G53 = Coordinate system referenced from machine home example: G53 X## Y## Z## (Go to this XYZ position referenced from machine home) G54 = Work coordinate shift,offset #1 example: G54 X## Y## Z## (Go to this XYZ position referenced from WCS #1) G55 - G59 = Work coordinate shift,offset G55-G59 example: G5# X## Y## Z## (Go to this XYZ position referenced from WCS G55-G59) G09 = Exact stop positioning move example: G09 F## X## Y## Z## (active for single block only) G61 = Exact stop cutting mode example: G61 X## Y## Z## (Decelerated at point XYZ, before next move) G64 = Exact stop mode off example: G64 X## Y## Z## (Tool is not decelerated at point XYZ) G63 = Feed overide lock out example: G63 X## Y## Z## G62 = Feed compensation on inner corner example: G62 G02 X## Y## I## J## G81 = Basic drilling cycle - Feed in , rapid out. example: G81 X## Y## Z## R## F## G82 = Counter bore cycle - Feed in, dwell, rapid out. example: G82 X## Y## Z## R## F## P#### G83 = Peck drilling cycle - Feed in peck amount, rapid out, rapid in within .050 of last peck & repeat until depth is reached. example: G83 X## Y## Z## R## F## Q## G84 = Tapping cycle - Feed in, spindle stop, reverse, feed out.

(reverse counter boring, back facing, back boring cycle). G90 = Absolute coordinate positioning. Points based from XYZ zero. example: G90 G00 X## Y## Z## G91 = Incremental coordinate positioning. Point to point positioning. example: G91 G00 X## Y## Z## G92 = Absolute Zero Pre-Set - An old format used to set XYZ Zero. The current position is set to the values shown in the line. example: G92 X10 Y5 Z-3 After running this command the current position is X10 Y5 Z-3. Very strange way to shift zero's. Avoid this code if you can. G94 = Feedrate is read as Inches/Minute. Used mostly for milling. example: G94 G01 X## Y## Z## F## G95 = Feedrate is read as Inches/revolution. Used mostly for turning. example: G95 G01 X## Y## Z## F##.### G96 = Constant surface speed (CSS) control (lathe). Increases the RPM as the tool moved closer to the center line of the part (smaller diameter). This keeps the amount of material (chip load) moving past the tip of the tool constant for and improved tool load, tool wear and surface finish. In the example below, the control will do an internal calculation to keep the tool moving at 200 surface feed/second. example: G96 S200 G97 = The opposite of constant surface speed control (G96). example: G97 G98 = Retract the tool to the starting Z height when drilling. Used for high retrect clearance moved between drilled holes. Assume Z is currently at Z+1.0. Running the line below will rapid to the R plane, drill to the Z depth and return to the starting height of Z+1.00 when the cycle is finished. example: G98 G81 X## Y## Z-.875 R.100 F## G99 = Retract the tool to the R plane when the drilling cycle is finished. Regardless of the starting height, the tool will return to Z.100 (the Rplane shown below). example: G99 G81 X## Y## Z-.875 R.100 F## G= example: G=
