A mill and a lathe are both machine tools used in manufacturing, but they serve different purposes. A lathe rotates the workpiece against a stationary cutting tool, primarily used for shaping cylindrical parts. In contrast, a mill uses a rotating cutting tool to remove material from a stationary workpiece, allowing for more complex shapes and features. Essentially, lathes focus on turning, while mills focus on cutting and shaping.
Jaws for lathe and mill chucks are the gripping components that secure a workpiece in place during machining operations. They are typically made of hardened steel and can be adjustable or fixed, depending on the chuck type. In a lathe chuck, the jaws move inwards or outwards to accommodate different diameters, while mill chucks may use a similar mechanism or a different design to hold the workpiece securely. Proper selection and adjustment of jaws are crucial for achieving accuracy and precision in machining tasks.
A lathe is capable of boring but the boring process is linked or associated with to a vertical or horizontal boring mill.
For simple drilling, the vertical drill press is faster to use.
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.
One would use a lathe chuck as a type of clamp used to hold onto the rotating tool bit on a lathe, a lathe chuck is also known by a different name: a collet.

A lathe is a tool used in woodworking to shape pieces of wood into usable objects. Different types of tools can be used to shape the wood in a desired style.
<p>No, it's a machine tool, like a table saw or a lathe. A drill press is mostly used to bore holes. It has a large vertical spindle that holds bits that can be lowered onto a workpiece. Unlike a mill or a lathe, a drill press is rarely automated (which is what you might have meant by 'robot').<p>
