United States Cutting Tool Institute (USCTI)

The United States Cutting Tool Institute (USCTI) represents and promotes the U.S. cutting tool industry and the benefits of buying American-made cutting tools manufactured by its members. USCTI membership includes North American manufacturers and remanufacturers of cutting tools, plus tool surface-treatment providers.

USCTI members span carbide tooling, drills and reamers, metal cutting saw blades, milling cutters, PCD and PCBN tooling, substrate materials, surface coatings, tool holders, and other cutting-tool categories. The Institute also supports industry education, standards, statistics programs, surveys, and member meetings focused on trends affecting cutting-tool manufacturers and related suppliers.

This MFG Axis profile gives manufacturers, suppliers, and CTE readers a current reference point for USCTI and its role in the cutting-tool community.
