* Creep Speed specifies the speed of the machine after it begins to cut into the working material. It is advisable to set it to be lower than the actual working speed for a small portion of time at the start of the cut. This time is specified in seconds. | * Creep Speed specifies the speed of the machine after it begins to cut into the working material.
