Morphology
superfinishing + machine
The phrase is a straightforward compound: 'super' (intensifier) + 'finishing' (a finishing process) + 'machine' (device), so a learner who knows those constituent words can infer it is a machine that performs a very fine finishing process. Although the precise technical method (thin abrasive removal) is specialized, the general function is directly derivable from the parts.
Etymology
The noun superfinishing machine comes from the idea of a machine that gives the final, extra-smooth surface: super (very) and finishing (the last smoothing step). So, it is a machine used after other work to remove a thin layer with a fine stone or tape and give a 'very smooth' surface.
