[Emc-users] Possible sub for moly in an epoxy filler base? The secret ingrediant in moglice?

2012-09-03 Thread Gene Heskett
Greetings; While coating some bullets with moly powder tonight, I found two things, first being that the applicator media the bullets are vibrated in once a small amount (1/4 teaspoon typically) of moly powder as been added to the ceramic vibrator media, enough to coat several hundred bullets.

Ah, that makes more sense. I was trying to figure out what kind of glue you'd use ;) Since limestone is pretty soft you can get away with carbide. Sandstones cut nicely too, although those tend to wear out tools fairly quickly, you're shearing the grains rather than cutting there. Granite, marble

Generally stone is cut with diamond tooling and lots of water. Spindle speeds are relatively low, between 1500 and 8000RPM depending on the tool. A router will work for a while but the water will kill it pretty quickly. As Ben says, the dust/mud gets everywhere so you need to overbuild and pay

My experience with milling stone is from observing granite countertop fabrication which has been done for years with diamond bits in handheld routers but is being overtaken by the same tooling in CNC machines as well as waterjet cutting. I have seen amazing examples of  inlay work done with wate

I should correct it, not an inlay as in two pieces, just raised lettering. On Mon, Sep 3, 2012 at 4:55 PM, Ben Potter wrote: > I've carved a few test pieces in limestone (but never tried to inlay it), > from memory I used a fairly high speed (15-20k rpm) and slow feedrates > (150-300 mm/min). >

I've carved a few test pieces in limestone (but never tried to inlay it), from memory I used a fairly high speed (15-20k rpm) and slow feedrates (150-300 mm/min). Mind you, I was probably rubbing the tool at that, so it should be possible to go faster - experimenting a bit should give you some ide

well, that seems to work just fine - no major surprises here's as screenshot from a logic analyzer connected to an Intel D5252 parport, running the userland parport driver in sim mode http://static.mah.priv.at/public/uparport.png it's a 1kHz square; there are delays of up to 4ms in this trace.

What would be the minimum setup needed for doing an inlay on limestone? My dad in law was asking about this, and I don't see a lot of easy info about this. Could we use a slow router, say 6000rpm, and some type of diamond bit, and take all day to do the job? Is water a requirement? Is there som

I had the same problem. Or at least a similar problem having to do with hanging on restart. I reflashed bios with a newer version and that fixed it. Ken On 9/3/2012 1:15 PM, Viesturs Lācis wrote: > Hello! > > I am stuck with a strange problem that I see for the first time: > Ubuntu from liveCD
