G04, Dwell (G04Fnn.n)

fnn.n: Length of time in seconds to dwell

The dwell pauses the program for a period of time.
The shortest dwell is .1 second.

The dwell is useful for brief pause at the bottom of a flat hole or a groove before pulling out, or to delay cutting until the coolant is flowing.

DO NOT use g04 for loading and unloading operations. This would be unsafe! Use M91 or M93 instead.
