USCTI hosts two institute meetings a year, in the Spring and in the Fall. During these meetings guest speakers provide information on relevant and timely topics, members have ample networking and social opportunities and the program offers insights into the cutting tool industry. The USCTI works to represent, promote, and expand the U.S. cutting tool industry and to promote the benefits of buying American-made cutting tools manufactured by its members. These promotions, in conjunction with your company’s individual promotional efforts, serve to strengthen your business and the industry as a whole.
