Just wondering if there’s a setting somewhere I’ve missed that will allow me to change the default 6.35mm diameter of the bit when zeroing to 3.157mm without having to make the change every time I zero…I’ve been mainly using 1/8" shank bits.  
I don’t mind changing from 3.175mm back to 6.35mm on the rare occasion I use a 1/4" bit.  
Thanks for any help

Change the default units in the controller to ‘Imperial’ measurements.

You can change it in the settings menu:
