On mills: Set local coordinate system
Shifts the work coordinate system by the given amounts. The shift is added to the active work offset. Use it to repeat a pattern at several places.

X Y Z A B | Shift amount added to the work offset |
How it works
Modal shift, group 00. Cancel with G52 X0 Y0 Z0.
Example program
G52 X3. Y0. (SHIFT ZERO 3 INCHES IN X)
M98 P1002 (CUT THE FEATURE AT THE SHIFTED ZERO)
G52 X0. Y0. Z0. (CANCEL THE SHIFT)
Example is in inch. Check offsets and clearances first.
Watch out for
- The shift stays active until cancelled. Always cancel it when done.
- The G52 shift can also be seen and set on the work offset page.
On lathes: Set local coordinate system, FANUC
Selects a local coordinate system shifted from the active work offset, FANUC style. The Haas page gives only a short description.
Verify on your machine. This entry could not be fully checked against the maker manual. Check your machine manual before you run it.

Example program
G52 Z-2. (LOCAL ZERO 2 INCHES TOWARD CHUCK)
G52 X0 Z0 (CANCEL LOCAL SHIFT)
Example is in inch. Check offsets and clearances first.
Watch out for
- Cancel the shift with G52 X0 Z0 before the next part or it carries on.
- Most Haas lathe programs use work offsets instead.
