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 you help with this?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02219026226037344179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-47885322389069399352016-02-12T03:44:24.731-08:002016-02-12T03:44:24.731-08:00Hi,

You might nee...Lathe is no different from the mill. You might need to improvise a bit, but the idea is generally the same. If you don't have the 1-2-3 blocks, just make something and measure it with an accurate micrometer.<br />On another note, I don't know why you would need better accuracy than 0.005 mm, though; I honestly don't know why you would need 0.005, actually. That is insanely close tolerance that you probably won't be able to achieve in an average workshop anyway, unless you're using a heavy uber-precise tool room lathe.<br /><br />Regards<br />YuriyYuriyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11394499166280606198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-41443985186748613102014-04-07T13:34:13.081-07:002014-04-07T13:34:13.081-07:00How to do the same with a lathe?

You can enter a trial value into the axis cpi then back out to the operation mode check the reading against the known value and repeat the correction until the scale reads the exact value you moved the axis.<br />I went in to town yesterday and tried to download the beta version . I am registered as a tester and registered at the Google store but every attempt to get the beta version go me to the version I have loaded I just do not use these fancy new toys enough. give me an IBM360 and good old Fortran and I can make headway faster :) Terry Linglenoreply@blogger.com
