Examples of machine tools are:
* [[Broach (metalwork)|Broaching machine]]
* [[Drill#Drill press|Drill press]]
* [[Gear shaper]]
* [[Hobbing machine]]
* [[Honing (metalworking)|Hone]]
* [[Lathe (tool)|Lathe]]
* Honing Machine
* [[Screw machine (automatic lathe)|Screw machine]]s
* [[Milling machine]]
* [[Shear (sheet metal)]]
* [[Shaper]]
*[[Bandsaw]][[File:TC625 2.jpg|alt=thibaut 5 axis saw|thumb|5 axis bridge saw]] [[Saws]]
* [[Planer (metalworking)|Planer]]
* [[Stewart platform]] mills
* [[Grinding machine]]s
* Multitasking machines (MTMs)—CNC machine tools with many axes that combine turning, milling, grinding, and material handling into one highly automated machine tool

When fabricating or shaping parts, several techniques are used to remove unwanted metal.  Among these are:
* [[Electrical discharge machining]]
* [[Grinding (abrasive cutting)]]
* [[cutting tool (metalworking)|Multiple edge cutting tools]]
* Single edge cutting tools

Other techniques are used to ''add'' desired material. Devices that fabricate components by selective ''addition'' of material are called [[rapid prototyping]] machines.
