Sample of AI Generated G-Code Query

Prompt: write g-code to move a 1/4" bit from the starting point at x0,y0,z1.0 to a relative position +2" in the X direction and +1" in the Y direction. Plunge the bit down to -.25", and climb cut a two inch square. Retract the tool bit to a safe distance and return to the starting point.


Response:

Assuming that the machine is already set up and the workpiece is properly clamped, here is the G-code to move the 1/4" bit from the starting point at x0,y0,z1.0 to a relative position +2" in the X direction and +1" in the Y direction, plunge the bit down to -.25", climb cut a two-inch square, retract the tool bit to a safe distance and return to the starting point.

G90 ; Absolute positioning
G20 ; Units in inches
G0 X2 Y1 Z1.0 ; Move to the starting point at x0,y0,z1.0 to a relative position +2" in the X direction and +1" in the Y direction
G1 Z-0.25 F5 ; Plunge the bit down to -.25" at a feedrate of 5 inches per minute
G1 X2.5 Y1.5 F10 ; Climb cut a two-inch square at a feedrate of 10 inches per minute
G1 X2 Y1 Z1.0 F5 ; Retract the tool bit to a safe distance and return to the starting point


Please note that the feedrates and tool speeds specified in this code are just examples and may need to be adjusted based on the specific characteristics of the machine and the material being cut.
