Special 90th Anniversary Issue
The June 2018 digital edition of Modern Machine Shop covers topics such as die/mold machining and circle-segment tools. This issue also looks back at nine decades of covering machining practices.

In this special collection, the editors look beyond just epochal or event-defining issues of the magazine in favor or “regular” issues because the magazine has always sought to be relevant and helpful to the metalworking business leaders and professionals of the time.
