Hi,

Can anyone help? I have a Hardinge chnc1 with a 810T control, I am confused as to why the setting/tool/G54 screen always displays in imperial? How do I get this to display in metric?

I am using G71 in the part programs (that display in metric) but when I set tool heights/lengths these figures are still in imperial I am having to convert from metric to imperial before
inputing any setting data?

Am I missing something? I have only ever used G code on a Fanuc wire eroder so I am wondering if there is a parameter or something that can be changed so the machine
starts up in metric?

This is new to me as I have never programed a lathe with G code,

Thanks for any help,

Allen
