CNC turning is a machining process where bars of material are held in a chuck and rotated while a tool is fed to the piece to remove material to create cylindrical parts. The advantage is the ability to deliver smooth, precise finishes, which reduces the need for subsequent processing. And it can produce various types of axes, bushings, cylinders, rings, washers, or screws. The tolerance can be down to +/- 0.02 mm.
CNC turning milling compound is a machining process that combines the capabilities of a CNC lathe and milling machine to create more complex parts in a single setup. This process is typically used on smaller pieces, such as in the medical and aerospace industries. One of the benefits is reducing the production time and improving the processing accuracy. Another advantage is to shorten the manufacturing process and save cost. The tolerance can be down to +/- 0.005 mm.

CNC turning is ideal for producing parts with rotational symmetry, such as shafts, bushings, pulleys, flanges, and other cylindrical components. It can also create complex features like grooves, threads, and tapers on the external or internal surfaces of a workpiece.
The main difference between CNC turning and manual turning is automation. CNC turning uses computer-controlled machines to perform operations with high precision and repeatability, while manual turning requires a machinist to operate the lathe manually. CNC turning is generally faster, more accurate, and better suited for high-volume production.
CNC turning machines are highly accurate, with tolerances typically ranging from ±0.01 mm to ±0.05 mm, depending on the machine and the complexity of the part. This precision makes CNC turning suitable for applications requiring tight tolerances and high-quality finishes.
The two main types of CNC lathes used in CNC turning are 2-axis lathes and multi-axis lathes. 2-axis lathes control the movement of the cutting tool along the X and Z axes, while multi-axis lathes (such as 3-axis or 4-axis lathes) allow for additional movements, such as rotating the tool or the workpiece, enabling the machining of more complex parts.
