To do this, you need:
1. Open DrufelCNC.
2. Click on the "Show settings" button in the upper menu of the main window.
3. Go to the "Axes settings" tab.
4. Click the button to calibrate a particular axis. As an example, let's adjust the number of pulses along the X axis.

7. In the "Move speed" field, set the speed of movement. In our case, we will enter the value 300. Attention! This speed must be slow! So that you can quickly respond to an emergency and not damage the machine.

9. After the end of the tool movement, use the ruler to measure the actual distance the tool moved. Enter this value in the "The tool has moved to" field. In our case, this value is 25. Click the "Calculate" button.
