What are the main differences between CNC Lathe and Milling machine?

Solution

cnc lathe milling machine Lathes spin the material which has to be operated milling machine uses a spinning tool for various cutting operations. Lathes cuts cylindrical parts using outside and inside diameter cutting tools of varying sizes and shapes.The tool is secured on the tool post or in the tail stock. A milling machine spins the tool to cut material that is held stationary in a fixture or a vise. Milling machines use cylindrical cutting tools, such as end mills and drills, to remove material to make a finished part. The main tool used on a lathe is an insert cutter The main tool used on a milling machine is an end mill lathe can drill only on center milling machine can drill off-center holes too. the setup of lathe needs less precision, as chuck centers the material while installing the chuck jaws in milling machine we should be more precise by measuring vise or fixture to make sure it is straight or not
