Metal Mania machining demos will be held daily at 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, Monday through Thursday, and will be led by Kennametal's own Global Machining Technology Team. Special guests will include Titan Gilroy and Barry Setzer from Titans of CNC, Lauren LaDell, also known as the "Spindle Chick," and the machining industry's own "Manufacturing Kid" Jacob Sanchez.

All machining demos in Kennametal's booth will be done on the very machine Kennametal is giving away at the end of the show — the SVM 4100 Vertical Machining Center.

The SVM 4100 is recognized for machining aluminum die-castings and is also ideal for general purpose light duty machining of steels. The winner of the SVM 4100 will be announced on Friday, September 13, at 12:00 PM CST. Delivery of the machine to the winner will be arranged before IMTS 2024 concludes on Saturday, September 14.

In addition to the CNC machine giveaway, attendees can enter to win custom guitars and boxes complete with tools and branded merchandise at Kennametal's "Metal Mania" booth experience. Kennametal will announce a guitar and box winner daily.

Kennametal's Booth No. 432324 is located in the West Building, level 3 (Tooling & Workholding).
