Format
|
Purpose
|
| F
|
Feed Speed
|
F<speed>

|
Dwell Time
|
G4 P<milliseconds>

|
| G92
|
Set Absolute Origin
|
G92 X<#> Y<#> Z<#>
|
Sets the origin that is referenced when in absolute mode.
|
| M0
|
Program Stop/Pause
|
M0
|
Stops the g-code file from being further processed until the operator presses Continue or Start.
|
| M30
|
End of Data
|
M30
|
Marks the end of the file. The rest of the file will not be processed.
|
| M3 or M4
|
Spindle On

| Code
|
Command
|
Format
|
Purpose
|
| G0
|
Rapid Move
|
G0 X<#> Y<#> Z<#> A<#>
|
Moves one or more of the axes at the rapid speed, to the specified location. Note that not all axes are required to be specified.
|
| G1
|
Straight Line
|
G1 X<#> Y<#> Z<#> A<#>
|
Moves the specified axes in straight (linear) motion. It will use the requested feedrate, either from the F command or whatever the cut speed has been specified to be. This is a cutting move.
|
| G2
|
Clockwise Arc
|
G2 X<#> Y<#> I<#> J<#>
or
G2 X<#> Z<#> I<#> K<#>
or
G2 Y<#> Z<#> J<#> K<#>
|
Moves two axes (XY, XZ or YZ) along the path of an arc in a clockwise direction. The XY specification is the end position, and the IJ specification is the center of the arc.
|
| G3
|
Couterclockwise Arc
|
G3 X<#> Y<#> I<#> J<#>
or
G3 X<#> Z<#> I<#> K<#>
or
G3 Y<#> Z<#> J<#> K<#>
|
Moves two axes (XY, XZ or YZ) along the path of an arc in a counterclockwise direction. The XY specification is the end position, and the IJ specification is the center of the arc.
