How it works
Modal, group 02. Usually the power on state.
Example program
G20 G17 G40 G49 G80 G90 (SAFETY LINE)
G54 G00 X0. Y0. (WORK OFFSET)
G43 H01 Z1. (LENGTH OFFSET)
G54 G00 X0. Y0. (WORK OFFSET)
G43 H01 Z1. (LENGTH OFFSET)
Example is in inch. Check offsets and clearances first.
Watch out for
- Put G17 in the safety line. A program left in G18 or G19 cuts arcs in the wrong plane.
- Drilling cycles drill along the axis normal to the plane, Z for G17.
