Sounds like you are running a lathe in diameter mode, which is normal.
Jog moves always move the axis the amount defined in the jog setup,
but a G-code commanded move would move the amount needed to
change the diameter by the amount specified. When you observe
the move as radius it is half the value specified in diameter mode.
This diameter/2 = radius move conversion affects only the X axis, and
only happens for lathes, and only when set up for diameter mode.
