What are the benefits of CNC turning over manual turning and lathework?

The three primary advantages of CNC turning over manual turning are speed, precision and cost. CNC turning is typically four times faster than manual turning, and is up to 99.9% accurate to the computer-aided designs used. CNC turning, particularly on four- and five-axis machines, makes more intricate work possible, and cuts down both man-hours and machine time needed. All in all, it’s a very accurate and cost effective process.
