What is the Difference Between CNC Turning & Milling

As you know, in the fabrication of CNC machining parts, CNC turning and CNC milling stand out as two common machining techniques.

In this guide, you will gain a simpleunderstanding of the differences between CNC turning and CNC milling.

CNC turning and milling are both methods that utilize cutting tools to shape materials, including metal, plastic, and wood, into the desiredshape. The processing method of removing chips from the base material is also called "removal machining" and "subtractive machining".

CNC Turning

CNC Turning involves rotating materials, and cutting tools are chosen based on the shape of the metal parts. Commonly, turning parts are shaped into cylindrical, conical, spherical

CNC Milling

Milling is the process of processing complex-shaped parts by cutting materials by rotating the milling cutter at high speed driven by the spindle.

CNC milling parts types: plane contour parts, beveled parts, spatial curved contour parts, usually processed into square, curved surfaces, etc.

Conclusion

Whether it isCNCturning orCNCmilling, the commonly processed materials are metal materials such as copper, iron,steelaluminum, stainless steel, titanium, and some thermoplastic materials.
