Scale Factor
Scale factor is simply a multiplier that lets you expand or shrink your print’s dimensions
without performing complex calculations or affecting the proportion of your part. Simply
enter the number that you’d like your dimensions to be multiplied by, then run your pro-
gram as you normally would.
MILLPWR will adjust the programmed dimensions (but not the
tool size) automatically.
MILLPWR ’s scale default setting is 1.0000. A value greater than 1.0000 will increase your
part’s dimensions; a value less than 1.0000 will reduce them. This is saved to the configura-
tion block and will be remembered until it is reset by the user.
MILLPWR will display your current scale factor in the status bar (located towards the top of
your display screen).
To change the scale factor
• From Setup, highlight “Scale Factor,” then press the ENTER key.
• Make the necessary changes, then press the USE key.
• Continue with Setup or press the USE NEW SETTINGS softkey.
