Lesson-3 : CNC Turning - Axis Nomenclature

Number of axes:

            The most common distinction of different CNC lathes is by the number of programmable axes. A typical CNC lathes have two standard axes – one axis is the ‘X’ axis, other axis is the ‘Z’ axis. The X-axis also represents the cross travel of the cutting tool, the Z-axis represents its longitudinal motion.
                        X – Diameter


                        Z – Length
