Lathes and milling machines are two essential machines used in the manufacturing industry. While both involve the use of a cutting tool to remove material from a workpiece in the form of swarf (chips), they aren't necessarily the same. Both lathes and milling machines have their own unique functions and purpose. So, what's the difference

The three-axis milling machine has a milling head can travel uninterrupted along axes X, Y and Z. 3-axis milling machines can do this accurately because they use laser reference points to determine both flatness and alignment.
view moreVertical milling machines may be provided with tilting heads, allowing the spindle to be adjusted at any angle from vertical to horizontal, to produce surfaces and shapes at odd angles on complex parts. The best known of these is the 'Bridgeport' head, where the head spindle and motor form a unit which can be angled in one, or sometimes two, planes.
view moreMilling is performed by construction equipment called milling machines or cold planers. These machines use a large rotating drum to remove and grind the road surface. The drum consists of scrolls of tool holders. The scrolls are positioned around the drum such that the ground pavement is moved toward the center and can be loaded onto the machine's conveyor belt.
