Chapter 4 How to Machine Manually
Manual Machining refers to machine tool carrying out machining by manual
according to the parameters set by the users. There are three modes of machine tool
manual operation, i.e., constant micro mode, incremental mode and stepping
mode.
Operators can select the constant micro mode to process the program files. Click the
“Manual” button at the window of the main interface to switch then you can
implement the corresponding operation at this interface manually. There are six
manual buttons at the window, corresponding to the positive and negative directions
of X/Y/Z axes respectively. The manual window provides operators with an
interactive operating environment to operate the machine tool manually.

4.1 Constant Micro Mode
If the main interface under the mode of idle state, users can switch to manual constant
micro mode through the "Manual Mode" button to enter into constant micro mode.
When press the corresponding direction button, the machine began to loosen the
button, the machine stop working.
4.2 Incremental Stepping Mode
The same as the constant micro mode, the incremental stepping mode (use
incremental mode for short) is another mode of manual machine tool operation. The
difference is that the incremental stepping mode can precisely control the feeding
distance of the motion axis of the machine tool.
If the main interface under the mode of idle state, users can switch to manual stepping
