                    KENNAMETAL INC. ANNOUNCES EXPIRATION OF
                        HART-SCOTT-RODINO WAITING PERIOD
                  FOR GREENFIELD INDUSTRIES, INC. TRANSACTION

LATROBE, PENNSYLVANIA, OCTOBER 31, 1997 - Kennametal Inc. (NYSE:KMT) announced
today that the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust 
Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, with respect to its pending all-cash
tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of the common stock of

on October 30, 1997.

The tender offer remains subject to the other conditions listed in the Offer to
Purchase, including approval from the Federal Cartel Office ("FCO") in Germany,
where Greenfield conducts certain operations. Kennametal intends to file its
pre-merger notification with the FCO in the near future, and expects to proceed
with its tender offer and acquisition of Greenfield following the expiration of
the applicable one-month waiting period or earlier clearance from the FCO.

the tender offer by its scheduled expiration date, however, there can be no
assurance that the FCO will grant such early clearance.

industrial supplies and accessories for the metalworking, mining and highway
construction industries. With more than 7,500 employees worldwide and sales of
approximately $1.2 billion for the year ended June 30, 1997, Kennametal is one
of the world's leading producers and suppliers of cutting tools and
wear-resistant parts made of cemented carbides and other hard materials.

1996.
