You may know that a CNC router is a lathe, but did you know it has its roots in 1993? That's when Mazak introduced the first "CNC router" featuring dual spindle and tool changer. While not as advanced as today's CNC routers, the original shoulder-oriented CNC routers were capable of turning a wide variety of materials and fastens with ease
The popularity of these machines grew quickly due to their versatility, accuracy and productivity. Today, they are used in industries like aerospace, automotive and medical manufacturing. The fact that they can be used for both milling and turning makes them an attractive option for many businesses looking for more than one solution.
