Probably a stupid question. Tool tip radius, is labelled with "diameter" in the tool table. But I have to enter the radius, not the diameter, right?And this is independent of whether the machine works in G7 or G8 or not?ThanksW

I am pretty sure that, even for a lathe, the tool table entry is the diameter (or, more pedantically, twice the tip radius)

G7 / G8 has no bearing on the _tool_ rad/dia.

Did a bit of testing on the machine.

That's right, twice the radius must be specified.
