I always reference the fixed jaw. As good as the vices are, the moving jaw
can twist slightly if the work you are clamping is not square.
As far as which corner of the jaw you reference to, do what you are most
comfortable with, the machine will obey the command set you send it
On some parts I
Not just to be contrary I use the upper left corner of the vise.
However, I do admit the upper right is more logical. For Z my travel so

Gentlemen,
I always set up my machines with the home position at the -
X positive limit (or close)
Y positive limit (or close)
Z positive limit (or close).
This gives me all negative values in the work piece offset registers.
Z up is the most important to me. If I tell it to go home

On a piece of paper, one might draw a graph, with X0Y0 being at the bottom
left.
And it looks like, and this is my query, most CNC machines use X0Y0 at the
