DIALOGUE BETWEEN A LADY INTERVIEWER WITH A MALE BEER DRINKER: Lady Interviewer: Do you drink every day? Man: Yes. Lady Interviewer: How much a day? Man: Around 3 six-packs starting at noon. Lady Interviewer: How much does a 6-pack cost? Man: Roughly $10.00 at a deli. Lady Interviewer: And how long have you been drinking like that? Man: 15 years.

Re: [MBZ] OT: CNC mill made from random stuff
Here is screen grab of the vid I made the other day that shows the machine, mostly, and you can see the old laptop to the right that drives the controller (which is under that switch box). The whole thing is sorta bodged but it works pretty well. I keep saying I am going to get it cleaned up and organized but The bottom pic shows a bevel bit engraving text outlines -- you can do inside the lines (pocketing), on the lines, or outside the lines, whatever you want. I use a free program called Cambam to do designs, then create gcode from the designs (gcode are the commands that tell the machine where to go in 2.5D), then that gets loaded into a program called Mach3 that actually sends the gcode commands out the parallel port to the stepper motor controller and drives them to turn the lead screws which moves the router around. On the pic you can see the screws and slides for the Y and Z axes, the whole gantry slides on 1/2 rods that are under the table. You can see one stepper in the back that drives the Y axis. I scavenged those out of old Laserjet III printers, they are quite strong and have 1.8deg per step, so 200 steps per rev, and the lead screws are 10 pitch, so that gets me down to 0.0005in resolution which is pretty good, though there is more slop in the system than that, but not really noticeable. Note that if you wanted to build one of these on the cheap, you can use some common materials and driver boards and software, and a Dremel -- you could probably get one going for about $100, maybe less if you worked at it. I probably have about $500 in this one, the precision slides, lead screws, and bearings and nuts were kinda pricey but give it some good performance. The driver board was a $100 kit. I have a power supply I got from a surplus shop, it came out of an old film developer and is pretty cool. You can build one for not much too using common components. I have a single axis driver I built with an Arduino, I think it will do 2 axes, and I could drive 2 boards with the Arduino, so that is pretty cheap stuff. I built a test rig from some threaded rod and nuts and some wood scrap, driving it with an old stepper motor from a printer or scanner or something, and a power supply from an old Laserjet. Even with the random bits I had laying around, the thing has pretty good repeatable accuracy. I think a linux program has been ported to a Raspberry Pi, a $30 computer, so that eliminates the need for a laptop or desktop machine, just hook that to your stepper drivers and you are off and running. The laptop I am using was my daughter's old HS machine, it died a year ago so I found one on eBay for $29 just like it, popped the HD in and up and running again. Any old desktop would do too, long as it has a parallel port for Mach3. I could probably build the frame out of metal extrusions but not sure what it would do for me at this point for things I use it for. I have actually done some really nice things with it, a very cool adjunct to classical woodworking. If anyone is interested I could give you a straightforward tutorial on how to get up and going -- there are lots of kits and plans out there for machines, from really cheap to really nice, I sorta just made one similar to a kit a friend bought, did not take long once I got the parts together. --R ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
[MBZ] North Korean Missile Test Delayed by Windows 8
PYONGYANG (The Borowitz Report)—North Korea’s official news agency announced today that the military’s planned missile test had been put on hold because of “problems with Windows 8.”Intelligence analysts said that the announcement gave rare insight into the inner workings of North Korea’s missile program, which until last year had been running on Windows 95. The announcement from the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) did not indicate a new scheduled time for a missile test, saying only that it was “working with Windows 8 support to resolve the issue.” In the words of one intelligence analyst, “That means the test been delayed indefinitely.” A source close to the North Korean regime reported that Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un is furious about the Windows 8 problems and is considering a number of options, including declaring war on Microsoft. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
