Radius VS Diameter HELP

[jimbo5564@gmail.com]

I am having problems with the radius and diameter functions on my lathe set up.  After calibrating, when I move the cross slide 1 inch (checking with a dial indicator) the radius shows 1 inch but diameter only shows 0.500 when it should show 2 inches.  Can anyone help with this?

Sounds like you need to reverse the axis direction. Go into the X Axis settings and check the "Invert Readout" box (or uncheck it).

Thanks for your reply, but it has nothing to do with direction, it's the amount of travel. The diameter should show 2X what the radius shows, not half.
