The G53 command is used to disable the offset of the origin of the coordinate system.

When executing the G53 command, the offset of the working coordinates is temporarily canceled and the machine coordinate system is used.

The offset values are stored in tables.

This G53 command can be useful, for example, for cases of movement to the place where the cutting tool is being replaced.

Also the G53 command is a safe way to return to the initial position of the machine.

The G53 command is a non modal, acting only in the block in which it is assigned.
