07:21 PM rue_mohr: Tom_itx, the collets and chuck just arrived...
07:32 PM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/tempimage/p1280960.jpg
08:49 PM Tom_itx: nice
08:50 PM Tom_itx: need to make a wood rack for them now
10:34 PM rue_shop3: hah
10:35 PM rue_shop3: second cnc job ok?
10:37 PM Tom_itx: oh to make a rack?
10:38 PM Tom_itx: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/cutters/Tool_Holder1.jpg
10:38 PM Tom_itx: the front one is for the active job and i label the tools per program
10:41 PM Tom_itx: oh
10:41 PM Tom_itx: you should get a set of 123 blocks too
10:41 PM rue_shop3: I just set my zero over the sharpie dot on the metal
10:42 PM Tom_itx: i like a little safety margin
10:42 PM rue_shop3: often spaced 0.25mm over with a peice of clear tape folded over 4 times
10:42 PM Tom_itx is now known as Tom_L
10:42 PM rue_shop3: scotch, scotch is the word I lost for a minute there
10:42 PM Tom_L: i have 2 precision gage blocks
10:43 PM Tom_L: 1 1" and 1 .1"
10:43 PM rue_shop3: well, I COULD use the feeler guages, but...
10:43 PM rue_shop3: The only Z precision cut I have is the A9/A10
10:43 PM Tom_L: i use the 1" sometimes but usually use the 1 side of the 123 to set the tools 1" above the material
10:43 PM rue_shop3: I have to make sure the remaining metal at the bottom of the inside is about 0.8mm
10:44 PM Tom_L: since you'll be able to run faster i should set you up with a program for those
10:44 PM rue_shop3: I wonder if I should use that chuck that came with the R8 collar or a different one...
10:44 PM rue_shop3: take me a few weeks to get up and going yet
10:45 PM Tom_L: measure the runout
10:45 PM Tom_L: get a 'last word' indicator and an arm to mount it
10:46 PM Tom_L: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251800481127213.html
10:46 PM Tom_L: i have 2 sizes like those
10:46 PM Tom_L: that style is pretty handy
10:47 PM Tom_L: actually the joint on that one is different than mine, not quite as flexible
10:48 PM rue_shop3: so, was all that pretty good for less than $200?
10:48 PM rue_shop3: I was also wondering if I should make a touch plate
10:48 PM Tom_L: https://www.amazon.com/Clockwise-Tools-DIBR-0105-Electronic-Conversion/dp/B01N2NE4P8/ref=sr_1_10?crid=Q4ZOGQD7X1B0&keywords=magnetic+base+dial+indicator&qid=1689133661&sprefix=magnetic+base%2Caps%2C268&sr=8-10
10:48 PM Tom_L: the knob in the middle tightens both ends
10:49 PM Tom_L: i have a large and small version of those
10:50 PM Tom_L: https://www.amazon.com/KHCRAFT-Professional-Indicator-Hardened-Components/dp/B07GP7NVVL/ref=sr_1_18?crid=26SJGL8TD6PD5&keywords=last+word+dial+indicator&qid=1689133739&sprefix=last+word+%2Caps%2C205&sr=8-18
10:50 PM Tom_L: last word
10:50 PM Tom_L: can clamp on 3 sides
10:51 PM Tom_L: mine is mitutoyo though
10:51 PM Tom_L: https://www.amazon.com/Mitutoyo-0-0002-Accuracy-0-0005-White/dp/B079H8T1LV/ref=sr_1_22?crid=26SJGL8TD6PD5&keywords=last+word+dial+indicator&qid=1689133739&sprefix=last+word+%2Caps%2C205&sr=8-22
10:51 PM rue_shop3: I'm going to race to get the controller box done up
10:52 PM Tom_L: i have a cheap one and a mitsutoyo
10:52 PM rue_shop3: still cant find a 9.1 ohm resistor
10:52 PM Tom_L: use 10
10:52 PM Tom_L: why does it have to be that exact?
10:52 PM Tom_L: what's it for?
10:53 PM Tom_L: https://www.amazon.com/Fowler-Warranty-52-585-005-0-Magnetic-dimensions/dp/B00B5HQEE8/ref=sr_1_14?crid=Q4ZOGQD7X1B0&keywords=magnetic+base+dial+indicator&qid=1689133661&sprefix=magnetic+base%2Caps%2C268&sr=8-14
10:53 PM Tom_L: that type of stand is crap
10:53 PM Tom_L: i have one of those too
10:55 PM Tom_L: alot of guys use touch plates since they have to set each tool like you will
10:55 PM Tom_L: just make sure the tool stops or you'll ruin it
10:58 PM Tom_L: i actually was gonna make one using that .1" gage block so it would be more accurate but decided not to
10:59 PM Tom_L: $200 isn't bad for all that depending on the quality
10:59 PM Tom_L: tooling is expensive
11:22 PM rue_mohr: I dont know, I dont have my orig enginerring data
11:23 PM rue_mohr: I got a handfull of milling bits from taht same sale
11:23 PM rue_mohr: did I show ya?
11:24 PM rue_mohr: I have one of those stands for the dial on the lathe
