Foundation to CNC Programming

Learn to program and edit G Code with no previous knowledge.

Learn the basics of CNC programming
The introduction to CNC G-Code course

The foundation course is the first course in the professional G-Code programming series. During these online video lessions, we will cover how each GCode and MCode command works in depth. Then we write a short program using the GCodes so you can learn how it works within a program.

Aimed at beginners in the world of CNC programming with no previous G-Code programming knowledge required.

Learn the GCodes

  • G00 and G01 Linear move
  • G02 and G03 Radius
  • G20 and G21 Metric and imperial
  • G40, G41 and G42 Cutter compensation

    • Learn the MCodes

  • M00 and M01 stop commands
  • M03, M04 and M05 to control the spindle
  • M08 and M09 Coolant

    • Write the Program

  • T and S values and how to use them
  • The calculations
  • Turning drawings into parts
  • plus much, much more

    • How this course will help
    Better Career Prospects

    Mastering G-Code as a CNC turner can open up more job opportunities, making you a more attractive candidate to employers. This can lead to higher salaries and better job positions.

    Improved Efficiency

    Learning G-Code can help you write more efficient programs, reducing machine downtime and increasing productivity. G-Code is often much quicker than CAD/CAM when programming lathes.

    Access to Resources

    Enrolling in the course provides access to valuable resources and reference material that you can refer to long after completing the training. Revist the content as often as you like, for life.

    Greater Job Security

    Having in-demand skills can provide greater job security as you become an invaluable asset to your company.

    Less crashes, more confidence

    Proper training helps reduce programming errors, leading to fewer machine crashes and can boost your confidence in handling complex machining tasks.

    Enhanced Creativity

    Understanding the intricacies of G-Code allows you to get creative with your machining processes, leading to innovative solutions and designs, quickly making you the rockstar of your shop.

    G Code is the programming language of CNC Machines. It is made up of GCode commands and MCode commands that look like 'G00, M01' with positional commands that tell the machine where to move to. It is a lot easier than learning a programming language such as JavaScript or even HTML!

    With this GCode tutorial course, I will guide you through this fascinating programming language so that you feel confident machining parts using your CNC Router or CNC Mill.

    Each G-CODE and M-Code command is discussed in easy to follow bite-size lessons with example programs to make learning to program GCODE easy.

    his GCode tutorial covers a range of different subjects providing you with a complete foundation for programming your CNC Machine.

  • GCODES and MCODES
  • Machining lines and radius
  • Cartesian coordinate system explained
  • How cutter compensation works
  • Climb milling vs conventional milling
  • And many more
    • The Course includes 4 full programs!

    Excellent, Highly recommend. Great to get a basic idea of G-Code.

    Brian

    This course really painted a picture in a way that allowed my brain to absorb the information Marc presented. Having little to no experience in the machining world, he broken the basics down step by step and I now understand how the Gcode program works. I feel more confident looking at an arc and translating the numbers into the Gcode format. Thank you Marc, I look forward to creating my first project.

    Geoffrey

    This course gives a quick insight into G code programming from a complete beginners point of view, the step by step tutorials are well explained & simple to follow.

    Robert

    A great introduction to CNC machining using G code

    Paul

    I'm moving into a new job role which requires CNC maintenance and repairs and understanding the programming side really helps solidify my small knowledge about how CNC works. Really good course for beginners like me and enjoyed practicing on the G code simulator and access to the machinist handbook is also fantastic! Highly recommended.

    Stevie

    Marc’s courses at G-Code Tutor are an absolute game-changer for anyone like myself who is entering the exciting world of industrial CNC operations. Whereas typical textbook instruction can be confusing and frustrating, Marc’s clear, easy-to-follow, and step-by-step courses will take any motivated student as far as they wish in firmly grasping and utilizing machine code programing in their workplace. The courses are enjoyable and keep your interest and motivation all the way through. I’m so thankful for these courses and I recommend them highly to anyone.

    Andrew

    A great course. I learned a lot. I will be using the information and will be signing up for the advanced classes. Thanks Marc!
