What is different mill and lathe?

A mill and a lathe are both machine tools used in manufacturing, but they serve different purposes. A lathe rotates the workpiece against a stationary cutting tool, primarily used for shaping cylindrical parts. In contrast, a mill uses a rotating cutting tool to remove material from a stationary workpiece, allowing for more complex shapes and features. Essentially, lathes focus on turning, while mills focus on cutting and shaping.
