It's already there. I used it a few weeks ago when making pull studs.
See the docs on G42. You need the tool approach angle to be correct, too.

I have three books by Peter Smid. One is "CNC Programming Handbook",
another is "FANUC Custom Macros", and the third has been borrowed by
a student... Looking at the lathe offset section of the FANUC book, he says
that geometry offsets have 1 added, while wear offsets do not have
anything add
this sounds exactly like a fanuc scheme

Gene,
I wanted to be sure that you picked up on the fact that the setscrew
is inserted ALONG the thread pitch line PARALLEL to the axis of the
shaft but offset from the shaft axis by the radius of the shaft. So

Please note that I tapped the hole .75 deep and inserted a .625 long

out. The second method with the square key was not meant to be

I have a machine with a similar setup, treadmill motor, screwed on

AFAIK superglue does not like vibrations, so Loctite would be better.

I second the vote for red loctite. One big advantage of loctite over
super-glue is that you have enough time to screw the flywheel on
before it sets up.

loctite is really nice stuff. There's a specific kind for joining shafts
to wheels.
epoxy might be good too.

In many ways it would seem more logical to feed it STL rather than
G-code, except that that doesn't let you control things like fill
