Axis Motion

in the G29 block. If a G28 was just executed, this has the effect of
returning the axis from machine home. For example, executing the block:

G29 X7.0 Z1.5;

in absolute mode would move the axes to (7.0, 1.5) after passing through
the intermediate point stored in control memory. In incremental mode, this
block would move the axes to a position that is X7.0 and Z1.5 units away
from the home point.

The intermediate point is stored in control memory after a G28 return to
machine home or a G30 move to alternate home is executed. A G29 block
is usually executed after a G28 or G30 block, typically to return the
grinding wheel to the part.

Although this command moves the axes at rapid feedrate as if in G00
mode, it is not modal. If G01, G02, or G03 modes are active, they are
temporarily canceled for the return from home moves.

Only the axes specified in the G29 block are moved. For example:

N1 G28 X5.0 Z1.0;

(X and Z axes are moved to home after moving to X=5.0
Z=1.0)

N2 G29 X3.;

(X moves to X=5.0 then to X=3.0 -- -- -- Z does not move)
