The G02 and G03 words instruct the machine to move in circular motion (clockwise or counterclockwise). The motion can be an arc or a complete circle.

G02 = Circular motion clockwise.

G03 = Circular motion counterclockwise.

 I = Incremental distance from the start point to the center of the arc.

J = Incremental distance from the end point to the center of the arc.
