N20 G00 Z0
N30 G32 Z-10 F1.5

• In the above program the first line sets the machine units to millimetres.
• The second line command moved the Z axis to work 0.00 millimetres.
• The third line starts the threading cycle to thread to Z -10 millimetres location while threading at 1.5 millimetre pitch.

INFORMATION: Units are defined as either inches or mm depending on your machines setup or G20 or G21 command in use.
