Norwegian term or phrase: kilesportrekkemaskin
A tool or machine used in a machine shop, probably for cutting a groove or slot for a key? At this point, it's more the "trekkemaskin" part that has me stalled, but I do need the entire correct English term if you have it.

Thanks. I'm picking this one on the basis of more English language corroboration for keyway + milling + machine than for key + groove + drawing + machine. I'm going to use it without the hyphen. Note the alternative "keyway cutting and milling machine" is out there as well, but with fewer Google hits.

track drawing machine


Explanation:
There are plenty of wire drawing machines, but I am not so sure about a "track drawing machine". Found one manufactured in China though, see ref.

However, I found a translation for trekkemaskin:
"Disse maskinene kalles av og til ”prøvestrekkemaskiner” (”sample drawing machines”) for kontroll af fremstillingsprosessen" http://www.toll.no/upload/tolltariffen/kommentarer/kom84-200...

disagree  Roald Toskedal: I'm sorry, but this doesn't appear to be the 'critter' in question. "Kilespor" would be "Machine key groove", but I haven't found refereces to any machine for 'carving' them...

Well, you know, having 'battled' with my fair share of machine keys and their grooves over the years, I knew immediately to what this contraption had to be related.
I've never heard of 'drawing' grooves though, but evidently that's one of its applications... :)

Example sentence(s):
  • The solution to this problem was found in the hydraulic groove drawing machine.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks -- I think you've run this critter to ground! ". . . the technician is provided with an interesting range of machines the scope of which bears little resemblance to that of their forerunners." And the translator is confronted with a term that bears scant resemblance to what has been used previously. :-)

Asker: Thanks again for your help. In the end, I decided that the description by Leistritz might be influenced by the company's German origin.
