G00 c Rapid traverse movement. Used to move the tool away from the part or to move the tool near the part in a short period of time.

G01 c Linear interpolation. Used to make a feed rate move either straight or at an angle.

G02 c Circular interpolation. Used to make a feed rate move in a clockwise direction.

G03 c Circular interpolation. Used to make a feed rate move in a counter-clockwise direction.

G04 n Dwell - time delay

G40 Cancel compensation offset

G41 Compensation offset left

G42 Compensation offset right

G90 Absolute positioning

G91 Incremental positioning

Other ( Codes or Words )

F n Feed rate. Used to set the speed the tool will move along the part. Could be in inches or in millimeters.

S n Spindle speed. Used to set the revolutions per minute ( rpm ) of the spindle rotation.

T n Tool selection. Used to change to a tool position on a machine with multiple tool holders.

D n Tool offset. If the machine uses "D" then a page listing the offsets should be found.

Note: The lower case "n" to the right of the codes is a number value. Some codes are not used or are handled differently because of the varied applications and uses of the machine.
