Models range from small manual machines to big bed-type and duplex mills. The work is mounted on the table and fed into the rotating cutter or endmill to accomplish the milling steps vertical milling machines also feed endmills into the work by means of a spindle-mounted quill. Features include a head with a spindle that drives the cutters a column, knee and table that provide motion in the three Cartesian axes and a base that supports the components and houses the cutting-fluid pump and reservoir. Runs endmills and arbor-mounted milling cutters. Models are typically designated according to their вЂњswing,вЂќ or the largest-diameter workpiece that can be rotated bed length, or the distance between centers and horsepower generated. Toolroom and bench lathes are used for precision work the former for tool-and-die work and similar tasks, the latter for small workpieces (instruments, watches), normally without a power feed. Special lathe types include through-the-spindle, camshaft and crankshaft, brake drum and rotor, spinning and gun-barrel machines.

Features include gear- (speed) and feed-selector levers, toolpost, compound rest, lead screw and reversing lead screw, threading dial and rapid-traverse lever. The engine lathe consists of a headstock and spindle, tailstock, bed, carriage (complete with apron) and cross slides. Comes in a variety of forms, ranging from manual to semiautomatic to fully automatic, with major types being engine lathes, turning and contouring lathes, turret lathes and numerical-control lathes. Turning machine capable of sawing, milling, grinding, gear-cutting, drilling, reaming, boring, threading, facing, chamfering, grooving, knurling, spinning, parting, necking, taper-cutting, and cam- and eccentric-cutting, as well as step- and straight-turning.
