Features
Read full description

CNC Lathe Simulator is a software simulator of a numerical control lathe is an educational methodological development intended for basic familiarization of novice machine building specialists with the principles of programming parts turning operations using standard G-code (ISO). The three-dimensional simulation model is based on a lathe with an inclined bed, equipped with a CNC system, a twelve-position turret head, a three-jaw chuck, a tailstock, a system for supplying lubricating and cooling liquid, and other units. The material is processed along two controlled axes. Field of application of the software product: educational process using computer technology: laboratory lessons of students in computer classes, distance learning, demonstration support of lecture material in the group of areas of training and specialties: «Metallurgy, Engineering and Material Processing». The main functions of the application: editing the code of control programs of a lathe, operations with control program files, setting up geometric parameters of a cutting tool, continuous/step-by-step execution of control program blocks, three-dimensional visualization of tool movements in the machine’s workspace, simplified visualization of the workpiece surface, calculation of processing modes, a brief reference guide on using G-code. The graphics component of the software uses the OpenGL 2.0 component base. The graphical user interface of the program is implemented in English. Limitations of the Light version: it is impossible to change the length of the workpiece, only two positions of the turret head are available.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Electronics Toolkit! at 4.3 against CNC Lathe Simulator Lite's 3.7. Electronics Toolkit! also leads on ratings volume (556 vs 11) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). CNC Lathe Simulator Lite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Electronics Toolkit! holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Electronics Toolkit! has 556 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Electronics Toolkit!'s written reviews are positive against 59% of CNC Lathe Simulator Lite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Electronics Toolkit! ships an update every 2 months, CNC Lathe Simulator Lite every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
