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.

CNC TURNING M/C-- IN CNC TURNING MACHINE JOB WILL NOT MOVE ( CAN BE ROTATE ), JOB WILL BE ROTATE AND WE CAN MACHINING ONLY IN CIRCULAR PROFILE, WE CAN NOT MACHINING IN RECTANGULAR TYPE PROFILE etc. .IN CNC TURNING , MACHINING WILL ONLY IN 2 AXIS ( X and Z ).

CNC MILLING M/C-- IN CNC MILLING MACHINE JOB WILL MOVE ON THE BAD , JOB CAN BE IN ANY SHAPE AND WE CAN MACHINING OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROFILE LIKE RECTANGULAR PROFILE etc., WE CAN MACHINING IN AT LEAST 3 AXIS ( X, Y and z ).

vertical drill machine is only specified for drilling only whereas various job can be done by using Lathe machine. in lathe machine the job rotates, on the contrary in drilling machine the spindle rotates. Relatively high speed can be given in drilling machine than lathe machine.

What is distance between centers in lathe machine?

All lathes could be considered "centre lathes." You turn "between centers." There's also a tool called a "machining center," but those are for computerized milling, normally of metal.


How milling differs from lathe turning?

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.
