A '''machine tool builder''' in the broadest [[word sense|sense]] is a [[corporation]] or person that builds [[machine tool]]s. In the most common (and economically significant) sense of the term, a machine tool builder is a corporation whose business is building machine tools for sale to [[manufacturing|manufacturers]], who use them to manufacture products. The machine tools often make [[interchangeable parts]], which are assembled into subassemblies or finished assemblies, ending up sold to [[consumer]]s, either directly or [[business-to-business|through other businesses]] at intermediate links of a [[value added|value-adding chain]]. Alternatively, the machine tools may help make [[molding (process)|molds]] or [[die (manufacturing)|dies]], which then make the parts for the assemblies.
