03:29 AM rue_mohr: http://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/AJ201907040011.html
07:47 AM Tom_L: i have a couple blanks left i didn't thread, i could try to mill the hole after threading and see but i have my doubts on that too
07:47 AM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/thread_mills/Mill_holder_blanks.jpg
07:47 AM Tom_L: those
07:48 AM Tom_L: the right one is a blank from sherline i just tried
07:50 AM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/thread_mills/Mill_Holder_Steel1.jpg
07:50 AM Tom_L: i'd have to mill from the top down and that may cause too much tool deflection to be accurate
04:34 PM rue_shop1: lighter passes?
04:35 PM Tom_L: i just sat down to work on the mill program
04:35 PM Tom_L: may try one later if i get it done
04:35 PM Tom_L: not that motivated
04:37 PM Tom_L: it might help with the alignment but if i can't get a 'snug' fit there's no point really
04:39 PM rue_shop3: its raining out
04:40 PM rue_shop3: so I'm definitly inside
04:42 PM Tom_L: working on what?
04:42 PM rue_shop1: I need to put together a pcb for a bode plotter
04:43 PM rue_shop1: 2hz means I can plot servos
06:56 PM Tom_L: program reasonablly modified. may try it after i eat
09:21 PM Tom_L: adjusting hole by .0005" increments
09:22 PM Tom_L: tedious
09:41 PM rue_shop1: you trial-and-erroring it in?
09:45 PM Tom_L: .0005" at a time yes
09:47 PM Tom_L: but at least i don't have to run the whole program over
09:48 PM Tom_L: i can start a couple lines above the arc move
10:17 PM rue_shop1: PB1, 2, 3
10:56 PM Tom_L: ok now the thread is tight again :( need to figure this out
10:56 PM Tom_L: the hole is a nice snug fit though
10:56 PM Tom_L: hopefully it will be aligned better than my lathe can do
10:57 PM Tom_L: i hadn't run that program in a while
10:57 PM zhanx: Hi from Texas
