Data on the monthly production of machine tools can be obtained from the National Machine Tool Builders Association, in Cleveland. Occasional publications, such as Machine Tools Todays and Machines—Prices—Jobs, are issued once or twice a year to anyone interested. 

A subcommittee formed by the Machine Tool Safety Standards Committee (Bll) of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) adopted the acronym TR3 to designate its work. TR stands for technical report. The Committee, B11.TR3, has issued a document titled Risk assessment and reduction —A guideline to estimate, evaluate and reduce risks associated with machine tools. The Secretariat for this work is The Association for Manufacturing Technology. TR3 became a registered document at ANSI in November 2000.
