Pick a material to work on, set it on the lathe and start turning (milling) it to carve your own unique artifact. Enjoy the fun of turning with easy to use controls and without the actual risk of getting injured. ② Realistic turning (milling) physics. Lathe Machine features realistic physics movements as you control the cutting knife’s advancement in combination of 2 different axis.

The artifact you create dynamically takes a 3D shape as the knife advances and you can save & share your creation. ⑤ Customizable knives. You can pick from two types of gouges; one for turning metal and another one for turning wood. Then choose one of 8 different knife shapes depending on what you want to create and also choose 3 different widths. Thus enough customization to create a unique shape. ⑥ Unlockable products. You can unlock products that you can re-create. ⑦ Surprise interactions. Every finished product will be able to be displayed with a little surprise. Some of them will even allow you to personally interact with them. ⑧ Save unfinished work. Even if you get interrupted in the middle, that does not mean you have to start over from the beginning.
