I intend to fit it with the same jack screw arrangement the Brownings have, 3 to pull it into the taper & crush it against the shaft, take 2 of them out and put in threaded holes in the flange to jack it open again. Probably 3/4" 10-32 cap screws that I haven't yet paid too much for at TSC. :)
Thanks to you I have (still slow but working) code, and I only had to change one math sign. Unforch, just as I had a ugly thought to speed up the initial roughing cuts, the repeated running of linuxcnc, and reloading this code to preview it, finally crashed that D525MW box. So I'll have to go out and power cycle it before I can work on that code any more. I did note one thing though, when X doesn't have to render that screen as I've been "ssh -Y" into that box, the gui actually runs smooth & in real time on this box here. Running the gui locally on that box and its screen update rate is about 2x a second & visibly behind the physical machine. Again, this is only when this code is loaded. But I have 2 more optimizing ideas that should help, its current runtime is 3500 minutes! Aka 58.something hours. First, get rid of a subroutine call by putting those 2 lines of code right in the if, not cutting air, endif, replacing that call. Then a bit of copy/paste and I should be able to do the first 95% of it with much heavier cuts, then revert to get a fine finish for the last 2 passes. Progress at this rate only counts when there isn't a deadline. One of the advantages of asking for, and getting, the old fart discount at the fast food windows. ;-) Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
