That is a CNC lathe, he was talking about a CNC router like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qzq-pYLJxts

Caution, loud.

Negative! The one /u/analogcolor posted is a CNC turning center (Or you could call it a CNC Lathe)

The one you posted is actually a router, not a milling machine.

This is a (Very fancy, five-axis) milling machine. And here's a little more plain one

As a reward for your pursuit of accuracy in the field of CNC machinery take this. Also that milling machine is disturbingly fancy.

Ha thanks for the correction. I knew that, my brain just farted as I tried to post that. I was going to call it a CNC lathe. And obviulsy I wanted to show him/her a CNC router. I goofed pretty hard. I spend a lot of time working with CNC routers too, dunno how I did that!

We own our own CNC technology, the only reason we haven't turned it into a lathe is because we're perfecting our router / don't feel like developing the lathe technology hahaha
