“When top companies collaborate to get the most out of their machining setup, attaining high-level removal rates becomes a reality,” said Don Grandt, Harvey Performance Company National Application Engineer.

Harvey Performance Company is proud to announce that their end mill brands ranked highly in the 2021 CNC Cookbook End Mill Survey, a questionnaire meant to gauge machinists’ most preferred manufacturers. For the fourth consecutive round, Harvey Tool has been voted #1 Most Popular End Mill Brand by survey participants, beating out Accupro, Kennemetal, YG-1, and OSG, among others.

Founded in 2004, CoreHog spent its first several years of operation servicing the Aerospace machining industry, primarily. When the demand for advanced cutting tools escalated shortly thereafter, as new materials and techniques began growing in popularity, CoreHog expanded to support several different sectors: aerospace, automotive, technology, defense and naval, and sporting goods. Due to the high strength, low weight properties of composites, they have grown in popularity for several years, and continue to do so.

In addition to asking respondents’ favorite end mill brand, the survey also gauged customers’ criteria when selecting end mills. More than 73% of respondents selected that they choose end mills that represent the best value combination of performance and cost. And, when asked about which brands represent this combination best, Harvey Tool finished first overall with 7.6% of the vote. Helical came in third place, improving from 12th position in the 2018 survey.

The decision to launch the Valor Holemaking brand was made in effort to deliver to machinists a premium, high quality holemaking offering featuring drills designed, engineered, and manufactured in the United States. “Our customers want and need American-made quality in their drilling applications and we’re excited to offer a fully-stocked inventory of drills and delivery and service levels that our customers have come to expect with all Harvey Performance Company brands,” said Harvey Performance Company Senior Vice President of Sales Jerry Gleisner.

The test, which was facilitated by Makino, was conducted in its PS105 Vertical Machining Center, and utilized toolpaths from Mastercam. For tooling, a standard 1/2” Helical Solutions HEV-C-6, a 6 flute, variable pitch rougher with chipbreaker geometry outfitted with a Haimer Safe-Lock™, was used to hog out an impressive amount of material. It is at this point that the team reached remarkable MRR levels of up to 40in³ at 10,695 RPMs. From there, the final part was finished with a 1/2”, 5 flute Helical Solutions High Performance Chamfer Mill, before it was finally engraved using a .015” Harvey Tool Runner Cutter.

Harvey Performance Company National Application Engineer, Don Grandt was on hand for a webinar featuring the three brands. Engineers from these companies explained what considerations went into this impressive feat alongside a video taken live of the machining process.

“Since Harvey Performance Company’s acquisition of Helical in 2015, we’ve tripled its product offering of high performance tooling, launched Machining Advisor Pro, and offered more product resources than ever before,” said Harvey Performance Company Senior Vice President of Sales Jerry Gleisner. “It’s incredible to see the brand rapidly ascend the rankings of this survey with each iteration, and it’s a true reflection of all the hard work our team puts forth every day.”

Harvey Performance Company’s sixth brand will introduce a superior American-made high performance drilling and holemaking offering for CNC machinists.

“We’ve enjoyed partnering with Pete and his senior leadership team over the past several years to help drive significant organic and acquisition-driven growth in the business,” said Jay Pauley Managing Director at Summit Partners. “We are proud to have partnered with Harvey and look forward to watching their continued growth.”

Peter Cosgrove, CEO of ATA, said, “ATA is delighted to join Harvey Performance Company, with whom we share a unified global vision for the future.
