Mach3 -> Camtronics -> Parallel P Replacement

Nice.

Now is about the time you are likely to find that threads (to a standard) are harder than they appear. ISO metric and SAE threads have a significant flat on the threads, taking them p/6 smaller than nominal. Whitworth and ISO pipe threads have a rounding that does the same, but is harder to machine.
If you are trying to fit to an existing part, don't keep reducing the diameter of a pointed thread until it fits. If you do then the root and thread thickness will be under. Draw your thread and touch-off the tool to get the major and minor diameters right with the actual tool.

ok thank you for the heads up and info. so far I was cutting my mess to my own bad mess of threads and not matching other than initially using a die as a sanity/learning check to first fix my numbers and then figure out how much slop I needed to add to get the die to roll ok.

I did finally get to the bottom of this. I was using a mini keyboard and was using (shift for some reason) 9 and 3 to move the Z axis. Not using the shift key the jog speed is normal.

Got tired of the Gigabyte Brix fan noise decided to get a better system when the garage starts to get hot in the summer etc. Picked of a Dell OptiPlex 990 and that seems to be much better.

 

I did try and do the good fight to get FC35 Server going.

It was close but at the end of a few days I reverted back with CloneZilla and this guide which is put together really nice qtpyvcp Bullseye

With the new kernel builds there is only the need to change grub for RT.
    preempt=full processor.max_cstate=1 idle=poll

If anyone wanted to take off where I left off with FC35.   Here are my notes based off the link above for Debian plus the hacks to get around the most notable few annoyances like yapps and WC3-LinkChecker
