Turning's primary goal is to reduce the workpiece's diameter to the appropriate size. Turning operations come in two flavors: rough and finish.
A tool used in 5-axis machines can travel in five directions: X, Y, Z, as well as A and B, around which it rotates. An operator can approach a part from every angle in a single operation when using a 5-axis CNC machine, which eliminates the need to physically move the workpiece between operations.
A simple ballet move known as a pirouette involves the ballerina spinning 360 degrees on one foot. Pirouettes can be performed "en dehors," spinning away from the supporting leg, or "en dedans," turning in the other direction.

Morse taper has a 1:10 taper ratio, and its included angle is either 3° or 5/8 inch/foot. Most commonly, lathe machines' nose spindle, drill shank, arbor, etc. use Morse taper.
The workpiece rotates in opposition to a cutting tool when turned. The majority of the components are machined from round bar stock. When milling, the cutting tool rotates against a still workpiece. Components are created generally using square or rectangular bar material.
4-axis index When the machine is not cutting material, the fourth axis (A-axis) revolves during CNC machining. Once the proper rotation has been chosen, the machine resumes cutting once a brake is applied. In continuous 4-axis machining, the machine can rotate the A-axis and simultaneously cut material.
Straight Turning: The tool is fed parallel to the lathe axis while the workpiece is held in the chuck and rotated about the axis. The straight turning removes extra metal from the workpiece to create a cylindrical surface.
Describe mill-turn. The advantages of a mill and a lathe are combined in mill-turn methods. A mill-turn center is essentially a hybrid device that combines the rotation of the workpiece during turning and the rotation of the tool during milling. Users of mill-turn can quickly and easily produce more intricate items without switching machining centers.
