Programming
Here is an example of a center format command to mill an arc in incremental arc distance mode
(G91.1):
G17 G02 X1.0 Y1.6 I0.3 J0.4 Z0.9
That means to make a clockwise (as viewed from the posive Z-axis) circular or helical arc whose
axis is parallel to the Z-axis, ending where X=1.0, Y=1.6 and Z=0.9, with its center oset in the X
direcon by 0.3 units from the current X locaon and oset in the Y direcon by 0.4 units from
the current Y locaon. If the current locaon has X=0.7, Y=0.7 at the outset, the center is at X=1.0,
Y=1.1. If the starng value of Z is 0.9, this is a circular arc; otherwise it is a helical arc. The radius of
this arc would be 0.5.
In the center format, the radius of the arc is not specied, but it may be found easily as the distance
from the center of the circle to either the current point or the end point of the arc.
