Enter the whole number of the difference between the cut and measurement, if it's 0.005 larger in diameter you need to enter -0.005. This is for lathe front tool post in diameter mode.Īfter you setup your tooling and make a few test runs, you can enter the needed adjustment or as your turning a run of parts and periodically need to compensate for tool wear or other anomalies on the X or Z axis. The easiest being 'Tool Adjust' and enter the desired correction into the wear field off either X or Z For all the new guys I found that there are a few ways to do tool cut adjustments on the fly.
