G Code Commands FAQ

How many G codes are there?

There are about 100 g code commands, give or take. There are many dialects of g-code, and some have proprietary
g-codes.

What are G Codes in CNC Machines?

This page lists all the G code commands and tells what they do and also gives a link to tutorials and examples. G
codes are single letter commands that tell the CNC machine what to do. They may command motion (i.e. tell the
machine where to cut) or do things like turn the spindle on or o .

Is learning G-Code hard?

Learning g-code isn’t very hard. We have a complete free online g-code tutorial to teach you as well as a g-code
simulator that makes learning easy.

Why are G Codes used?

G Codes make CNC Machines programmable, which gives them the exible to make almost any part.

What is the di erence between G codes and M codes?

G-Codes are about Geometry while M-Codes are about Machine functions.

Do all CNC machines use G-code?

Not all CNC machine use G-Code. Some may have both g-code and other ways of programming, for example
alternate languages such as Mazak’s Mazatrol or Conversational Programming. Others, may have an alternate
language and no ability to execute g-code at all.
