I have an issue that I have been working on for about a week now and I can't seem to determine the resolution.
The Z axis is fine. However, the X is where my issue is at on this lathe. I measured the movement of the X and when I give an MDI command to move 1" I get a 1" movement on the dial indicator. However, when I run the pawn, it seems to take all movements as radius numbers vs. diameter numbers as the cut is twice as wide as it should be in X. I am showing DRO's in diameter. My X is set with 4000 steps/rev.
Thanks in advance,
Bob

Re: feeling dense trying to turn the pawn
You have a setting wrong. I can't remember what it is called exactly because I set it long ago. You want to be in diameter mode not absolute or something like that. When you command a move on X it should be half of what was commanded because you are removing material from both sides of the work piece.

Re: feeling dense trying to turn the pawn
I have PID 55 set to 0 for diameter mode. I am not sure where else to look

Re: feeling dense trying to turn the pawn
Then you have your steps per rev setting wrong. When you command a 1" move in X, the axis should only move 1/2" on the indicator.

Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.
