If it's a hybrid, you may need to do some calibrating after manual operation, like our mill, it may get thrown off a bit by being manually operated. Just make sure to check the manuals and specs and reccomended uses and modifications for that mill type.

How could the use of a jog wheel throw off the calibration of the machine?
