CNC turning is best suited for parts with diameters. With secondary CNC milling operations, the final part can have a variety of shapes or features. 

Parts with any diameter are potentially suitable for Mingda’s turn/mill machine, including knobs, pulleys, bellows, flanges, shafts, and bushings.

Turn/mill centers are extremely efficient for small to large-sized, high volume contract manufacturing. Features such as a bar feeder, part catcher, and chip conveyor all maximize run time.

CNC turning machines, or lathes, spin the material so that when a cutting tool is applied, it produces a part with rotational symmetry. Modern CNC turning centers are considered to be turn/mill machines, as they can perform secondary operations similar to those of a CNC milling machine. Turn/mill centers also contain tool changers, but in general, these milling operations have less machining power than a standalone milling machine.
