G00

Machining center, LatheModal, group 01

Rapid positioning (rapid traverse)

⌨Format and notes

G00 X_ Y_ Z_ (lathe: G00 X(U)_ Z(W)_)

The rapid traverse rate itself is set on the machine side and is not specified with F
A non-cutting move. You must make sure the path does not hit the workpiece or fixture
On lathes, X is a diameter value and U/W are incremental (FANUC-type G-code system A)

Diagram: Rapid (G00) and cutting feed (G01) paths

In G00 each axis moves at its own max speed at the same time, so a diagonal move may be a bent path (a machine setting can make it straight). Position along a path that clears fixtures and the workpiece.

≠Differences between controls and machines

The same code can be written or assigned differently depending on the CNC control and the machine builder. Always check your machine’s manual.
