feeling dense trying to turn the pawn
Posted: Wed Jul 05, 2023 4:06 pm
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
