A CNC Lathe (AKA a "Turning Center" or TC) is a type of computer-controlled machine tool that is used for cutting and shaping metal and other materials.
It typically uses a stationary cutting tool moved by a variety of motors to remove material from a rotating workpiece, to achieve the desired shape.
CNC Lathes can be used for a wide range of applications, from simple, one-off parts to high-volume production.
CNC Lathes are very common in most manufacturing industries, and there are many manufacturers, including:
