A stepped shaft. Several diameters, one basic axis. Which machine category comes to mind?
Before answering, ask about material, quantity and the features that matter. A sketch is not a complete manufacturing order.

Other features and requirements can add operations and checking. Goes round is the beginning of the explanation, not the end.
What part should Bronto put on the board next? More plain-English process research at Machine Blue Book.
