CNC turning centers are advanced computer numerically controlled machines. They can have 3, 4, or even 5 axes, along with a multitude of cutting capabilities, including milling, drilling, tapping, and ofcourse, turning. Often these machines have an enclosed setup to ensure any cut material, coolant, and components remain within the machine.

The CNC machine tool center (machine centre) is an advanced manufacturing machine tool that can perform a variety of machining operations with high precision, high quality, and high surface finish. A CNC machine tool center (CNC turning center) can perform drilling, milling, and lathe operations.

CNC Mill/Turn Machines are multi-tasking, multi-function CNC machines used for producing complex workpieces in one operation. These machines are capable of turning a workpiece and applying rotating tooling operations such as cross-drilling, tapping, slotting, and milling.
