CNC Turning is a manufacturing process wherein metal round stock is held in a chuck on a spindle and rotated while a cutting tool is fed to the bar stock to remove material in order to create a desired shape.

Sometimes also referred to as CNC Lathe, CNC Turning is an effective way to make cylindrical parts, as well as other shapes, including squares or hexagons.
