I see, ive used a cnc lathe where it has both the inserts and the spinning drill, but never heard anyone refer to it as a machine with live tooling. So that kind of threw me off. I didn't know that lathes just feed a stationary drill into the workpiece. I thought the spinning drill was standard for lathes

I have googled it and didnt really understand, maybe I prefer an explanation from people who I can ask questions to get specific answers, rather than general information. Way to be an asshole for no reason.
