Accessing Harvey and Helical Tool Libraries in Mastercam
If you need additional support with your Harvey Tool and Helical libraries, think you may have found some dimensional data that needs correcting, or have feedback you want to share with our team, you can get in touch with us by sending an email to [email protected].
To ensure the best possible machining results, we have decided not to prepopulate speeds and feeds information into our tool libraries. Instead, we encourage machinists to access the speeds and feeds resources that we offer to dial accurate running parameters based on their material, application, and machine capabilities.
Helical Solutions Speeds & Feeds
To access speeds and feeds information for your Helical Solutions end mills, we recommend using our Machining Advisor Pro application. Machining Advisor Pro (MAP) generates specialized machining parameters by pairing the unique geometries of your Helical Solutions end mill with your exact tool path, material, and machine setup. MAP is available free of charge as a web-based desktop app, or as a downloadable application on the App Store for iOS and Google Play.
To learn more about Machining Advisor Pro and get started today, visit www.machiningadvisorpro.com. If you have any questions about MAP, please reach out to us at [email protected]
If you have further questions about speeds and feeds, please reach out to our Technical Support team. They can be reached Monday-Friday from 8 AM to 7 PM EST at 866-543-5422, or by email at [email protected].

Harvey Tool Speeds & Feeds
To access speeds and feeds information for your Harvey Tool product, head to http://www.harveytool.com/cms/SpeedsFeeds_228.aspx to find speeds and feeds libraries for every tool.
If you are looking for tool specific speeds and feeds information, you will need to access the tool’s “Tech Info” page. You can reach these pages by clicking any of the hyperlinked tool numbers across all of our product tables. From there, simply click “Speeds & Feeds” to access the speeds and feeds PDF for that specific tool.
If you have further questions about speeds and feeds, please reach out to our Technical Support team. They can be reached Monday-Friday from 8 AM to 7 PM EST at 800-645-5609, or by email at [email protected].
Once you have downloaded and imported your tool libraries, selecting a specific tool or group of tools can be done in several ways.
One way to find a tool is to search for a tool by tool number, or EDP number. For example, if you are looking for Helical Tool EDP 00015, you can find the EDP in the “Tool Name” field within the library.
You will also be able to sort the library by different tool dimensions like cutter diameter, flute count, and corner radius by clicking on the column headers. If you are looking for a more advanced search, you can click the “Filter” button on the bottom right side of the Tool Manager window. This will bring up a new window where you can filter results by tool profile (square, corner radius, ball), radius type, and more exact cutter diameter values.
You can find a direct link to Harvey Tool and Helical tool libraries in the Mastercam Tech Exchange by clicking the “Download” buttons in the webpage above, or by clicking the links below.
Another way to download our tool libraries is to head to the Mastercam Tech Exchange by visiting https://community.mastercam.com/techexchange. You will need to be logged in to your Mastercam.com account in order to access the Tech Exchange portal.
Once you are logged in, a database of different tool library files will appear. You can use the search functionality at the top of the page to filter the results by brand name. For example, entering “Helical Solutions” into the search bar will show you only Helical Solutions tool libraries. You can also narrow your search to find Harvey Tool and Helical tool libraries by using the “tags” feature and choosing the brand you are looking for from the drop down menu.
Once you have downloaded your tool library, you will need to import the tool libraries into Mastercam software by heading to the “Machine” tab, selecting “Mill”, and navigating to the “Toolpath” tab to access the Mastercam Tool Manager.
Once you are in the Mastercam Tool Manager, simply click on the folder icon to open your computer’s saved files. Navigate to the folder on your computer where you saved your tool libraries, and select the tool library files you have downloaded to add them to your Mastercam Tool Manager library.
If you have further questions or need support with Mastercam downloads, please get in contact with your Mastercam reseller or visit https://www.mastercam.com/en-us/Support/Technical-Support for more information.
