The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Machine tools employ some sort of tool that does the cutting or shaping.
- All machine tools have some means of constraining the workpiece and provide a guided movement of the parts of the machine.
- Thus, the relative movement between the workpiece and the cutting tool is controlled or constrained by the machine to at least some extent, rather than being entirely "offhand" or "freehand".
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Machine tool article was read about 55,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 42: each hit it takes is cut by 17 %.
