Technical Terms in Mexico

votes
I am working in an industrial setting in Mexico. My spanish is enough to get by but I am tripping over many technical terms for everyday things here in a plant. I am looking for a more complete list of words used in this setting. Here are a few I have so far:
- roscadora - threading machine
- proveedor - supplier
- daño - damage
- bisel - bevel
- instumento - instrument (for measuring)
- rodillo - roll
- turno - shift
- roscado - thread
- longitude - length
- espresor - wall thickness/guage
- válvula - valve
- herramienta - tool (general)
- setear - to set up
- puesta a punto - to set up
- desgaste - wear (through use)
- tocho - billet
- taller - workshop
- máquina - machine
- tubo - tube/pipe
Please correct anything I have wrong. I am sure that many of these are specific to Mexico but any other words to add to my list would be appreciated.
Thank you.
