3.2 “G1” WORK LINEAR INTERPOLATION 
The “G1” function controls a linear work movement (at a programmed speed). This function is used to 
carry out machining on the workpiece. 
With this function it is the programmer who decides the speed (feed “F”) at which the tool is to reach the 
programmed point. The same block must also contain one or two destination co-ordinates (X and Z) and 
the feed (F) if this has not been inserted beforehand. 
Programming “G1 X… Z... F…” the tool starts from its current position and reaches that programmed in a 
linear movement at the work speed. 
Function “G1” and work feed “F” are modal functions.
