CNC turning has revolutionized the manufacturing industry with its precision and efficiency. However, mastering the various codes and commands can be daunting, especially when it comes to G41 and G42. These two G-codes play a crucial role in CNC turning, and understanding their functions is essential for improving productivity and reducing errors.

CNC turning is a popular method of machining that involves rotating a workpiece while a cutting tool removes material to create a precise shape. Cycle time refers to the total time it takes to complete a single cycle of a CNC turning process, from loading and unloading the workpiece to finishing.
