Title: We all make mistakes.
Post by: Tweakie.CNC on May 30, 2012, 04:20:32 AM

I don't normally post pictures of the trash but this may be of help to others.

I recently replaced the flexible coupling on my Y Axis and everything was fine until I cut this piece (which was profiled in two passes with a 30 degree engraving point).
The new coupling was bored 1/4" and the motor shaft is 6mm - what I thought was tight obviously wasn't (but it is now  ;D ).

I think you put too much demagnetism back in the coupler. I think You are getting close to creating a flux capacitor.

If it makes you feel any better, there's not enough forum space to show all the things that I have sent to the graveyard.

 ;D ;D ;D

In many ways it was extremely fortunate (for me) that I found this problem whilst profiling engraving laminate just 2mm deep. It could have been a whole lot worse if it had happened whilst VCarving an expensive piece of Teak.  :D

That's the problem these days................ no one takes pride in their work anymore!  Pssssssssttttttttt!

 ;D

If that's the worst you do Tweakie, I'm pretty sure you'll make it.  For those of you that have lived sheltered lives.......... I have attached a proper picture of what scrap really looks like.  Tweakie is just trying to throw you off.   ;D   I'm glad you got it sorted Tweakie else it may have turned into a real train wreck.

Just to be really cheerful - we had one of those here in Sydney (Australia) many years ago - but they were passenger carriages, not freight wagons.
