    Stupid problem - jogging incremental Mach 3 mill

    I can't figure out how to make set incremental jog movements.

    It's not covered in any tutorial I've seen, and unlike Mach3 turn, I have apparently NO incremental jog controls, so at present I just jog close with my keyboard, and then have to use G-code lines to step incremental.

    If someone could help that would be great. It doesn't makes sense - it has to be in there somewhere.

    Setting tools at present would be a complete WHORE.

    After you hit the tab key to bring up the jog window, there are buttons on the window for switching between continuous and incremental jog. Just above those buttons there is a button for setting the jog increment. You can customize the increments in the main config window.

    There are handy shortcut keys for the above actions. With the jog window open: cntrl + J = change from continuous to incremental; alt + J = change jog increment.

    I wasn't aware of the Tab key.

    Thanks. Hopefully that will solve the issue.
