How programming method is different for CNC Lathe and VMC?

Question

Accepted Answer

Programming methods for CNC Lathe and VMC differ in toolpath generation, tool orientation, and workpiece setup.

CNC Lathe programming focuses on turning operations, while VMC programming involves milling operations.
CNC Lathe programming uses G-codes for toolpath generation, while VMC programming uses both G-codes and M-codes.
In CNC Lathe programming, the tool orientation is fixed, while in VMC programming, the tool can move in multiple axes.
Workpiece setup in CNC Lathe programming is simpler compared to VMC programming, which requires more complex fixturing.
Example: In CNC Lathe programming, the tool moves along the Z-axis for turning operations, while in VMC programming, the tool can move along multiple axes for milling operations.

Accepted Answer

In CNC Lathe Job is  rotating and Tool is not rotating. But in VMC Tool is rotating.
