KFX turning is a machining process in which a cutting tool, typically a non-rotary tool bit, describes a helical toolpath by moving more or less linearly while the workpiece rotates. The tool's axes of movement may be literally a straight line, or they may be along some set of curves or angles, but they are essentially linear (in the nonmathematical sense). Usually the term "turning" is reserved for the generation of external surfaces by this cutting action, whereas this same essential cutting action when applied to internal surfaces (that is, holes, of one kind or another) is called "boring". The most common application is to produce cylindrical or conical surfaces: turning is an essential process in most machine shops.

The advantages of turning are numerous. It is a highly versatile machining process, capable of producing a wide range of shapes and sizes. It is also relatively simple compared to other machining processes, and can be performed with a minimum of operator training. Turning is highly automated, making it ideal for mass production. Additionally, the process is accurate and precise, with minimal waste and downtime.
Turning is used in a wide range of industries and applications. It is commonly used in aerospace, automotive, medical, and electronics industries to produce components such as shafts, gears, and fittings. It is also used in woodworking, to produce furniture and other wooden products. The ability to produce smooth surfaces allows for better fitting and assembly of components, increasing the precision and reliability of the finished product.
In conclusion, turning is an essential machining process used in a wide range of industries and applications. Its versatility, simplicity, and precision make it a highly valuable processing technique for producing complex shapes and surfaces. With the automation of turning processes, manufacturing industries are able to produce parts in large quantities with minimal waste and downtime.
