AR: Opening angle
TURN= : Number of additional circular passes in the range from 0 to 999
AP= : Polar angle
RP= : Polar radius
Note
G2 and G3 are modal.
The circular motion is performed in those axes that are defined by the specification of the
working plane.
Example

N30 G3 X20 Y5 Z-20 I=AC(20) J=AC(20) TURN=2 ; Helix with the specifica-
tions: Execute two full cir-
cles after the starting posi-
tion, then travel to end
point.
