Re: Centroid CNC

I worked at a cnc shop over the summer, didnt do too much with programming, but some of the other g-codes

M00 manditory stop in the program
M01 optional stop (controlled by the optional stop switch on the machine)
M03 is spindle on, forward followed by a spindle speed I.E. M03S2000 for 2000 rpm forward
M04 dont know, but given that M05 is stop the spindle, I think that it would be spindle reverse
M05, spindle stop

M08 coolant on
M09 coolant off

Thats all I leaned, didnt do any programming, just ran the machines.
