Lathe Acorn Six x movement

Unless I am thinking about it wrong, he would need to change it from 5mm/rev to 10mm/rev, if he wants his motor to make half as many revs for a given requested distance.

You're right. Once again I get this backwards. Maybe in another 10 years I'll have it straight

How Can I get my x to move 25mm instead of 50mm? I enter in 50mm and it goes 50mm not 25mm.

did you test that you have the steps per rev set correctly? do this first before changing the overall turns ratio.
