Members of the TPT team will be at all of the events so please do come and say hello if you are attending. The editorial deadline for the forthcoming November issue is 13 September. It will have features on bending, end forming & swaging; cutting technology, sawing & saw blades; and welding technology, equipment & consumables. There will also be a special Focus on Italy feature.
