Today's focus is on manual programming with GCode for linear interpolation movements to get a better understanding of how a CNC machine works. I will show you useful details and we will cover on different additional aspects of GRBL based GCode programming. I recommend you watch my recent videos that explain basic GRBL and GCode details or how to set up the CNC hardware and software. Remember, this is just a demonstration of how I work with GCode on my machine, be very careful and check your machine's documentation to understand your machine's capabilities.

I present my personal CNC setup, modeling, and machining approach. This includes the setup and use of the different components, my modeling and machining process, and my selection of software and hardware tools.

In case you want to understand CNC programming and GCode in more detail, you can check the additional videos that cover the topic:
