G12 code ignored by shark hd4

Merry Christmas all!
I apologize if this is a question that’s already been asked. I searched the forum and couldn’t find any similar topics, so here goes.
My father has a Shark HD4 machine that he uses to carve toy cars out of pieces of wood. All the g codes in the file seem to work just fine except for the following line: G12 I0.0300 F 25.0. This line is supposed to enlarge an existing hole that was successfully drilled/routed by a previous line in the .tap file. I have edited this line several times, adding different codes, modifying existing codes and nothing seems to have any effect. I also downloaded one of the post processors from NWA and wasn’t sure if G12 & G13 are valid codes for the Shark. What we’re trying to do is slightly enlarge an existing 1/4” hole to allow a 1/4” wooden dowel to turn freely in the finished toy car. Dad is not much into computers and I’m a newbie at Sharks, CNC and g code!
Thanks,
Roger
