Today’s Machining World is a Business to Business monthly magazine and Web publication which delves into the issues of concern to the people of the precision-parts industry. As new manufacturing technologies and processes evolve, Today’s Machining World will continue to inform and intrigue the reader about them.
Lloyd Graff — Editor-in-Chief
Lloyd Graff has had a love of writing since getting his first letter to the editor published by the Chicago Daily News when he was 12. In high school he wrote short pieces for Reader’s Digest. He became Sports Editor of University of Michigan’s Michigan Daily, and weighed a career in journalism before joining the family used machine tool business in 1969. His passion for writing never died as he wrote a “magalog” called the Graff-Pinkert Times in the 1990s. In 1999 he decided to build on his knowledge of the machining world and his writing experience by starting Screw Machine World, which became Today’s Machining World in 2005.
