02:55 AM rue_mohr: dont break yourself eh?
02:59 AM rue_mohr: Tom_L, were the tables for alum?
03:21 AM Tom_L: yes
07:58 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/thread_mills/Mill_Holder_Steel1.jpg
07:58 PM Tom_L: steel vs aluminum
08:51 PM rue_mohr: nice.
08:52 PM rue_mohr: do you know why the bevel on the alum might look eccentric?
09:09 PM Tom_L: perspective
09:09 PM rue_mohr: ok
09:09 PM Tom_L: they both turned out rather well
09:09 PM rue_mohr: yea, they look awesome
09:09 PM rue_mohr: so, even the side thread was cnc?
09:10 PM Tom_L: i need to adjust the thread slightly and maybe add a little more chamfer on the steel thread
09:10 PM Tom_L: yes
09:10 PM rue_mohr: crazy
09:10 PM Tom_L: all run from one program with 2 positions
09:10 PM rue_mohr: I welded up a set of parallel axies for the...... Y? axis of the new cnc
09:10 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/thread_mills/Thread_mill2.jpg
09:10 PM Tom_L: used the largest and smallest of those
09:11 PM rue_mohr: all stillin one peice too
09:11 PM Tom_L: yup
09:11 PM Tom_L: i get a little nervous with those tiny cuttes
09:11 PM Tom_L: cutters
09:11 PM rue_mohr: yea
09:11 PM Tom_L: guessed on the feeds for steel and nailed it
09:12 PM rue_mohr: cool
09:12 PM rue_mohr: pretty long too
09:12 PM Tom_L: just a little adjustment here n there on the code for the chamfers etc
09:12 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/thread_mills/Thread_mill3.jpg
09:12 PM Tom_L: i used every bit of that tiny one
09:12 PM Tom_L: 15 threads
09:13 PM rue_mohr: now if you could only make ACME nuts...
09:13 PM Tom_L: that's why i accurately modeled the cutter in the cad
09:13 PM Tom_L: not sure they make acme thread mills. they might
09:14 PM rue_mohr: I want to do so many things, and I have a headache that is killing my ability to get off my ass
09:14 PM Tom_L: http://internaltool.com/products/mill/147/Acme_internal_thread_mill
09:14 PM Tom_L: there you go
09:14 PM rue_mohr: ooo cool
09:15 PM Tom_L: you usually get a range of thread. not sure about that on acme
09:15 PM Tom_L: looks like you buy the one you need
09:16 PM Tom_L: tomorrow i may try adding just a spring pass on the threads and see if that fixes it. if not i'll add .002" or so to them
09:17 PM rue_mohr: price seems high, but if you compare to nuts its cheap
09:17 PM Tom_L: you figure what i spent on those cutters... i gained an inch and metric tap and die set
09:17 PM Tom_L: full range for both
09:17 PM rue_mohr: yup
09:18 PM Tom_L: i hesitated to plunge cut the 1/4" cutter but i did
09:18 PM rue_mohr: I wonder if I'm gonna recoder or if I'm done for the day
09:19 PM Tom_L: found a bug in lcnc too
09:19 PM rue_mohr: oh?
09:19 PM Tom_L: in the unreleased 2.8 master branch
09:20 PM Tom_L: i decided to try and run it
09:20 PM rue_mohr: to the nature of?
09:20 PM Tom_L: multiple tool change requests if you call "run from here" on a tool down in the file a ways
09:20 PM Tom_L: just an annoyance really
09:20 PM Tom_L: the program ran fine
09:21 PM Tom_L: if you asked to start at T3 it will call T1, T2 then T3
09:22 PM Tom_L: they've been doing alot of work on the tool table and spindles this round
09:22 PM rue_mohr: I wonder if they were worried about haivn to go thru the old changes to get to the right tool
09:22 PM Tom_L: i'm not sure what caused it
09:25 PM Tom_itx: https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/issues/572
10:42 PM Tom_L: ok, minor edits done. spring pass on both threads increasing the diameter .002", adjusting the chamfer on the thread ID a bit
11:02 PM Tom_shop: test
11:03 PM zhanx: so the laws had me redo thier google home after getting a new router
11:03 PM zhanx: i see you Tom_shop
11:03 PM Tom_shop: just setting up this client
11:04 PM zhanx: So I added my phone to it, can change the dish tv channel from my house
11:04 PM zhanx: they called me to tell the me tv is changing channels randomly
11:07 PM Tom_L: did you tell them you knew that already?
11:07 PM Tom_L: did you see the steel part i ran tonight?
11:07 PM zhanx: command the kids know, for 20 minutes they changed her tv channels till she called
11:08 PM zhanx: nope
11:08 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/thread_mills/Mill_Holder_Steel1.jpg
11:09 PM zhanx: nice
11:09 PM Tom_L: feeds n speeds were very close
11:09 PM zhanx: good test then
11:10 PM Tom_L: rather surprised the mill would cut the steel and turn out that good
11:10 PM zhanx: they look really good at that
11:11 PM zhanx: no chatter that i can see
11:11 PM Tom_L: just a little tiny bit on the thread but i think a spring pass will take care of that
11:13 PM zhanx: nice to see the results of that code
11:14 PM Tom_L: it's all ready to run but i'll run it tomorrow
11:17 PM zhanx: man i need to clear my plate, so much stuff on it again
11:59 PM rue_mohr: zhanx,
11:59 PM rue_mohr: whats going in the greenhouse now
