A freestanding Error creating thumbnail: machine shop is a type of Error creating thumbnail: job shop where a variety of parts are Error creating thumbnail: machined for different companies. Its machinists use machine tools and cutting tools to perform tasks such as milling, shaping, drilling, finishing and other processes related to metalworking. Machining is a subtractive process by which material is removed to fabricate the pieces, which are most commonly composed of materials such as metal or plastic.
OSM's industrial=machine_shop tag identifies workshops where machining or fabrication of custom parts is offered to the client on a stand-alone basis as a service. The client supplies a blueprint, workpiece, design or specification and the parts are custom-machined to order.
If the parts are being fabricated for use in the prototyping, production or repair of a factory's own product, the facility should not be tagged as "machine shop". Instead, use man_made=works + product=* with the name of the product being made, as the map only indicates finished products or output.
For instance, if the factory actually makes new machines, man_made=works + industrial=machinery would be appropriate.
Draw an area marking this feature. It is also OK to set a node at its centre, if mapping as area is impossible. Add tag industrial=machine_shop and landuse=industrial.
