G-CODES FOR MILLING

G codes
G-Code, or preparatory code or function, are functions in the Numerical control programming
language. The G-codes are the codes that position the tool and do the actual work. G-codes are only
a part of the NC-programming language that controls NC and CNC machine tools.

M codes
A word used to signal an action from a miscellaneous group of commands. M codes manage
the machine functions. M codes change cutting tools, turn on or turn off the coolant,
spindle, or workpiece clamps, etc.

Drill Point Depth &
Countersink Diameter Formulas
Example: To calculate for a 118-degree drill tip depth, multiply the Dia by 0.3
i.e., 0.25 drill diameter x 0.3 =0.075 drill tip depth.
If the drill angle changes the value also change accordingly as like the following table.

Drill Angle Factor to Multiply
60 Degree 0.866 x Dia of the drill =Depth point
82 Degree 0.575 x Dia of the drill =Depth point
90 Degree 0.500 x Dia of the drill =Depth point
118 Degree 0.300 x Dia of the drill =Depth point
120 Degree 0.288 x Dia of the drill =Depth point
135 Degree 0.207 x Dia of the drill =Depth point

No dimensional accuracy
No perpendicular side
Chipping
Wear
Breakage
Chattering
Short tool life (dull teeth)
PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
Chip packing

Too great a cutting amount Adjust feed or speed
Not enough chip room Use end mill fewer flutes
Not enough coolant Apply more coolant. Use air pressure

PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
Rough surface finish


Feed too fast Slow down to correct feed
Slow speed Use higher speed
Too much wear Regrind earlier stage
Chip biting Cut less amount per pass
No end tooth concavity Add margin (touch primary with oilstone)

PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
Burr
Too much wear on primary relief Regrind sooner
Incorrect condition Correct milling condition
Improper cutting angle Change to correct cutting angle

PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
No dimensional accuracy

Too tough condition Change to easier condition
Lack of accuracy (machine &
holder)
Repair machine or holder
Not enough rigidity (machine &
holder)

Not enough rigidity of machine
tool & holder
Change rigid machine tool or holder
Loose holder Tighten tool holder
Loose holder (workpiece) Tighten workpiece fixture
Lack of rigidity (tool)
Use shortest end mill available. Hold shank
deeper. Try down cut
Teeth too sharp Change to lower cutting angle, primary relief

PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
Wear



Speed too fast Slow down, use more coolant
Hard material
Use higher grade, tool material, add surface
treatment
Biting chips
Change feed speed to change chip size or
clear chips with coolant or air pressure
Improper feed speed (too slow) Increase feed speed. Try down cut
Improper cutting angle Change to correct cutting angle
Too low a primary relief angle Change to larger relief angle

PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
Breakage

Feed too fast Slow down feed
Too large cutting amount Adjust to smaller cutting amount per teeth
Too long flute length or long
overall length
Hold shank deeper, use shorter end mill
Too much wear Regrind at earlier stage

PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
Chattering



Feed and speed too fast Correct feed and speed
Not enough rigidity (machine &
holder)
Use better machine tool or holder or change
condition
Too much relief angle
Change to smaller relief angle. Add margin
(touch primary with oil stone)
Loose holder (workpiece) Hold workpiece tighter
Cutting too deep Correct to smaller cutting depth
Too long flute length or long
overall length
Hold shank deeper, use shorter end mill or
try down cut

PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
Short tool life
(dull teeth)
Too much cutting friction Regrind at earlier stage
Tough work material Select premium tool
Improper cutting angle Change cutting angle & primary
