F.A.Q

CNC turning services use computer numerical control to turn cylindrical workpieces on a lathe. A cutting tool moves along the X and Z axes. At the same time, the workpiece rotates about its longitudinal axis, producing a part with accurate dimensions and a smooth surface finish.

A CNC Turner is a computer numerically controlled lathe used for precise turning of cylindrical parts. Programs inputted into the machine control all movements, allowing very accurate and complex prescriptions to be followed. Automated Tool Change systems ensure different cutting tools are used as needed without giving rise to breaks in productivity or precision.

The main difference between machining and turning is that machining is removing material from a workpiece using a cutting tool while turning is the process of rotating a workpiece about an axis perpendicular to its length.

Machining can be done with various cutting tools, including drills, milling cutters, and lathe tools. Turning can only be done with lathe tools.
