Limitation
- Specifying a radius in the polar coordinate mode
In the polar coordinate mode, specify a radius for circular
interpolation or helical interpolation (G02, G03) with R.
- Axes that are not considered part of a polar coordinate command in the polar
coordinate mode
Axes specified for the following commands are not considered part of
the polar coordinate command:
• Dwell (G04)
• Programmable data input (G10)
• Local coordinate system setting (G52)
• Workpiece coordinate system setting (G92)
• Machine coordinate system setting (G53)
• Stored stroke check (G22)
• Coordinate system rotation (G68)
• Scaling (G51)
