TPT September 2017

The September Issue Welcome to the latest issue of Tube & Pipe Technology magazine. This month we have an article on maximising the tool life of carbide

September/October 2017 Vol 30 No 5

Rory McBride – Editor

tube cutting saws written by Christian Mayrhofer and Willy Goellner from AME on page 117. We also have a full feature on cutting, sawing and profiling starting on page 102. This issue of the magazine will be distributed at FABTECH in the USA and EMO in Germany. The team will be at both making sure that an international audience is aware of all the machines featured in these pages. It is particularly good to see EMO in Hanover return after a four-year break. For the first time this year FABTECH will feature a special tube pavilion, due to growing interest in the area, so I hope this is a great success and continues to grow over the next few years. There is definitely room in the calendar for a major tube trade show in the US every couple of years. Next issue we have features on finishing, end finishing and superfinishing as well as welding technology and heat treatment. If you would like to submit an article for the magazine the editorial deadline is 8 September. The advertising deadline is 22 September.
