[Emc-users] Why are there different sizes of centre drills?

2024-05-10 Thread andy pugh
That's it. really. Why? A large-diameter one with a small drill point could make all the sizes. as far as I am aware the drilled hole is irrelevant. I suppose it might have mattered as a reservoir for the white lead in the days of solid centres. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a

Peter, I've ran into another bit of a snag. I have a couple of 24v relays from Automationdirect. The resistance on the coils is about 635ohms. I thought that the outputs on the 7i84 were supposed to be ok with running a small relay with up to about 40mA without needing a flyback diode.

Is there a way to bring out a tool offset to a hal pin? Here is a better description of what I'm trying to do. On this gang router machine I'm working on. I created an extra joint for each of the 8 stepper motors that move each of the 8 spindle Z axis. In the config I have the Z axis

I have used clonezilla and DD for both back up and restore. Some where I have an interactive bash scripted I wrote for using DD. In the past when going from a small drive to a new larger drive the most reliable way I found was to use DD to clone and move the data and the use gparted to expand

I assume the laptop runs Linux.If so then you’d use “dd” to clone the disk drive. “dd” is installed on every Linux system I’ve ever seem. So you already have it. This assumes you are copying it to an identical drive. The trouble is that you can not have booted from the drive you are
