M-codes, also known as machine codes or miscellaneous functions, are auxiliary commands in CNC (Computer Numerical Control) programming that control machine tool functions beyond axis movements. They manage operations like starting and stopping the spindle, coolant control, tool changes, and program stops. Common examples include M03 (spindle start clockwise), M05 (spindle stop), M08 (coolant on), and M30 (program end and reset). They are crucial for automating machining processes.
