German term

Spindeln

German to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Machine tools
In a list of machine tools owned by a company:

23 konventionelle Maschinen (Raeumen, **Spindeln**, Bohren).

No further contect, sorry. Very grateful for your help but please don't tell me the answer is "spindles". It is a machining operation (like the other two words in the list)
Proposed translations (English)
4 +3 boring

Christopher Kennedy Jan 16, 2008:
Not all lists are necessarily logical. Spindles IS what it says and I can't see any way that this is a verb like the other two words
