Setting a Correction Factor – F 03
F 03 allows you to compensate for nominal linear inaccuracies due to your machine or
for adding material shrinkage/expansion, as in mold work.
The maximum allowable settings are ± 40%.
Example: Consider a 1.325-inch (33.655 mm) travel on the display that is
only 1.320-inch (33.528 mm) actual distance moved on the axis.

3. Move the machine axis to 1.325 on the display.
4. Press the desired axis key again.
