What to know about CNC turning

The CNC turning tables have two basic axes. These axes are the Z-axis which allows the cutter to move along the workpiece’s length and the X-axis which allows the cutter to move in diameter. Some advanced CNC turning tables also have a C axis which allows trimming operations on the part. The C axis can be in positions of different degrees to the workpiece.
