CNC Code Explanation
N25 G98 Feed per minute.
N30 M154 C-Axis Engage.
N85 M155 C-Axis Disengage.
These codes engage and turn on and off the C-axis motor.
The C-axis provides high-precision bi-directional spindle motion that is fully interpolated with X and/or Z motion.
N40 M133 P2000 Turn on live tool forward 2000 rpm.
N35 C0
N55 C120
N70 C240
C-Axis commands turns main spindle 0,120,240 degrees.
N90 M135 Live Tool Drive Stop
