North America
Defense components are often machined from extremely tough materials like billet titanium and stainless steel—materials that demand more than standard tooling. Helical’s high-performance end mills are designed to excel in these environments, offering advanced geometries and coatings that increase metal removal rates (MRR), reduce tool wear, and support fast, efficient roughing and finishing operations.
Lightweight composite materials are becoming increasingly dominant in defense applications—from aircraft and missiles to military ground vehicles. CoreHog is built to handle them. With specialized tools engineered for trimming, slotting, and routing composites, CoreHog supports the industry’s shift toward weight reduction and fuel efficiency.
The rise of 3D printing in defense manufacturing has increased demand for highly specialized tools capable of finishing intricate geometries and unique part features. Harvey Tool offers an expansive line of miniature and specialty profile tooling ideal for these complex post-processing operations—making it a valuable resource for defense innovation and prototyping.
No matter the platform—planes, rockets, or tactical vehicles—every component needs accurately machined holes for assembly. Valor delivers with a focused offering of high-performance aluminum drills and thread mills, ideal for lighter materials used in structural and bracket-mounted applications throughout the defense sector.
