What is the 'CG' line do in my g-code

Post by MS1559585670 »

I am doing some pretty standard pocketing using RhinoCAM running on Rhinov8.
And my CNC is slowing way down in spots as it processes these 'CG' commands.

I am not sure what they are for and how to control the speed/feed of those lines. But my tool is rubbing/burning against the plywood as it slowly processed these commands. Is there a way to not have them in the code? Not even sure what they are doing.

Here is the top of my g-code up through the first of thousands of the 'CG' commands.

Just a quick follow-up - I now know that CG is a circle command. But what I do not understand is why my ShopBot Desktop is running them with such slow feed-rates. I specified 60 in/min for all speeds in the RhinoCAM Feeds and Speeds as just a test (Engage, Cut, etc). But still the CG commands go at about 1/4 the feed-rate. I see the MS command placed before the CG but not sure why RhinoCAM is specifying that - and where can I change that to not slow down so much in the RhinoCAM plugin.
