Harvey Tool provides the machining industry with unique and innovative products that solve machining requirements. From its “bread and butter” product, Miniature End Mills, to the specialty cutting tools that are hard-to-find elsewhere, Harvey Tool is trusted to provide quality tooling and deliver outstanding customer support.
Harvey Performance Company’s Don Grandt Employs a Novel “Heavy Radial Efficiency Milling” or “HREM” Technique to Boost Tool Life and Minimize Heat Generation in Titanium For all the characteristics that make Titanium ideal for extreme conditions, such as its high strength, low density, and corrosion resistant properties, it also makes it very difficult to machine.

Drilling an ultra-precise hole can be tough. Material behavior, surface irregularities, and drill point geometry can all be factors leading to inaccurate holes. A Spot Drill, if used properly, will eliminate the chance of drill walking and will help to ensure a more accurate final product. Choosing a Spot Drill Ideally, the center of a […]
High precision machining is a subset of subtractive manufacturing that has grown in popularity over the years, especially as industries like medical, dental, mold tool and die, and semi-conductor manufacturing grow. Some jobs can call for extremely small diameters (down to even .001”) and ultra-precise tolerancing. With tooling this miniature, machinists must utilize different machining […]
Proper tool coating plays a large role during the selection of a CNC cutting tool. At Harvey Tool, coatings are optimized for specific materials and alloys to ensure the highest tooling performance, possible. Each coating offers a unique benefit for the cutting tool: increased strength, enhanced lubricity, heat resistance, and wear mitigation, just to name […]
Whether your tool is a 1” diameter powerhouse rougher or a .032” precision end mill, slotting is one of the hardest operations on the tool. During slotting operations, a lot of force and pressure is placed on the entire cutting edge of the tool. This results in slower speeds and feeds and increased tool wear, […]
The machining industry generally considers micromachining and miniature end mills to be any end mill with a diameter under 1/8 of an inch. This is also often the point where tolerances must be held to a tighter window. Because the diameter of a tool is directly related to the strength of a tool, miniature end […]
