G-code and M-code are both types of machine codes used in CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining.
G-code (geometric code) is used to control the movement of the machine tool and the workpiece. It specifies the toolpath, feed rate, spindle speed, and other parameters related to the physical movements of the machine.
Example of G-code: G01 X10 Y20 F100
This code tells the machine to move the tool to the coordinates X=10, Y=20 at a feed rate of 100 units per minute.
M-code (miscellaneous code) is used to control auxiliary functions of the machine, such as turning the spindle on or off, changing tools, or activating coolant systems.
Example of M-code: M03
This code tells the machine to turn the spindle on in a clockwise direction.
In summary, G-code controls the movement of the machine tool, while M-code controls auxiliary functions of the machine.

G-code (Geometric code) controls the movement of the machine's axes and tools. It is used to define the path of the tool, the feed rate, and the spindle speed. G-codes are typically modal, meaning that they remain in effect until they are changed by another G-code.
M-code (Miscellaneous code) performs miscellaneous functions, such as turning on the coolant, changing the tool, or pausing the program. M-codes are typically non-modal, meaning that they are only executed once and then they are reset.
Examples of G-codes:
- G00: Rapid traverse (move the tool quickly to a new position)
- G01: Linear interpolation (move the tool along a straight line)
- G02: Circular interpolation (move the tool along a circular arc)
- G03: Circular interpolation (move the tool along a circular arc in the opposite direction)
- G04: Dwell (pause the program for a specified amount of time)
Examples of M-codes:
- M00: Program stop
- M01: Optional program stop
- M02: End of program
- M03: Spindle on clockwise
- M04: Spindle on counterclockwise
- M05: Spindle off
- M06: Tool change
- M07: Coolant on
- M08: Coolant off
