Title: Mach4 Lathe 3481 Demo, Inc. Jog, Dia mode
Post by: Overloaded on January 30, 2018, 10:36:12 AM

Lathe, Diameter Mode
Inc. Jog Step = 0.0010
The X MACHINE DRO increments 0.0010
The X PART DRO increments .0020

Shouldn't the Machine dro increment by 0.0005 ?
and the Part dro by 0.0010 ?

If it should be changed, where/how (roughly) would one go about it.
Thanks,
Russ

When in diameter mode I think that if you jog .001 then the DRO should indicate .001 and the tool should move .0005 IMHO.

Precisely  ;) THANKS !
Just need to figure/learn how to fix it.
It needs to divide the increment by 2 for the MACHINE DRO instead of multiplying it by 2 for the PART DRO.

Thanks again,
Russ

I don't think you can change that behavior. Probably best to open a ticket with NFS on this one.

Hi,
I also noticed this inconvenience. in diameter mode the displacements with Jog take twice the value.
