Derek,

"I" is the distance from the CURRENT position to the center of the
arc/circle ALONG THE X AXIS.

"J" is the distance from the CURRENT position to the center of the
arc/circle ALONG THE Y AXIS.

"K" is the distance from the CURRENT position to the center of the
arc/circle ALONG THE K AXIS.

The distance shown for the IJK can be either absolute or relative. In
other words, from current position OR program zero.

The distances are usually SIGNED, i.e. + or - from current position.

You do not have any K's because your code must be in the XY (G17)
plane only. K is used for arc/circles in the XZ (G18) and YZ (G19)
planes.

Hope this is clear for you.
