CNC Machinist Calculator UltraG71 Check for metric setting, older code
Fadal G-code · Mill
Same as G21 on a Fadal. Checks the metric setting and does not change units.
Format
G71
How it works
Check only.
Example program
N1 G71 (CONFIRM METRIC SETUP)
N2 G0 G40 G49 G80 G90 G17
N3 T1 M6 (12MM END MILL)
N2 G0 G40 G49 G80 G90 G17
N3 T1 M6 (12MM 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.
