Supporting Precision in Mold, Tool & Die Applications

Mold, Tool, and Die manufacturing demands a high level of precision. Whether you’re machining hardened tool steels, creating detailed mold cavities, or producing dies with complex geometries, the tooling used plays a critical role in ensuring consistent, repeatable results. To explore the full selection of tools relevant to this industry, including application-specific geometries and coatings, visit Harvey Tool’s Mold, Tool & Die Featured Solutions page.

Harvey Tool offers a comprehensive range of tools specifically engineered to meet the unique challenges of the Mold, Tool & Die industry. From tools designed to reach deep cavities to those that maintain surface finish in demanding materials, this offering is built to support precision and reliability throughout the machining process.

Tools included in this lineup are:

• CVD Diamond End Mills– This Harvey Tool lineup of Diamond Tooling for Non-Ferrous Materials features true crystalline CVD diamond on a solid carbide substrate, making it ideal for machining graphite, composites, green carbide, and green ceramics.
• End Mills for Hardened Steels– Engineered for hardened steels from 46Rc to 68Rc, this tool includes the latest generation AlTiN Nano coating for enhanced hardness and thermal resistance.

• End Mills for Aluminum Alloys– We know a part is only as successful as its finish. That’s why our aluminum finishing solutions are crafted for mirror-like surface quality.   

• End Mills for Medium Alloy Steels– Engineered for versatility, these CNC-ground, AlTiN-coated tools excel in machining stainless, tool, and medium alloy steels.
• Miniature Tapered End Mills– Tackling deep part features? Harvey Tool’s tapered Miniature End Mills offer unique geometries that take the challenge out of tough-to-reach cuts.

Diamond End Mills for Abrasive and Non-Ferrous Materials

Diamond tooling is essential to many moldmaking processes, particularly during electrode production and when machining non-metallic materials. Harvey Tool’s offering includes a wide selection of Diamond End Mills designed for use in abrasive and non-ferrous materials such as graphite, green carbide, green ceramics, and composites—materials commonly encountered in mold and die work.

These tools feature a CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) coating to promote longer tool life and uphold tight tolerances over extended machining cycles.

Highlighted tooling includes:

• Finishers – Ball Profile (CVD Diamond)
  With available radii as small as 0.005″, these tools are ideal for finishing high-detail electrodes and intricate features.
• Finishers – Corner Radius (CVD Diamond)
  Designed for applications requiring edge strength and tight tolerances, available with corner radii from 0.005″ to 0.0625″.
• Standard Ball and Square Profiles (CVD Diamond)
  Feature reduced neck geometries for improved clearance in deep cavity or long-reach work.

Diamond End Mills are frequently used in electrode machining for EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining), where precision in non-metallic workpieces directly influences final mold quality.

All tools in the Mold, Tool & Die offering are fully stocked and available to ship same day, helping to reduce lead times and keep your production on schedule.
