12:01 AM rue_shop4: I need to find a few 74ls390
12:04 AM furrywolf: ebay, or your favorite online electronics store?
12:04 AM furrywolf: also consider 74hct390, unless you explictly need slow, power-hungry parts.
01:21 AM rue_mohr: huh, he's versed in ttl too
05:17 AM Tom_L: that's part of my gripe about letting immigrants (illegal or legal) into this country. little or no insurance and expect to live off our money
05:19 AM Tom_L: i've also been rear ended but thankfully there was a buffer car between and i had allowed plenty of space for him to stop but not the one that didn't even slow down behind him
05:20 AM Tom_L: so even after rolling forward for him, he got hit and in turn hit me
05:21 AM Tom_L: i would have taken the ditch but was in the center lane
01:48 PM ffurrywol is now known as furrywolf
08:56 PM rue_mohr: the fooks from englenad always set their parking brake at a stop
08:56 PM rue_mohr: folks
08:56 PM rue_mohr: england
08:57 PM rue_mohr: ... your listening to what I'm saying and not the words I'm using, right?
09:15 PM rue_shop3: always
09:27 PM __M00N__: hay rue your phone system down??
09:27 PM rue_shop3: er, no?
09:28 PM rue_shop3: wtf
09:28 PM rue_shop3: it is
09:28 PM rue_shop3: brb
09:28 PM __M00N__: k
09:29 PM rue_shop3: oops, admin fault
09:29 PM __M00N__: :P
09:29 PM rue_shop3: I left the 25pin connector unplugged after a thing last night
09:29 PM __M00N__: HA
09:29 PM rue_shop3: er, 25 pair
09:29 PM rue_shop3: I had one of those "we will phone you with your online passcode"
09:32 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/Skate_truck/Skate_truck3.jpg
09:33 PM rue_shop3: looks good, is it right?
09:33 PM Tom_L: pretty damn close
09:33 PM Tom_L: it's the test article though
09:33 PM Tom_L: but i think it's a good part
09:33 PM rue_shop3: how would the finish normally go, glass spray or tumble?
09:33 PM Tom_L: probably vibra tumble
09:34 PM rue_shop3: ooo, didn't think of that
09:34 PM rue_shop3: those same little pyramid things?
09:34 PM Tom_L: that's what we did on all the small parts that didn't have a finish callout
09:34 PM Tom_L: i still gotta drill some holes at those angles
09:34 PM Tom_L: to hold the wheel assembly
09:35 PM rue_shop3: build 4 axis machine
09:35 PM rue_shop3: see ya code that!
09:35 PM Tom_L: 5
09:36 PM Tom_L: something like 30 degrees
09:37 PM Tom_L: not bad from a 7/8" plate
09:37 PM rue_shop3: lot off the top
09:38 PM Tom_L: not too much, those bosses are almost that thick
09:38 PM Tom_L: i can tell you, i could use 2x the z travel
09:39 PM rue_shop3: whats it now?
09:39 PM rue_shop3: your vise is using it all up
09:39 PM Tom_L: alot of it yes
09:39 PM Tom_L: but it's probably the best thing i got for it
09:40 PM Tom_L: drills are a problem so i spot the locations and drill them on the drill press
09:40 PM rue_shop3: you will have a new motor soon enough
09:40 PM Tom_L: the cooler works very well
09:40 PM rue_shop3: I thought your stuff had all the fancy drill cycle stuff
09:40 PM Tom_L: i think i'll keep what i have for a while
09:40 PM Tom_L: it does
09:40 PM rue_shop3: thats the first thing I have to work out with my NC processor
09:40 PM Tom_L: but using the vise, i don't have the travel for the longer drills
09:41 PM rue_shop3: I have notes somewhere
09:41 PM rue_shop3: ... "longer"?
09:41 PM Tom_L: longer than the mill cutters
09:41 PM Tom_L: standard length
09:41 PM rue_shop3: that implies your gonna drill that deep
09:41 PM Tom_L: i really don't think the spindle motor would drill those larger holes anyway
09:41 PM rue_shop3: not with that ratio
09:42 PM Tom_L: i'm not gonna shorten the drills
09:42 PM rue_shop3: get some garage sale ones
09:42 PM Tom_L: i'll just drill em on the press
09:42 PM Tom_L: i got a bunch but they're all dull
09:42 PM Tom_L: whole box full
09:42 PM rue_shop3: that gets fixed when you shorten them
09:42 PM rue_shop3: only problem left is that root dia
09:44 PM Tom_L: i could hollow out the middle from the bottom side but i'm not sure i will
09:44 PM Tom_L: make the most of it .125" wall
09:44 PM rue_shop3: I dont know the design
09:44 PM Tom_L: the section between the large holes anyway
09:44 PM rue_shop3: I cant stand the things
09:44 PM rue_shop3: (well on, them, anyhow)
09:44 PM Tom_L: heh
09:45 PM Tom_L: i don't use them either
09:45 PM Tom_L: the kids do
09:45 PM rue_shop3: shy isn't he designing it?
09:45 PM rue_shop3: too much like work?
09:45 PM Tom_L: and since they're both into cnc & cad i decided to do this for them
09:45 PM Tom_L: he works alot
09:45 PM rue_shop3: see thats just backwards
09:45 PM Tom_L: full schedule school & work
09:45 PM rue_shop3: mhm
09:46 PM Tom_L: he could have
09:46 PM rue_shop3: yea, well
09:46 PM Tom_L: the younger one did a design for inline skates
09:46 PM Tom_L: he's got the time
09:46 PM rue_shop3: mhm
09:46 PM Tom_L: but i can't cut them on this mill
09:46 PM Tom_L: too big
09:47 PM rue_shop3: can you split it into two pieces and use a peice of deep C channel?
09:47 PM Tom_L: i thought about that but it would weaken the design
09:47 PM rue_shop3: hmm, no AC welder then?
09:47 PM Tom_L: i tried aluminum on the mig but it wasn't that good
09:48 PM rue_shop3: thats just the nature of mig
09:48 PM Tom_L: i don't have the argon anymore anyway
09:48 PM Tom_L: i know
09:48 PM rue_shop3: DHTHDHDTHDHDHDTDDPPPPPP there! pile of poo!
09:48 PM Tom_L: i just use tri mix for steel
09:48 PM Tom_L: i think now i could have done alot better than i did
09:48 PM Tom_L: i found that the gas wasn't making it to the tip
09:49 PM rue_shop3: I think flux core was a joke by someone with a dollar
09:49 PM Tom_L: the tube had pulled out from the welder enough to cause a leak
09:49 PM Tom_L: yeah
09:49 PM Tom_L: that fixed my steel welding problems too
09:49 PM Tom_L: haven't tried aluminum since i fixed it
09:49 PM Tom_L: probably won't
10:44 PM Tom_L: actually, the 4th axis wouldn't be that difficult but my cam doesn't support one
10:44 PM Tom_L: just index it to 30ish degrees and cut the hole
10:44 PM Tom_L: i'd need _alot_ more Z for that
11:01 PM rue_shop4: I need the ultimate project box
11:01 PM rue_shop4: I suppose I have a cnc machine
11:01 PM rue_shop4: I'd need a bigger one
11:01 PM rue_shop4: not for this project, tho
11:02 PM zhanx: rue_shop4, you need to finish this one first
11:06 PM rue_shop3: which first one?
11:06 PM rue_shop3: the old one that could use the upgrade, the one I undid, or the new one thats working
11:07 PM rue_shop3: at some point I said to me "with these I will never have to worry about the perfect project box ever again" i SURE the hell wish I know what I was looking at when I said it
11:08 PM zhanx: and then you got a 3d printer and don't need a perfect one
11:09 PM rue_shop4: I got 3.86 3d printers
11:09 PM rue_shop4: wish those damned bearings would arrive
11:10 PM zhanx: i will have 1.5 soon
11:10 PM zhanx: see what you started
11:10 PM rue_shop4: arg, I have this "perfect" width/height ratio I try to hit with bench equip, it seems to be so clear till I actually need numbers
11:10 PM rue_shop4: zhanx, ;)
11:10 PM rue_shop4: your doing a frosting printer?
11:10 PM rue_shop4: wax? for lost investment casting?
11:10 PM zhanx: no another i2
11:10 PM zhanx: then a delta for wax
11:10 PM rue_shop4: i2 rocks
11:11 PM * rue_shop4 snickers
11:11 PM zhanx: i need the height on the delta etc but the i2 for works
