Manual Feed
Moving the tool manually is called "manual feed," and you can accomplish this using the feed buttons
in VPanel.
Note: Manual feed cannot be performed while a cutting operation is in progress.
Selecting one of these enables move-
ment by the specified number of steps
when a feed button is clicked.
1 step = 0.01 mm

from what the arrow indicates.
