Turning generates cylindrical and rounded forms with a single point tool. The tool is stationary with the workpiece rotating. Turning is the most common process for metal cutting.

Boring is defined as a method to enlarge or improve the quality of an existing hole.

Boring Bar

Operation in which a rotating tool is used to create a round hole in a work piece.  Drilling is normally the first step in machining operations such as boring, reaming, tapping, counterboring, countersinking and spotfacing.

Parting and grooving is a turning category of its own with a wide range of machining applications requiring dedicated tools (which can, to some extent, be used for general turning).

Reaming is a finishing operation performed with a multi-edge tool giving high-precision holes. High surface finish, superb hole quality and close dimensional tolerance are achieved at high penetration rates and small depths of cut.

Reamer

Process of both external (e.g., thread milling) and internal (e.g., tapping, thread milling) cutting, turning and tooling of threads into particular material.

Threads

Process of both external (e.g., thread milling) and internal (e.g., tapping, thread milling) cutting, turning and tooling of threads into particular material.
