The Difference Between A Lathe And A Metal CNC Milling Machine

Lathes and milling machines are two essential machines used in manufacturing. Both involve the use of cutting tools to remove material from the workpiece in the form of fragments, but they are not necessarily the same. Lathes and milling machines have their own unique functions and purposes.

CNC Production

When using a lathe, the workpiece rotates on a fixed cutting tool. For milling machines, the stationary workpiece is exposed to the rotating cutting tool. In addition, the cutting tools used in milling machines usually have multiple blades or tips, which can be used to grind the material on the workpiece. It is mainly used to process inner and outer cylindrical surfaces of shaft parts or disc parts, inner and outer conical surfaces with any cone angle, complex rotating inner and outer surfaces, cylindrical and conical threads, and can be slotted, drilled, reamed, reamed and bored Wait cnc machining part

The milling process can be divided into end machining or peripheral machining. The face milling feature is a cutting action around the outside of the cutting tool, while the peripheral milling feature is a cutting action that spans the circumference of the cutting tool. Lathes involve rotating the workpiece relative to a single-edged cutting tool, while milling machines involve rotating a multi-edged or sharp cutting tool relative to a stationary workpiece.
