Fortunately, Sandvik standardized the Capto shank via ISO 26623. It is called a "Polygonal taper interface with flange contact surface".  If you search "capto iso polygon shank" in duckduckgo search engine right now, you may find that there is a "preview" of that standard in a pdf that probably

Re: [Emc-users] Need recommendation on encoder cable

2016-10-17 Thread Adam McLeod
I like IGUS for high flex cables. I just replaced the encoder cable on my lathe with CF-111-011-D. That gave me 4 twisted pair and 4 straight conductors for the encoder power. They have all sorts of different combinations of conductors, twisting and shielding. They also sell internationally

Re: [Emc-users] 4-jaw scroll chucks. Do they actually work? : And angle

2015-06-05 Thread Adam McLeod
I think it is pretty standard for scroll chucks to not repeat better than 0.001". My experience is that chucks are often considered good in the 0.001" to 0.005" run out repeatability. I suspect when the chuck is tightened, there is enough friction between the jaws and the chuck body that preve

Re: [Emc-users] Printing from Debian Wheezy

Hi Rick, What is the printer? I have HP printers and for them there is the hplip package that gives official HP support for their printers. It gives access to the scanning and printing features of the multifunction printers, and works over the network. For other brands, I'm not experienced.

Re: [Emc-users] Delete Debian

2015-03-12 Thread Adam McLeod
Hi Rick, It depends on how you have it installed. I assume that you installed Ubuntu and Debian on the same hard drive, but in different partitions. If you haven't put any data you want to keep on the installation partition, you can just delete the partition that contains Debian. To get the
