I understand what you said, but in CAM i set the stock diameter to 45mm and
after generating gcode I inspect it and i can see that X axis is maximum
position is around 48mm ( for return passes it retracts from work). But
still somehow in machinekit it thinks that it has to go twice the set X
distance in the gcode. I found something about G8 and lathe radius mode.
Maybe this has something to do with it.
