The United States Cutting Tool Institute (USCTI) will extend a free one-year associate membership to any company that attends the 2009 USCTI Fall Meeting Oct. 17-19 at the Hyatt Regency at Gainey Ranch in Scottsdale, Ariz.

The trial membership will provide access to cutting tool industry reports, standards and market data. Full membership provides access to networking with industry peers at national meetings, insight into market and industry trends, emerging technologies, and human resources and labor relations information relevant to the cutting tool industry. USCTI continually surveys its members on wages and benefits, and provides updates on labor, tax, EPA and other issues affecting the industry.
