The G12 command allows you to use circular clockwise interpolation with numerical control (CNC) systems using the current coordinates of the machine as the center of the circle.

Consider an example of using the G12 command below:

N010 G0 X5 Y7; Accelerated Movement
N020 G12 I2.0; Circular Interpolation

Also, using the G12 (G-code) command allows milling of the circular pocket, with the word P giving the initial radius of the pocket, and the word Q - the increment step when milling.
