35+ Useful G-Code and M-Code Commands You Might Not Know

  Like most coding languages, G-code looks strange when you first see it. There’s no apparent rhyme or reason, the numbers don’t seem to relate to each other, and the whole thing can appear a bit haphazard. It gets even stranger when you try to tell the codes themselves to the machines they work with.

The Most Important Milling Machine Safety Precautions

Milling machines use rotating milling cutters and other cutting tools to remove material from metal, wood, and different workpieces. These tools often run at high cutting speeds, causing chips and other flying debris to exit the workpiece at dangerous speeds during the milling operation. Flying chips can cause an eye injury if they land in

29. Create a Peck Drilling Program in Circular or Rectangular Patterns
Using the Circular or Rectangular Drilling Wizards, you can program the machine to drill an un-limited series of holes along the X and Y planes. Program it to drill straight through to your total depth, use a high-speed pecking cycle, or deep hole pecking cycle. You can program the cut-in depth and return point for a controlled peck drill application to maximize chip clearance.
