LETTER ADDRESSES
Some letter addresses are used only in milling or only in turning; most are used in both.

Variable
A

Description
Absolute or incremental position of A
axis (rotational axis around X axis)

Absolute or incremental position of B

axis (rotational axis around Y axis)

Absolute or incremental position of C

axis (rotational axis around Z axis)

E
F

Defines diameter or radial offset used for

cutter compensation. D is used for depth
of cut on lathes. It is used for aperture
selection and commands on photo
plotters.
Precision feedrate for threading on lathes
Defines feed rate

Address for preparatory commands

Defines tool length offset;

Incremental axis corresponding to C axis

(e.g., on a turn-mill)
Defines arc center in X axis
for G02 or G03arc commands.

I
Also used as a parameter within some
fixed cycles.
Defines arc center in Y axis
for G02 or G03arc commands.
J

Also used as a parameter within some

fixed cycles.
Defines arc center in Z axis
for G02 or G03arc commands.

Also used as a parameter within some

fixed cycles, equal to L address.
Fixed cycle loop count;

Specification of what register to edit

usingG10
M

N
O
P

Miscellaneous function
Line (block) number in program;
System parameter number to be changed
using G10
Program name
Serves as parameter address for various
G and M codes

Peck increment in canned cycles

Defines size of arc radius, or defines
retract height in milling canned cycles

Defines speed, either spindle speed or

surface speed depending on mode

T
U
V
W

Y
Z

Tool selection
Incremental axis corresponding to X axis
(typically only lathe group A controls)
Also defines dwell time on some
machines (instead of "P" or "X").
Incremental axis corresponding to Y axis
Incremental axis corresponding to Z axis
(typically only lathe group A controls)
Absolute or incremental position of X
axis.
Also defines dwell time on some
machines (instead of "P" or "U").
Absolute or incremental position of Y
axis
Absolute or incremental position of Z
axis
