CNC turning machine with powered tools

A computerised numerical control (CNC) is an electronic device
which is used for controlling machine tools.

By using the three axes X, Y, and Z any spot within the working zone
of a machine tool can be reached. This, however, only allows for move-
ments parallel to the axes. For instance, in order to attach a borehole
at an angle of 45° it is necessary to turn the workpiece or the tool
(or both).
