CNC Lathe Programming Using Fanuc G-Coding & M-Coding

Looking to launch a career in machining? This CNC lathe programming course provides a solid foundation in manually programming CNC lathes using G-code and M-code. You'll gain essential skills to operate and program CNC lathes without needing CAD/CAM software.

What You'll Master:

• 2-Axis CNC Lathe Programming: Build a strong understanding of programming for 2-axis CNC lathes.
• Cartesian Coordinate System: Learn to navigate and utilize the Cartesian coordinate system for precise machining.
• Safe & Structured CNC Programs: Develop best practices for writing clear, safe, and well-organized CNC programs.
• Tool Changes & Offsets: Master the techniques for managing tool changes and understanding tool offsets.
• Spindle Speed Control (G96 & G97): Understand and apply G96 (metal chip load) and G97 (spindle speed) for optimal cutting performance. Includes a detailed breakdown of the surface speed formula.
• Essential G-Codes: Become proficient with fundamental G-codes including G0 (Rapid Traverse), G01 (Linear Interpolation), G02/G03 (Circular Interpolation).
• Canned Cycles: Learn to utilize powerful canned cycles for common machining operations. Each cycle includes full code breakdowns:
  • G71 – Roughing Cycle: Efficiently remove large amounts of material.
  • G70 – Finish Pass Cycle: Achieve precise final dimensions.
  • G83 – Peck Drilling: Create accurate and consistent holes.
  • G72 – Facing Cycle: Produce flat, parallel surfaces.
  • G75 – Grooving Cycle: Machine grooves with precision.
  • G75 – Part-Off Cycle: Accurately cut parts to the desired length.

This course focuses on understanding why and how each code works, not just copying and pasting.
