The decline of manufacturing in the United States has long been a reason for outcry and for good reason. What was once the crux of the American economy, manufacturing has long seen its days of dominance in America, thanks to lower labor costs and fewer regulations in foreign countries. But, for a multitude of reasons, in the past few years domestic manufacturing has found new life, with manufacturing bringing the most jobs back to America as recent as April 2016. While different manufacturers have reported different reasons for this return, the cutting tool industry has shared in this reshoring and growth thanks to advances in cutting tool technology.
