  1. #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!

  5. Anybody got an idea what type of collet this is?
    Its from a high speed spindle that was found without documentation. Most likely sold by ISEL in Germany.

    This one is for 3mm tools, I will would like to get one for 1/8" tools.

    Would you rather fly on a plane built by people who take pride in their work and have long tenure at their post, or by harried workers, exhausted from overtime or a second job?

  21. Do I have any #machinists here?

    Now that I'm thinking about building the smol CNC, I have one question.

    My aim is to get down, mechanically, to a 0,01mm precision (Closed loop 200 step motor with a 2,5:1 ratio pulleys to a 1605 ballscrew). Past that, how should I treat microstepping? Half? One Quarter?

    I have been told "as high as you can" but I'm not sure about that...In my head, the forces of machining (max would be a 7mm endmill on ER11) may overcome the torque avaliable in the microstep.

  26. Are you surprised? Is anyone surprised.

    It’s been happening for years. #Boeing management fucked over unions, moved their HQ out of #Seattle, built new factories in right-to-work states, replaced skilled #machinists with knucklehead scabs, outsourced their software jobs overseas, etc. All they cared about was the next quarter's profits and goosing the stock price. This is the inevitable result.

  31. Overly engineered bolts are done, it's absolutely nuts I couldn't get the right one in mail order because someone classified British standard withworth as products used in nuclear reactors and prohibited from import. So I had to spend two hours making these bolts. At least now I can attach the bed of my 19th century bandsaw
