#machining — Public Fediverse posts

Anyone here using RepRapFirmware on their cnc mill (or 3D printer)? I have some questions related to planning out my controls cabinet.

Specifically I want to know if there is a way I can tie a button or switch in for motion enable/disable and use a contactor to cut power to the drives/spindle

I’m also assuming I can have standard start/hold push buttons. I am used to having my fingers on buttons to pause and resume without taking my eyes off the work…

#introduction Hi All

Been lurking for a while to feel how everyone interacts. Already found lots of interesting things and got excited following #fossdem this year.

Main current interests are improving my minimalist natural pool to #pond conversion and using and contributing to very wide range #foss software and hardware.

Focussed #tags for the latter include:
#machinist #machinists #machining #cnc, #FreeCAD

Firm believer that #crossplatform should get a lot more recognition, the less silos the better!

#Seattle folks:

I’m trying to find someone to help me move some machine tools into my garage.

I don’t have networks into the trades in this area to have the right contacts.

Can anyone get me in touch with someone?

Boosts appreciated :boost_requested:

No point in taking the shaft out of the motor to work on it. The little flat surface that a spacer sits on wasn't true so it causes the grinding wheel to wobble. I cut it then ground it and it seemed better. Need to tune up the spacers again but it's better than it was. This is off of a circular saw blade sharpener and spins diamond resin wheels for cutting carbide.

Final beauty shots of the Wilton Bullet No. 4 I just refurbished. It is probably from 1941 since it doesn’t have a date stamp on the dynamic jaw key, and shows patent pending - the Wilton patent was granted in 1941.

This well used and abused Wilton Bullet vise has been under the bench for a few years. I was waiting until I got the Van Norman mill set up to tackle the dynamic jaw that had been fitted with a welded jaw insert. It didn’t take much to remove and clean it up. More to come...

This well used and abused Wilton Bullet vise has been under the bench for a few years. Time to do a basic refurb starting in my new 5 gallon bucket of Evapo-Rust. This will need some mill work, a new handle, and a shop made set of jaws. Stay tuned. .
