A CNC lathe is the same as a manual lathe except a CNC lathe is controlled by a computer. it is primarily used to machine round parts.

A CNC turning center is a machine on which the job rotates on a chuck wheel mounted on a mandrel and a fixed tool is moved around to shape it.

The term “machining center” describes almost any CNC milling and drilling machine that includes an automatic tool changer and a table that clamps the work piece in place. On a machining center, the tool rotates, but the work does not.
