The following describes the top 5 automatic turning centers on the market today
1. CNC Lath
This is a very popular choice among professionals and hobbyists alike. It is capable of producing high-precision parts with a variety of materials such as aluminum, steel, stainless steel, brass and plastic. The machine works by moving a Chuck (a rotating tool that holds your workpiece) around a bed that holds your material. The machine has a couple of different speeds which you can use to cut faster or slower depending on what type of material you are using. If you want to make something really intricate then you will need multiple passes at different speeds until you have reached the desired level of precision. You can also use this machine to cut holes in metals such as copper tubing or steel beams
2. CNC Route
This machine is similar in many ways to the above mentioned lathe except it has more versatility and can be used for more complex operations like cutting curves into wood or building up shapes out of metal sheets or plastic parts. It has several different speeds which allow you to control how fast or slow it cuts through wood, plastics
