It can be programmed to turn out parts of complex shapes that are difficult to be machined on an ordinary lathe. Suitable for high precision, large batch, complex shape parts. But it also works well in small batches. It costs more to maintain than a common lathe.

In the process of processing can be automatically measured, and can automatically compensate tool wear and other reasons for the error. So the processing quality is good, the accuracy is stable.

The investment of CNC lathe is lower than that of CNC lathe, but it requires higher operating skills of workers, so the wage level is high.
