec2> I was following the sample hal
[22:03:50] <Aero-Tec2> http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/examples/spindle.html
[22:04:05] <Aero-Tec2> 6. Spindle Feedback
[22:04:05] <Aero-Tec2> 6.1. Spindle Synchronized Motion
[22:04:05] <Aero-Tec2> Spindle feedback is needed by LinuxCNC to perform any spindle coordinated motions like threading and constant surface speed. The StepConf Wizard can perform the connections for you if you select Encoder Phase A and Encoder Index as inputs.
[22:04:05] <Aero-Tec2> Hardware assumptions:
[22:04:06] <Aero-Tec2> An encoder is connected to the spindle and puts out 100 pulses per revolution on phase A
[22:04:08] <Aero-Tec2> The encoder A phase is connected to the parallel port pin 10
[22:04:10] <Aero-Tec2> The encoder index pulse is connected to the parallel port pin 11
[22:04:12] <Aero-Tec2> Basic Steps to add the components and configure them: [1] [2] [3]
[22:04:14] <Aero-Tec2> # add the encoder to HAL and attach it to threads.
[22:04:16] <Aero-Tec2> loadrt encoder num_chan=1
[22:04:18] <Aero-Tec2> addf encoder.update-counters base-thread
[22:04:20] <Aero-Tec2> addf encoder.capture-position servo-thread
[22:04:22] <Aero-Tec2> # set the HAL encoder to 100 pulses per revolution.
[22:04:24] <Aero-Tec2> setp encoder.3.position-scale 100
[22:04:26] <Aero-Tec2> # set the HAL encoder to non-quadrature simple counting using A only.
[22:04:28] <Aero-Tec2> setp encoder.3.counter-mode true
[22:04:30] <Aero-Tec2> # connect the HAL encoder outputs to LinuxCNC.
[22:04:32] <Aero-Tec2> net spindle-position encoder.3.position => motion.spindle-revs
[22:04:36] <Aero-Tec2> net spindle-velocity encoder.3.velocity => motion.spindle-speed-in
[22:04:38] <Aero-Tec2> net spindle-index-enable encoder.3.index-enable <=> motion.spindle-index-enable
[22:04:40] <Aero-Tec2> # connect the HAL encoder inputs to the real encoder.
[22:04:42] <Aero-Tec2> net spindle-phase-a encoder.3.phase-A <= parport.0.pin-10-in
[22:04:44] <Aero-Tec2> net spindle-phase-b encoder.3.phase-B
[22:04:46] <Aero-Tec2> net spindle-index encoder.3.phase-Z <= parport.0.pin-11-in
[22:04:48] <Connor> dude, pastbin please!!
[22:04:48] <Aero-Tec2> my scale was 20 not 100
[22:04:50] <Aero-Tec2> encoder 0 not 3
[22:05:36] <Aero-Tec2> sorry
[22:07:04] <Aero-Tec2> by the look of it I should be doing RPMs from A channel and the index is just a starting point for threading
[22:07:09] <Aero-Tec2> is that correct?
