A machine shop or engineering workshop is a room, building, or company where machining, a form of subtractive manufacturing, is done. In a machine shop, machinists use machine tools and cutting tools to make parts, usually of metal or plastic (but sometimes of other materials such as glass or wood).

These machines are specifically designed to handle large-scale components and perform precision machining operations required in automotive production. Bridge mills are utilized for milling, drilling, and contouring tasks on large automotive parts, such as engine blocks and chassis components.

Machine shops offer a range of benefits that make them an indispensable part of the manufacturing and engineering sectors. Here are some of the key advantages: Precision and Accuracy: Advanced tools and technology like CNC machines ensure parts are made with high precision, meeting stringent specifications.
