G69 returns the coordinate system rotated by G68 to normal. Turn cutter compensation on after the rotation and cancel it before canceling the rotation (Haas example).

◎On lathes: Meaning differs by machine (see G68)

The same number means something different on lathes (FANUC-type G-code system A).

≠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.
