Tips

usage
磨床 specifically means an industrial grinding machine in mechanical engineering — surface grinder, cylindrical grinder, etc. For a kitchen grinder (coffee, pepper) use (mò) or 研磨 (yánmójī). In factory contexts, common types: 平面磨床 ('surface grinder'), 磨床 ('cylindrical grinder').
memory
('to grind') + ('bed') = 'grinding bed' — many Chinese names for industrial machines use ('bed' as in machine-bed/work-table): ('lathe'), ('milling machine'), ('drill press'), ('planer'). The here means the supporting frame/table of the machine.
