2.13 G53: Move in absolute coordinates

For linear motion to a point expressed in absolute coordinates, program G1 G53 X-

Y- Z- A- B- C- (or use G0 instead of G1), where all the axis words are

optional,except that at least one must be used. The G0 or G1 is optional if it is the

current motion mode. G53 is not modal and must be programmed on each line on

which it is intended to be active. This will produce coordinated linear motion to the

programmed point. If G1 is active, the speed of motion is the current feed rate (or

slower if the machine will not go that fast). If G0 is active, the speed of motion is

the current traverse rate (or slower if the machine will not go that fast).

It is an error if:

* G53 is used without G0 or G1 being active,

* or G53 is used while cutter radius compensation is on.

See Section [sub:Coordinate-Systems] for an overview of coordinate systems.

2.14 G54 to G59.3: Select Coordinate System

G59.3:>

To select coordinate system 1, program G54, and similarly for other coordinate sys-

tems. The system-number-G-code pairs are: (1-G54), (2-G55), (3-G56), (4-G57), (5-

G58), (6-G59), (7-G59.1), (8-G59.2), and (9-G59.3).

It is an error if:

* one of these G-codes is used while cutter radius

compensation is on.

See Section [sub:Coordinate-Systems] for an overview of coordinate systems.

2.15 G61, G61.1, G64: Set Path Control Mode

G64:>

Program G61 to put the machining center into exact path mode, G61.1 for exact

stop mode, or G64 P- for continuous mode with optional tolerance. It is OK to

program for the mode that is already active. See Section [sub:Path-Control-Mode]

for a discussion of these modes.

2.16 G80: Cancel Modal Motion

Program G80 to ensure no axis motion will occur. It is

an error if:
