2008 Readers’ Choice Awards

This year’s listing of MAN Readers’ Choice Award Winners is based on responses divided into 13 categories: • Abrasives and Grinding • CAD/CAM • Cutting Tools • Drilling • Forming and Fabricating • Lathes and Turning Centers • Machine Controls and CNC • Machining Centers • Measurement and Inspection • Toolholding • Waterjet • Welding, Brazing, and Soldering • Workholding

While we strive to make all of our editorial content as relev-ent as possible, some products and services strike a certain chord in MAN readers and generate reader responses that make them choice selections. You, the readers, have voted by responding to the readers service links at the end of the articles or product descriptions in both the print and online versions of MAN and its electronic newsletter incarnation.

Abrasives and GrindingProducts such as grinding machines, wheels, buffing, sanding, and honing tools, and wheel dressers make up the abrasives category.
