how to slow down z jog rate when manually zeroing - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

hi,

it seems like this was really easy a couple months ago when i last did this but...

i am trying to slow my z down so that i can manually lower my router bit to set a z-zero height. i've tried the feed override button/slider thing and it doesn't affect how fast my z is moving up/down at all. it seems to default to having a six in the box but not sure why... this problem is persistent wether or not i have a g-code file loaded or not.

help! i don't want to slam my bits into my workpiece while setting up!

thanks for any ideas:-)

Hit tab and change the slow jog %.

What I do, is jog close, then switch to incremental set to .002.
