One of the main functions of the cnc interpolator is to

Answer 1

Answer:

Interpolation (G2,G3) in a CNC machine allows for a variety of part geometries you could not accomplish accurately with only G1 movement.

Circular interpolation allows you to bore holes and do complex part geometry that requires motion other than linear movements. G2 circular interpolation will move the cutter in a clockwise movement from your current position to the point defined in the block at the radius defined in the block. Ie

G00 X0. Y0.

G02 X.1 Y.1 R.05 F500.

This code will move the cutter from X0. , Y0. To X.1, Y0. at a .05 radius.

Conversely G03 does the exact same thing only counterclockwise instead.
