G43 appears to only apply the Z-offset from the tool table. For example,
running the program below displays the Z values as expected but the X values
are identical. Would having LinuxCNC also apply the X offset cause problems?
Assuming we are talking about mills, here,
G43 is a tool LENGTH offset, and just compensates for tool
length. That is a basic feature of the G-code definition.
G41 and G42 compensate for tool radius. They do a much more
complicated compensation to make the edge of the tool cut
the programmed path. See :
http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/gcode/tool-compensation.html
For info on how that works.
If you are talking about lathes, I know next to nothing.
