What is Swiss Machining?
Swiss machining uses a sliding headstock and guide bushing, unlike standard lathes, to support material while the tool remains stationary.
What is CNC Turning and Milling？
In CNC turning and milling, the tool moves while the material is stationary. In CNC turning, the material spins while the tool moves.
