Back
[00:32:51] <XXCoder> got stuff to cook plastic with :)
[00:33:11] <XXCoder> and glass plate for play with engraving
[02:18:22] <Deejay> moin
[02:20:52] <XXCoder> yo
[02:44:17] <yasnak> always fun to come back from an after bar and find the machines still running perfectly ;) cya'll in the morning
[02:57:12] <Deejay> hmm, sounds like midnight-milling ;)
[03:06:47] <yasnak> lol
[03:07:07] <yasnak> haven't had time to go lights out on milling / turn mills yet.
[03:16:34] <XXCoder> wow
[03:16:37] <XXCoder> hdpe melts slowly.
[03:16:47] <XXCoder> been melting it for a while now
[03:44:26] <XXCoder> its not same as hdpe, websites say it liquidifes at 350, im baking it at 370 and its still semi solid
[04:06:38] <XXCoder> lol
[04:07:09] <XXCoder> it refused to liquidify so I set temperate to 400, waited 10 minutes, and took out and just smooshed it between 2 baking cake pans
[04:07:18] <XXCoder> (my own in case you are worried)
[04:09:05] <XXCoder> I used parchment paper to keep it seperated from pan and I read hdpe REALLY sticks to metal.
[04:20:42] <XXCoder> well.
[04:20:45] <XXCoder> result: failure
[04:21:06] <XXCoder> it refused to melt properly so it is still quite lumpy and I'm pretty sure lots voids in it
[04:21:13] <XXCoder> it may be hdpe but its mixed differently.
[04:21:24] <XXCoder> I took 4 milk cartons to cut em up now
[05:11:08] <XXCoder> yo
[05:23:39] <jthornton> morning
[05:23:54] <XXCoder> yo
[05:29:59] <XXCoder> wow
[05:30:16] <XXCoder> 3 big milk cartons cut into peices take less space than i expected
[05:30:23] <XXCoder> thinners walls than soylent bottles
[05:48:04] <XXCoder> whew
[05:48:19] <XXCoder> 4 milk cartons turned to hdpe parts
[05:51:15] <jthornton> I wonder if I have some 1" x 6" CR
[05:51:20] <XXCoder> CR?
[05:52:32] <jthornton> cold roll
[05:52:35] <jthornton> steel
[05:53:05] <XXCoder> ahh
[05:53:22] <XXCoder> hmm do i try bake milk crtons now or tomorrow
[05:56:26] <XXCoder> man
[05:56:37] <XXCoder> the soylent bottle plastic feels weird
[06:06:05] <XXCoder> jthornton: so what ya planning to do with that cr
[06:12:47] <jthornton> hmm I have a piece of 3/4 x 6 CR
[06:19:23] <jthornton> http://gnipsel.com/images/press-brake/Press%20Brake.JPG
[06:19:45] <XXCoder> making brake eh
[06:19:46] <jthornton> the 1x6 CR is for the bottom but I'm thinking 3/4 will do fine
[06:20:24] <jthornton> yea, got a real punch and die so time to make an almost real press brake
[06:21:12] <gambakufu> PCW__, I saw your forum post about the rt-preempt kernel on the N3150 and was wondering what kind of latency you were getting on the servo thread? (I'm having a bit of trouble signing up to the forums)
[06:21:42] <XXCoder> nice
[06:21:53] <jthornton> what trouble are you having gambakufu
[06:22:17] <gambakufu> jthornton, not getting the confirmation email.
[06:22:22] <gambakufu> @yahoo.com
[06:24:04] <jthornton> user name gamba?
[06:24:50] <gambakufu> yes
[06:25:22] <jthornton> you have been approved and should be able to log in now
[06:26:51] <gambakufu> still getting an error: "Your sign up process is not yet complete! Please check again your email for further instructions that have just been resent"
[06:27:30] <jthornton> did you refresh the page?
[06:28:02] <jthornton> are you on a linux PC?
[06:28:46] <gambakufu> refreshed and on windows.
[06:30:50] <gambakufu> jthornton, ok I just signed up with a different name and it worked. thanks.
[06:31:24] <jthornton> ok I'll delete the other account
[06:33:48] <XXCoder> hmmm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A67zP0feEk
[06:35:30] <jthornton> wow you can heat up a paper clip
[06:35:46] <XXCoder> it was clip? thought it was just solder wire
[06:37:48] <XXCoder> captions just dont really work
[06:38:12] <XXCoder> autocaprions sometimes does, sometimes does not work
[06:38:12] <somenewguy> XXCoder, I don't think ur using ur easy bake correctly over there...
[06:38:32] <XXCoder> uh
[06:38:38] <XXCoder> ok. whatever, some random guy
[06:39:03] <somenewguy> ur supposed to bake w/ milk, not milk cartons
[06:39:33] <XXCoder> jthornton: why is guy scrubbing air from reactor jar in water?
[06:39:39] <XXCoder> to remove oxygen or what?
[06:39:39] <jthornton> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfUHmekoKlI
[06:39:51] <jthornton> I quit watching lol
[06:40:19] <XXCoder> lol ok
[06:40:35] <XXCoder> pretty cool project, just dont get full info due to sucky autocaptions
[06:40:40] <jthornton> I'm building that edge 540
[06:42:47] <XXCoder> got some more details from comments, it apparently produces toxic gas, so thats why he was sealing reactor so hard, PLUS clean gas in water
[06:44:54] <jthornton> off to the shop
[06:44:59] <XXCoder> have fun
[06:48:24] <XXCoder> http://www.cracked.com/article_15764_the-5-least-surprising-toy-recalls-all-time.html #3 lol experenced that before
[06:48:48] <XXCoder> my neices launched em to me by mistake, brised my arm lol
[06:49:03] <XXCoder> they really fly well and hit hard
[06:51:23] <XXCoder> any of you ever played with lawn darts?
[06:51:58] <malcom2073> I have, they're pretty fun
[06:52:06] <JT-Shopp> no, I had a .22
[06:52:09] <XXCoder> yeah. too bad about its lethality
[06:52:18] <malcom2073> Only if you're an idiot
[06:52:21] <malcom2073> Which... a lot of people are
[06:52:26] <gambakufu> they seem pretty out of place in that list. I mean, they don't act in an unexpected manner...
[06:52:41] <XXCoder> malcom2073: techinically all kids are
[06:52:49] <XXCoder> now if it was adults only
[06:53:03] <malcom2073> XXCoder: True, and if their parents let them play with it unsupervised, makes the parents idiots too :)
[06:53:05] <malcom2073> Much like guns
[06:53:08] <XXCoder> then there will only be "hey hold my beer and look at me" events
[06:54:45] <Jymmm> lawn darts were awesome!!!
[06:54:59] <Jymmm> I had shit aim, but wee still cool =)
[06:55:01] <XXCoder> meh only played em for a little then got bored
[06:55:13] <malcom2073> XXCoder: Were you playing with them alone?
[06:55:19] <XXCoder> I was hmm 15? dunno
[06:55:22] <XXCoder> malcom2073: hardly
[06:56:05] <Jymmm> XXCoder: DOOOD.... tie long string and spin over your head
[06:56:15] <XXCoder> okay hold my beer and look!
[06:56:39] <Jymmm> No beer involved, had 7 acres though =)
[06:56:53] <gambakufu> now hold on. let's think about this a little... it's not worth much if you don't upload it to youtube.
[06:57:03] <XXCoder> nice. did live at small farm when was young, from 11 years old to 12 years old. at arkasas
[06:57:04] <Jymmm> a bitch getting out of some trees
[06:57:28] <XXCoder> but most of my life we moved too often and was very poor lol
[06:58:22] <Jymmm> gambakufu: Fuck YT, life it to be experienced, not watched
[06:58:47] <malcom2073> Jymmm: YT isn't for watching life, it's for watching other people *waste* their lives
[06:59:16] <XXCoder> yt = youtube?
[06:59:20] <Jymmm> yes
[06:59:27] <XXCoder> heh not all is a waste of time to watch
[06:59:33] <XXCoder> some really is awesome channels
[06:59:39] <XXCoder> clickspring is one of em
[06:59:41] <Jymmm> malcom2073: thats even MORE of a loser =)
[07:00:23] <Jymmm> loser watching a loser, nope nuttin wrong with that picture =)
[07:01:00] <malcom2073> Jymmm: Don't be so hard on yourself
[07:01:13] <XXCoder> youtubes handy to show some stuff though, you guys recall my video that finally dignoised setting problems with steppers
[08:56:52] <somenewguy> is there a way to browse mesa by voltage? I need an H-bridge at 100 volts but only 1-300 watts...
[08:58:38] <MarkusBec> oehm what?
[09:02:28] <Deejay> no, watt!
[09:02:36] <somenewguy> haha
[09:02:46] <somenewguy> most of the small motor controllers are 45 volts max
[09:03:03] <somenewguy> my motor is 100 volts dc, but only needs about 300 watts to run
[09:03:07] <JT-Shopp> I guess I'm doomed forever to close the windoze 10 free popup
[09:03:15] <JT-Shopp> every day
[09:03:22] <somenewguy> I don't wanna pay $400 for what I think I need is about 150-200
[09:03:42] <somenewguy> JT-Shop: it's like the Navi of upgrades
[09:03:48] <somenewguy> hey!
[09:03:49] <somenewguy> listen!
[09:04:06] <MarkusBec> somenewguy: if you can build it, its easy ;)
[09:04:18] <MarkusBec> galvanic isolated mosfet drivers
[09:04:21] <MarkusBec> or igbts
[09:04:41] <MarkusBec> with a snubber at the output
[09:04:54] <somenewguy> MarkusBec: hahaha
[09:04:56] <somenewguy> ...
[09:05:01] <somenewguy> ok actually thats not a crazy idea
[09:05:17] <somenewguy> build my own controller, spend the money I saved on that digitize probe Ih ave been wanting
[09:06:40] <pcw_home> JT-Shopp: if you just close the windows 10 popup its installs anyway
[09:07:49] <pcw_home> (that is if you just dismiss the popup with th X you get windows 10 installed)
[09:07:51] <JT-Shop> I think it just downloads the files
[09:08:58] <pcw_home> we had it do this on 2 machines at work
[09:09:41] <JT-Shop> I still have windoze 7 installed
[09:10:06] <pcw_home> you cannot just dismiss the popup, thats what we did and got windows 10 installed
[09:10:10] <JT-Shop> but the free upgrade ends July 29th maybe it will quit bugging me then
[09:10:48] <JT-Shop> I wonder if me being on Satellite makes a difference
[09:11:25] <somenewguy> nice thing about being on ethernet is you can panic yank the cord if it seems to have started something bad lol
[09:12:24] <JT-Shop> ah if you have automatic updates enabled you will get 10
[09:12:41] <JT-Shop> I don't have auto update on either windoze machine enabled
[09:12:48] <pcw_home> Yes
[09:14:37] <pcw_home> they changed it from optional to recommended around march which means if your
[09:14:39] <pcw_home> update policies installed recommended updates you got it even if you never asked
[09:15:19] <pcw_home> basically a sneaky way to get a subscription based OS installed
[09:24:44] <enleth> JT-Shop: you'll get it even if you have automatic updates disabled
[09:24:56] <enleth> JT-Shop: use Never10 if you want to be sure
[09:25:30] <archivist> just format the disk and put linux on
[09:25:52] <enleth> well, sometimes you need that crap natively
[09:26:25] <enleth> unless you happen to be good with xen and PCI passthrough to virtualize it and expose a dedicated graphics card
[09:26:45] <archivist> I have a laptop on XP and a pc on 2k
[09:59:28] <yasnak> Must be from florida:

[11:16:00] <FloppyDisk> http://www.ebay.com/itm/HARDINGE-CNC-LATHE-CHNC-/182179563010
[11:16:37] <FloppyDisk> If I won the lottery to have time to work on that machine above, then I'd just buy a 'newer' lathe...
[11:17:04] <alex4nder> that's sick
[11:17:10] <FloppyDisk> So, I'm not sure what the point of wanting is, it's a hallucination...
[11:17:21] <FloppyDisk> just stumbled on it...
[11:17:25] <archivist> a few of those have been retrofitted
[11:18:43] <FloppyDisk> I was thinking 'from the pic', that's actually a decent price for not at auction. I bet at auction it goes for next to nothing...
[11:19:02] <FloppyDisk> You could sell the controls for several hundreds...
[11:19:58] <_methods> jt has a chnc right?
[11:20:11] <FloppyDisk> I have an old Anilam Crusader M, and I just sold the power supply for the PC (if you call it that) for $200. I'm stoked:-) it's in good shape, guy should be happy.
[11:20:43] <FloppyDisk> _methods, JT does have one and someone else on the IRC was retrofitting one (or one similar, there's different models/versions)
[11:22:41] <FloppyDisk> BTW - my advice (I am NOOO expert), is to buy stuff like that at auction. 3 Shizouka (sp?) mills in the SF BAy area, one went for $500, two went for free...
[11:23:06] <_methods> yeah auctions are definitely the way to go
[11:23:19] <archivist> old industrial is the right way of getting new toys
[11:34:23] <CaptHindsight> I usually see Hardinge CNC lathes on ebay starting at around $3k
[11:43:26] <FloppyDisk> I agree w/ old industrial - if you can be patient, you can get 'lightly' used stuff for less than the bench top stuff and better iron.
[12:37:45] <Jymmm> IAny way to repair an exterior wood door with partial striped screw holes?
[12:38:35] <archivist> yes, drill a larger hole, glue in a wooden dowel
[12:40:38] <Jymmm> archivist: Wood (oversized) versions of this work?
http://store.cincinnatidowel.com/images/products/672.jpg
[12:40:54] <Jymmm> sorry, would*
[12:41:15] <archivist> they wood
[12:41:25] <Jymmm> heh, ok cool. ty
[12:42:31] <archivist> make sure you use a waterproof glue in exterior work
[12:43:01] <Jymmm> isn't most (yellow) wood glues "waterproof" ?
[12:43:41] <archivist> I only ever see white pva glue
[12:43:53] <[cube]> the yellow stuff is pva based as well
[12:44:03] <[cube]> doesnt hold up to water at all
[12:44:06] <[cube]> speak frome xperience :x
[12:44:23] <archivist> only stuff with waterproof on the container do I trust to be waterproof
[12:44:37] <Jymmm> Looks like this is...
http://www.titebond.com/product.aspx?id=e8d40b45-0ab3-49f7-8a9c-b53970f736af
[12:44:47] <[cube]> yes if doing outside wood stuff i will use i think polyurethane glue?
[12:44:52] <[cube]> the stuff that foams up
[12:45:15] <archivist> foam is too weak
[12:45:26] <Jymmm> [cube]: I know of it, but have never used PU glues.
[12:45:43] <[cube]> Jymmm titebonsd is great
[12:45:57] <[cube]> i used the purple ployurethane stuff
[12:46:06] <Jymmm> [cube]: I've used theri "normal" wood glue before
[12:46:19] <[cube]> it expands as it cures and fills in all the little crevases
[12:46:24] <[cube]> then u just sand off
[12:46:45] <[cube]> yeah i prefer normal yellow carpenter's glue for most projects, just not outside
[12:47:03] <[cube]> http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/jeEAAMXQlgtS-gH1/s-l300.jpg
[12:47:04] <Jymmm> Yeah, doens't seem right to me for some off reason.
[12:48:07] <[cube]> you know that dissolvable 3d printer filament?
[12:48:08] <Jymmm> and is NOT UV proof.
[12:48:12] <[cube]> its made of the same pva stuff
[12:48:18] <[cube]> it's meant to dissolve in water
[12:48:46] <Jymmm> lovely
[12:56:54] <Tom_itx> Jymmm i would drill the holes out to 1/2
[12:57:09] <Tom_itx> " and insert a dowel pin in there so you have brand new wood
[12:57:16] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: That's awefully big, how come?
[12:57:28] <Tom_itx> more surface area
[12:57:31] <Tom_itx> new wood
[12:57:39] <Tom_itx> it's how i repair such things
[12:58:07] <Tom_itx> think outside the cubicle
[12:58:14] <Jymmm> 1/4 or 3/8 not enough?
[12:58:35] <Tom_itx> just like archivist said above now that i just read
[12:59:06] <Tom_itx> it's up to you
[12:59:11] <Tom_itx> not my door.
[12:59:18] <Jymmm> lol
[12:59:55] <Tom_itx> don't plug the hole, remove it
[13:00:02] <Tom_itx> and insert new wood
[13:00:23] <Tom_itx> she'll be forever grateful
[13:00:40] <Jymmm> I think I have some 1/4" orange dowel rod
[13:00:50] <Jymmm> orange wood that is
[13:00:51] <Tom_itx> barely big enough
[13:00:59] <Tom_itx> go big or go home
[13:01:20] <Jymmm> haha
[13:01:21] <archivist> you really need to clear out old damaged wood
[13:01:28] <Tom_itx> ^^
[13:01:54] <Tom_itx> by the time you insert the screw into the 1/4" dowel you won't have much new wood left
[13:02:01] <Jymmm> Yeah, I get it, just 1/2 x4 four holes seem like a lot of material to remove is all
[13:02:45] <Tom_itx> i sometimes even cut the dowel off after it's glued in place
[13:02:53] <Tom_itx> then sand it smooth if required
[13:03:25] <Jymmm> That's what I would do, wish I had a japanese saw now
[13:03:32] <Tom_itx> cut some slits on the side of the dowel to relieve the glue
[13:03:43] <[cube]> you can get wooden taps/dies that are kind of cool
[13:03:46] <[cube]> too expensive tho
[13:03:47] <Tom_itx> you'll probably still have to pound it in
[13:04:00] <[cube]> $100 for a tap/die set
[13:04:08] <[cube]> for 1 hole size
[13:04:09] <Tom_itx> she'll really like that
[13:05:00] <Tom_itx> k, enough of that. i'm out.
[13:05:11] <Jymmm> damn, EACH?! furgit that
http://www.homedepot.com/p/General-Tools-1-5-in-x-1-2-in-Fluted-Dowel-Pins-840012/202252102
[13:05:23] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: laters
[14:33:11] <andypugh> FloppyDisk: A friend has retrofitted a CHNC. I have a photo on my site, let me find it.
[14:34:11] <andypugh> https://picasaweb.google.com/108164504656404380542/Roj?authkey=Gv1sRgCJbSsrD-kfr3Hg#5951771392528865250
[14:34:39] <andypugh> He is extremely happy with the results.
[14:35:18] <FloppyDisk> andypugh - that is beautiful, I'm happy w/ his results, too:-)
[14:36:43] <FloppyDisk> I had been looking for a hardinge cnc (any of them) in NorCal, saw several in SoCal, but ended up w/ a small 9x20 chinese grizzly for now off craigslist.
[14:36:59] <FloppyDisk> I don't use it much:-( so good for me at the moment.
[14:37:11] <andypugh> By results, I meant the next few pics, stepped test cuts micing up at 10.000, 15.000, 20.000, 22.000
[14:37:35] <miss0r> removing a 40 year old paper gasket by hand... that combined with a thunderstorm rolling in = me sweating like a pig
[14:43:13] <cpresser> andypugh: really nice shop!
[14:43:50] <miss0r> andypugh: can you post link again`?
[14:45:01] <cpresser> miss0r:
https://picasaweb.google.com/108164504656404380542/Roj?authkey=Gv1sRgCJbSsrD-kfr3Hg#5951771392528865250
[14:46:30] <miss0r> damn that is tidy! nothing like mine...
[14:48:35] <Jymmm> Hmmm, once O do the dowel thing, think a threaded insert would be a good idea™?
[14:51:29] <FloppyDisk> I love the part filled in w/ ______ (looks like foam). What a great idea to be able to work on it.
[14:51:50] <FloppyDisk> Oh, never mind, it's not filled in...
[14:57:02] <miss0r> cpresser: You have me curious - what does your shop look like ? pics?
[14:59:07] <cpresser> miss0r: i dont have current pictures
[14:59:48] <cpresser> miss0r: and since i am sharing the shop, its not only up to me to clean and tidy
[15:00:38] <miss0r> cpresser: That can be tough I guess. I have my own shop, but I am also struggeling to keep it tidy - but I can't compare to andypugh
[15:02:43] <cpresser> miss0r: but I am moving out.. my mate and me have different views on how to clean up
[15:03:37] <miss0r> cpresser: I hear'ya. A friend of mine comes in once a week to work on the lathe(he was ofc. thriled when I got the new one last week), but 'leave the machine how you like to find it', well - apparently he likes to start with a mess
[15:04:03] <miss0r> and I dont - so theres a somewhat agreement gap there
[15:05:04] <miss0r> hahaha. speaking of the 'new' lathe; apparently the lubrication system in there is a "paddle wheel" located in the bottom, that sortof just throws oil romdomly around
[15:05:57] <miss0r> is that common practice guys? have you seen that before?
[15:27:06] <JT-Shop> bent the arbor on my jacobs chuck any ideas on how to get it out?
[15:42:00] <_methods> ouch
[15:43:11] <_methods> can you disassemble the chuck with the arbor stuck in there?
[15:43:19] <JT-Shop> yea 5/16 bit broke off in the lathe and you could see the chuck shake as I hit the stop
[15:43:34] <_methods> you might be able to pull apart as much as you can then press out the arbor
[15:45:00] <JT-Shop> it's this chuck

[15:46:17] <_methods> i think those are the instructions to disassemble it
[15:46:26] <andypugh> You typically extract the taper with taper extraction wedges.
[15:46:34] <_methods> once you get off that lower part you can probably press out the arbor
[15:47:29] <andypugh> You need the right size:

[15:48:10] <andypugh> I think that the JT taper is normally into a blind bore.
[15:48:11] <JT-Shop> it has a 5/8 straight arbor
[15:48:19] <JT-Shop> and yea it's blind
[15:48:40] <JT-Shop> nothing to wedge against unless I put it back in the holder :)
[15:48:47] <andypugh> You may need to weld on a collar and then use wedges then
[15:49:03] <_methods> it's not blind once you pull off the lower assy
[15:49:17] <_methods> you can press it out from the jaw side once it's taken apart
[15:49:34] <andypugh> Or, cut it off flush. grip a rod held on the lathe with the chuck jaws and machine out the tapir.
[15:50:16] <JT-Shop> this one is blind for sure
[15:50:30] <_methods> did you disassemble it?
[15:50:36] <JT-Shop> I can put it back in the holder and get it out
[15:50:46] <JT-Shop> don't know how to take it apart
[15:50:54] <_methods> you have to remove the fixed ring
[15:50:57] <JT-Shop> it's a keyless chuck
[15:51:01] <_methods> then unscrew the 2 halves
[15:51:03] <andypugh> miss0r: That picture was _not_ my shop. My shop is a sty.
[15:51:39] <_methods> the instructions to disassemble your chuck are in that link i posted
[15:52:03] <JT-Shop> ah missed the link
[15:52:15] <_methods> need me to repost it?
[15:52:18] <miss0r> andypugh: sty?
[15:52:33] <miss0r> oh - as in pigs sty
[15:52:36] <miss0r> heh
[15:52:38] <andypugh> Yes.
[15:52:51] <miss0r> andypugh: worse than mine ? :o
[15:53:20] <JT-Shop> thanks for the link
[15:53:27] <_methods> np
[15:53:35] <_methods> i had to do that to one of mine one time
[15:53:41] <JT-Shop> I'll just wait till I get a new arbor to take it apart so I don't loose any parts lol
[15:53:51] <andypugh> Well, the flood last week separated the metal swarf on the floor from the plastic swarf.
[15:53:53] <_methods> yeah be ready to catch ball bearings lol
[15:54:13] <_methods> do it over a plastic bin or something
[15:54:19] <miss0r> andypugh: ouch! sorry to hear. much damage?
[15:54:51] <andypugh> I don't think so. It only floods about 1" deep and I just keep stuff off the floor.
[15:55:53] <miss0r> even so. thats gonna mean elevated air humidity in there - thats not good for the machines
[15:57:12] <miss0r> thats a bigger problem in here in Denmark than most realize - no matter where you go, it relatively close to the ocean, so salt is always in the air, in different concentrations, also - in the winter we spead salt on the roads to de-ice them... you can imagine what that does to the cars
[15:58:34] <miss0r> if I were you i'd run in there with some oil in a hand mister and give everything a good layer - if you haven't already
[16:02:30] <andypugh> I am just glad that I had (randomly) picked up all the lathe chucks (4 of them) and put them back in the cupboard.
[16:16:13] <thomaxo> Hi people!
[16:16:30] <thomaxo> Not a linux-cnc related question, but a heidenhain related question.
[16:16:36] <thomaxo> Does anyone have experience with those?
[16:17:56] <jdh> ask and find out
[16:18:37] <thomaxo> I suppose it could be more general, i'm looking to create more complex curves in CNC, not limited to circles and straight lines, (without splitting the curve in 1000 and 1 points) using spline data. Heidenhain can apparently accept such data.
[16:18:54] <thomaxo> The question would be, how do i retrieve such data from CAD documents?
[16:19:05] <thomaxo> which probably should lead me to a rhino forum :)
[16:21:00] <thomaxo> oops, closed IRC, if i missed anything?
[16:21:09] <JT-Shop> might want to read up on our G5
[16:23:10] <thomaxo> hmm yes, G5 is a cubic spline, exactly what heidenhain accepts. I'll google a bit on that. Thanks!

[18:20:47] <andypugh> Thomaxo: The SVG file format supports splines. So saving 9and drawing) the profle in Inkscape (for example) might get you part-way there. SVG to G-code ought to be quite a simple filter.
