Good afternoon,
I am always looking to check out new vendors for tooling. In my experience, Helical Solutions and Harvey Tool have been foundational suppliers for us for several years. The main reasons are several:
1: Extremely diverse selection of tools - specifically long reach necked endmills with varying corner profiles and ball options
2: Fast delivery
3: Easy to navigate site and catalog
4: They perform excellently
Are there any similar vendors who carry such a range of tools that are good as well? We do a lot of deep pocket applications so that is a key metric I want to keep in mind.
YG1 is another that is good but doesn't have the range of options for all our applications. Also their catalog sucks.
Do you have any experience doing custom ground tools? How did that go?
Another question about Harvey Group - they ahve recently acquired Micro100 and TitanUSA. Anyone have experience with those? I have used Micro100 occasionally for turning stuff and it seems pretty great.
