Only slightly interesting since I have used geany as my goto editor since I had so much trouble with gedit playing 52 pickup with my code. geany hasn't trashed a file that wasn't blamed on pebkac by me. gedit did it at least once in 10 edit sessions. I got /damned/ tired of restarting a 600+ LOC .hal file because gedit destroyed it. geany has highlight and error checking settings for quite a few code languages, and apparently can do folding at a label while working on an .ini file. I just found that out yesterday after noting that some code I was running, and I had the stick clamped to project left of the vise, and which puts the table to the right about a foot, had slipped the X about 3/32" halfway thru the run. I let it finish, and fixed the damage with a chisel. It was a test cut in sweet gum, no great loss, as I was working on a routine to function as a socket cutter for a Rockler Lid Stay hinge, which is built to work on the edge of an S4S 1 by board, but my trim piece that sits on top of the edge of that board is 1.5" wide. It is there to hold the top ends of the cedar plank lining I'm putting in, with a small groove about 5/16 wide in its bottom face that the ends of the planks set into. Anyway, I cleaned up the black gunk on the X ways and re-lubed them with Mobil Vactra 68, then decided to slow the accels and max vel on X about 20% to put off the next occurance of that stiction. And not knowing geany had folded at the [axis 0] label, I changed the Y stanza some. That fold was a pebkac, but a click on the [+] mark in the left margin fixed that. But when I gave it up for the night out there after doing that, I came in here, and did a utube search for g0704, and found Hoss's ramblings about putting some lub facilities in a g0704. And one thing I noted right away was that his machine was moving at least at 150ipm. Mine, with this motor kit has never moved x or y faster than 72 ipm without x stalls when the table is at the end of its travel. This kit uses 2M542 xy drivers and a 40 volt supply. I could probably turn the voltage up some, but what I saw Hoss's machine doing is simply not possible on mine. Z, has a nema 34 motor and 80 volt controller running on 60 volts, and its stallable if I ask it for more than 42 ipm going up even with the ways loose as a goose. Lifting that non-counterbalanced head is hard work even for that 1600 oz motor. Hoss's xy motors look like the same triple stack nema 23's I have, rated at about 470 oz/in. So how the heck is he getting his to move that fast? So I believe I now have it running dependably again, but slower rapids are going to add to the execution time per hinge socket carved. Not counting tool changeing time, 2 of those, its 21 minutes right now. Probably by the time I fool around touching off x as I move the board strip in the vise to get to the next position to cut, close to 30 minutes per hinge, 3 hinges. I think I can cut that some in the Y moves (all this is climb cutting) by not using a fixed clearance point for the x retrace move, but just clear the Y face 20 thou on the x retrace move. #<_tool_rad> seems like enough clearance. I can do that from here, and will before another test run, in addition to adding the 3rd tool change and pecking those 3 countersink locations. Because these hinges, at 60 oz/in friction, exert so much force on the wood, and only have provisions for a pair of #7 screw about 1.25" long thru the top, and a pair of #7 3/4" long thru the wrap-around tab, I'll add 3 more screws under the hinge, #8x3 fine thread drywall screws whose heads will be sitting flush or just below the top of the wood and hidden by the hinge when its placed, and 2 more of that screw to replace the smaller one rockler supplies. I have a sharp pointed roundover bit that will do a decent job of cutting that countersink, so I am tempted to add that to the machining just so I have a good place to aim a pilot drill as I'm installing all those screws while racing to get it all snugged up before the glues "open" time is used up, about 15 minutes, so I'll have to drill ALL the pilot holes first. Fun & games I won't try when I am tired & hurting. Nother not so silly Q: LCNC skips the tool change if that tool is still loaded from the last run. Thats nice, but how do I add the z run up to the tool change height to the conditional T#M6G43, so the M6 only runs up the pole if it has to actually change the tool? At 25 to 35 ipm, there's at least 30 seconds I could take back out of the execution time. Thats worthwhile. Thanks John.
