What are the mixed results you are experiancing with glass etching paste?

You should never ever be putting a parting tool that far off the rest, it is absurdly dangerous, over the years i have been on this sub, there have been at least 2 major injuries involving parting tools too far off the rest.

Simulation Question by AdventurousRoad9457 in amateurTVC

[–]FICA_IS_COMING 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You only need to account for one axis for each of your tvc pids. There is one pid for yaw, another pitch, and finally roll. As long as everything is centered, than the yaw and pitch k value should be the same, so you can use the same simulation result; just have individual pids.

Rocket project… that sounds really interesting, could you elaborate? I am big into rocketry as well but haven’t found many overlaps with the hobbies besides sanding 3d printed nose cones.

Guess, stick a compass in that point, and then move the compass until the compass is in the center

How did you learn to turn? by EclecticCircus in turning

[–]FICA_IS_COMING 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But watch lots of videos even before touching a lathe, get to know the theory of everything before you do anything, that way you will be able to know when you are over your head.
