Feature Req: Unique Jog speed variables for each axis #3

It would be nice to be able to set jog speeds (esp maximum) separately for each axis. In particular I'm thinking of the case where you want the max jog speed on the Z to be quite a bit lower than the XY. For example 2000 mm/min, while your XY jog might be 8000/min. The idea being that you don't want to crash your Z accidentally by jogging at high speed since the physical travel is so short.

At present, I have my Z axis speed limited using the overall travel rate option, but I am realizing this may be contributing to my poor edge finishes when I am milling plywood at high speeds (8000+mm/min) as the optimal Z travel for that XY speed may not be achievable within my travel limit (not sure, just theorizing) - however I don't want to risk jogging the Z at 8000 mm/min.
