CNC Lathe uses and movements

Lathes are the most widely used type of machine tools in manufacturing. A type of machine tool that uses the spindle to drive the rotation of the workpiece as the main motion, and the tool holder to drive the tool movement as the feed motion to complete the relative motion between the workpiece and the tool.
It is mainly used to process various rotating surfaces, such as internal and external cylindrical surfaces, conical surfaces, formed rotating surfaces and end faces of rotating bodies, etc. Some lathes can also process threads.
The tools used on lathes are mainly turning tools. Some lathes can also use various hole processing tools, such as drills, boring tools, reamers, taps, dies, etc.
