An axis in the metric system cannot be used together with a one in the inch
system, or vice versa. In addition, some features such as circular
interpolation and tool–nose radius compensation cannot be used for both
axes in different units. For the unit to be set, refer to the manual supplied
by the machine manufacturer.
The maximum stroke controlled by this CNC is shown in the table below:
