I think Machines are made by machine tools. Classic example is Lathe
I don't think there is an official definition of the difference, but I reckon a good one would be that a tool needs to be powered by a person whereas a machine doesn't.

Simon. I think the difference is that a machine has some kind of hinge or fulcrum, such as scissors as a basic example and that a tool has no moving part like a saw or shovel.

Definition of the difference could be as follows.
MACHINE - A device which is used to tranform the shape of any material as per requirement by some leverage mechanism but can not do so without any TOOL .
TOOL - A device which is also used to transform the shape of any material but it can do so without any MACHINE like hammer,Screw driver,file ,saw etc.
Tool can work without Machine but machine can not work without tool.
A tool is a devise that makes work easier, IE: Hammer, screwdriver, pry bar, etc.
A machine has two or more moving parts. IE: Nail Gun, Kitchen Blender, Automobile.
A machine is still a tool, but all tool are not machines.
A machine tool is a common name for machine equipment such as lathes and milling machines.
a tool is used by hands and machines aren't
explain the difference between single point & multi point cutting tool
Some tools are machines, such as the wedge, pulley, and flywheel. It may be that a tool makes a job easier and a machine is used to solve a problem, but even this seems like semantic wrangling. It might be that a machine is deliberately used for a job and a tool is a thing that is appropriated for a job. In this way, a human hand is a tool, but not a machine.
difference between lathe and drill machine doing full on piece of metal
Really there is no difference, if you wanted to be technical, you could say that a machine is a car, hand drill, garbage disposal, etc. . While a machine tool is a piece of equipment that makes parts or tooling, like a milling machine or lathe.
