Reference system on milling machines
When machining a workpiece on a milling machine, the right-hand rule helps you
to remember the three axis directions: the middle finger points in the positive
direction of the tool axis from the workpiece toward the tool (the Z axis), the
thumb points in the positive X direction, and the index finger in the positive Y
direction.
