What is the difference between turning and milling?
1. Different characteristics
Turning means that lathe processing is a part of mechanical
processing. Lathe machining mainly uses turning tools to turn the
rotating workpiece. Lathes are mainly used to process shafts,
discs, sleeves and other workpieces with revolving surfaces, and
are the most widely used type of machine tool in machinery
manufacturing and repair factories.
CNC lathes can process complex rotary shapes. Milling is to fix the
blank, and use a high-speed rotating milling cutter to run on the
blank to cut out the required shapes and features. Traditional
milling is mostly used to mill simple contour features such as
contours and slots.
2. Different functions
Turning is a method of cutting a workpiece on a lathe using the
rotation of the workpiece relative to the tool. The cutting energy
of turning is mainly provided by the workpiece rather than the tool
The milling and boring machining center can perform three-axis or
multi-axis milling and boring processing for machining, molds,
inspection tools, tire tools, thin-walled complex surfaces,
artificial prostheses, blades, etc. When selecting CNC milling
processing content, the advantages and key roles of CNC milling
machines should be fully utilized.
