For instance, “G00” is a command for rapid movement. It moves the tool to part geometry at the maximum rate and is generally used to move the tool and part from near to far or vice versa. Here are some examples of G-code

How do you use G00?

G00 is used to position the cutter near where you want to start cutting, but we never enter a cut with G00. Doing so by mistake ensures a broken cutter or worse as rapids motion is way too fast for any kind of cutting. Most controllers start up with G00 active when you first turn on the machine.

What is G02?

G02 establishes a mode for clockwise circular arcs. G03 establishes a mode for counter-clockwise circular arcs.
