Referencing andRepeatability"Referencing" is a dual process of
positioning te !orpiece relati#e to te!orolder$ and te !orolder relati#eto te cutting tool%
If a part is incorrectly placed in a!orolder$ proper location of te!orpiece is not acie#ed and te part!ill be &acined incorrectly%
If a cutter is i&properly positionedrelati#e to te '(ture$ te &acineddetail is also i&properly located%
