Basic drilling cycle - Feed in , rapid out. Example: G81 X## Y## Z##
R## F##
Counter bore cycle - Feed in, dwell, rapid out. Example: G82 X## Y##
Z## R## F## P####
Peck drilling cycle - Feed in peck amount, rapid out, rapid in within .050
of last peck & repeat until depth is reached. Example: G83 X## Y##
Z## R## F## Q##
Tapping cycle - Feed in, spindle stop, reverse, feed out.
(note: this cycle will vary depending on the machine mfgr.)
Example: G84 X## Y## Z## R## F##
Boring cycles. Function & imput will vary depending on the machine
mfgr. Variations include....
Feed in, feed out.
Feed in, dwell, feed out.
Feed in, dwell, spindle stop, rapid out.
Feed in, dwell, spindle stop, move insert from wall, rapid out.
Rapid in, dwell, start spindle, feed up, dwell, rapid down, dwell
(reverse counter boring, back facing, back boring cycle).

Absolute coordinate positioning. Points based from XYZ zero.

Example: G90 G00 X## Y## Z##
Incremental coordinate positioning. Point to point positioning.
Example: G91 G00 X## Y## Z##
Absolute Zero Pre-Set - An old format used to set XYZ Zero.
The current position is set to the values shown in the line.
Example: G92 X10 Y5 Z-3
After running this command the current
position is X10 Y5 Z-3.
Very strange way to shift zero's. Avoid this code if you can.
Feedrate is read as Inches/Minute. Used mostly for milling.
Example: G94
G01 X## Y## Z## F##
Feedrate is read as Inches/revolution. Used mostly for turning.
Example: G95
G01 X## Y## Z## F##.###
Constant surface speed (CSS) control (lathe). Increases the RPM as the
tool moved closer to the center line of the part (smaller diameter). This
keeps the amount of material (chip load) moving past the tip of the tool
constant for and improved tool load, tool wear and surface finish. In the
example below, the control will do an internal calculation to keep the tool
moving at 200 surface feed/second.
example: G96 S200
The opposite of constant surface speed control (G96).
example: G97
Retract the tool to the starting Z height when drilling. Used for high
retrect clearance moved between drilled holes. Assume Z is currently at

Z+1.0. Running the line below will rapid to the R plane, drill to the Z
depth and return to the starting height of Z+1.00 when the cycle is
finished.
example: G98 G81 X## Y## Z-.875 R.100 F##
Retract the tool to the R plane when the drilling cycle is finished.
Regardless of the starting height, the tool will return to Z.100 (the Rplane
shown below).
example: G99 G81 X## Y## Z-.875 R.100 F##
