On my system, that makes the error very close to 2x because if you enter the measured diameter, touchoff puts the value in the radius report of axis. > (it might help that my > lathe subs return to the programmed X or Z) I write mine that way too. :) > You can type mathematical expressions on the box, I don't know if you > can use the #5400 or #<_x> syntax in there. Never tried it. I'll have to play once I get the pid module whupped. ATM it is beating up on me. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
