So my EMCO mill suddenly started working after months of stress and although I have become fairly familiar with operating it I quickly realized that I know diddly squat about the important CNC milling stuff like G-Code or how to work a CAD/CAM software to actually be efficient at milling. So I googled "G-Code cheat sheet", and to my amazement not a single high-resolution, colorful, to-the-point, well explained PDF file popped out. I was flabbergasted.
But, there were, after some digging plenty of black-text-on-gray-backround websites with comprehensive lists of G-Code that would be very useful. If only they were in printable format, to hang on the wall behind my machine...
So I decided to make one!

Please note that I am an absolute beginner, and I have made this sheet to learn this myself. I will not be held responsible if the information is wrong. Please do not hesitate to let me know if you find mistakes or if you have suggestions. Thanks!
Here are some sources I used:
- LinuxCNC G-Code reference
- CNC Cook Book G-Code Reference (Has reference for both Mill and Lathe)
- Daewoo PUMA 450 Program Manual (Mainly for lathe, but still useful)
