A straight line engine turning machine is a machine used for engraving decorative patterns on a surface. The engraving may be referred to as Guilloche , which also encompasses patterns created with the rose engine lathe . ^[1] Where the rose engine is based on a lathe, the straight line engine has more in common with a metal planer machine .

The straight line engine turning machine commonly consisted of an upright slide, a cross slide, a slide rest which holds the cutting tool, and a pattern bar holder ^[2]
