What is numerical control lathe?
A Numerical Control (NC) lathe, more commonly known today as a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) lathe, is a precision machining tool that automates the process of shaping metal, wood, or other materials by following programmed instructions. Unlike conventional manual lathes, where an operator controls the cutting tools by hand, a CNC lathe relies on computerized commands to execute complex turning operations with high accuracy and repeatability.
