4.5.4.1 Definition of G02/G03
G02: Clockwise (CW) Arc cutting
G03: Counter clockwise (CCW) Arc cutting
The arc outline on the workpiece is cut by G02 or G03 command. Milling machine workpiece is three-dimensional, so in different planes of its arc cutting direction as shown below. The definition of the way: the line of sight toward the positive direction of the plane vertical axis to the negative direction, clockwise G02, counterclockwise G03. The path of arc interpolation varies with the selection plane, so G17/G18/G19 must be given before the single-block program.
