I don’t really think that there is a word that starts with 械… Unless someone can prove me wrong?

Nor me, there is only 械 by itself. @NpPenguin idea is nice!

This question prompted me to do some research. 械闘 and 械繫 come up pretty readily although they only appear in a handful of dictionaries. I then found this post on 知恵袋. As it is probably region blocked for many people I will copy/paste the answer below:

『字通』によれば
【械解】かいかい 押送する。
【械檻】かいかん 加械して収檻する。
【械器】かいき 器物。武器の類。〔管子、国蓄〕千乘の國は、天財の殖する、械の出づる、財物の生ずるを封ず。
【械機】かいき 機心巧智。
【械繫】かいけい 加械して牢に入れる。〔漢書、婁敬伝〕上(しやう)、を怒罵して曰く、齊(婁敬をさす)、舌を以て官を得、乃ち今言して、吾が軍を沮(はば)むと。を廣武に械す。
【械頸】かいけい 首かせ。
【械梏】かいこく かせ。
【械数】かいすう 割符。
【械送】かいそう 押送する。
【械致】かいち 護送する。
【械杻】かいちゆう かせ。(○は木偏に紐の旁)
【械闘】かいとう 凶器をもち群闘する。
【械筏】かいばつ 槍いかだ。
【械用】かいよう 道具。

字通 is gigantic kanji dictionary. These words are almost certainly obsolete. I will check my much smaller kanji dictionary at work tomorrow as it also often has some nice obsolete words in and I wonder if it has any of these ones.
