Common Mistakes

Using Y or Z instead of X for horizontal movement.

Confusing feed rate (F) with axis movement.

The X axis controls horizontal movement left and right. To move to position 50 on X, use 'X50'.

Common Mistakes

Using X or Y instead of Z for vertical movement.

Confusing feed rate (F) with axis movement.

The Z axis controls vertical movement. To move up to position 10, use 'Z10'.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Putting the wrong number for Y coordinate.

Mixing feed rate (F) with axis values.

The Y axis value should be 30 to move to Y=30. The blank is for the Y coordinate.

Common Mistakes

Using Y instead of X or Z.

Confusing feed rate (F) with axis letters.

X15 moves the tool to X=15, and Z7 moves it to Z=7 vertically.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up axis letters and coordinates.

Using feed rate (F) instead of axis letters.

X25 moves horizontally to 25, Y40 moves sideways to 40, and Z10 moves vertically to 10.
