17:24 Tom_itx what tap size are the holes?
17:39 any67064803 in the end bell? i dunno
18:17 any67064803 ?
18:43 Tom_itx would be good to know
18:45 any67064803 but you aren't going to tap them
18:46 any67064803 [23:14] <katsmeow> no, the unthreaded has no threads sticking out ino the hole
18:46 any67064803 [23:14] <katsmeow> anyhow, i just verified, i can run a 1/4 allthread down where the oem has 10-24 bolt thru
18:46 any67064803 [23:14] <katsmeow> again, not critical stuff
18:46 any67064803 [23:15] <katsmeow> or i can run 10-24 or 12-whatever
18:46 any67064803 [23:16] <katsmeow> but if you drill to clear 10-24, i can always overdrill it to take #12 or 1/4

21:11 Tom_itx they aren't quite perfect
21:11 Tom_itx you may have to stake the bearing on one
21:13 Tom_itx the old lathe is about worn out
21:17 Tom_itx i still need to locate the bolt holes
21:20 y67064803 l
21:20 any67064803 wwwoooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
21:21 any67064803 nice
21:22 any67064803 bottom pic on http://designerthinking.com/B&S_starter/B&S_starter.html
21:23 any67064803 the two bolt holes are on a line thru the bearing center, and 1.25 each side of bearing center
21:23 Tom_itx i know
21:23 any67064803 the cone-taper the oem put there is so not needed, but i won't object to it
21:24 Tom_itx for ease of assembly
21:24 any67064803 the cone taper is to feed the bolt in blindly fromt he other side more easily, however, atm i do not know which side i prefer feeding thebolt from anyhow
21:24 any67064803 yeas
21:24 any67064803 ok,, what question was there about locating the bolt holes?
21:24 Tom_itx none
21:25 Tom_itx 10-24 2.5" apart on centers
21:25 y67064803
21:26 Tom_itx not gonna do those tonight
21:26 Tom_itx i'll set the mill up and let it locate them
21:26 any67064803 what did you make those from?
21:26 Tom_itx 3" bar stock
21:26 Tom_itx i picked up today
21:26 any67064803 wow, that sounds like a lot of time parting off the bells from the round
21:27 Tom_itx made it easier to make them i think as i could just move on to the next one
21:27 any67064803 oh, you did the ID and OD before parting them?
21:27 Tom_itx my parting tool doesn't work so well, i hacksawed them and faced the back side
21:28 Tom_itx yes
21:28 any67064803 hacksaw, ouch
21:28 any67064803 bandsaw?
21:28 Tom_itx HACK saw
21:28 Tom_itx while turning in the lathe
21:28 y67064803 looks afraid of Tom's
21:29 Tom_itx works rather well once you get a feel for it
21:29 any67064803 course, i did a lot of sawing ono the plugin with hacksaw
21:29 any67064803 and files
21:29 Tom_itx i get too much chatter with any sort of cutoff
21:29 Tom_itx i've got several cutoff blades but no holder for them
21:29 y67064803
21:30 any67064803 i'd think a 1.5 inch cutoff would chatter badly anyow
21:30 Tom_itx about an inch is all
21:32 any67064803 once i get the mounting worked out, i'll need you to engrave your company name and part number on them :-)
21:32 any67064803 course, you can put that on the inside, but it wouldn't be seen
22:21 y67064803 ponders a trip to grocery s
23:00 rue_house I wonder how hard it would be to makea battery backed up USB ram key
23:01 Tom_itx will a dell laptop run with no battery but just on the ac supply?
23:01 any67064803 mine does
23:02 Tom_itx one of the laptop batteries is goin tits up
23:02 any67064803 freebie, batteries died many yrs ago, no longer available
23:02 any67064803 you may be able to split the pack open and cram in new cells
23:05 rue_house I wonder if you can hijack the ram from an otherwise dead motherboard via the pci slot
23:05 rue_house no I mean dram
23:05 rue_house ram modules
23:05 rue_house 2G usb flash ram
23:05 rue_house er
23:05 rue_house ..ram
23:37 rue_shop2 see if Ic an control the motor with it
23:41 rue_shop2 yay! I can slam the motor from full fwd to full reverse and nothing reboots, catches fire, locks on, or explodes!
