Dro Diameter to Radius

Awleaphart · Oct 28, 2019

Hello,
I have a Grizzly Dro on one of my Mills that I installed onto a Lathe. I want to change it from Diameter to Radius but it doesn't have the R and D button on it. I think its like that because its a Mill DRO? I was wondering if anyone knows how to get into the settings to see if there is an Option to change it.

It is just a matter of the scale resolution. If there are parameters that you can set, then you can 'lie' about what the scale resolution is and perhaps get a diameter equivalent reading out of it. However, the ACTUAL scale resolution may be almost too low to be useful. If the scale resolution is .001" then that means .002" on diameter and that, in turn, means that you can't detect a position error with it until it decides to resolve the next graduation, so your precision may suffer.
