Title: Newbie here GCODE 101 Help
Post by: truckeic on May 28, 2019, 11:55:45 AM

Ok I am just now getting my Harbor Freight DIY CNC machine running and I have MACH3 running the machine, I loaded my first G Code file in Saturday and ran a test. It all seemed to work. I would like to know more about the G code. I have viewed many videos and understand the basics. Using MACH3 how does G52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59 work?
Fusion is putting in a G28 and I am reading this is not used anymore. What is G28 and why?

If there is a video or article that really explains this please share the link or if you can school me sure would be great.

Thanks

Take a read of the old Mach2 Documentation (towards the end) - that should at least answer some of your questions. https://www.machsupport.com/help-learning/product-manuals/
