machine tool
Industrial cutting equipment
A machine tool is a power-driven machine used to cut, shape, or finish metal or other rigid materials—lathes, milling machines, drill presses, grinders.
The term distinguishes these precision manufacturing machines from hand tools and from the products they make: The factory invested in new machine tools to increase production capacity.
