Command G40 - cancels cutter compensation for G41 or G42.

Correction cancellation, specified by the G40 command, can be carried out in conjunction with the rectilinear movement of the tool in the selected material plane.

Then the exit from the equidistant movement occurs when moving to the end point of the frame, in which the cutter compensation is canceled and the tool moves straight.

If you move on commands G02 or G03, i.e. circular interpolation, cancellation of cutter compensation cannot be assigned.

The command G40 (G-code) is modal.

G40 is included in the modal group 7 (Units) (G40,G41,G42).
