machine tools
Metal-cutting power equipment
Machine tools are power-driven machines used to cut, shape, or finish metal and other materials—lathes, milling machines, drill presses, grinders.
The term distinguishes these stationary workshop machines from hand tools and from the parts they produce.
A machine tool makes other machines possible, occupying a foundational position in manufacturing.
