In the modern construction industry, energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and environmental performance are key priorities. Whether developing high-rise buildings, retrofitting commercial spaces, or installing modular office pods in open-plan environments, ensuring airtightness and sound isolation is essential.

Square shoulder milling is one of the most common milling operations, but it is rarely as simple as it looks. Creating a clean, precise 90-degree wall, maintaining surface quality, controlling vibration, and keeping tool costs under control all depend on making the right decisions before machining begins.

Forklifts, trailers and foot traffic converge in one of a facility’s busiest zones. Industry experts explain what keeps people safe there.

OSHA violations remain one of the biggest challenges on construction jobsites, impacting safety, productivity, and project timelines. Understanding where most violations occur is the first step toward building a safer and more compliant work environment.

In this episode of Tooling Up, host Toni Neary is joined by Dr. Michael Gomez, Director of Manufacturing Research and Technology at MSC Industrial Supply, to discuss the growing demand for miniature cutting tools and how Accupro helps manufacturers machine smaller, more complex components accurately and efficiently.

Learn what materials and applications are best suited to this composite cutting material.

A leading heavy structural steel fabrication company located in Georgia manufactures custom fabricated steel framing for building structures. They were looking for an abrasive that would increase productivity at a reduced cost.

This AI-powered tool is built on 3M’s application engineering knowledge in tapes and adhesives—and there’s a version exclusive to MSC.

Discover how Fluke ii Series Acoustic Imagers — including the ii500, ii905, and ii915 — help you detect and diagnose issues faster, prevent unplanned downtime, and boost operational efficiency.

Machine learning can model manufacturing behavior that’s difficult to capture with physics alone. MSC’s Dr. Tony Schmitz walks through a practical example showing how to get the job done.

Shops creating precision small-part, Swiss-type and medical components that will touch the lives of countless individuals need tooling that can keep up and meet the highest requirements for health and safety.

This guide covers machine guarding, LOTO, PPE and training to help operators and safety managers prevent serious injuries on the job.
