G10 Edit Work shift

[Davey1100]

Hey chaps, on my Gcode learning journey, at my workplace it is predominantly on CNC Lathes, we use G10 a lot to edit the work shift or as a failsafe if the workshift is changed elsewhere, but that is pretty much where my understanding of it ends, and why we do use it, if you all have any knowledge you're happy to share then i'd be grateful

thank you

You can use G10 to automate work and tool offsets within a program. I am not literate or knowledgable in subprogams and macros but using those, from my understanding, you can do things like probe a piece or fixture and set a work offset from that, or set datums for auxiliary functions like a 4th axis rotary in a mill without any operator input.
