In CNC machining G code and M code are used for control machining that language known as a numeric control programming language. There is some difference between the G code and M code. We can see a list of G code and M code below.
What is the G code?
What is the G code?
G code is a type of function used in numeric control programming
language for CNC machine.
G code contains the information to position a tool to do the actual
work.
G code is a way for you to tell the machine to move to various points at the desired speed, control the spindle speed, turn on and off various coolants, and all sorts of other things.

What is the M code?
M code is an auxiliary program command.
M code contains the information to coolant OFF/ON like operating the
various machining parts like door, coolant, spindle etc.
