CNC walking machines and CNC milling machines both play a powerful role in the field of precision machining. Walking machines and CNC milling machines have their own special structures and face different industry fields. So, what is the difference between CNC milling machines and CNC walking machines?

The main difference between milling machines and lathes lies in the relationship between the workpiece and the cutting tool. Taking CNC milling machines and CNC centering machines as examples:

In a CNC lathe, the workpiece being machined rotates around its axis, while the cutting tool does not, which is called "rotation" and is effective for creating cylindrical components. Common operations performed on a lathe include drilling, boring, threading, ID and OD slotting, and cutting. When seeking fast, repeatable, and symmetrical cylindrical parts, a lathe is the best choice.

The tool in a milling machine rotates around its axis while the workpiece does not, allowing the tool to approach the workpiece in many different directions, which requires more complex and intricate components. If you can program it, as long as you have the appropriate gap and choose the appropriate tool, you can program it on the milling machine.
