General Mach Discussion / Re: Jogging in 3 axis problems

I haven't had time to follow up on this.
It appears that the angle the z travels at in relation to the horizontal plane determines if the head moves at jog speed or move speed.
In other words as long as the z is traveling at a very low angle let's say less than 10 degrees, then the head will move at full jog speed. If the angle is greater then the head will move at cutting speed. This hasn't caused any accidents yet, but a few surprises when you're expecting the tool to "move" to the next cutting location and it rapids there.
There must be a setting to adjust this angle somewhere. Thanks
