I couldn't get any usefull info from the peddlers of fittings for several 
hours on the phone Monday, so I told myself to forget it.  If they don't 
want to sell the stuff, I can't force them.

Just this afternoon I thru together 4 channels worth of snubbers made out 
of 1n914's & small bypass caps, which at a fwd drop per each means 6 in 
series is 3.55 volts, so anything that goes above about 3.6 volts will 
get shorted out, or anything going below ground by more than .585 volts 
will get gobbled up. Then I hooked up a poor sub for the home switch I 
was going to use, but its repeatability is 3 or 4 thou at best with a 
deadband of nearly 60 thou.  That  won't do. I do have one more "good" 
switch but its spst no and I'd druther have nc. And tommorrow is the 
last day for the last radio shack within 140 miles, maybe all of them.  
So I'll have to fleabay some & see how repeatable they are I guess.

Thanks for the checking though Dave, I appreciate it.

Re: [Emc-users] Fiber optic control for CNC

[dave]

I finally climbed my shelving and checked the fiber. I found (maybe 
200') of 2.8mm x 2.0 mm. No other information on the reel. In addition I 
checked one of my reels of 62.5/125 um Berk-tek plenum fiber. At least 
one end is terminated in hot-melt connectors: what ever that means. It 
has simply been too long. The reel for the 2.0 mm I think exceeds the 
min bending radius for the 62.5/125 so I could add some of that to the 
spool with the plastic. Shipping still won't be cheap. Obviously, no 
obligation, unless you just can't resist. ;-)

No it seems to be alive. I work on some software to dump data from the drive
