Question By: The difference between CNC milling and CNC turning is Given below:
CNC milling and CNC turning are two distinct machining processes with differences in their operation and applications.
CNC milling involves rotating a cutting tool against a stationary workpiece to remove material and create precise shapes and features. This process is ideal for creating complex shapes, contours, and prototypes. It is commonly used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and electronics for manufacturing components like gears, housings, and brackets.
On the other hand, CNC turning revolves around rotating a workpiece while a stationary cutting tool removes material to achieve cylindrical shapes, such as shafts, pins, and bushings. This process is highly efficient for creating symmetrical parts with consistent diameters and lengths. Industries such as manufacturing, medicine, and oil and gas rely on CNC turning for producing components like bolts, screws, and hydraulic cylinders.
The main difference lies in the motion of the cutting tool and workpiece. In milling, the tool rotates and moves along multiple axes, enabling versatile machining capabilities. In turning, the workpiece rotates while the cutting tool moves linearly along one or more axes, primarily used for cylindrical parts.
