shaping-manufacturing-processes > Turn-Milling

This category encompasses machining solutions where Turning AND Milling are performed on a single machine. Material is removed both by rotating the workpiece in a chuck as with turning, and by a rotating cutting tool in a milling spindle.

This process enables high levels of production and design flexibility, with both turning and milling operations being performed within a single setup.

Not only can reduced setup time be a benefit, but in many cases increased accuracy through the elimination of error introduced during setup.
