TOP FIVE ** MUST KNOW ** G Codes You Will Use For & How To Use Them on your cnc, Router Laser, gcode
If you're new to CNC routers, understanding G-code is essential. Without G-code, your CNC machine is just an expensive paperweight. In this beginner-friendly tutorial, we break down the five most important G-codes: G0, G1, G20, G21, and G28. You’ll learn the difference between rapid moves and feed rate moves, how to send your CNC home, and how to switch between inches and millimeters without crashing your machine. G-code is the language CNC machines use to move through various motions. In other words, if you want the machine to move, it must have g code commands to tell it how to move. G-code and CNC machines are married. They cannot work without each other. This video covers the top 5 you will need to know about when getting into CNC machining or routing. These work in any CNC machine that uses gcode, including routers and lasers. This works for all CNC machines, routers, lasers, bobscnc, shapeoko, x-carve, xcarve, etc This CNC code will get you started in your CNC endeavors. The top 5 G-codes you must know in CNC are: G0 - Linear rapid motion G1 - Linear feed rate G28 - Rapid to the home position G20 - The machine will move in inches G21 - the machine will move in millimeters Timestamps G0 & G1 - 1:11 G28 - 7:12 G20 & G21 - 8:33 __________________________________ ROUTER BITS FOR CNC ROUTERS 12pc Complete CNC Router Bit Starter Set → https://www.idcwoodcraft.com/11P-SET-W 6pc Essentials CNC Router Bit Starter Set → https://www.idcwoodcraft.com/6P-SET 1” Ultra-Smooth Cutting Surfacing Bit → https://www.idcwoodcraft.com/SU-10 Other bits: IDC Woodcraft Website → www.idcwoodcraft.com ----------------------------------------------------- IDC Woodcraft Mobile App (FREE) Apple → https://link.idcwoodcraft.com/vax4kc Android → https://link.idcwoodcraft.com/32hhz5 ----------------------------------------------------- OTHER ‘MUST HAVES’ FOR CNC ROUTERS Calipers → https://link.idcwoodcraft.com/vp2a3e Sanding/Buffing Brushes → https://link.idcwoodcraft.com/u01ge2 CA Glue - 10% Off with Code: "IDC WOODCRAFT": https://link.idcwoodcraft.com/5fj21e ------------------------------------------------------ RECOMMENDED DESIGN SOFTWARE Vcarve Pro (RECOMMENDED) → https://link.idcwoodcraft.com/c19df4 Vcarve Desktop → https://link.idcwoodcraft.com/63mso5 Vectric Aspire → https://link.idcwoodcraft.com/7zfwyp Cut2D Desktop → https://www.vectric.com/products/cut2... ----------------------------------------------------- COMPLETE VECTRIC SOFTWARE TRAINING → https://academy.learnyourcnc.com/a/21... ---------------------------------------------------- GSENDER CNC CONTROL → https://sienci.com/gsender/?ref=IDCWO... ---------------------------------------------------- CNC RESOURCES CNC Set Up Checklist → https://link.idcwoodcraft.com/xi8r0n Ultimate CNC Router Buyer’s Guide → https://link.idcwoodcraft.com/xxakuh Machine Setup Checklist → https://link.idcwoodcraft.com/yz5k2m ----------------------------------------------------- RECOMMENDED CNC ROUTERS Altmill CNC Router → https://link.idcwoodcraft.com/k0ecg7 Longmill CNC Router → https://link.idcwoodcraft.com/a0x8z9 --------------------------------------------- CNC ENTREPRENEURS Facebook Group → / cncentrepreneurs ------------------------------------------------------ CNC Insiders (free files and more) → https://idcwoodcraft.com/cnc-lp2-free... ------------------------------------------------------ SUPPORT THE CHANNEL → https://www.buymeacoffee.com/garrettf... ------------------------------------------------------ PODCASTS → https://anchor.fm/cnc-for-beginners ------------------------------------------------------ Email: [email protected] Key Points: 00:00 → Why G-Code Matters in CNC 01:35 → What Is G-Code? 03:20 → G0 Rapid Move Explained 06:10 → G1 Feed Rate Move Explained 10:15 → Demonstrating G0 vs G1 13:40 → G28 Home Command 16:10 → G20 vs G21 (Inches vs Millimeters) 20:30 → Common Beginner G-Code Mistakes 23:00 → Recap: 5 Essential G-Codes #cnc #cncrouter #gcode #cncbeginner #cnctips #cnctraining #makercommunity #woodworking #cncmachine #cncprogramming #learncnc #idcwoodcraft
