Which command would you typically use to decrease cutting speed during operation?

The command typically used to decrease cutting speed during operation is associated with linear interpolation, which is G01. This command allows the machine to move the cutting tool in a straight line at a set feed rate, which is the speed at which the tool engages with the material. By adjusting the feed rate, operators can effectively control the cutting speed and decrease it as needed for specific operations, ensuring that the tool operates within optimal parameters to achieve the desired machining results.

In contrast, G00 is the rapid positioning command, which is not used for cutting but for moving the tool quickly to a designated position. G02 is used for circular interpolation in a clockwise direction and also does not pertain to changing cutting speeds. G04 is a dwell command to pause or hold the spindle for a specific amount of time, which again does not influence the cutting speed directly.
