CNC turning, in Manchester or anywhere else, is a precision machining process where specific sections of a workpiece, typically cylindrical or round components, are held in place and rotated while cutting tools remove material to achieve the desired shape and dimensions. This process is often used to create cylindrical parts, such as shafts or threaded components with high accuracy and surface finish.

CNC cutting is a broader term that encompasses various cutting processes, and CNC milling is a specific technique within that practice. CNC milling involves the use of rotating cutting tools that move along multiple axes (X, Y, and Z) to remove material from a stationary workpiece, resulting in the precise shaping and machining of solid materials like metals or harder plastics. In contrast, CNC cutting can also refer to other processes such as laser cutting, plasma cutting, or waterjet cutting.
