[23:33:27] <jymmmm> If flattened, think this could do 100A easily? https://www.homedepot.com
[23:34:20] <jymmmm> dumb question, what width is a 1/4" tube flattened?
[23:36:34] <Tom_L> it would depend on the wall thickness
[23:38:06] <jymmmm> I'm guessing about .393" wide?
[23:38:34] <jymmmm> thickness is .030"
[23:38:47] <Tom_L> go smash a piece and measure it
[23:39:28] <Tom_L> and i don't think it would matter if it was flat or round as far as it's current carrying capacity
[23:39:29] <perry_j1987> i dont see that one listed in the manual jymmmm https://i.pinimg.com
[23:40:14] <jymmmm> Just found this "The width of the tube when flattened will be half the circumference. The formula for circumference is C = πD"
[23:40:32] <jymmmm> perry_j1987: Not fuse, bus bar =)
[23:40:51] <perry_j1987> any bus bar is a fuse if your daring enough
[23:40:53] <perry_j1987> :)
[23:41:45] <jymmmm> perry_j1987: in that case, it would be 352 amps
[23:42:43] <perry_j1987> you guys see precision mathews is offering an official cnc kit now for one of their mills, the pm-728vt
[23:46:27] <jymmmm> $3000 for a conversation kit?!
[23:46:52] <jesseg> what I want is a wireless realtime CNC boring head :P
[23:46:58] <jesseg> but not for $3000
[23:50:34] <perry_j1987> not 3000
[23:50:48] <perry_j1987> between 800-900 for their kit
[23:51:17] <perry_j1987> ontop of the 2900 dollar mill
[23:51:24] <perry_j1987> and stand its about 4 grand
[23:52:34] <Tom_L> you could buy a real mill for that or less
[23:52:40] <Tom_L> used
[23:53:05] <perry_j1987> there's reasons for these smaller mills
[23:53:28] <perry_j1987> space / weight constraints
[23:53:31] <perry_j1987> power too
