In the polar coordinate mode movement end points are specified as a radius and angle. Origin is determined by the absolute/incremental position mode setting.

The current plane setting determines which word is radius and which is angle.

• G17 – XY Plane – X is radius, Y is angle
• G18 – ZX Plane – Z is radius, X is angle
• G19 – YZ Plane – Y is radius, Z is angle
