I'm not sure why the Z-speed is always set slower than the X/Y-speed. I can imagine that it has something to do with stress on the bit when plunging vs. lateral cutting, but I can't think why it would matter when moving at the jog speed. All of my motors (X1, X2, Y, and Z) are identical, so I don't think that has anything to do with it. Do you know why Z-speeds are set differently than X/Y speeds?
I'd sure love to understand this better.
