09:27 AM aandrew: woo my cheap motor/controller arrived
09:37 AM aandrew: also from Richmond
09:37 AM aandrew: packed kind of shitty but acceptable
09:37 AM aandrew: this motor has some serious cogging, wow
09:37 AM aandrew: not an issue, but wow
09:37 AM aandrew: I wonder if it'd be better if I just use the existing sprocket and build an adapter plate that connects the mill to the motor via a chain instead of trying to extend the shaft of the motor
09:37 AM aandrew: or maybe remove the sprocket and use a wide timing belt, I think Tom_L has this approach on his mill
07:19 PM rue_mohr: I might leave the place I'm working for
07:19 PM rue_mohr: I dont want to make a change, but I might have to
07:20 PM rue_mohr: aandrew, I know eh!!!
07:20 PM rue_mohr: aandrew, dont use chain!, TOOO LOUD!!!
07:20 PM rue_mohr: I use two belts, if one gives your usually ok to the end of the job
07:21 PM rue_mohr: I'm gonna have a stress-nap
07:21 PM rue_mohr: then some stress fruitloops, then a stress shower
07:40 PM Tom_L: better have something lined up if you do
08:21 PM aandrew: ugh that sucks rue_mohr
08:30 PM rue_mohr: heh, ma points out I should have quit 2 years ago
