I'm not sure if anyone knows the answer to this or if it would hurt SFE's business for me to know, but what PCB etching machine does SparkFun use to etch their boards? I've been wondering this for a long time and was wondering if I could get an answer.
Thanks so much!

You mean they don't have their own PCB machine? They order their PCBs from another company?

Production PCBs are not produced on any single “machine”: it takes MANY steps to produce a high-quality modern printed circuit board. Watch
the video tour of the Advanced Circuits production facility to see an example. It's simply awesome.
