Glossary

Feed Rate

The speed at which the cutting tool advances along the workpiece, typically measured in mm/min (millimeters per minute) or IPM (inches per minute) in CNC machining.

G-Code

The most widely used programming language for CNC machines. G-code commands control machine movements, spindle operations, coolant, and other functions through standardized alphanumeric codes.

Spindle Speed

The rotational speed of the machine spindle, measured in RPM (revolutions per minute). It determines how fast the cutting tool or workpiece rotates during machining.
