A machining system and an associated method for forming a non-metallic part including a headstock assembly and a tailstock assembly, the headstock assembly and the tailstock assembly being axially aligned along a headstock-tailstock axis, the headstock assembly and the tailstock assembly together operable for rotatably supporting the part. The system also including a base operable for movably supporting the headstock assembly and the tailstock assembly. The system further including at least one accessory carrier movably coupled to the base, the at least one accessory carrier including at least one accessory operable for assisting in the loading, stabilizing, and unloading of a workpiece. The system further including a plurality of tool changers movably coupled to the base, each of the plurality of tool changers including a plurality of tools operable for machining surfaces of the workpiece and forming the part. The system further including a controller operable for directing the machining system to form the part.
