are you sure that a pull up resistor is correct for your sensor? it may be wanting a pull down. 5v when hall is OFF 5v when hall is ON

just a cheap parallel port card and the stepper drivers that it came with. the para port card is nothing but patching the specific output wires from the DB24 port to the stepper drivers and the limit switches, z probe and e stop but through opto isolators for safety and with the addition of a couple of controllable relays. it relays on the computer itself to generate steps which so far seems to work fine. a large table such as yours may not be so gravy

im about 90% done with setting up a full linuxcnc controller on a dedicated box. but just a cheap breakout board instead of fancy mesa cards like yours, my cutting speed and small table is forgiving enough to run happy within its limitations it seems. i just need to physically install limit switches so homing works and setup auto z probe and then actually learn how to operate the thing properly.

yeah thats a pretty solid idea, with a known offset to the real tool it would be simple enough and remain accurate for any markouts or things in conjunction with actual cutting

I want to do that but with an Er11 chuck. Maybe the inside of a gel pen??

that could end up being an utter nightmare. the wording 'exactly the same as original' depending on tolerances could mean you design several after completing the analysis, presumably youd also need to FEA the original part too to gain the benchmark. unless you happen to be an engineer that would be a non starter, i don't disagree with it at all though, i see daily how how much work those crash/crumple zones do and thats work that's not being done by your body.

check with your insurance company if they can get a post incident valuation. ive had that in the past when i had an accidentally under insured car. i didnt even have to pay for it, though i also wasn't at fault.

i had the same problem on my car with the front disk brakes locking on. id put a master cylinder in that had residual valves on both circuits. i removed them and it made it better but the other problem was the pushrod that circlips into the master was too long inside and even full released was actually holding a bit of pressure. more of a side effect of using a Datsun master on a toyota but you may have a similar issue to check for.

dreamy, but i looked them up and found one for sale for over 5k usd?? i think i best stick to the $30 barn finds. Top of my list at at the moment is an enicar because i love the logo and i think the story behind their name is cool. their surname being Racine but another member of the family already used that for their watch brand so they just reversed it.

love the gentle evidence of age on that dial. a watch of this style is something ive always got an eye peeled for. id better fix up the old seiko sportsmatic first

the fuel pump might want a rewire of some sort or just a prime button fitted. its wired to only run when the engine is running which is good but if left to sit the fuel can evaporate in the carby and cause the hard starting. a priming push button would let you blast some fuel into the float bowl before starting. im sure there's a clever automatic solution available too if so inclined.

i think there was trepidation over the battery situation, too big and no real clamp means if it slid forward it would arc on the hood.

Great way to spend an afternoon.

will be there around 12 also. if someone could pm me address that would be great. i have a decent selection of tools. post up if any jobs are gonna require something not already accounted for and ill see if i have it.

didnt that guy put four intercoolers on his car too? man its been years since i saw that disaster of a project. performance forums was it? home of the overnight gearbox door step delivery service. someone link the whole thread if youve saved it to bookmarks please. hilarious that you're dealing with him, condolences

years ago i put a 5" sackbarrow tire on a yamaha mint for a burnout and it last 4 seconds. you can get solid sackbarrow tires which i assume would last for ages, longer than your vertebrae anyway

do not ask me why, but this post stuck in my brain from the moment i saw it a decade ago. and i thought about it every time i saw a gto. Photobucked ruined the gag, but it was a photo of a gto doing a skid @glen (ugly comment wasnt related to gto i dont think)

im the other member mentioned. keen to help and can bring tools if needed also. i hope nothing changes for me plans wise, shouldnt do, as i really want to do this

thats weird, last i heard he made it home to auckland fine but with some temp strangness but then at some point it did a headgasket and he had the original block sorted out and was putting it all back together. i helped him locate a head gasket ect. i wonder if it was for his other crown

a couple years ago dad was working for a place that did building maintenance and water blasting washdowns for all kinds of usually government or council property. he often went way out to the middle of nowhere with a waterblaster to wash a building and do any any repairs. most of the company had stupid modern pickups, but there was also a hiace supercustom 1kz 4wd (he personally owns a 1kz hiace 2wd and adores it) he wanted that, he then convinced them to install the heavy duty rear springs that he has fitted to his own van and then proceeded to have the most user friendly rig of the fleet. while others were carrying step ladders and rummaging around their dumb high side trays dad had all the space in the world. i kicked him a spare modern stereo head unit that i told the company they can keep if they let him fit it and he had music and comfort while he toured the back country towing probably 1500L of water and all his tools in the back with a clear 2nd row of seating for luggage storage/smoko room. Then people who had been with the company much longer tried to steal it from him but the owners were cool people and told them to jog since he had set it up himself and those people had turned their nose up at the old van in the corner.

didnt even know it existed! i did all the arranging the old fashioned way. thats super cool and will be usefull for other jobs (on my little cnc where space really matters) you also make a good point, i did not achieve the above at home with a drill and a rusty saw, lucky for me, my workplace has a full woodworking bay and i made good use of the large table saw and router table.

vista print do them for office purposes. from memory their website even has the tool to convert an image into the line with various sliders to to get it right. https://www.vistaprint.co.nz/stationery/stamps/self-inking-stamps nearly made her cry for $15 i also played pretend engineer and designed the whole lot on fusion 360. i modeled the room dimensions and did it this way for two reasons. firstly to get a feel for spacings and to play with colours and secondly so that i could tweak dimensions to maximize the sheet usage. i ended up with a tiny amount of wastage which i turned into a pretty decent shoe rack.

Reminds me that a while ago I asked about having library shelves machined. Well I decided that I wanted to do it all by hand since I'd always told my wife I would build her a library (not assemble her one) It's kinda messy at the moment because she's part way through post grad studies and there are a bunch of new books that need filing which means moving every book lol The large framed cartoon was designed (and tattooed) by her tattoo artist to resemble her, I also turned it into a stamp. It's not quite finished, I need to decide on what I'm going to do with the shelf edges, and I'm on the hunt for a structurally sound but old wooden ladder to fit with a rail. I'm quite happy with how many husbands get in trouble when their wives see it. Makes for an excellent space whenever I get to work from home. The work office sucks, our library is quite possibly one of the nicest environments I've ever been in (when not in messy Xmas holidays mode)

are the oversize holes still central? could you have some stepped dowels made up?
