They both have; spindles, bedways, automatic feeds, work holding equipment, although these vary between machines, both can use digital readout, coolant supply, both have heads - where the gears and spindle are housed. I'm certain I've miss out loads but i would be here forever.
The difference between milling and lathe machining is that on a milling machine the cutter is static and rotates and the workpiece is moved around to enable the machining to it. On a lathe, the workpiece is static and rotates and the cutting tool is moved around to enable the machining to the workpiece.
The milling machine cuts key ways, grooves, spline, flattens surfaces, etc
The lathe cuts round workpieces to various dimensions and also cuts thread, tapers and grooves around the workpiece.
Although a lathe can bore and drill, it is actually associated with turning. A drilling machine is associated with drilling, a milling machine with milling, and a boring mill with boring.
Milling in a lathe can be two things:A cutter is gripped in the chuck and a workpiece the the tool post. The work piece is then milled by using the feed on the lathe. Although it has been done, it is an unconventional method and is not recommended.A 3-in-1 lathe with a milling attachment as part of the machine used for milling a work piece.
Vertical milling machine is for cutting large pieces. The lathe cutting tool motion is perpendicular to the ground. They are said to Karosl lathe.
A milling machine basically look like a drill press, but with the ability to move the work piece sideways. A lathe clamp and spin the work piece horizontally and use a stationary tool bit to cut and shape the work piece.
Some types of machine tools are:Center latheMilling machineShaperHorizontal boring millVertical boring millRadial arm drillSlotting machineCylindrical grinderGear grinder and Gear shaperVarious types of CNC: Lathe, machine center, milling machine, etc.

Lathe operation. Milling operation is done with its axis of rotation. The final product is always turning point in the round.

The ones that i use at college and work are a milling machine, a lathe, a drill, and a saw but i think the main ones (In mechanical engineering) are the Milling Machine and the Lathe.
Vertical milling machine is for cutting large pieces. The lathe cutting tool motion is perpendicular to the ground. They are said to Karosl lathe.
Basic difference between turning and milling is that , In turning the tool is fixed and the job rotates whereas in milling the job is fixed and the tool rotates
Edgar T. Westbury has written: 'Milling in the lathe' -- subject(s): Milling-machines 'Ignition equipment'
A computer numerically controlled lathe and a computer numerically controlled milling machine differ primarily in their core operations and the kinds of parts they can create. To make pieces like shafts and rings that are both cylindrical and symmetrical, a CNC lathe primarily rotates the workpiece while cutting tools remove material. However, computer numerical control (CNC) milling machines can create more complex forms and features like slots, holes, and curves by using revolving cutting tools to remove material from a fixed workpiece. While CNC lathes excel at generating very precise circular components, CNC milling machines offer greater freedom for producing three-dimensional parts.
plain turning
A blanchard lathe is a lathe for turning irregular forms after a given pattern, such as lasts, gunstocks, etc.
A milling machine basically look like a drill press, but with the ability to move the work piece sideways. A lathe clamp and spin the work piece horizontally and use a stationary tool bit to cut and shape the work piece.
There is no difference between a turning machine and a lathe. They are two names for the same kind of machine
