There is a scaling factor of 1.25 associated with all 3 axes on the VMC 1300, this is initialised by ground being connected to input 16 on the Baldor board. You can check this by running a program off your VR Milling CD called Workbench. Check out the link to our technical forum site below to point you in roughly the right direction. We need to check whether input 16 is high and if you type PRINT SCALE into the black command window at the bottom of workbench, it should give you the scale factor. This should be 1.25

Altenatively to check the status of Input 16 do the following .....
From the top menu bar of VR Milling Ver 5, Select, Setup / Debug Machine I/O, if you hover the cursor over the LED's it will tell you the I/O number, check that Input 16 is illuminated i.e. ON.
