NC
Numerical Control. A form of programmable automation (http://www.jjjtrain.com/vms/glossary_a.html#automation) in which the machine tool is controlled by punched tape (http://www.jjjtrain.com/vms/glossary_t.html#tape). NC code contains a program (http://www.jjjtrain.com/vms/glossary_p.html#part program) of instructions and commands, which consists of numbers, letters, and other symbols. See also CNC (http://www.jjjtrain.com/vms/glossary_c.html#cnc)
CAD
Computer Assisted Design. A computer (http://www.jjjtrain.com/vms/glossary_c.html#computer) based design and drafting tool. See CAM (http://www.jjjtrain.com/vms/glossary_c.html#cam)
CAM
Computer Assisted Manufacturing. In general, CAM uses a computer (http://www.jjjtrain.com/vms/glossary_c.html#computer) to assist in any or all phases of manufacturing. But more specifically CAM in the machine shop deals with automatic programming (http://www.jjjtrain.com/vms/glossary_p.html#program) of CNC (http://www.jjjtrain.com/vms/glossary_c.html#cnc) machinery. See also CAD (http://www.jjjtrain.com/vms/glossary_c.html#cad)

Card reader
A machine that reads punched cards into a computer.

Center
1) A point around which anything revolves or rotates.
2) In the machine shop this often refers to a centering device usually affixed to the tailstock (http://www.jjjtrain.com/vms/glossary_t.html#tail stock) of a lathe (http://www.jjjtrain.com/vms/glossary_e.html#engine lathe), which is used to support a work piece with a pre-drilled center hole (http://www.jjjtrain.com/vms/glossary_c.html#center drill). The center and the pre-drilled hole have 60 degree (http://www.jjjtrain.com/vms/glossary_d.html#degree) included angles (http://www.jjjtrain.com/vms/glossary_a.html#angle). The center usually has a Morse taper (http://www.jjjtrain.com/vms/glossary_m.html#morse taper) on the opposite end for snug fitting into the tailstock (http://www.jjjtrain.com/vms/glossary_t.html#tail stock). Live-centers have ball bearings (http://www.jjjtrain.com/vms/glossary_b.html#bearing) for rotation. Dead centers do not rotate and require lubrication. The top image is a dead center. The bottom image is a live-center.

Center cutting end mill
An end mill (http://www.jjjtrain.com/vms/glossary_e.html#end mill) that is capable of axial as well as radial cut. Two opposing cutting flutes (http://www.jjjtrain.com/vms/glossary_f.html#flute) are so close together that the mill can act as a drill (http://www.jjjtrain.com/vms/glossary_d.html#drill). Below left is a center cutting end mill. Below right is a hollow coolant (http://www.jjjtrain.com/vms/glossary_c.html#coolant)-flow end mill capable of side cutting but not down cutting.

Chamfer
To bevel an edge. This can be a straight edge, curved edge, or a hole

Chamfer gage
Tool used to measure the width of chamfers/countersinks (http://www.jjjtrain.com/vms/glossary_c.html#chamfer) at the top of a hole.
