Actually, the codes will not work on any CNC machine. Unfortunately, there are several versions of the language out there (ie, Macro 1, Macro 2, Fanuc, etc.). While many machines may be set up to use a variety of these, it it not guaranteed that all of them are contained in the system. From what I've seen on the web, there are language quirks due to the fact that the CNC manufacturers use a proprietary language along with their system integration. If this were not the case, then programs like EdgeCAM would not have a variety of G-Code converters for Fadal, Haas, etc.
