simple
code employed in
manufacturing engineering for the purpose of
machine control consisting of a
BASIC-like
incremental scheme with each
block of code containing at least one
geometrical position and at least one
tooling operation. e.g.
N100 M03 S1000 ---turns
spindle on at 1000 RPM
N200 M08 G03 X200 Y75 Z-50 R75 F150 --- coolant on, cut circle to point (200, 75,-50) with radius of 75mm at feedrate of 150 mm/min
you do not want to manually
program g-code, it is
tedious and you will end up
killing someone if the part
you WILL screw up on is
big and
hard enough. Leave the programming to
compilers that
generate g-code from
CAD drawings
