CNC Turning is a manufacturing process in which bars of material are held in a chuck and rotated while a tool is fed to the piece to remove material to create the desired shape.

A turret with tooling attached is programmed to move to the bar of raw material and remove material to create the programmed result.

If the centre has both tuning and milling capabilities (live tooling), the rotation can be stopped to allow for milling out of other shapes.
