[03:43:59] <pink_vampire> hi
[03:46:20] <Contract_Pilot> My pick up another tig in the morning blown IGBT's lol

[04:15:02] <pink_vampire> how do i calculate the "scale" value for rotary axis
[04:15:27] <pink_vampire> the encoder is 24576 lines per rev
[04:17:09] -!- jthornton has joined #linuxcnc
[04:17:50] <Contract_Pilot> Humm been a while lol.
[04:44:48] <pink_vampire> Im getting "joint 5 following error"

[05:01:00] <pink_vampire> hi miss0r2
[05:01:11] <miss0r2> hello pink_vampire
[05:01:39] <pink_vampire> the servo spindle is working again
[05:01:55] <pink_vampire> but i'm getting "joint 5 following error"
[05:02:02] -!- togo has joined #linuxcnc
[05:02:20] <pink_vampire> do you know how to configure the acceleration?
[05:02:35] <miss0r2> phone 2 secs
[05:02:55] -!- justanotheruser has joined #linuxcnc
[05:04:32] <pink_vampire> miss0r2: ok thanks
[05:10:22] <miss0r2> alright... damn clients
[05:10:23] <miss0r2> :)
[05:10:40] <miss0r2> ahh, you are accelerating too fast :)
[05:11:09] <miss0r2> How are you driving the spindle?
[05:11:13] <miss0r2> pink_vampire: ^
[05:11:13] <pink_vampire> i have the max_acceleration on 100
[05:11:52] <pink_vampire> 320X > motor with 8192ppr> 1:3 belt
[05:11:58] <miss0r2> 100 rpm/sec doesn't sounds like alot
[05:12:33] <miss0r2> have you told linuxcnc how many ppr the motor has?
[05:12:43] <miss0r2> well. that number x three
[05:12:54] <pink_vampire> no, the encoder go in to the G320x
[05:13:14] <pink_vampire> one sec, i will take a pic of the ini
[05:15:01] <pink_vampire> https://i.imgur.com < axis_5
[05:15:28] <pink_vampire> https://i.imgur.com < the error
[05:17:16] <miss0r2> have you tuned it?
[05:17:58] <pink_vampire> what do you mean by " tuned it"
[05:18:30] <miss0r2> https://www.youtube.com
[05:19:13] <pink_vampire> yes, i did that
[05:19:17] <miss0r2> it needs to know what is happending with the encoder ect
[05:19:19] <miss0r2> hmm
[05:19:26] <pink_vampire> it is run fine with arduino
[05:20:17] <miss0r2> what hardware are you connecting to it with? 320 < ??? < PC
[05:20:23] -!- x2s has joined #linuxcnc
[05:20:28] <pink_vampire> just with lpt
[05:21:25] <pink_vampire> what "STEPGEN_MAXACCEL" mean?
[05:21:39] <miss0r2> step generator maximum acceleration
[05:21:51] <miss0r2> try setting your ferror to 0.5
[05:22:20] <pink_vampire> i want to get it to at least 200 rpm
[05:23:10] <miss0r2> the stepgen_maxaccel is how fast it accelerates
[05:24:10] <miss0r2> STEPGEN_MAXACCEL = 21.0 - Acceleration limit for the step generator. This should be 1% to 10% larger than the axis MAX_ACCELERATION. This value improves the tuning of stepgen’s "position loop". If you have added backlash compensation to an axis then this should be 1.5 to 2 times greater than MAX_ACCELERATION.
[05:24:36] -!- Loetmichel_ has quit []
[05:24:46] -!- Loetmichel has joined #linuxcnc
[05:24:51] <pink_vampire> so i need to make the STEPGEN_MAXACCEL lower?
[05:25:09] <miss0r2> meh.. Lets try with ferror 0.5
[05:25:20] <miss0r2> FERROR = 0.5
[05:26:17] <pink_vampire> i just add some numbers in the ini for the C axis
[05:26:38] <pink_vampire> i have no idea what they do
[05:26:55] <miss0r2> Theres something that does not add up here.
[05:27:04] <miss0r2> the max_valocity seems odly low to me
[05:27:41] <pink_vampire> the goal is to get a decent speed for tapping and indexing
[05:28:03] <pink_vampire> so 200 rpm will be fine
[05:28:12] <miss0r2> Indeed. Theres just something that is pussling me here
[05:28:19] <miss0r2> (its been a while since I did this last)
[05:28:41] <pink_vampire> what settings do you think will work for 200 rpm?
[05:29:10] <miss0r2> hmm. Let me see a copy of your hal file
[05:29:54] <pink_vampire> it can accelerate in to 200 rpm in almost no time, but lets say to get to the speed of 200 rpm in 1 sec
[05:30:33] <pink_vampire> 200rpm = 72000 deg/min
[05:31:34] <miss0r2> yeah. hang on - I'm googeling like a mad man, trying to remember this
[05:31:53] <pink_vampire> heh lol
[05:32:30] <XXCoder> heys
[05:32:35] <miss0r2> What configurations have you done in your hal to make this work?
[05:32:38] <miss0r2> hello XXCoder
[05:33:55] <pink_vampire> i just add one more axis
[05:34:22] <pink_vampire> it is not a spindle, it is just an extra axis
[05:35:08] <miss0r2> this is what is messing with me :)
[05:35:19] <miss0r2> I want it to be a spindle - I don't know if you can run a spindle as an axis like that
[05:36:03] <pink_vampire> it is not a spindle
[05:36:09] <pink_vampire> it is like an indexer
[05:36:50] <miss0r2> but with continues rotation...
[05:37:00] <x2s> oh, nice, there's a 2.7-buster branch
[05:37:06] <miss0r2> brb
[05:37:23] <pink_vampire> miss0r2: don't worry about it
[05:37:38] <pink_vampire> im fine with it as indexer
[05:38:11] <jthornton> morning
[05:38:23] <pink_vampire> hi jthornton
[05:38:25] <XXCoder> morning
[05:38:29] <pink_vampire> hi XXCoder
[05:45:44] <miss0r2> back
[05:46:09] <miss0r2> pink_vampire: I have to run. Clients are riding me like a racing horse at the moment.
[05:46:21] <miss0r2> I will be back on later tonight - perhaps I can help you there
[05:46:21] <pink_vampire> ok
[05:46:25] <XXCoder> better than other kind of riding lol
[05:46:33] <miss0r2> XXCoder: Depends on the client ;)
[05:46:39] <XXCoder> lol true
[05:46:45] <miss0r2> But in this line of work, its mostly overweight men... so nah
[05:46:53] <miss0r2> Anyway, I have to run. see you around
[05:46:58] <pink_vampire> thanks
[05:47:15] <pink_vampire> good luck with work you have to do
[05:47:50] <XXCoder> man pink
[05:48:02] <XXCoder> work machine got clogged so hardcore with just one part lol
[05:48:03] <pink_vampire> ?
[05:48:16] <XXCoder> had to dig chips out or it'd flood and spill coolant all over
[05:49:02] <pink_vampire> lockout the machine!!!!!
[05:49:41] <XXCoder> nah didnt actually enter machine totally. and yeah heard of death of maintance guy that way. ouch!
[05:50:28] <Loetmichel> Gnihihi... indeed an optimist: https://www.isnichwahr.de
[05:51:54] <XXCoder> slightly short
[05:52:05] <Loetmichel> just a few months
[05:58:30] <XXCoder> https://www.youtube.com oh someone has pocketnc lol
[05:58:37] <XXCoder> so expensive for tiny machine
[05:59:56] <pink_vampire> i think he go it
[06:00:56] <pink_vampire> I almost got a pocket nc
[06:01:22] <XXCoder> yeah? why decided against it?
[06:02:12] <pink_vampire> it is all the time give me the joint error in 9000 deg/min
[06:03:30] <pink_vampire> XXCoder: it is super cool machine nut super small, and it is ONLY good gor 5 axis machining, the g0704, is more universal
[06:03:49] <pink_vampire> the 17" om the x axis save me ton of times
[06:07:08] <XXCoder> cool
[06:13:13] <XXCoder> that thing is crazy lol

[14:25:29] <Jymmm> If you have a Honda or Accura, and you ever have a NO START, STALL, or INTERMITTENT issue, particularrly in a very hot or very cold condition, check (repair) the MAIN RELAY (located under the dash, either left or right side). Just remove from housing and reflow all the solder joints and plug back in.
[14:29:22] <gloops> whatever happened to Honda...

[15:13:25] <Jymmm> Is there anything I need to be aware of in rotating the tee 180 degrees once I loosen the flex line??? https://i.imgur.com
[15:17:42] <Jymmm> I do have some reactorseal fwiw
[15:24:04] <cradek> you can reuse those parts, take it all apart, use a wire brush to clean all that old goop off the threads, then brush on new goop and put it back together
[15:24:27] <cradek> you can't just rotate it and expect it to still seal
[15:24:38] <cradek> (why is the T there and what are you doing?)
[15:26:45] <Jymmm> It used to goto a propane fireplace that no longer exists. I'm tapping into the big 250 gallon propane tank (after regulator) using this I've made up... https://i.imgur.com
[15:26:49] <cradek> check it all with that soapy juice that comes in the jar with the brush afterward
[15:27:08] <Jymmm> Yeah, I have the soapy suds =)
[15:27:46] <cradek> cool, but please don't die, we like having you here
[15:28:10] <Jymmm> Lol, awww, thank you, I'll try not to =)
[15:29:25] <Jymmm> cradek: Can I reuse the flex line once I've cleaned it up? I've heard that it's better ro replace than reuse, but I'm 60 miles from the hardware store to get another one.
[15:29:45] <cradek> I've heard the same...
[15:30:25] <cradek> it looks like a verrry old style
[15:31:05] <Jymmm> Yeah, it probably is.
[15:31:05] <cradek> I didn't know they used flexes outdoors, I thought just at appliances that aren't permanently affixed
[15:32:42] <Jymmm> cradek: This is "what they call" permanently fixed mobile home. So I suppose it's just a earthquake thing
[15:33:14] <cradek> cool - well don't mistake me for an expert especially in earthquakeland
[15:35:00] <Jymmm> No worries, I just wasn't sure abotu the whole flex line thing, though I have seen a LOT of them that look brand new thrown away in the trash when I have been harvesting broken appliances from the dumpster for parts =)
[15:35:20] <Jymmm> might be a CYA thing too
[15:36:19] <cradek> well if they flex they surely get weaker over time, and they're like $30. that's the cheapest insurance there is.
[15:36:34] <Jymmm> cradek: You got your bus (or was that lepler) done?
[15:36:47] -!- hIGGI has joined #linuxcnc
[15:37:03] <cradek> it's been done for many years
[15:37:11] <Jymmm> Cheap passive insurenace for sure=)
[15:37:33] <cradek> 2 years ago I did all new brakes (including calipers) and tires so it's trustworthy now
[15:37:37] <cradek> can't wait to use it this year
[15:37:55] <Jymmm> cradek: Here's a "new" one for you... https://i.imgur.com
[15:38:12] <Jymmm> I think you can get it for free too ;)
[15:38:33] <cradek> looks like it's been on fire a few too many times...
[15:39:14] <Jymmm> cradek: The whole area was on fire, 150,000 acres

[16:51:47] <gloops> latest manufacturing figures showing steepest fall in manufacturing in Eurozone in 6 years. what a relief we're leaving
[16:55:05] <Jymmm> XXCoder: =)
[16:56:31] <Jymmm> cradek: Well, Tested the generator on the hose, it works on high pressure =)
[16:58:32] <gloops> EU diesel regulations have seen a 10% drop in german car output, and similar in the UK and France
[16:58:47] <gloops> pretty stupid thing to do
[16:59:04] <Jymmm> DID YOU KNOW... You can run a generator for 60 seconds on a 1/4" ID 50ft hose worth of propane =)
[16:59:29] <Jymmm> gloops: drop in... performance? Sales?
[16:59:46] <gloops> sales - hence manufacturing
[17:00:05] <Jymmm> whats the new regulations now?
[17:00:46] <gloops> im not exactly but diesels are no longer cheap to run
[17:00:52] <gloops> not sure exactly
[17:01:53] <gloops> ahh well, i just bought an old ford petrol
[17:01:59] <Jymmm> cost of diesel?
[17:03:32] <gloops> road tax, levies on new diesel engines, various things kicked in
[17:04:14] <gloops> i ought to check the regs really lol, but diesels arent so attractive anymore
[17:04:31] <XXCoder> for larger stuff I'd go diesel anyway
[17:04:43] <gloops> nissan cancelled x-trail production in the UK - most 4wd are diesel
[17:04:44] <XXCoder> engine life, expecially if its to be traveling all time
[17:06:11] <gloops> better for towing
[17:06:33] <gloops> mpg usually better
[17:06:52] <XXCoder> also better for... coal rolling if your iq is like room temperate in F
[17:07:00] <XXCoder> or maybe more like C lol

[17:07:57] <gloops> https://www.autocar.co.uk
[17:08:07] <XXCoder> hopefully whoeevr I chatted with about low temp alloys see this lol
[17:08:30] <gloops> i saved that page - still havent melted any metal though
[17:08:47] <XXCoder> oh good :)
[17:09:04] <XXCoder> should add exceptions
[17:09:08] <XXCoder> but very few
[17:09:14] <XXCoder> like tow trucks
[17:10:40] <gloops> i suppose society needs that kick to get off fossil fuels, people will keep buying diesels while theyre cheap - so make them not cheap, get everyone on electric
[17:11:03] <XXCoder> im still waiting for elio :(
[17:11:18] <XXCoder> 84 mph daily commute car
[17:11:37] <gloops> yeah theyre getting better
[17:11:52] <XXCoder> https://www.eliomotors.com
[17:12:45] <gloops> familiar shape
[17:14:37] <gloops> not that familiar really lol https://mothership.sg
[17:14:49] <XXCoder> lol
[17:15:14] <XXCoder> i'd never buy that without rag top
[17:15:24] <XXCoder> aternate exit lol
[17:16:33] <gloops> https://www.designboom.com
[17:16:47] <gloops> vintage look is popular
[17:17:34] <XXCoder> 2 seater, in side heh bit crowded I bet rear seat'd be popular.
[17:17:48] <XXCoder> rear seats barely enough for one american ;)
[17:18:52] <gloops> built in estonia, the EV’s creators have designed the nobe as an upgradeable and recyclable alternative to disposable cars that instantly start decreasing in value and are scrapped.
[17:19:55] <gloops> well meaning, but people would rather have a comfortable seat
[17:20:29] <XXCoder> elio is just front and rear. deaf-hostile design but if its for commute whatever

[19:05:46] <jthornton> XXCoder: the wifes honda insight gets 55mpg
[19:06:56] <jthornton> but it ain't $8k like the elio
[19:07:49] <XXCoder> yrah
[19:08:37] <jthornton> any news from the elio?
[19:09:02] <XXCoder> not a lot since great news on tranmission
[19:09:14] <jthornton> what was that?
[19:09:33] <XXCoder> they contracted one compamny for that lemme find blog entry
[19:11:21] <XXCoder> https://www.eliomotors.com
[19:11:46] <XXCoder> "The new powertrain will push the Elio’s performance specifications far beyond prior consumer expectations. The engine should offer nearly a 100% increase in horsepower rating when compared to initial Elio prototype vehicles."
[19:12:04] <XXCoder> so it'd be quite powerful for its size.
[19:15:04] <jthornton> cool
[19:16:01] <XXCoder> it'd be popular if it drove like fncy cars but high mpg
[19:17:11] <jthornton> for a commuter it will be popular if the seat is comfortable lol
[19:17:34] <XXCoder> it is!
[19:17:37] <XXCoder> I sat in p3
[19:17:58] <jthornton> really? wow that's cool
[19:18:16] <XXCoder> funny thing i didnt remember about it for a bit even after seeing elio pictures
[19:18:21] <XXCoder> but evenually i did
[19:19:07] <XXCoder> http://media.mlive.com
[19:19:15] <jthornton> T-2 for chicken door to close
[19:20:56] <jthornton> yea I'm 0.2GB ahead in data today lol
[19:23:16] <jthornton> it just amazes me that chickens from birth can sort out what they need to do so long as they find food and water
[19:23:46] <jthornton> goodnight
[19:23:58] <XXCoder> inbuilt knowledge can be great but then less flexiability

[20:34:34] <XXCoder> wb
[20:35:08] <pink_vampire> the irc got disconnected
[20:35:25] <pink_vampire> did you saw the panel?
[20:35:34] <XXCoder> the new fuse connectors? yeah
[20:36:07] <pink_vampire> no
[20:36:13] <pink_vampire> the g320x
[20:36:25] <pink_vampire> and the return energy dump
[20:36:34] <XXCoder> hmm nope then :)
[20:38:40] <pink_vampire> one sec i will send updated pic

[20:41:36] <XXCoder> very neat wiring!
[20:41:48] <XXCoder> rat has much sadness, no nest! lol
[20:44:24] <pink_vampire> now i need to make a bracket for a 8 stages cam switch
[20:47:41] <XXCoder> 8 stages cam switch?

[20:49:36] <pink_vampire> https://i.imgur.com
[20:50:24] <XXCoder> i see 1 and 2 but not sure what it does? does it change setting for say speed vs torque or something?
[20:58:19] <pink_vampire> switch between slow servo controller to just dc controller

[21:15:31] <pink_vampire> nice
[21:17:07] <pink_vampire> I'm start thinking that the problem that i have with my C axis is because of the LPT
[21:17:56] <skunkworks> what problem
[21:18:13] <pink_vampire> joint follow error
[21:18:21] <skunkworks> open loop?
[21:18:31] <pink_vampire> https://i.imgur.com
[21:18:43] <pink_vampire> yes, just step and direction
[21:19:02] <skunkworks> joint following error on an open loop system is most likely a configuration issue..
[21:21:37] <pcw_home> yeah on a parallel port system it pretty much has to be a configuration error
[21:21:50] <skunkworks> you are either to go too fast for the base period - or you have no headroom in the stepgen..
[21:22:02] <pink_vampire> i cant get more then 43000 deg/min
[21:23:08] <pink_vampire> MAX_VELOCITY = 717.0 MAX_ACCELERATION = 500.0 STEPGEN_MAXACCEL = 550.0 SCALE = 13.653333333333332
[21:23:25] <pink_vampire> those are the settings that work the best
[21:23:37] <pink_vampire> it give me 116 rpm top speed
[21:24:23] <pink_vampire> with 4915.5 lines per rev
[21:24:52] <skunkworks> what is your base period?
[21:25:00] <pcw_home> and what is your stepgen maxvel setting
[21:25:19] <pcw_home> bad cop good cop...
[21:25:20] <pink_vampire> not sure what is "base period?'
[21:26:18] <pink_vampire> this is he ini file
[21:26:20] <pink_vampire> https://paste.debian.net
[21:27:01] <skunkworks> BASE_PERIOD = 100000
[21:27:48] <pink_vampire> ohh i see now
[21:27:59] <pink_vampire> what dose it mean?
[21:28:02] <skunkworks> that is 10k max step rate - if using the printer port reset feature
[21:28:22] <skunkworks> (if I did the math right)
[21:28:51] <pink_vampire> what is the math?
[21:29:11] <skunkworks> that is in ns
[21:29:39] <pink_vampire> what the "BASE_PERIOD" determent?
[21:29:58] <skunkworks> so .0001 seconds 1/.0001 is 10khz
[21:30:16] <skunkworks> that is how often the stepgen is called. so the fasted step rate possible
[21:30:38] <skunkworks> what kind of latency does your system have?
[21:31:32] <pink_vampire> i have no idea
[21:31:51] <skunkworks> run the latency-test from the cnc menu.
[21:31:53] <pink_vampire> i think there is a test for it
[21:32:12] <skunkworks> (without linuxcnc running(
[21:32:22] <skunkworks> let it run for 15+ minutes
[21:33:10] <pink_vampire> ok
[21:33:31] -!- infornography has joined #linuxcnc
[21:33:46] <pink_vampire> the max interval (ns) for the base thread is 30741
[21:35:19] <skunkworks> let it run for a while
[21:35:31] <skunkworks> run some youtube videos and such
[21:35:33] <skunkworks> tax the system
[21:35:41] <pink_vampire> this is intel Q9300 with nvidia 9400gt 1gb and 4gb ram
[21:36:04] <pink_vampire> it is never run stuff other then linx cnc
[21:36:23] <pink_vampire> there is no internet connection to the machine
[21:37:01] <skunkworks> ok
[21:37:45] <pink_vampire> i'm open stuff like gimp and other programs
[21:37:53] -!- infornography has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[21:38:14] -!- infornography has joined #linuxcnc
[21:40:15] <skunkworks> with that latency - I would try 50000 base period.
[21:40:27] <skunkworks> that would give you 2X the step rate...
[21:40:52] <pink_vampire> it got now to 31985
[21:41:09] <pcw_home> 717 degrees/min * 13.65 steps/degree is ~9800 steps/sec so you are running out of basethread headroom
[21:42:01] <pink_vampire> meas card will help me in that case?
[21:42:37] <pcw_home> setting the base thread to 50000 should get you going also
[21:43:11] <pink_vampire> ok
[21:43:27] <pink_vampire> i'm changing it to 50000
[21:44:44] <pink_vampire> what settings to put in the C axis?
[21:48:00] <skunkworks> if that was working without a following error - double the velocity
[21:49:15] <skunkworks> 1434
[21:50:44] <pink_vampire> ok i did,
[21:50:51] <pink_vampire> i test it now
[21:52:33] <pink_vampire> the BASE_PERIOD is per axis? or it is shared?
[21:53:38] <infornography> surely this is the future
[21:54:15] <pink_vampire> infornography: what do you mean?
[21:55:53] <pink_vampire> skunkworks: 1434 work !! the top speed now is 239 rpm!
[21:56:41] <infornography> in this channel we can talk about stuff that sounds like something out of a sci-fi movies, but it really means something
[21:59:11] <pink_vampire> infornography: LOL now i'm getting it
[22:26:17] <skunkworks> there might be some bios tweeking to get the latency down more..
[22:26:51] <pink_vampire> skunkworks: the BASE_PERIOD is per axis? or it is shared?
[22:29:29] <skunkworks> it is a global setting
[22:29:48] <skunkworks> it is how often certain realtime operatins run
[22:30:00] <skunkworks> (part of stepgen runs in the base period)
[22:30:31] <pink_vampire> so how do i make sure that i can run all the axis in the maximum speed?
[22:31:06] <pink_vampire> because now the c axis is set to 1434
[22:39:16] <pink_vampire> skunkworks: 1434*13.65 = 19574 hz, and the BASE_PERIOD is 50,000 ns so 20 khz - is there a risk that if i will run more then one axis it will top off the BASE_PERIOD?

[22:43:50] <_unreal_> getting closer to having my cnc controller working
[22:44:24] <_unreal_> https://drive.google.com https://drive.google.com https://drive.google.com
[22:44:58] <_unreal_> pink_vampire, no
[22:45:23] <_unreal_> I dont think so
[22:46:44] <_unreal_> are you planning on running a 20khz step rate?
[22:47:16] <_unreal_> better question are you micro stepping? and to what power?
[22:48:45] <pink_vampire> yes, the BASE_PERIOD is set to 50,000 ns (20 khz)
[22:50:39] <pink_vampire> it is a G320X (step direction)
[22:51:20] <_unreal_> are you micro stepping is what I'm asking and to what power? 1/2 1/8th 1/16 32 128th?
[22:56:22] <pink_vampire> I'm actually use the multiplier of 5, the encoder 8192 PPR with 1:3 belt, give 24576 lines per rev, but with the *5 multiplication in the G320x, it is become 4915.2 lines per rev
[23:01:46] <_unreal_> going for crazy accuracy :) ??
[23:03:13] <pink_vampire> 4915.2 PPR for rotory axis is NOT crazy accuracy
[23:14:56] <skunkworks> pink_vampire: no.
[23:15:22] <pink_vampire> skunkworks: ?
[23:15:37] <skunkworks> (to your question above)
[23:16:18] <pink_vampire> skunkworks: the BASE_PERIOD is per axis?
[23:16:18] <pink_vampire> or it is shared?
[23:16:38] <pink_vampire> it is 2 questions
[23:18:03] <skunkworks> shared I guess in your context. every stepgen gets run within that 50,000 ns
[23:18:50] <skunkworks> and if it doesn't you get a realtime delay error ;)
[23:20:20] <pink_vampire> so to move all the axis in rapid
[23:20:51] <skunkworks> try it :)
[23:21:13] <Tom_itx> i forgot how many tools can be in the tool table?
[23:21:59] <pink_vampire> Tom_itx: I have er11, and you are talking about tool changer
[23:22:08] <Tom_itx> no
[23:22:12] <Tom_itx> linuxcnc tool table
[23:22:15] <skunkworks> 2.7 is 52ish.. I don't know if they changed it in master..
[23:22:27] <Tom_itx> oh ok that should be enough for now
[23:22:42] <Tom_itx> i was reaching 30ish and started to wonder
[23:23:09] <Tom_itx> added all the thread mills i wanna get to my cad cam tool list
[23:23:33] <Tom_itx> i try to keep it the same as the linuxcnc tool table
