The rotating nature of raw material is why turning has the limitation of only producing cylindrical parts. It is also the reason CNC turning is often the most efficient and affordable way of producing certain cylindrical and tubular parts. CNC turning is known for its high-precision surface finishes and rapid production capabilities.
CNC turning is not only a surface machining process either as it includes processes like drilling, facing, boring, cutting, threading, and knurling as well. This gives CNC turning advantage of performing multiple operations without removing the workpiece which also improves accuracy.
