Fine detail work is a staple in mold and die manufacturing, and Harvey Tool delivers the specialty profiles needed to do it right. Whether it’s chamfering, engraving, dovetailing, or working in tight features, Harvey Tool’s miniature and specialty lines provide unmatched versatility. Its 5- and 7-flute hardened steel end mills are also excellent for finishing operations in difficult materials.
Before heat treatment, tool steels and alloy steels must be machined efficiently and accurately—Valor delivers on both fronts. With its material-specific 4140 drill, thread mills, and spotting tools, Valor supports key operations like dowel pin hole drilling and tapped features that require tight tolerances in raw materials.
Clean finishes are critical to mold performance—and that means burr-free edges. ATA SGSPRO provides deburring tools that are essential for finishing molds by hand. Whether used offline or at the bench, ATA’s solutions help prevent surface deformities and ensure precision in final mold form and fit.
