remachined

Cut anew mechanically

Remachined describes something that has been machined again—put back through a process of cutting, grinding, or shaping by machine tools.

Engine parts are commonly remachined to restore worn surfaces to proper specifications: The crankshaft was remachined rather than replaced.

The term appears in automotive repair, manufacturing, and metalworking contexts.
