CNC Machinist Calculator UltraG20 Check for inch setting
Fadal G-code · Mill
Checks that the control is set for inch. It does not change the units. G70 does the same.
Format
G20
How it works
Check only.
Example program
N1 G20 (CONFIRM INCH SETUP)
N2 G0 G40 G49 G80 G90 G17
N3 T1 M6 (1-2 END MILL)
N2 G0 G40 G49 G80 G90 G17
N3 T1 M6 (1-2 END MILL)
Example is in inch. Check offsets and clearances first.
Watch out for
- On a Fadal this code checks the units. It does not switch them. Units are set in the control setup parameters.
- If the program and the setup do not match, the control stops. Change the setup, not the program.
