Ce grosime are tabla ?

1.6mm

Yes, this is 5005 H32 Alloy

Did you mean 5052 H32? Do you know the diameter, thickness, and RPM? @@battynz

@@customflightltd4180 No, it's 5005, Diameter is 590mm and 0.9mm thick. Approx 600RPM

@@customflightltd4180 Are you a metal spinner or want to spin this on a lathe, cause I can tell you that this is one of the more difficult spins to produce. It's not for beginners.

Thank you for the info Patrick. I have spun a few things over the past 10 years, the biggest so far being 8" dia. I want to spin a 40" dia. 10" deep engine cowl nose bowl. I am building a custom, big, spinning lathe. I know there will be a steep learning curve going from 8" to 40" , but it's not my first machine build and I don't give up.@@battynz

Hey I loved the video. Interested in manufacturing some copper float balls. Is there anywhere you can point me towards to find more info?

This is Copper

No me impresiona porque soy del mismo oficio......lo que tendria que hacer la persona que ha grabado esto , es gravar al operario y saber el esfuerzo que hay

Yes sure thats fine.

why do you need one? Its got a long nose taper, its going to buckle regardless, i dont like his technique once he got around the corner, but you dont need to crimp every part you spin, only when you must.

@@FIVE-0-APOCALYPTO , why do you say that the blank is going to "buckle", even with a roller break/edge curl? I ran a manual lathe (mostly 60" swing, but sometimes a 40" or 80" or 110") for five plus years in the eighties, and a breakdown, either done via the roller and a board, or as a separate operation on a dedicated breakdown block, is what keeps the black from buckling (in combination with spinning technique). Yes, you can spin without a breakdown, especially on very small parts, but why wouldn't you want to increase efficiency when a breakdown would do so?

@@scottabrandeberry a break down is different than a crimp, I meant a crimp. There is no pre break down in this vid, since he started from a blank. Let me read and watch this again.

@@scottabrandeberry maybe he did start with a crimp? Its hard to tell. My point is, ive been in a lot of shops, i owned my own as well, i spun everything from .030 to 1.00" and people crimp the shit out of everything when most of the time its not needed if they know what they are doing. Is this video itself a pre breakdown for something else? Im starting to think it is. Even so, I don't like how he did it for the last ⅓ of the run. He's got a mild knot on the edge, plus its running uneven, which means he stretchted it in combination with no structural support around the corner. In other words, as soon as he got around the corner, he "played" with it too much instead of setting the corner and then thats when I myself would get aggressive, with the buckle already ironed out and back pass it to the corner and establish some flat and really hog into it from there and lay it down until I hear a light buckle and stop and that would be the end of my break down because now I'm pretty sure thats what this run is. I suspect there will also be a aneal as well but I don't know what the finished part looks like. Regardless, I don't like what he did on the last ⅓ and I know im right about that. Ive been in shops as a new guy and they give me a job with supervision and I set it up, no crimp, knowing the guy supervising is going to say wait you got to crimp it first and thats when the bullshit starts and I say what the hell for? And then spin it down while they stand there with that blank look in their face, they talk shit about me for a few months and after 6 months, they usually concede that im more advanced than they are, when all im trying to do is get the fkn work done, i fucking hate the ego shit that goes on in spinning, im not close to being the best, im just better than average, but on the high end stuff. Your basic low end production type spinners who scoop stretch the fuck out of parts quick for ornamental type work blow my ass out the water, I cant keep up with them but toward the end of my career, I was decent. I mean to just grab a bar of sharpened high speed steele and free hand trim a edge of aluminum just absolutely scared the shit out of me. But over time, I got used to it but I still think its insane. You really got to be paying attention and I believe 100% no matter what, a incident will eventually occur and it does. It just does eventually. I remember a guy instructing me on a job at a new shop with 2 missing fingers and I said to myself, fuck this, I don't like what hes telling me and why should I when the idiot has missing fingers. I didnt stay there long. 2 weeks i think. Fuck spinning, i hate it. Its a cool trade but competition and prices forces it to be a very dangerous trade.

Sounds like you having a tantrum

The lathe or lamp shade? The lathe at Axminster Tools Ltd. many thousands.

I meant the shade. Or do you know where I might buy a few. Thanks

Sorry, I don't. May I suggest going to Google and inserting "copper lamp shades" followed by the country you live in?

Thanks I tried nothing comes up that makes sense cost wise. I will try a manufacturer in the U.S. Thanks again

Hi Kurt, I make and sell these. They are around $300 NZD each without fittings or wiring or bulbs. Freight and duty are extra as I make these in New Zealand.

Yes, Have fixed the problem, you need to reload the FMU bootloader onto the unit. here is a link pixhawk.org/dev/bootloader_update Let me know if you have fixed it, then we all know this is the common problem. It may not be as straight forward as described, it is a little fickle sometimes.

Thanks Patrick! I'll give it a try

Well you were right! It wasn't as straightforward as is sounds at all, but I finally managed to get the new bootloader on the board and it fired right up! Thanks again Patrick!

Hey there, As you can see in the video, I never had this going properly cause it would not boot up with the battery, only via usb. Have been trying to get the seller to help fix it but no response, so contacted Radiolink aftersales and they helped kind of. Had to reflash the bootloader to get it working with the battery. So works now but haven't had it flying yet cause waiting for another pixhawk 2.4.8 generic version(cheaper). They are fairly easy to setup but haven't flown it yet. They will be exactly the same as the 3D robotics ones just less support. But I believe 3D robotics no longer make or sell it.

Patrick Yung I haven't done anything with mine I got it but rebuilding everything and having to rethink everything using leftover parts from my Tarot frame and some aluminum square tubing I ordered from hobbyking .I have been waiting for Radiolink to finish their download for the pixhawk but still says they are updating . I ordered it on the 5th and was the first time I looked at their site and it has been updating till now starting to think Radiolink may be a mistake . Got the AT10 radio and it had a bad cursor button . Give me a update if you get it up and running and I'll do the same . Thanks and good luck . Did you get all your download software from the Mission Planner page ?

I think I have mine all set and going now. Just waiting to take it to the field. Yes, everything downloaded fine. Most of the information you need is on the ardupilot.org website. Yes, I downloaded the firmware from mission planner and uploaded it to the pixhawk. I found that Q Ground Control has a much nice layout and GUI than mission planner and has the same functions. you should try that. I had to ask Radiolink after sales 3 times to get a response. and only threaten them with spreading bad stuff about their products. But yes, I don't think they are the best quality BUT you do get what you pay for.

Most of the DJI stuff I have is OK but the company stinks their service is useless , I know more about their products than they do . I had 3 bad crashes with the Naza M lite just going nuts and flipping over and smashing my 785mm quad I'm finished with them and the Naza M V2 I payed $300 for ain't much better I can't even guess how many times I have calibrated both and they still drift all over the place even my Phantom does the same . I have the same Pix as you but the people with APM once they get it right say never Naza again . I'll look Q up and take a look . If you would keep me up on what you run into along the way . Thanks to naza my big bird has cost me about double what it should I'd like to get close on the first try this time lol . Thanks for the advice I can use all I can get .
