Clamp the workpiece

Mount the workpiece with a fixture on the machine table. If you have

a touch probe on your machine, then you do not need to clamp the

workpiece parallel to the axes.
If you do not have a touch probe available, you have to align the

workpiece so that it is fixed with its edges parallel to the machine

axes.
