Gerald D · #**1363** Wed 01 June 2011, 06:13

Hennie & Kobus love their red meat - they will enjoy Satays....about 20 each!

hennie · #**1364** Wed 01 June 2011, 06:21

It is time to speak our Language please.

KenC · #**1365** Wed 01 June 2011, 06:41

Oh, you will know the language once you feast on Malaysian delicacy.
Steamboat
Satay
Bah Kut Teh

Kobus_Joubert · #**1366** Wed 01 June 2011, 12:43

I might go for the Steamboat...looks like FOOD.
When we lived in Holland we were introduced to Satay...not enough meat for us red meat lovers.
Definetly not Bah Kut Teh.... I am NOT SICK and don't eat soup.

Jan de Ruyter · #**1367** Thu 02 June 2011, 00:49

Kobus, as a fellow meat lover, I can recommend Bah Kut Teh, provided it is served in Klang and your host is Ken. Nice stuff.

There is a restaurant in Benoni called Lemon Grass, they serve Malay food, including satay, great stuff!

[QUOTE=Kobus_Joubert;50753. . .
I was very worried that I would also have sporadic movement on my MM when I go the spindle route.
I connected the unit on Saturday and the machine has been running non stop without any problems. I did not add filters, special wiring and earthing to my setup.[/QUOTE]

if i may ask, what wire did you use for your VFD to spindle?

i guess while i'm asking - would you describe how your quick mount plate works

cheers,
robin

Kobus_Joubert · #**1369** Sun 12 June 2011, 07:05

Hi Robin,

When I started my MechMate I thought this thing is pulling MAJOR Amp's so I bought a 100m roll of 2.5mm 4 core CABTYRE
4core.jpg

I used this to my steppers and also to run my router back then.
All I did with the Spindle is to use 3 of the 4 cores from VFD to Spindle.
No earthing NOTHING.

The quick release bracket was in the plans I think. All it is is a small plate with 2 indexing pins and a 8mm threaded hole.
This plate then fit onto your Z-Plate...the 2 pins locate into holes on Z-Plate and one 8mm bolt goes from the back of the Z-plate (rectangular tube) into the mounting plate. All you have to do is to undo the 8mm bolt and the spindle pops free.

See my build log http://www.mechmate.com/forums/showt...&postcount=162

Nice acanthus leaves . Been reading a lot about those in metal work lately.

Kobus_Joubert · #**1373** Thu 16 June 2011, 12:34

Oh is that what it is called? Got the STL files FREE with Aspire 2.5 when I bought the program.

MetalHead · #**1374** Thu 16 June 2011, 13:40

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acanthus_(ornament)

This form of leaf motif has been in design for thousands of years. I am reading a book that goes into detail about the different styles and changes this plant leaf has gone through over the years.

Cool stuff really. If history were taught this way more people would be interested for sure !!!

Just did a MAD thing and registered for the 2011 Vectric User Group Meeting in Las Vegas.
Any suggestions on what to do there....I am married...

domino11 · #**1376** Fri 15 July 2011, 08:25

Kobus,
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Alan_c · #**1377** Fri 15 July 2011, 11:53

Get married...again...by Elvis

Kobus_Joubert · #**1378** Fri 15 July 2011, 12:12

I will have to get married to Elvis as I plan to go alone.

Maybe I can get a SA buddy to go with.

That worries me Heath....I hope EVERYTHING stay's in Vegas.

hennie · #**1379** Fri 15 July 2011, 12:56

what did you do to get your wife to let you go alone

domino11 · #**1380** Fri 15 July 2011, 13:03

Kobus,
You should get her to come with you. There is lots for her to do during the day while you are at the User Group meeting.
