## What is Lathe Pro?

Step up to the lathe. The metal is spinning — now make some chips fly.

Lathe Pro puts a real machinist's challenge in your pocket: drag your cutting tool against the spinning workpiece and shave it down, pass by pass, until it matches the blueprint. Watch the match meter climb as your part takes shape — every cut counts, and every slip shows.

HOW IT PLAYS
• Drag to cut — your tool follows your finger with satisfying precision
• Metal shavings and sparks fly as you carve into the spinning stock
• The blueprint wireframe shows exactly what the customer ordered
• A live cross-section view helps you dial in those final tenths
• Hit 85% to pass — push for 97% to earn the coveted third star
• Six inserts to master: flat, sharp V-point, wide finisher — plus the
  needle, chisel and cobalt tips waiting in the later wings

300+ PARTS TO MASTER
From a simple cylinder through the chess set, crankshafts and pagodas — into the Master Wing, the Expansion, the Toolroom and the Masterworks: whole new wings of blueprints arrive over the air, free, no update needed.

KEEP YOUR TOOLS COOL
On the harder wings your insert heats up as it bites. Watch the gauge, ease off, swap tools — push too hard and it SNAPS, and you're hammering it straight at the anvil.

A NEW CHALLENGE EVERY DAY
The Daily Challenge puts a fresh limited-time part on your bench every day. Keep the streak alive.

EASY TO LEARN, HARD TO PERFECT
Anyone can make chips. Machinists make parts. Overcut and there is no putting metal back — will you grind out a quick pass, or chase that flawless 100% match?

Climb the global Game Center leaderboard: every level banks points for precision — and the fastest clean clears earn the biggest speed bonuses. Share your proudest finishes straight from the results card.

Play it your way: full support for portrait and landscape.

Free to play, with only the occasional ad. Premium (one-time) removes them forever.

Clock in. The shop is open.
