07:28 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/thread_mills/Mill_holder1.jpg
07:29 PM Tom_L: ready for threads. need to make some softjaws for the mill now
07:44 PM rue_mohr: didyou do that with the cnc?
07:45 PM rue_mohr: touch off centred?
07:45 PM Tom_L: lathe
07:46 PM Tom_L: once i get the fixture i'll program to cut the hole on the mill
07:46 PM Tom_L: face one end on the lathe and finish it on the mill from that
07:47 PM Tom_L: the 'hole' in the softjaws will be centered a known distance from the end so i can touch off the end
07:47 PM Tom_L: the cad cam is set the same way
07:51 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/thread_mills/Mill_holder_softjaws.jpg
07:53 PM Tom_L: saving a bit on the right end to lay them on their side to drill a cross hole for the removal tool and a grub screw
07:54 PM Tom_L: i _might_ program the grub screw threads depending on what size it is
08:16 PM rue_mohr: maybe have it mill a custom pocket in a dedicated set of softjaws
08:16 PM rue_mohr: then you know the location too
08:16 PM Tom_L: that's what that pic is
08:16 PM rue_mohr: aha!
08:16 PM rue_mohr: good to know your keeping up! :)
08:17 PM Tom_L: then i'll lay it in it's side and align it to the end of the softjaws to drill the holes
08:17 PM rue_mohr: cool
08:17 PM rue_mohr: you have 2 vises dont you?
08:17 PM Tom_L: just that one nice one
08:17 PM Tom_L: and a crap sherline one
08:18 PM Tom_L: it's not a big deal to use the same jaws for both ops
08:29 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/thread_mills/Mill_holder_softjaws_top.jpg
08:29 PM Tom_L: make more sense?
08:30 PM Tom_L: the inner circles are the cutter path
08:33 PM rue_mohr: :) a bit
08:44 PM Tom_L: that's the bad thing about my old cad cam. it's all wireframe. no solids to look pretty

10:40 PM rue_shop1: can you prove it was the kitchen and get it shut down?
10:40 PM rue_shop1: as, from other things I'v heard before, I suspect your right
10:41 PM zhanx: i can't prove it but i am wondering, 1/2 week and 1/2 the school is sick with a stomach issue. that is hygiene issues
10:41 PM rue_shop1: yea
10:41 PM rue_shop1: one of by buddies took a foodsafe course
10:41 PM rue_shop1: and yea
10:42 PM rue_shop1: it would be the bennifit of everyone if you called it and had it shut down till its resolved
10:42 PM rue_shop1: (have to be the asshole)
10:42 PM zhanx: my wife did for me when i asked about it, she is worse than me
10:43 PM zhanx: school has two kitchens
10:43 PM zhanx: only the classes out of one are affected
10:43 PM rue_shop1: is there a health auth you can sick on them?
10:43 PM zhanx: she didn't realize that till i said it
10:43 PM rue_shop1: could be a fridge not working right

11:04 PM Tom_L: i'd had the line so long (way before internet was a thing) i'd never created an online account for it
11:04 PM zhanx: meanwhile my voice mail is still not notifying my phone
11:04 PM Tom_L: they kept asking me for a pin number or pass code to access it
11:04 PM Tom_L: i told them there was none and they flipped out
11:05 PM zhanx: sweet first thumb drive found the code
11:05 PM Tom_L: so i created one and i'll call em back tomorrow to see if we can finally finish this crap
