Turning is a precision machining process used to shape cylindrical parts by removing material from a rotating workpiece. This process is performed on a machine tool called a lathe. During turning, a cutting tool is fed into the rotating workpiece, which is held securely on the lathe. The material is progressively removed to achieve the desired shape, dimensions, and surface finish. Turning is widely used for producing parts with rotational symmetry and is crucial in many manufacturing applications.
