Understanding Rapid Travel and Linear Interpolation (G00&G01)

Let’s discuss G00 and G01 codes and how to use them. This video will also touch on the cartesian coordinate system, and incremental and absolute programming of G00 & G01.

G00 – rapid travel. This moves the machine as fast as it can go between point A and B. This is a straight line move.

G01 – linear interpolation, works similar to G00 except that it requires a feed rate to move.
