G01: Feed moves

- [Instructor] The G1 command is what we use for cutting material in a straight line, or a linear interpolation. Now when you want to go from point A to point B like this point here, over to this point over here, we want to make sure we're going in one straight line. We want to call that G1 command, with the X and Y location of the point we want to end up at. Now, we can also assign a feed rate, in fact, we have to assign a feed rate for this move. Because more than likely, when you're using a G1 command, you're going to be actually machining some material, so we want to make sure we're controlling that tool, and feeding it at the appropriate rate for cutting that material. So again, G1 is for cutting through material, or a feed move, a linear interpolation from point A to point B. Let's go over and take a look at some of the code. So my very first example here, is pretty much exactly the same code we looked at for the G0 command. But now I'm switching over from a G0 to a G1 command…
