Set millimeters with G21 Start spindle clockwise with M3 setting the speed. Set the start position with G92 specifying the cordinates, move to start position with G0 rapid or G1 for cutting speed.

To draw a circle we need to position the cutting bit on the circumference of the circle, we then set the I and J positions which are the distance from the center of the circle.

I is the distance from arc start-point to arc-center-point in the X-axis. J is the distance from arc start-point to arc-center-point in the Y-axis

Job setup

Initially setup job in millimeters, start the spindle no speed because wee manually set the speed. Set the current position then move to the first cutting position.
