    how to slow down z jog rate when manually zeroing

    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.
