Learning G-Code

[Rance]

Although I don't have a machine to use yet, I wanted to get up to speed on g-code. I'm thinking that it might be fun & useful to write some code and run it to see a picture of what it will do. Can Turbo CNC or Mach I do this or is there an online website that teaches basic g-code? Thanks.

Mach3 can be installed in simulation mode, and you'll see the toolpath move as though it were cutting. When you install Mach3, at the end of the install, you'll see a box checked that says install driver. Just uncheck that box during the install and you'll be in simulation mode.
