Jogging

Settings → Jogging sets the three jog speeds you choose between on the Jog card, and how continuous jogging starts.

Settings → Jogging: the Rapid, Normal and Precise presets and Continuous Jog

The presets

PresetXY Step DistanceZ Step DistanceFeed Rate
Rapid10 mm (0.01–1000)5 mm (0.01–500)5000 mm/min (1–20000)
Normal1 mm (0.01–500)0.5 mm (0.01–200)1000 mm/min (1–20000)
Precise0.1 mm (0.001–50)0.05 mm (0.001–50)200 mm/min (1–5000)

The values in brackets are what each field accepts; a value outside it is refused with its range.

  • Feed Rate is how fast a jog moves when that preset is chosen on the Jog card. It is also the speed of the Location card's go-to moves.
  • XY Step Distance is how far one press of a diagonal moves in Step mode. The four straight directions and Z+ / Z− move the distance chosen in the card's step column.
  • XY Step Distance also sets the step column's starting value the first time the card appears.

Continuous Jog

Start Delay (ms) — how long you hold a jog button in Continuous mode before the machine starts moving: 250 ms by default, 50 to 2000. A tap shorter than this moves nothing, so a brush of the finger does not jog.
