machine tools
If you're talking about a broad category of equipment, this is the term I would use.
"A machine tool is a powered mechanical device, typically used to fabricate metal components of machines by machining, which is the selective removal of metal. "

milling machines
mecanizado = machining. Somewhat analogous to woodworking; I am currently using a router (the mechanical not the web router) to mill some wood pieces. In Spanish these machines are called "fresadoras" because the cutting bits look so much like strawberries. The work they produce on metal parts is referred to as "mecanizado", in English it is "machining". In either case, wood or metal, they are milling machines. The "arranque" and "deformación" refer to cutting and deforming the material that is being worked. A "machining machine" is far too redundent, so I'm sticking to a "milling machine".
