[02:16:57] <XXCoder> whew
[02:17:12] <XXCoder> so far, frame is done, X and Y is done
[02:17:23] <XXCoder> "tool holder" and its tooltip is done
[02:17:49] <XXCoder> well tool isnt done, as its defined but not placed yet as I havent made Z assembly yet

[03:08:41] <XXCoder> hey
[03:08:52] <XXCoder> making screenshot a second
[03:09:45] <XXCoder> https://imgur.com
[03:10:19] <XXCoder> i just finisged vismach
[03:10:29] <XXCoder> just need to figure how to use it in first place, in linuxcnc
[03:12:38] <XXCoder> Deejay:
[03:12:48] -!- gloops has joined #linuxcnc
[03:12:54] <XXCoder> hey gloops https://imgur.com
[03:13:44] <gloops> is this yours XXCoder?
[03:13:52] <XXCoder> yep
[03:14:13] <XXCoder> took me few hours to make it
[03:14:27] <XXCoder> nothing like making it myself to make me understand how to build machine!
[03:14:53] <gloops> lol, is it a plan for a real build then?
[03:14:57] <XXCoder> no
[03:15:05] <XXCoder> understanding vismac
[03:15:08] <XXCoder> vismach
[03:15:18] <XXCoder> unfortunately im not done yet
[03:15:19] <gloops> ahh, well its good for getting your head round the principles
[03:15:31] <XXCoder> I still need to figure how to get lkinuxcnc to connect to ut
[03:15:36] <XXCoder> and operate it as machine
[03:16:00] <gloops> yeah not something ive tried
[03:16:24] <XXCoder> its almost lost art
[03:16:39] <XXCoder> theres info on machine creation, and almost none on actually using it.
[03:17:27] <gloops> https://www.youtube.com
[03:17:34] <gloops> could add toolchanger
[03:17:41] <XXCoder> sure but I dont plan to
[03:18:02] <XXCoder> mine is simple for tutorial
[03:18:05] <gloops> i think ive seen vids by cradek
[03:18:08] <XXCoder> I plan to make basic cnc router also
[03:18:30] <gloops> tutorial online would be good if there are none now
[03:18:33] <XXCoder> my machine idea is from that one btw
[03:19:11] <XXCoder> mine is very simple because it teaches basics
[03:19:17] <XXCoder> router I will import obj files and so on

[03:21:46] <XXCoder> jt's version of vismach page is very helpful
[03:21:54] <XXCoder> I think its jt's anyway
[03:21:57] <gloops> well there does seem to be a big empty space for linuxcnc tutorials now ichs channel has gone
[03:22:06] <XXCoder> theres other one thats far more updated but missing lot of info
[03:22:40] <XXCoder> yeah if I had a shop and lot more time I'd as well do it
[03:22:47] <XXCoder> but I cant afford to do it sadly
[03:23:08] <XXCoder> shop would cost $50,000 or so
[03:23:22] <XXCoder> more when electricity is factored in
[03:23:47] <XXCoder> plus once its setup I'd need more time, which translates to expense. :(
[03:24:07] -!- swarfer has quit [Quit: swarfer]
[03:24:24] <XXCoder> ich had tons of time as he was mostly retired
[03:25:02] <XXCoder> you got around 50 million bucks? lol plus $60,000 to complete shop? lol
[03:25:55] <gloops> yeah the time factor is important
[03:26:23] <XXCoder> 50 million is where I figure interest alone would support me
[03:26:32] <gloops> 50 000 to build a shop and equip it?
[03:26:40] <gloops> or do you already have a space
[03:27:01] <XXCoder> has land space for it but its not built
[03:27:08] <XXCoder> we planned to do it this year
[03:27:18] <XXCoder> but house problems blew it up
[03:27:46] <gloops> yeah theres always something else
[03:28:10] <XXCoder> now making new HAL :)
[03:28:37] <gloops> lol, id love to get into it, a thousand others things to get going first though
[03:29:26] <gloops> going to knock some boxes out this weekend, also got 50 small stamps to make
[03:30:18] <gloops> even when you have a working machine you never have time to get it to the stage where its a going concern lol
[03:30:37] <XXCoder> i plan to use mine for enjoyment alone really
[03:30:42] <XXCoder> maybe sell artworks done with it
[03:30:48] <XXCoder> but not professional machining
[03:31:38] <gloops> well if you start putting artworks on display it wont be long before enquiries start
[03:31:52] <XXCoder> yeah
[03:34:13] <gloops> then theres different techniques and ways of doing things to work out, 5 different cam software to learn, drawing apps, finishing everything lol
[03:35:47] <XXCoder> my machine workspace is apparently 1000mm, 200mm, unknownmm
[03:35:56] <XXCoder> I am figuring on Z right now
[03:37:18] <gloops> does this take any deflection calculations into consideration, stresses, speeds etc
[03:37:25] <gloops> like a real test of a design
[03:37:27] <XXCoder> nope its infinitely hard machine
[03:37:34] <gloops> ah ok
[03:37:41] <XXCoder> I think it actually detects impacts though
[03:37:45] <XXCoder> like tool on body of machine
[03:38:02] <gloops> even that is useful though
[03:38:12] <XXCoder> or part on other part
[03:39:15] <XXCoder> 400 - 160 lets see
[03:39:25] <XXCoder> looks like height is 240
[03:42:12] <XXCoder> -240 to 0 mm
[03:42:26] <XXCoder> its pretty good for made up machine
[03:42:35] <XXCoder> 1m width, 200 Y and 240 Z
[03:43:05] <gloops> useful work envelope
[03:43:23] <XXCoder> its not huge but definitely usable lol
[03:43:42] <XXCoder> I was thinking one of those small machines when I designed it
[03:48:48] <XXCoder> drat! first run failed
[03:48:57] <XXCoder> it successfully loaded my mill
[03:49:15] <XXCoder> but it crashed on something I think I misconfigured pin to joints in mill
[03:49:35] <XXCoder> it keeps saying "waiting for s.axws"

[03:54:39] <XXCoder> I dont understand HAL enough to see what I did wrong
[03:54:43] <XXCoder> you?
[03:58:07] <gloops> not come accross that message before
[03:58:31] <XXCoder> still figuring HAL
[03:58:41] <gloops> my little knowledge of HAL is mostly where ive had a specific problem lol
[03:58:45] <XXCoder> in example net j0 axis.0.joint-pos-fb 5axisgui.joint0
[03:59:16] <XXCoder> last one is link to vismach file

[03:59:22] <XXCoder> second to last is unknown
[03:59:28] <XXCoder> its never named elsewhere in HAL
[04:00:34] <rmu> if somebody is interested: asus tinkerboard with 4.14.81-rt41 seems to have decent latency, s=3.8, max about +-100, after 6 hours parallel to some compiling, chromium browser and apt-get updating the system
[04:00:48] <rmu> without isolcpus or any other optimization tricks
[04:01:12] <XXCoder> 3.8 seconds?
[04:01:27] <rmu> µs
[04:01:41] <rmu> std-dev is 3.8 us
[04:01:44] <XXCoder> if I recall good range is 15000 to 50000
[04:01:54] <XXCoder> what did you get?
[04:02:31] <rmu> my units are us, yours obviously ns
[04:03:12] <XXCoder> hmm can you translate it to ns?
[04:03:26] <rmu> 1 us = 1000 ns
[04:03:34] <XXCoder> so its decent indeed
[04:03:51] <rmu> sufficient for 1khz servo thread
[04:03:59] <XXCoder> slightly worse than my pc but then that ones one board pc right?
[04:04:09] <rmu> yes
[04:04:22] <XXCoder> usrrmot: error: command timeout
[04:04:28] <rmu> feels very fast, this really is useable for web-browsing
[04:04:30] <XXCoder> bah i dont know what im doing with hal
[04:04:39] <rmu> 2gig ram and emmc
[04:04:53] <XXCoder> wow all in one linuxcnc package
[04:05:19] <rmu> will hook up the mesa 7i90 later today
[04:06:12] <rmu> it is about 2 times the price of a rpi with sd-card, but it seems worth it
[04:06:50] <XXCoder> okay its linuxcnc error not related with vismach
[04:08:01] <XXCoder> of course! my computer is sim only, no rt
[04:12:53] <XXCoder> rmu: seems so
[04:13:04] <XXCoder> there is one kickstarter one that seems very strong
[04:13:08] <XXCoder> dual 4 core cpus
[04:13:26] <XXCoder> maybe plenty of power for linuxcnc but as large as raspiberry pi
[04:14:08] <XXCoder> https://www.kickstarter.com
[04:14:31] <XXCoder> dont think its same ine. not sure

[04:35:41] <XXCoder> its olvious issue with my ini or hal
[04:35:46] <XXCoder> not figured what yet.

[04:57:31] <rmu> for "real" applications you want eMMC in a SBC and not multi-bits-per-cell SD-cards. there are industrial sd-cards with improved durability, but they are expensive

[05:56:15] <XXCoder> wb
[05:56:38] <jthornton> morning
[05:56:47] <XXCoder> hey jthornton good news
[05:56:59] <XXCoder> I found example of actually showing tool in viscnc
[05:57:04] <XXCoder> vismach
[05:57:11] <jthornton> cool, where at
[05:57:19] <XXCoder> hbm
[05:57:31] <XXCoder> its at /usr/share/doc/linuxcnc/examples/sample-configs/sim/axis/vismach/
[05:57:43] <XXCoder> most examples is broken
[05:58:04] <XXCoder> but... https://imgur.com
[05:58:06] <XXCoder> check it out
[05:58:39] <XXCoder> ill be back in couple minutes has cold stuff to put aaway
[05:58:48] <jthornton> ok
[06:00:17] -!- syyl_ has joined #linuxcnc
[06:03:01] <XXCoder> back
[06:03:11] <XXCoder> what ya think of machine I designed
[06:03:21] -!- syyl has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]
[06:03:30] <jthornton> nice and simple and I like simple for examples
[06:03:35] <XXCoder> indeed
[06:03:45] <jthornton> did you make it from primitives?
[06:03:49] <XXCoder> I think I will use obj loading example in cnc router, for second example
[06:03:54] <XXCoder> yep
[06:04:22] <XXCoder> unfortunately its not all flowers
[06:04:37] <XXCoder> I am unable to run simple 3 axis machine I made with stepgen
[06:04:40] <XXCoder> very strange errors
[06:04:59] <XXCoder> its same if I include vismach or not
[06:06:18] <jthornton> I usually just modify the axis sim
[06:06:34] <XXCoder> I probably will, right now just snacking a little
[06:10:05] <XXCoder> hbm HAL is bit odd though
[06:10:33] <XXCoder> it sets fixed tool diameter and length, but line right below that grabs tool length data and sends it to vismach
[06:10:38] <XXCoder> but that is commented out
[06:10:47] -!- Wolf__ has joined #linuxcnc
[06:10:54] <XXCoder> maybe its bugged or maybe it was old version that was bugged
[06:11:08] <XXCoder> plan to play around once I get my machine actually "running"
[06:14:00] <XXCoder> jthornton: I also has theory that I havent followed up and tested yet
[06:14:17] <XXCoder> tooltip definition starts at 0,0,0 and is pointing downwards
[06:14:34] -!- P1ersson_ has joined #linuxcnc
[06:14:44] <XXCoder> so you gonna place part it will be attached to it there, group together, then tool moves with group
[06:15:34] <XXCoder> I hope its downwards, as it would be lot more fun if its upwards
[06:18:39] -!- veek has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[06:32:53] <jthornton> XXCoder: that 15" touch screen is really nice and big enough I can see everything lol
[06:33:17] <XXCoder> for chicken door controls?
[06:33:58] <jthornton> for general RPi programming, the 7" one is for the chicken door as it will just have the stats and some manual buttons on it
[06:38:42] -!- m0n5t3r has joined #linuxcnc
[06:38:46] <jthornton> going on a little vacation today to beaver lake arkansas
[06:38:58] <XXCoder> makes sense
[06:39:08] <XXCoder> yeah? having a nice vacation eh :(
[06:39:09] -!- holzjunkie1 has joined #linuxcnc
[06:39:12] <XXCoder> err :)
[06:40:47] <jthornton> yea just some get away time for us to relax
[06:41:04] <Deejay> going fishing?
[06:41:16] <XXCoder> nice. and yep people need that sometimes
[06:41:31] <jthornton> no, but that is a good fishing lake
[06:41:50] <Deejay> :) hope you have a good time

[06:43:31] <jthornton> we are staying here http://pointewestmotel.com
[06:49:04] <XXCoder> jthornton: it runs!
[06:49:11] <XXCoder> testing stuff tho
[06:49:41] <jthornton> cool
[06:50:17] <XXCoder> running linuxcnc logo gcode now
[06:51:38] <XXCoder> its running! while I dont know where tool is pointing due to it being zero length, it works.
[06:51:52] <XXCoder> location looks correct tho
[06:52:06] <XXCoder> its exgraving at exact center of "tool holder"
[06:54:07] <XXCoder> https://imgur.com refresh
[06:55:57] <jthornton> making progress!
[06:57:00] <XXCoder> yeah. I should make table 100mm wider on both sides though so it dont look dangerously moving off y block lol

[07:01:54] <XXCoder> its seriously gratifing to see machine run after hours of "building"
[07:04:47] <jthornton> we get this documented so anyone can follow along it will be much easier for newbee's to try linuxcnc
[07:05:28] -!- justanotheruser has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[07:05:35] <XXCoder> indeed
[07:06:13] <XXCoder> 133 lines
[07:06:21] <XXCoder> thats how large my machine file is
[07:06:34] <XXCoder> granted, its heavily commented
[07:06:56] <jthornton> that's not that big
[07:07:14] <XXCoder> it is to me, since its 100% typed by me. not one line was copy pasted
[07:07:52] <XXCoder> im still not certain if work can be defined by linuxcnc
[07:07:58] <XXCoder> ie stock block
[07:08:15] <XXCoder> even with my discovery its hard to figure tool also
[07:08:29] <XXCoder> man
[07:08:51] <XXCoder> linuxcnc example should be split into "techinical examples" and "fun visual examples"
[07:09:37] -!- holzjunkie1 has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
[07:23:39] <XXCoder> umm
[07:23:59] <XXCoder> jthornton: maybe im a dumbass, I set g28 x500. and it goes there, but then returns to home?
[07:24:03] <XXCoder> what am I missing?
[07:25:35] <jthornton> G28 axes - makes a rapid move to the position specified by axes including any offsets, then will make a rapid move to the absolute position of the values in parameters 5161-5166 for all axes specified.
[07:26:10] <jthornton> what did you want it to do?
[07:26:17] <XXCoder> just move to end of table
[07:26:41] -!- JesusAlos has quit [Quit: JesusAlos]
[07:27:16] <jthornton> G0 X500
[07:27:44] <XXCoder> that would work but wouldnt it go past if it wasnt at zero but bit to right?
[07:28:53] <jthornton> G28?
[07:29:17] <XXCoder> g28 g0 x500.?
[07:29:47] <XXCoder> note I understand gcode in most cases as its simple but I always thought g28 is simply use machine coord?
[07:30:06] <jthornton> G28 is go to predefined position I don't think you can use G0 on the same line
[07:30:27] <XXCoder> hmm I guess I wasnt understanding g28 correctly
[07:30:36] <jthornton> ah no G53 G0 X500 go to absolute position
[07:30:47] <jthornton> absolute machine position
[07:30:57] <XXCoder> ahh yeah. some machines has g53 as machine position
[07:31:02] <jthornton> http://linuxcnc.org
[07:31:05] <XXCoder> unfortunately not all
[07:31:15] <jthornton> http://linuxcnc.org
[07:31:56] <jthornton> yea once you get past G0 and G1 G code will change and even G0 can be different lol
[07:32:38] <XXCoder> I dont have any gcode exmaple that actually use tool height comp
[07:32:39] <XXCoder> h
[07:32:40] <jthornton> G0 some place in linuxcnc is a coordinated move while in my DX32 controller it is move Z first then move XY

[07:41:34] <Tom_L> morning
[07:41:37] <XXCoder> odd
[07:41:46] <XXCoder> something broken with my HAL or machine file
[07:42:04] <XXCoder> tool change causes excessive postive z movement
[07:43:07] <XXCoder> ah net tool-prep-loop iocontrol.0.tool-prepare iocontrol.0.tool-prepared
[07:43:09] <jthornton> morning
[07:43:13] <XXCoder> left over from axis example
[07:43:15] <XXCoder> hey Tom_L
[07:43:25] <XXCoder> did you see imgur link? pretty awesome
[07:43:33] <Tom_L> yes
[07:43:45] <Tom_L> pretty cool
[07:43:46] <XXCoder> how do I change those so it works?
[07:44:09] <Tom_L> take a look at andy's carousel demo
[07:44:36] <jthornton> hmm the internet says I can just connect the laptop to the RPi with a network cable and the RPi is smart enough to sort it out
[07:44:36] <Tom_L> don't remembe where it is off hand but it's out there
[07:45:01] <Tom_L> with a name like that....?
[07:45:26] <XXCoder> isnt that automated?
[07:45:29] <Tom_L> now maybe if it were apple pi or something..
[07:45:45] <Tom_L> err no, that name's taken
[07:46:09] <Tom_L> XXCoder i'm not sure
[07:47:31] <jthornton> VMC_Toolchange in the Axis Sim section
[07:47:36] <Tom_L> jthornton, goin thru eureka springs on the way?
[07:48:07] <jthornton> aye

[07:55:57] -!- gloops has joined #linuxcnc
[07:56:51] <XXCoder> jthornton: only thing left is tooltip, as it doesnt change machine head position with tool length
[07:57:09] <XXCoder> so its still on surface of "collet"
[07:59:01] <XXCoder> what hbm does is have two pins:
[07:59:07] <XXCoder> c.newpin("tool-length", hal.HAL_FLOAT, hal.HAL_IN) and other for diameter
[08:00:14] <XXCoder> in HAL it has this: setp hbmgui.tool-length 2
[08:00:27] <XXCoder> fixed size but theres also commented out code:
[08:00:32] <XXCoder> #net tool-len motion.tooloffset.w hbmgui.tool-length

[08:24:55] -!- CubicleNate has joined #linuxcnc
[08:26:05] <XXCoder> hey
[08:29:57] <weenerdog> what kinda stuff do you make?
[08:30:18] <XXCoder> me? lots random stuff I dont know anything about
[08:34:18] <weenerdog> cool
[08:36:31] <weenerdog> i'm weighing buy vs. build for a home setup.
[08:38:12] <weenerdog> or buy smaller one and use it to build a bigger one :)
[08:38:30] <XXCoder> yeah thats a possibility also. mill router or other?
[08:39:52] <weenerdog> router. i do intricate woodwork. and it starts with 3d drawings anyway. i just print the drawings as a topo map and rout right thru the paper to the line, reset depth, go to next line. making me kinda the nc controller :)
[08:40:26] <XXCoder> wood + router = easiest one you can do
[08:41:05] <weenerdog> ja it aint really rocket surgery. plenty of info.
[08:41:31] <gregcnc> have you checked to see what kind of machines are available?
[08:41:35] <weenerdog> yeah
[08:41:52] <gregcnc> is your time worth building one?
[08:43:22] <weenerdog> well i raise christmas trees and work in tourism so my winters are kinda idle. i have the time.
[08:44:10] <gregcnc> vs time making whatever the machine is going to make?
[08:44:46] <gregcnc> if it's business it's one thing, if it's starting as a hobby or testing the waters that's another
[08:45:58] <weenerdog> well i'm thinking buy the smallest that will do what i need to do immediately and use it to make a bigger one over time.
[08:46:28] <weenerdog> it is a business and a 2'x2' will pay for itself quickly
[08:47:42] <weenerdog> and the parts i will do with cnc are already nurbs surfaces, so thats in the bag
[08:49:08] <weenerdog> like i said, i just intersect the nurbs surfaces with planes at 1/32" intervals and print it out and route thru the paper. so i dont have to deal with getting my stuff ready to carve too much. cnc just makes sense. big time saver.
[08:50:13] <gregcnc> people do a lot with small routers. you know the scale of what you're doing and what it may be going forward
[08:50:48] <weenerdog> it needs to handle an archtop guitar body. i make them and mandolins.
[08:52:49] <gregcnc> are there multiple tools involved?
[08:53:40] <XXCoder> jthornton: man
[08:53:51] <XXCoder> it took forever for me to figure how the heck tool thing works
[08:54:06] <XXCoder> its still messed up but in least machine is displaying again
[08:54:27] <weenerdog> nah not really. one round nose router bit will do the part that would save me the biggest time
[08:55:12] <weenerdog> eventually i would like to automate more of the thing but carving the soundboards is the biggie. think a very precise dish front and back
[08:56:36] <Rab> weenerdog, what's the tool diameter? And do you use like a palm router, or a big 1.5HP thing?
[08:56:55] <weenerdog> big one now. but a palm router would do it
[08:56:59] <Rab> (This sounds like light work, but thought I'd ask)
[08:57:03] <weenerdog> it is
[08:57:10] <weenerdog> spruce and maple
[08:57:34] <weenerdog> like dat https://beta-static.photobucket.com
[08:58:03] <Rab> weenerdog, you say a 2x2 router would pay for itself quickly. Are you calculating that on a $1K machine cost, $2K, $5K?
[08:58:53] <weenerdog> doesn't matter really. they sell for a lot.
[08:59:27] <weenerdog> $2k, a couple pieces and i'd be flush
[08:59:27] <Rab> Do you have high production volume? Like are you bounded only by how fast you can produce now?
[08:59:30] <weenerdog> no
[09:00:03] <weenerdog> low. it takes me about 60 hrs of handwork each. thus my desire for a computer controlled employee :)
[09:00:23] <XXCoder> jthornton: almost got it! its engraving at correct spot, but tool cylinder is pointing other way!
[09:00:55] <Rab> weenerdog, for sure. But could you sell more if you could produce faster? I guess there's still considerable manual labor in sanding and finishing.
[09:01:41] <weenerdog> oh the soundboards would still have considerable handwork. i just want to do the rough carving.
[09:02:25] <weenerdog> https://beta-static.photobucket.com <--- the final work is i actually tune the whole assembly so each of those skinny braces produces a different specific tone when tapped.
[09:03:16] <weenerdog> and now you know more than the average bear about how a mandolin is put together :)
[09:03:23] <XXCoder> its working! yay :) now to test it with defined tool info rather than hardcoded
[09:03:55] <Rab> weenerdog, I suppose I would steer away from a DIY project unless that's interesting to you. It could take months or a year to have a usable machine, and that activity will take time from your actual business. Any money saved would be canceled out by lost production, and then some.
[09:04:27] <weenerdog> well it would certainly be a detour
[09:04:34] <Rab> weenerdog, nice. Any pics of finished instruments?
[09:04:40] <weenerdog> sure

[09:20:55] <XXCoder> x to w, diam etc
[09:22:52] <XXCoder> tool length updates work now!
[09:23:04] <XXCoder> if only I knew how to get tool diameter or radius
[09:23:12] <XXCoder> then it is done period lol
[09:23:43] <weenerdog> that last 100 yards :)
[09:23:48] <XXCoder> yeah

[09:29:15] <weenerdog> damn i bet meatball burgers are good
[09:29:38] <weenerdog> you just got about 1000 man points for that one
[09:29:50] <MarcelineVQ> XXCoder: are you trying to get the dia from the tool table?
[09:30:03] <XXCoder> in HAL yeah
[09:30:20] <XXCoder> motion.tooloffset.z is for z offset, but theres nothing on diameter so far
[09:31:17] <weenerdog> there is no screw off job like 2nd shift wire operator.
[09:31:34] <XXCoder> its probably not in tooloffset group but there is NO listing of aviliable info anywhere anyway
[09:33:06] <XXCoder> umm http://www.machinekit.io
[09:35:53] <MarcelineVQ> in 2.8+ halui has tool diameter info http://linuxcnc.org I don't know where it gets that from though
[09:36:39] <XXCoder> halui.tool.diameter
[09:36:41] <XXCoder> might work
[09:37:09] <XXCoder> looks like no
[09:38:04] <MarcelineVQ> What is the goal?
[09:38:32] <XXCoder> somehow get diameter value in HAL
[09:38:41] <XXCoder> so my machine can correctly display tool diameter
[09:40:05] <XXCoder> it does exist apparently
[09:40:12] <XXCoder> halui anyway
[09:40:25] <XXCoder> diameter one dont seem to work though or maybe im just using it wronmg
[09:41:22] <MarcelineVQ> check tool number to see if it's looking at the right one, then check to see if that dia is filled in on the tool table. that's all I got hehe, never done that stuff myself
[09:41:45] <MarcelineVQ> fwiw found that hal info via grep -ira "diam" ./docs/man
[09:42:52] <XXCoder> in what directory?
[09:43:08] <MarcelineVQ> the linuxcnc source dir
[09:43:21] <MarcelineVQ> rather, the main dir of linuxcnc if you grab the source
[09:43:25] <MarcelineVQ> not like, src/ dir
[09:45:30] -!- Sabotender has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[09:46:27] <XXCoder> it needs NMI file
[09:46:33] <XXCoder> *NML
[09:46:38] <XXCoder> dunno what it ius
[09:46:48] <gregcnc> tool diameter is in the tool table, where else could it come from?
[09:47:20] <XXCoder> gregcnc: yeah but I cant find a way to get it in HAL
[09:47:28] <XXCoder> so it can send info to vismach to render
[09:47:43] <XXCoder> lthis one works correctly for length:

[09:59:40] <XXCoder> 5410?

[10:05:19] <XXCoder> how do I access it in HAL if so?

[10:20:17] <MarcelineVQ> could be worth checking with a newer version
[10:20:45] <MarcelineVQ> https://en.wikipedia.org
[10:21:11] -!- candyonetoo has joined #linuxcnc
[10:21:13] <XXCoder> oh. well this is page been reading https://github.com
[10:21:15] <MarcelineVQ> that escape characters depend on the langguage
[10:21:19] <MarcelineVQ> *though escape
[10:21:50] <MarcelineVQ> But is that the version of software you have
[10:22:12] <XXCoder> a second
[10:22:48] <XXCoder> 2.7.14-47
[10:23:20] <MarcelineVQ> you goofer, I said earlier that documentation is for 2.8 and newer :>
[10:23:53] <XXCoder> isnt 2.28 still unstable?
[10:23:57] <XXCoder> 2.8
[10:24:07] <XXCoder> so there is nothing for 2.7?
[10:24:09] <MarcelineVQ> dev doesn't mean unstable, though it does mean the potential is higher
[10:25:05] <MarcelineVQ> Realistically it can also means the potential is lower, come to think of it. dev just means things are being changed more often
[10:25:18] <XXCoder> gmoccapy.tool-diameter doesnt work either drat
[10:26:23] <Tom_itx> you're not cutting chips so i'd use 2.8 for your testing
[10:26:35] -!- vuko has joined #linuxcnc
[10:26:36] <Tom_itx> even so, i think 2.8 would cut chips
[10:26:48] <XXCoder> I dont want examples that specify latest only
[10:27:02] <XXCoder> I suppose can always just set tool diameter to 10 and leave it there
[10:27:28] <XXCoder> with commented out halai diameter line
[10:27:49] <XXCoder> can HAL grab any of gcode parameter like 5410?
[10:30:14] <XXCoder> lol https://forum.linuxcnc.org this is exactly opposite direction
[10:31:12] <Tom_itx> http://linuxcnc.org
[10:31:26] <XXCoder> indeed
[10:31:34] <XXCoder> its for usage in gcode unfortunately not hal file
[10:31:40] <XXCoder> unless im wrong
[10:31:54] <Tom_itx> why do you need it in the hal file?
[10:32:09] <XXCoder> vismach tool display
[10:32:15] <XXCoder> I got length down but not diameter
[10:32:25] <Tom_itx> how did you do length?
[10:32:36] <XXCoder> net tool_len motion.tooloffset.z rolfmill.toollength
[10:34:54] <Tom_itx> have you tried using x or y?
[10:35:10] <XXCoder> would that change with diameter? ok ill try
[10:35:17] <Tom_itx> i dunno
[10:35:21] <Tom_itx> but it's in that workplane
[10:36:07] -!- ChunkyPuffs has joined #linuxcnc
[10:40:10] <XXCoder> guess not
[10:40:36] <Tom_itx> it doesn't alter the diameter, rather the path offset so i can see why it wouldn't work
[10:42:10] <XXCoder> http://linuxcnc.org moton group
[10:43:03] <jthornton> XXCoder: I'll catch up with you this evening, loading up the car to head out
[10:43:11] <XXCoder> jthornton: later :)
[10:43:24] <Tom_itx> have fun
[10:47:41] <Tom_itx> length is a part of motion but diameter is a mystery to me
[10:48:13] <XXCoder> 2.8 does seem to have HAL for diameter
[10:48:16] <XXCoder> but not 2.7
[10:48:18] <weenerdog> that has to be frustrating
[10:50:18] <MarcelineVQ> 2.8 reads it right from the tooltable https://github.com
[10:50:59] <XXCoder> interesting
[10:51:18] <XXCoder> can HAL handle differently based on linuxcnc version?
[10:51:41] <XXCoder> say if 2.7 just give fixed diameter, if 2.8 use this line?
[10:52:08] <MarcelineVQ> you could, with python, maybe with haltcl. I'm not sure since I don't know how to use tcl
[10:53:36] <MarcelineVQ> https://www.forum.linuxcnc.org
[10:54:49] <XXCoder> hmm cool but ill just set fixed size and comment out the 2.8 versionb
[10:54:56] <XXCoder> show what is possible in 2.7 as well as 2.8
[10:55:45] <Tom_itx> you're not in the devel channel are you?
[10:55:51] <XXCoder> no
[10:56:11] <Tom_itx> http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81
[10:56:16] <Tom_itx> last comment
[10:57:02] <Tom_itx> but you can't address G codes from hal can you?
[10:57:04] -!- bji has joined #linuxcnc
[10:57:32] <XXCoder> yeah and special gcode in order to make vismach work slightly better isnt really worth effort also
[10:57:52] <Tom_itx> read the var from hal
[10:57:57] <Tom_itx> #5410
[10:58:11] <XXCoder> how do I do that?
[11:01:11] <Tom_itx> when hal is started there are not tools loaded so the value would be zero anyway
[11:01:18] <Tom_itx> i'm not sure there is a way
[11:01:37] <Tom_itx> s/not/no
[11:02:28] <Tom_itx> i think you may be stuck giving it an arbitrary value
[11:02:43] <XXCoder> yeah
[11:02:56] <XXCoder> with that gone whats left is work.
[11:03:02] <XXCoder> I dont know what to do with that
[11:03:27] <XXCoder> no examples so far I know does besides call Collect()
[11:03:39] <Tom_itx> however you said motion worked
[11:03:48] <Tom_itx> so where is motion getting the value from?
[11:04:08] <XXCoder> its a existing pin
[11:04:14] <Tom_itx> if there is no tool loaded yet
[11:04:23] <XXCoder> oh its just set to zero
[11:04:31] <XXCoder> so tool is showing as zero length
[11:04:33] <Tom_itx> as is the diameter :)
[11:05:00] <XXCoder> yeah. unfortunately there is no diameter pin
[11:05:05] <Tom_itx> make 2 vars at the top of your file and let the user define them prior to running
[11:05:06] <XXCoder> unless its 2.8 version
[11:06:14] <Tom_itx> http://linuxcnc.org
[11:06:17] <Tom_itx> for 2.8
[11:06:43] <Tom_itx> i dunno what motion.eoffset is for
[11:07:08] <XXCoder> external offset. weird
[11:07:22] <XXCoder> halui.tool.diameter is aviliable in 2.8
[11:07:33] <XXCoder> gmoccapy.tool-diameter is unknown
[11:07:40] <XXCoder> didnt exist on my 2.7 though
[11:08:42] <Tom_itx> so they saw a need for it and added it in 2.8
[11:08:49] <XXCoder> apparently yeah
[11:09:58] <Tom_itx> so write a comp to add that pin and load it in 2.7
[11:10:03] <Tom_itx> :)
[11:10:42] <XXCoder> how?
[11:10:56] <XXCoder> unfortunately I learned a lot about how vismach works but not HAL side
[11:11:10] <Tom_itx> http://linuxcnc.org
[11:11:14] <MarcelineVQ> Why even bother with pins if you're using a fixed size
[11:11:27] <Tom_itx> that's kinda my point
[11:11:53] <MarcelineVQ> this is for http://linuxcnc.org yeah? Can't you just define the part size to what you want?
[11:12:01] <XXCoder> marc yeah I left diameter in anyway as its supported in 2.8, just uncomment and comment other one
[11:12:11] <XXCoder> length works fine though
[11:14:17] <Tom_itx> https://github.com
[11:14:28] <Tom_itx> i think that's andy's carousel demo
[11:14:48] <Tom_itx> may or may not help any
[11:15:27] <XXCoder> yeah though he didnt actually display tool
[11:15:29] <XXCoder> mine does
[11:15:38] <XXCoder> it took me quite a while to figure how

[13:49:57] <CaptHindsight> I'd say the Mach3 part is a waste of money
[13:50:17] <sensille> or this one? https://www.aliexpress.com
[13:50:30] <sensille> it would help to know what to look for :-/
[13:50:32] <CaptHindsight> as far as the rest it depends on what you want to do with it
[13:50:41] <sensille> milling aluminum
[13:51:08] <sensille> but i have time, so slow is good enough
[13:51:25] <CaptHindsight> milling aluminum <2mm thick?
[13:51:47] <sensille> no, but taking it in 2mm steps or smaller
[13:52:05] <sensille> or 0.2mm
[13:52:31] <CaptHindsight> it's difficult to tell from pictures from China
[13:52:41] <sensille> does the thickness matter if i don't wan't to mill it in one go?
[13:52:54] <CaptHindsight> they often ship something that looks similar
[13:53:07] <CaptHindsight> but not with the exact features shown
[13:53:32] <sensille> is there a known good source?
[13:53:33] <CaptHindsight> the big difference I've found with cheap Chine routers is how they fix the ballscrews
[13:53:40] <CaptHindsight> NO
[13:54:42] <CaptHindsight> https://postimg.cc this one did bot have threads or nuts on the ends of the ballscrews
[13:54:59] <CaptHindsight> they just float and have ~1mm of end play
[13:55:35] <CaptHindsight> https://postlmg.cc and they arrive with rusty fasteners
[13:57:15] <CaptHindsight> the bearings are often crunchy, like their shop has dirt floors and they store the bearing in sand before assembly
[13:57:56] <CaptHindsight> https://postlmg.cc so you have to spend a few days cleaning and squaring everything
[13:58:21] <gregcnc> but other than that....
[13:58:32] <CaptHindsight> https://postimg.cc
[14:01:05] <CaptHindsight> Newton's Third Law https://www.physicsclassroom.com
[14:01:26] <sensille> does mach3 actually cost money? "please don't upgrade the software" sounds like i at least don't spend any extra on it :P
[14:01:30] <CaptHindsight> some assume that the router has magical qualities of infinite stiffness
[14:04:08] <CaptHindsight> look for a router that has adjustment for the bearing preload on the ballscrews
[14:05:31] <sensille> do they have that in that price range? or is it easier to replace the nut later on?
[14:06:27] <CaptHindsight> nut, some don't have nuts or the threads on the screws
[14:06:55] <CaptHindsight> some show the nuts in the pics but arrive without the threads or nuts
[14:09:16] <CaptHindsight> https://ae01.alicdn.com you can see the nut on the front of this one
[14:09:45] <CaptHindsight> https://ae01.alicdn.com and on the side here
[14:11:29] <CaptHindsight> some arrive with the connectors like this https://postimg.cc
[14:11:43] <CaptHindsight> not a strain relief
[14:12:27] <CaptHindsight> often they could have assembled it properly, but did not know how or did not care to
[14:14:36] <CaptHindsight> https://www.linearmotiontips.com
[14:14:48] <CaptHindsight> https://www.linearmotiontips.com
[14:15:22] <sensille> yeah, i understand the preload part, from the theory
[14:15:52] <sensille> gregcnc: other than that?
[14:16:10] <CaptHindsight> he jokes
[14:16:26] <CaptHindsight> since I mention that most of the machine is crap
[14:16:29] <sensille> hm
[14:17:11] <CaptHindsight> "other than that, how was you time in the concentration camp?"
[14:17:21] <CaptHindsight> you/your
[14:19:02] <sensille> there are so many good reviews of the machines on youtube, but mostly 'see, it mills, isn't it beautiful'
[14:20:23] <sensille> so do i have a chance to get a decent machine in that price range? building myself would be ok, but i wouldn't trust myself to make the plans for it
[14:20:53] <CaptHindsight> are you making artwork or precision parts?
[14:21:20] <sensille> functional parts
[14:23:03] <sensille> i don't know where 'precision' starts, but 0.1mm would be great for a start

[14:32:10] <sensille> maybe something like this makes more sense: https://www.ebay.de
[14:32:23] <sensille> used without controller, but with motors
[14:33:44] <gregcnc> that's an interesting design
[14:40:34] <CaptHindsight> probably selling it since it's such a wiggly cantilever
[14:43:36] <CaptHindsight> all fine designs for "routering" or for non contact (dispensing, printing, etc)
[14:45:13] <sensille> there are not that many options for used ones in that price range... https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de
[14:46:23] -!- asdfasd1 has joined #linuxcnc
[14:46:26] <CaptHindsight> possibly the stiffest one so far but who knows how they assembled it
[14:49:34] <sensille> but quite small
[14:51:00] <sensille> (which is probably good for stiffness)
[14:53:59] <CaptHindsight> https://www.ebay.de there might be enough parts here to make this work
[14:54:19] <gambakufu> you're doing it wrong. judging by his name, you should be asking for CaptHindsigh's opinion after you've bought the machine.
[14:55:30] <CaptHindsight> ceratinly
[14:55:48] <sensille> you mean rebuilding a new machine from those parts?
[14:55:53] <CaptHindsight> I would have gotten something else or modified that last link
[14:57:20] <Loetmichel> sensille: that machine is about the same i have two of
[14:57:40] <Loetmichel> the rotation axis is a bit different, but that isnt that good anyways
[14:57:47] <CaptHindsight> support the other end of the cantilever,so it's a gantry
[14:57:51] <Loetmichel> the rest is pretty much the same
[14:58:00] <CaptHindsight> rotate the Z 90 deg
[14:58:16] <Loetmichel> the machine youi linked to me above
[14:59:02] <Loetmichel> one of them does its job well at my company now for over six years, and i think it was QUITE well worth the 2000 eur the company paid back then
[14:59:57] <Loetmichel> CaptHindsight: the Mach3 copy "sold" with them is a pirated version anyways. best to be discarded immediatly after copying of the config files of the CD to convert to linuxCNC

[15:55:46] <andypugh> You can tell I am running out of space, the main design criterion for this fly-press stand was that my bicycle had to fit underneath it… https://photos.app.goo.gl
[16:03:44] <Loetmichel> andypugh: fly press?
[16:03:49] <Loetmichel> interesting
[16:04:11] <andypugh> I drilled a bunch of holes in the legs to use for a hydraulic press later.
[16:04:14] <Loetmichel> i would have taken a wager taht that be a rack/pinion type press
[16:04:34] <andypugh> I have a lot of silicone caskets to punch out.
[16:04:40] <andypugh> (gaskets)
[16:05:29] * Loetmichel was trying to imagine a casket made of silicone... Tupperware suddenly came to mind ;)
[16:06:18] <Tom_itx> andypugh do you know a way to read the tool diameter of the current tool in the hal file?
[16:06:33] <Tom_itx> other than 2.8 (they added a pin)
[16:06:44] <Tom_itx> in motion
[16:07:32] <andypugh> Create a component that creates a HAL pin that reports the diameter?
[16:07:40] <Tom_itx> :)
[16:08:05] <Tom_itx> i suppose i could see what they did in 2.8 and duplicate it as a single comp
[16:08:51] <Tom_itx> XXCoder was trying to do something with a vismach demo
[16:09:13] <Tom_itx> and wanted to show the tool
[16:09:39] -!- extor has joined #linuxcnc
[16:09:41] <andypugh> linuxcnc.stat().tool_offset looks like it has what you want. (if userspace is acceptable for this)
[16:10:51] -!- gloops has joined #linuxcnc
[16:11:38] <andypugh> As a workaround, copy the diamter into the (largely pointless) tool A-offset and use the haui.tool-offset.a pin

[16:17:16] -!- bji has parted #linuxcnc
[16:17:43] <Tom_itx> are there docs on linuxcnc.stat().tool_offset somewhere?

[16:19:05] -!- nkp has joined #linuxcnc
[16:19:36] <andypugh> http://linuxcnc.org
[16:20:06] <andypugh> It just says “it’s a tuple” so I guess you will need to look at the tuple to see which is which.
[16:20:09] <Tom_itx> thanks i was looking under the comp doc
[16:21:07] <Tom_itx> odd it took this long to add that pin to motion
[16:21:36] <andypugh> Yes, considering that we have had the tool A-offset for years. I wonder if anyone has _ever_ used angular tool offsets?
[16:21:54] <Tom_itx> maybe for a lathe?
[16:22:06] <Tom_itx> i wouldn't know how really
[16:22:53] <Tom_itx> i told him just to add a length and diameter var in the demo file
[16:23:15] <Tom_itx> he did get the length read from the tool table using motion
[16:23:32] <Tom_itx> but when hal starts it's still always gonna be zero
[16:23:46] <Tom_itx> since no tool was selected yet
[16:24:42] <andypugh> Yes, that’s something of a problem with tools whatever you do. The tool offset data propogates oddly. Exactly as required, but maybe not as you might expect.

[19:46:48] <XXCoder> for some reason motion stopped working so I used .tool_table[s.tool_in_spindle]. ... for both
[19:47:35] <XXCoder> hmm table tool is in diameter not radius correct?
[19:48:43] <XXCoder> diameter it looks like
[19:50:11] <XXCoder> just unsure if CylinderZ uses radius or diameter. looks like radius so far..

[20:05:08] <XXCoder> hey
[20:05:16] <infornography> ello
[20:05:48] <JT-Shop> XXCoder: did you figure out anything?
[20:10:20] <XXCoder> yeah
[20:10:27] <XXCoder> habign problems with motion.tooloffset.z
[20:10:31] <XXCoder> but mostly working
[20:10:55] <XXCoder> halmeter shows that as zero all time now
[20:11:53] -!- mozmck_lp has joined #linuxcnc
[20:12:13] <JT-Shop> try show hal watch window
[20:13:03] <XXCoder> where do i get that?
[20:13:18] <JT-Shop> trying to connect to the RPi with an ethernet cable lol
[20:13:25] <JT-Shop> in
[20:13:28] <JT-Shop> axis
[20:13:49] <XXCoder> hal configuration?
[20:14:05] <JT-Shop> yea
[20:14:46] <JT-Shop> hmm I thought I had the rt preempt kernel installed on this laptop
[20:16:04] <XXCoder> it stays at 0
[20:17:04] <JT-Shop> hmm offset should only change when you touch off
[20:18:17] <XXCoder> touched off still 0
[20:18:30] <gregcnc> G43 HXX?
[20:18:52] <JT-Shop> I usually to Tn M6 G43
[20:18:56] <gregcnc> IT MAY NOT READ IT UNTIL TOLD
[20:18:59] <gregcnc> oops
[20:19:06] <XXCoder> hmm maybe im an moron a second
[20:19:26] <XXCoder> confirmed im a moron
[20:19:42] <andypugh> That was a fast confirmation
[20:19:45] <XXCoder> g53h1 worked
[20:19:48] <JT-Shop> lol
[20:19:59] <XXCoder> :)
[20:20:16] <XXCoder> it is finally done besides massive cleanup
[20:21:23] * JT-Shop is FD & H

[20:37:19] <XXCoder> hey andypugh can I name pins for axis anything besides joint0 .. 2?
[20:37:28] <XXCoder> i want name to be more olvious
[20:38:02] <andypugh> The pins are called what they are called. Changing the names means recompiling.
[20:38:11] <JT-Shop> you can name them anything you like except names that are used
[20:38:18] <XXCoder> c.newpin("joint0", hal.HAL_FLOAT, hal.HAL_IN) #x

[20:53:19] -!- Tecan- has parted #linuxcnc
[20:55:02] <Tom_itx> so XXCoder how did you get diameter to work?
[20:55:09] Tom_itx is now known as Tom_L
[20:55:17] <XXCoder> rad = s.tool_table[s.tool_in_spindle].diameter #workaround for 2.7
[20:55:36] <Tom_L> what is s. ?
[20:55:48] <XXCoder> s = linuxcnc.stat()
[20:55:56] <Tom_L> ok
[20:56:14] <Tom_L> so is there a description of linuxcnc.stat() output somewhere>
[20:56:15] <Tom_L> ?
[20:56:40] <XXCoder> yeah its a long list of many different stuff
[20:56:51] <Tom_L> in the docs anywhere?
[20:56:57] <XXCoder> yeah looking still
[20:57:07] <XXCoder> http://linuxcnc.org
[20:57:20] <XXCoder> apparently it works in vismach file
[20:57:44] <XXCoder> so for physical respention of tool I use diameter and tool length
[20:58:07] <XXCoder> but it uses motion one for placement of where tip is. so if h gcode is missing, it would crash
[20:58:13] <XXCoder> ie get tool below table
[20:58:24] <XXCoder> just like real machine really
[20:58:27] <Tom_L> that list should appear in the linuxcnc comp
[20:58:51] <Tom_L> http://linuxcnc.org
[20:58:57] <Tom_L> but it doesn't
[20:58:58] <XXCoder> theres easy way to get diameter by comp.. un 2.8
[20:59:09] <XXCoder> 2.7 does not have one
[20:59:11] <Tom_L> i know, it's a pin in motion
[20:59:16] <Tom_L> i realize that
[21:00:23] <XXCoder> okay now testing theory I had above
[21:00:48] <XXCoder> okay t3m6 has long and fairly thin tool
[21:00:51] <XXCoder> its showing
[21:01:05] <XXCoder> now to run it with gcode that doesnt have g43h3
[21:02:32] <XXCoder> heh tooltip marking is way above toop end
[21:03:27] <XXCoder> HMM looks like tooltip placement calcuation is slightly off
[21:06:03] -!- CubicleNate has joined #linuxcnc
[21:06:05] <XXCoder> fixed.

[21:21:08] <XXCoder> jthornton: editing is so much fun lol
[21:21:22] <XXCoder> Tom_L: its looking very nice now lol still working on it though
[21:21:36] <Tom_L> glad you figured it out
[21:24:21] <XXCoder> yeah
[21:24:27] <XXCoder> tooltip is now very solved
[21:24:50] <XXCoder> work is only remaining total unknown. I left it as just point like all other examples.
[21:25:07] <XXCoder> I suspect it should be way for linuxcnc where stock is
[21:25:13] <XXCoder> and what size etc but...
[21:26:15] <Tom_L> is a tuple just an array?
[21:26:21] <XXCoder> yeah
[21:26:29] <XXCoder> accessed by [N]
[21:26:47] <XXCoder> whatever.arrays[1] is specific entry in array
[21:26:58] <Tom_L> so the diameter would be s[11] ?
[21:27:17] <Tom_L> s.tool_table[11]
[21:27:18] <XXCoder> nah its tool table, its list of tools
[21:27:41] <XXCoder> s.tool_table[s.current_tool_number].diameter
[21:28:10] <XXCoder> essentally its list of tools, each with list of data, some of em also arrays, but diameter is not one
[21:28:51] <XXCoder> this is actual example from my vismach:
[21:28:51] <XXCoder> rad = s.tool_table[s.tool_in_spindle].diameter
[21:28:55] <Tom_L> so a multi-dimensional array
[21:29:07] <XXCoder> yeah
[21:29:14] <MarcelineVQ> rad?
[21:29:19] <XXCoder> radius
[21:29:22] <MarcelineVQ> conventially, rad is half of dia
[21:29:25] <XXCoder> it later divides by 2
[21:29:28] <MarcelineVQ> ehe k
[21:29:31] <XXCoder> rad = rad / 2 #change it to rad
[21:30:14] <Tom_L> wannabe_rad = s.tool_table[s.tool_in_spindle].diameter
[21:30:21] <XXCoder> lol
[21:30:29] <XXCoder> I suppose I can do ( ... ) / 2
[21:30:34] <XXCoder> so you guys feel better
[21:30:44] <Tom_L> i could care less either way
[21:31:04] <Tom_L> just so it works
[21:31:23] <XXCoder> yeah though as well as do it, as its tutorial should be super clear
[21:31:59] <Tom_L> more fun if you add humor to your code
[21:32:11] <XXCoder> there is little in it
[21:32:19] <XXCoder> # color it red, as in danger, tool!
[21:32:42] <XXCoder> that is for cat30 (red part you see in imgur)
[21:33:46] <Tom_L> you have any cat50 at your work?
[21:33:52] <XXCoder> couple
[21:33:55] <XXCoder> its heavy mofo
[21:34:04] <Tom_L> my bud had a few
[21:34:30] <XXCoder> heaviest tool I had to put on spidle were 8" facemill on cat50
[21:34:34] <Tom_L> all the rest were cat40
[21:34:47] <XXCoder> I could just barely lift it with knee, leg on tab;e
[21:34:48] <Tom_L> yeah i think he had an 8" cutter
[21:35:03] <Tom_L> some 2-3" insert drills
[21:35:22] <XXCoder> work largest drill is 6" I think
[21:35:27] <Tom_L> for cutting Ti
[21:35:29] <XXCoder> looks ricious
[21:39:12] <Tom_L> you do alot of boeing work out there?
[21:39:19] <XXCoder> quite a bunch
[21:39:29] <XXCoder> somewhat less than 50%
[21:39:35] <Tom_L> i know we send the tubes out from here
[21:39:48] <XXCoder> one section left to write
[21:39:48] <Tom_L> from spirit
[21:39:53] <XXCoder> # Concept of machine design
[21:40:01] <XXCoder> bleh no code just explaining
[21:43:41] <XXCoder> still refining other areas. much more clean and clear now

[21:52:34] <XXCoder> oops minor error found
[21:52:40] <XXCoder> work point is inside table lol
[21:52:54] <XXCoder> but changed machine so its grouped together when table top is on zerop
[21:53:03] <XXCoder> so move it upwards and work follows with it.

[22:15:20] <XXCoder> changed tool2 to toolassembly much more clear
[22:19:21] <XXCoder> done.
[22:19:31] <XXCoder> wow. done. now running it see if I didnt break something
[22:24:03] <XXCoder> looks ok though tool model only shows up if tool was changed, AND h used
[22:28:58] <XXCoder> so....
[22:29:24] <XXCoder> what do I do with it now? not too sure what is best place to upload or write article about it?
