Morphology

broaching + machine

The compound is directly compositional: 'broaching' (the process/tool of using a broach) + 'machine' yields 'a machine that performs broaching'. If a learner knows the constituent 'broaching' and 'machine', the meaning is immediately derivable and follows the common English pattern 'X machine = machine for X' (cross-linguistically common); the only barrier is that 'broaching' is a technical/rare lexical item, not that the compound is idiomatic.

Etymology

The noun broaching machine comes from the tool called a broach, a long bar with many cutting 'teeth' that is pushed or pulled through a piece of metal to make a shape, and the machine that moves it. So, the name means a machine that uses a broach to take away metal and make precise shapes.
