Turning used to provide a platform to produce components accurately, the introduction of CNC turning meant engineers can machine in multiples.

CNC Milling - As well as CNC turning, engineers in the UK also specialise in CNC milling, this is the prismatic form of machining and is normally associated with square parts. CNC milling machines are often now termed as machining centres, these perform all types of CNC milling operations.

Used Lathes - Often engineers opt to buy used lathes rather than new ones, this can save a considerable amount of money and often means you can save the depreciation when buying a new lathe. One drawback with used lathes is the warranty, it's unlikely you'll get one.

Used Milling Machines - It's the same with milling machines, buying used milling machines is often a better option if funds are tight.

Machining Centres - In the modern machine shop you will always find a machining centre, these are milling machines with a full suite of guarding, a machining centre is commonly known to produce milled components in fast cycle times, often better as a solution than a standard milling machine. Machining centres can be 3,4,5,6,7,8 or 9 axis. See machining centres for sale here...

Mills for Sale - If a machining centre is unnecessary, then a milling machine will perform the same results, just in more time.
