    Lathe Diameter or Radius

    Sprut Cam seems to output radius. Mach is in Diameter mode. How do you make these two match? (Duality Lathe)

    David welcome to the zone

    Mach3 can work in either mode !

    As for Sprutcam it would be disappointing if both options weren't available.

    Diameter mode is easiest.

    I did not figure out how to change the mode but they did spend alot of time with me on the phone and got everything worked out. They sent me a new post processer version 15.

    Edit Sprutcam post processor ....... force it out in diameter, I never see Sprutcam post but I think one or two number make it output diameter instead radius.
    The best way to learn is trial error.
