Assuming J & K are incremental is it correct to assume K should = 0.
I ask this because using K0 or K-3 the prog appears to still
function) G01 G17 Z10 M09

In both cases a 6mm dia ball nose cutter is producing a concave
arced slot.

G code states I J & K can be either absolute or incremental. Is it
correct for me to assume that if G90 is called at line 1 then all
post lines are absolute or are they.

In short I am trying to understand where I J & K pick up being
incremental or absolute.

This is control dependent.
With few exceptions, your control either wants to see the absolute
position
of the arc center or the incrimental distance to that point.
You can also just use the R command instead of I,J,K on many
controls.

What have you got?

a Prototrak fitted to an XYZ SM3500, I will check the manual.

'Controls Type: Generic SWI ProtoTRAK MX2 (MX2,MX2E,M2,A.G.E.2)
ARCT=1 ' ARCT=0 (RADIUS(R) OUTPUT),ARCT=1 (ABS(IJK) CENTERS),ARCT=2
(INC(IJK) CENTERS)
DRILLT=1 ' DRILLT=0 (CANNED DRILLING CYCLES),DRILLT=1 (MANUAL DRILLING
OUTPUT)
