Turning

Turning is a machining process where a cutting tool removes material from a rotating workpiece to create a desired shape or surface. Typically done on lathes, it allows for precise cylindrical or conical parts. As the workpiece spins, the tool moves along its surface, gradually carving away material. Turning is used in manufacturing to produce components like shafts, bolts, and other cylindrical items with accurate dimensions and smooth finishes. It is an essential process in machining that combines rotational motion with controlled cutting to achieve specific design specifications efficiently.
