Hi Jeff,
At this point in time you must use a G-code written for moves based
on radius measurements rather than diameter.
How you set up depends on how the code was written; what suppositions
are made. Did a program write the code? What program?
Hope that helps a little. If you tell us more we can help more.

I just got my cnc lathe going and tried a first threading cut then
realized I really don't know how to start. The z axis set up seems
straight forward but I have no undestanding of how to set up the X
axis start point. As I look at the G code every X move is based on
diameter - so I touched the material with the tool and manually
entered the starting point as the diameter value - needless to say
things cut a bit deep. Can someone give me a brief set up tutorial.
I searched the archives without much success.
Many thanks - Jeff E.
