The turning process is to make the material reach the desired shape by removing the material, and its machining accuracy is high and there is no mold restriction. But the production cost is high and the processing speed is slow.

Machine tool is based on the definition made by the International Standards Organization (ISO) and the American Machine Tool Fair (IMTS): "A device that is driven by power and cannot be carried by manpower. The combination of chemical or other methods to achieve the purpose of processing materials can be defined as a machine tool.” According to the different types of processing, the machine tool is divided into dozens of types, what are the differences among them?

Milling machines have better chip evacuation because of the nature of their configuration because gravity keeps the chips from falling. This helps improve the surface finish and prolongs the life of the tool.

Shaft parts are one typical part of machining. The shaft part is a rotating part whose length is greater than the diameter, and its surface is several outer cylindrical surfaces, conical surfaces, holes, and threads of the same axis.

If you own a manual or CNC lathe, or if you are thinking about buying your first lathe, you may think about what types of the lathe are more suitable for you.

The advantage of the gearbox is that it can accurately control the speed of the main shaft without excessively high main shaft speed, belt friction consumption, and slippage. Because the main shaft is placed horizontally, it is also called a horizontal lathe.
