CNC turning and milling is a type of machining where a material is cut with a high speed rotating cutter. The main purpose of this process is to create parts from bar stock, castings, or plates for further fabrication
The main difference between CNC turning and milling is that CNC milling machines are used to build complex shapes with multiple surfaces and corners. On the other hand, CNC turning machines are designed for cutting flat surfaces only
A typical machine can produce parts at speeds up to 20 times faster than conventional manual methods. It can be combined with other machines such as lathes or milling machines to create more complex parts that may require specialized tooling or fixtures.
