Morphology

microfinishing + machine

The phrase is a straightforward noun–noun compound: 'machine' denotes a device and 'microfinishing' denotes finishing at a very small / fine scale, so the overall meaning is a device that performs micro-scale finishing. This compositional pattern is regular and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents ('micro'/'microfinishing' and 'machine') can reliably infer the meaning.

Etymology

The term microfinishing machine shows a clear picture: micro means 'very small', finishing means 'final smoothing', and machine is a tool that does the work. That's why it means 'a machine that gently removes a very thin top layer left by earlier work to make a part very smooth and precise'.
