Re iterating this, MANY times, results in the machines that we and industry use today. Obviously industrial machine are heavier, more rigid and more consistently accurate than our hobby machines. They are vastly more expensive! That is not to say that hobby machines cannot produce accurate work. It may result in more scrap before the operator ...

The lathe is considered to be a bit less precise than the CNC mill but is the go-to machine for quick, repeatable, symmetric components. The CNC lathe is best at forming cylindrical, conical, or flat surface shapes. The CNC mill, on the other hand, holds the metal stock in a vice, and the cutting tools spin on their axis to create precise cuts ...

Continue this thread. level 1. [deleted] 2 points · 4 years ago. Yes, and it sucks. Pro tip: turn them with the lathe in reverse, and the tool upside down. So long as you can keep the inner and outer faces as perfectly perpendicular as possible with the axis of rotation, the runout will be …

The vertical milling machine is capable of holding larger parts than the lathe because the part is held and only the tool turns. It also has a much longer table throw ("X" axis). A deluxe version is available which offers an additional 2″ of "Y" axis travel compared to the standard mill.
