G-codes and M-codes are used in computer numerical control (CNC) machining to provide instructions to machines. G-codes describe tool positioning and motion, while M-codes control machine functions and actions. Common G-codes include G00 for rapid positioning, G01 for linear interpolation, and G02/G03 for clockwise and counterclockwise arc interpolation. Common M-codes control spindle speed, coolant flow, and other machine operations. Together, G-codes and M-codes are used to generate CNC toolpaths for milling, cutting, and other machining processes by specifying tool positions and machine actions.

G-codes and M-codes

CAD/CAM Presentation
G-codes and M-codes
• What Is CNC G Code?
G stands for geometry, and it's the alphanumeric format the system uses to tell the parts
what to do. It indicates where to start, how to move and when to stop.

• What Is CNC M Code?


M code is a part of the overall program, often called G code. While G commands describe
positions, M code directs the machine's actions. While M represents miscellaneous
codes, some refer to it as machine code because it controls particular operations of the
equipment.
The Functions of different letters in CNC Machining G Code
Code letter Function

N The N value gives the line number


G The G number tells when the tool to move and stop.
X, Y, Z These values indicate the position of the tool in three dimensions — X for horizontal, Y for vertical and Z for depth.

F F relates to how quickly the machine feeds the piece.


S S tells the machine how quickly to move the spindle.
T The T tells the machine which tool to use.
M M values give miscellaneous functions or machine functions, telling the device how to act by giving on and off
directions.
I and J These values indicate the incremental center of any arcs the machine makes.
R R gives the radius of arcs made by the machine.
P The program jumps in time or a delayed time with the P command.
