| azend_ | Hey genii! | 19:17 |
|---|---|---|
| genii | azend_: Salutations :) | 19:25 |
| azend_ | Hola | 19:25 |
| azend_ | Bonjour | 19:25 |
| genii | hehe | 19:25 |
| genii | azend_: I figure you'd know about the steel machining stuff at the Kwartzlab. I'm slowly accumulating pieces here now for a small setup from scratch. I think I need help with making a chuck backplate | 19:27 |
| genii | meh, work back in a bit | 19:28 |
| azend_ | Work? Bah. | 19:28 |
| azend_ | Sure. Happy to help with what I can. That said, I'm not part of kwartz. I'm part of Diyode from Guelph. | 19:29 |
| azend_ | Though it does remind me of the time I tried to run for board of directors without a membership | 19:30 |
| azend_ | They kicked me out and changed the bylaws shortly after :) | 19:30 |
| azend_ | *at kwartz | 19:31 |
| genii | hah | 19:37 |
| genii | azend_: I have a couple chucks, one a 7 1/2" 3-jaw, and a 6" 4-jaw. But no headstock. But I do have some sturdy L-099 cast iron couplers that can go on a 1" keyed shaft. So I'm thinking there might be some wayt o make a temporary backplate for both chuck bolt patterns that also bolts or interference-fits fit a press onto the end of one of these couplers | 19:41 |
| genii | ( they nominally measure 2 9/16") | 19:42 |
| azend_ | No headstock. Do you have the rest of the lathe? :P | 19:43 |
| genii | If the Guelph lab has a lathe I could make a day trip at some point | 19:44 |
| azend_ | We do | 19:44 |
| genii | azend_: At this point I have the 2 chucks, motor, a couple gear reducers,pulleys and belts assortment. CXA toolpost on order | 19:45 |
| azend_ | https://www.diyode.com/t/MetalLatheKing | 19:45 |
| genii | I'm going to make my own headstock | 19:45 |
| azend_ | Neato | 19:45 |
| azend_ | We have a lathe to make round things rounder | 19:46 |
| genii | hehe | 19:46 |
| azend_ | And a mill to make square things more square | 19:46 |
| genii | azend_: Can the mill do hole indexing? | 19:46 |
| genii | work again :( | 19:46 |
| azend_ | There's a digital dro | 19:46 |
| azend_ | I'm not sure if we have a spindexer | 19:47 |
| azend_ | We do have a rotary table as well if you want to take the time to dial it in | 19:47 |
| genii | Is the lab still open during these times? I saw Kwartzlab calendar was basically "closed indefinitely" | 19:51 |
| genii | My inital plan was to draw up plans for an adapter and shop it around locally for best price at a regular machine-shop and then I remembered you guys had metal working capabilities, thought I'd enquire | 19:58 |
| azend_ | Diyode is open to nevermind | 20:08 |
| azend_ | Diyode is open to members | 20:08 |
| azend_ | We have a booking system for sections of the shop | 20:09 |
| azend_ | Open houses and gatherings are still well out | 20:09 |
| azend_ | We're accepting members too but without open houses it's a bit more complicated | 20:11 |
| azend_ | Just email info@diyode.com when you're ready | 20:11 |
| genii | OK, cool | 20:14 |
| azend_ | I totally didn't just spend 40 minutes of company time trying to find this YouTube channel | 20:40 |
| azend_ | https://youtu.be/x1jOr_CJduc | 20:40 |
| azend_ | Anyway, there's some good stuff | 20:40 |
| genii | azend_: Very nice | 22:30 |
| genii | I also like Keith Rucker | 22:30 |
| azend_ | I spend a lot of my life watching YouTube | 22:31 |
| azend_ | It's great stuff | 22:31 |
| genii | Better in general than TV, anyhow | 22:32 |
