G53 Machine coordinate move / Machine coordinate selection
Haas NGC G-code · Mill, Lathe
On mills: Machine coordinate move
Moves to a position in machine coordinates for one block, ignoring the work offset. Common for a safe Z home or a park position.
Format
G53 X Y Z [A B]
Addresses
| Address | What it does |
|---|---|
X Y Z A B | Position in machine coordinates |
How it works
Non-modal, group 00.
Example program
M09 (COOLANT OFF)
G53 G00 Z0. (Z TO MACHINE HOME)
G53 G00 X-15. Y0. (PARK THE TABLE)
M30 (END)
G53 G00 Z0. (Z TO MACHINE HOME)
G53 G00 X-15. Y0. (PARK THE TABLE)
M30 (END)
Example is in inch. Check offsets and clearances first.
Watch out for
- Machine Z0 is the top of travel. Negative values move down.
- Cancel cutter comp before G53.
On lathes: Machine coordinate selection
Moves in machine coordinates for that block only. Work and tool offsets are ignored. Use it for safe tool change and home moves.
Format
G53 X Z [Y]

How it works
Non-modal, group 00.
Example program
G00 G53 X0 M09 (X HOME, COOLANT OFF)
G53 Z0 M05 (Z HOME, SPINDLE OFF)
M30 (END PROGRAM)
G53 Z0 M05 (Z HOME, SPINDLE OFF)
M30 (END PROGRAM)
Example is in inch. Check offsets and clearances first.
Watch out for
- G53 X0 moves the turret to X home. Send X home first, then Z.
- Use with G00 for rapid moves.
