What are all the general criteria necessary to make a good selection of a machine tool?
The selection of machine-tools is usually based on the consideration of many variable factors/criteria, and obviously is largely a matter of judgment. There are mydiad publications on this - see e.g., this one .. available on RG https://www.researchgate.net/publication/235860939_A_multiple-criteria_approach_to_machine-tool_selection_for_focused_flexibility_manufacturing_systems

I would say, generally it's based on the application of machining in industry. As an example, for mass production application(automotive industry), less flexible (in sense of no.s of axis and/or options) while low cycle time purpose machines are prefered. On the other hand for mould & die industry the priority is capability of a machine to machine complex geometries precisly. For turbine blade machining more robust and less prone to vibration and multi-axis machines are required.... To further above, I think the future machine tools won't follow completely the traditional classification or borders of chip removal machines (Turning, milling...) anymore, Since, the machines are getting more and more multi-function (e.g. Turning-mill, Laser assisted milling, etc).
usually depend on material and what are machining process you want to used.
you have to look into the following requirements:
the cutting force and power
the size of work piece
the axes and control
It depends upon various factors, you may refer my paper , CNC machine tool selection using mcdm and use of software sanna
