Turning is used to process rotary parts. The parts are clamped on the spindle of the machine tool through the three-grip chuck and rotated at high speed, and then the turning tool is used to move the tool according to the generatrix of the rotary body to cut out the shape of the product. The lathe can also process inner holes, threads, bites, etc., and the latter two are low-speed processing. CNC lathes can process complex rotary shapes.
Milling is to fix the blank, and use a high-speed rotating milling cutter to move on the blank to cut out the required shape and features. Traditional milling is mostly used for simple shapes/features such as milling contours and slots. CNC milling machines can also process complex shapes and features.
The milling and boring machining center can perform three-axis or multi-axis milling and boring processing, which is used for processing, molds, inspection tools, molds, thin-walled complex surfaces, artificial prostheses, blades, etc.
The difference between turning and milling: both are common methods of metal cold working. The difference between turning and milling is that in milling, the tool rotates at high speed under the drive of the spindle, while the workpiece to be processed is relatively stationary.
"Turning" is to change the shape and size of the blank by using the rotary motion of the workpiece and the linear or curved motion of the tool on the lathe, and process it to meet the requirements of the drawing. Turning is the most basic and common cutting processing method, which occupies a very important position in production. Turning is suitable for processing rotary surfaces. Most workpieces with rotary surfaces can be processed by turning methods, such as inner and outer cylindrical surfaces, inner and outer conical surfaces, end faces, grooves, threads, and rotary forming surfaces. The tools used are mainly turning tools. The "milling process" is to fix the blank, and use a high-speed rotating milling cutter to move on the blank to cut out the required shape and features.

First of all, understand the difference between a lathe and a milling machine. To put it simply: a lathe is for round things, a milling machine is for flat surfaces, and a boring machine is for holes. Lathe processing is that the workpiece rotates, and the tool does not rotate; milling machine processing is that the tool rotates, and the workpiece does not rotate. A lathe is a machine tool that mainly uses a turning tool to turn a rotating workpiece. Drills, reamers, reamers, taps, dies and knurling tools can also be used for corresponding processing on the lathe. Lathes are mainly used to process shafts, disks, sleeves and other workpieces with rotating surfaces, and are the most widely used machine tools in machinery manufacturing and repair factories.
Rotating machines such as milling machines and drilling machines are derived from lathes. In Hong Kong and other places of our country, there are also people called lathes. A milling machine refers to a machine tool that mainly uses a milling cutter to process various surfaces on a workpiece. Usually the rotation of the milling cutter is the main movement, and the movement of the workpiece (and) the milling cutter is the feed movement. It can process planes, grooves, various curved surfaces, gears, etc.
A milling machine is a machine tool that uses a milling cutter to mill a workpiece. In addition to milling planes, grooves, gear teeth, threads and spline shafts, milling machines can also process more complex profiles, with higher efficiency than planers, and are widely used in machinery manufacturing and repair departments. The milling machine is a machine tool with a wide range of uses. It can process planes (horizontal planes, vertical planes), grooves (key slots, T-shaped slots, dovetail slots, etc.), toothed parts (gears, spline shafts, sprockets, etc.) Spiral surface (thread, spiral groove) and various curved surfaces. In addition, it can also be used for machining and cutting off the surface and inner hole of the rotary body. When the milling machine is working, the workpiece is installed on the workbench or on the accessories such as the dividing head , the milling cutter rotates as the main movement, supplemented by the feed movement of the worktable or milling head, the workpiece can obtain the required processing surface. Because it is multi-tool intermittent cutting, the productivity of the milling machine is high. The workpiece is machined with the milling cutter Machine tool for milling. In addition to milling planes, grooves, gear teeth, threads and spline shafts, milling machines can also process more complex profiles, with higher efficiency than planers, and are widely used in machinery manufacturing and repair departments.
Both machine tools use programs to specify their cutting and cutting paths. This method is called numerical control. The word numerical control is added before its name to mean this, that is, automatic processing. I hope useful to you.
