16.1 Lathe G-Codes

Lathe G-Codes Introduction

This section gives detailed descriptions of the G-codes that you use to program your machine.

CAUTION:  The sample programs in this manual have been tested for accuracy, but they are for illustrative purposes only. The programs do not define tools, offsets, or materials. They do not describe workholding or other fixturing. If you choose to run a sample program on your machine, do so in Graphics mode. Always follow safe machining practices when you run an unfamiliar program.

NOTE: The sample programs in this manual represent a very conservative programming style. The samples are intended to demonstrate safe and reliable programs, and they are not necessarily the fastest or most efficient way to operate a machine. The sample programs use G-codes that you might choose not to use in more efficient programs.
