We have been testing your cutters, specifically for plastics, and have had great success...
We have been testing your cutters, specifically for plastics, and have had great success. I am getting our programmers on board to create our CNC programs based off of your tools. The machinists are now asking to order additional cutters for use on other applications that they are currently using a D cutter for.

Our shop has benefited from the in stock, great selection of micro tools in unusual lengths and sizes ...
We are surprised at how accurate the "Your Specials Are Our Standards" really is. Since the first time we received a Harvey catalog in 2005, our shop has benefited from the in stock, great selection of micro tools in unusual lengths and sizes. The quality is excellent and we regularly need tools that are ONLY available from Harvey Tool!

The selection is great and so is the delivery...
Our plastics molding business is always asked to do more to help meet our customers' requirements. Harvey Tool has enabled us to meet the challenges with unique, high quality cutting tools to machine unique mold features. The selection is great and so is the delivery. We do proto type and production molds for medical products where short lead time for product development and production is key. Their products have also allowed us to perform unusual machining that in the past was done with EDM or additional setups. GO HARVEY!

No other tools have been able to touch the tool wear for certain applications...
We started using Harvey amorphous diamond coated tools for tough materials recently. No other tools have been able to touch the tool wear for certain applications. We can still use the "worn" tools for aluminum! We now buy 5-10 different Harvey tools with the diamond coating to keep in our stock.
~ BN (December 2011)
Our orders always go out on time...
I love your website - it is easy to follow and the "Check our Stock" screen saves me so much time. Our orders always go out on time and my customers receive just what they ordered. When I do need to call for assistance, your associates are always knowledgeable and so very friendly. Thank you for great service.

Thanks Harvey Tool, for giving me one less thing to worry about...
We've been using Harvey cutters on all of our satellite parts for several years. Quality, availability and price has made Harvey our only consideration for small cutters. Because of this, we do well on parts that no one else wants to quote on. Thanks Harvey Tool, for giving me one less thing to worry about.
~ RP (November 2011)
The Amorphous Diamond coatings are excellent...
I recently have been ordering Harvey Tool brand endmills and am very impressed with them. The Amorphous Diamond coatings are EXCELLENT. I hope you offer that coating on even more tools in the future.
~ JR (August 2011)
We couldn't even machine without one of your tools...
Harvey is the best Micro tool manufacturer. We build molds daily and until we found Harvery Tools we were extremely limited to the things we could do. Our mold production has increased in speed and our building techniques have changed dramatically. Some things we couldn't even machine without one of your tools. Keep it up.
~ JR (August 2011)
Harvey had the exact cutter in stock...
Had taken on a job with one of our customers, and they had a feature we weren't familiar with. Harvey had the exact cutter in stock to produce this feature, and after having spoken with them on the application they guided us through it, and we met the customer's expectations the first time. We appreciate the availability and the support Harvey gave us.
~ LW (June 2011)
Harvey Tool is the very best source I use...
I think Harvey Tool is the very best source I use. Ya'll always have stock and the current price is right in the catalog that is updated frequently.
~ EG (May 2011)
Keep up the great work...
Thank you! Our overnight UPS order arrived here today for a rush job we have. Keep up the great work! We use your products often, and are very happy with the quality, performance, and service.
~ DO (May 2011)
The ability to get extremely small cutters next day is invaluable...
Absolutely nothing compares to Harvey. We cut alot of small electrodes and to have the ability to get extremely small cutters next day is invaluable. These endmills are built from quality material that stands up more than other endmills I have tried.
~ JS (May 2011)
When ever I find myself in a tight situation I open your book...
I stumbled upon your tooling by accident and after viewing your catalog I found alot of tools that I always said "I wish someone made this" about. To my delight your tooling is everything I hoped it would be. Whenever I find myself in a tight situation I open your book and there I find my resolution to the problem. Keep up the good work and I'll keep buying them. Good Job!

Harvey Tools are of the highest standards in the industry...
Well, I am amazed! We cut a lot of Graphite and NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING holds up like a Harvey CVD Diamond. I was cutting an Electrode that had a .300 drop in the middle of the profile. I tried using 4 different brands of cutter. I spent 3 days and $300.00 worth of Graphite trying to machine this Electrode. The tools were chipping the Graphite, putting feed marks, and breaking the cutters. Then my boss introduced me to Harvey Tool. No more pulling my hair out, no more chewing on my finger nails, no more red faced temper tantrums. I cut this Electrode in two hours and started burning my P20 insert to the highest of tolerances. Harvey Tools are of the highest standards in the industry. I will NEVER use anything BUT! THANK YOU HARVEY AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

The speeds & feeds were perfect...
We bought some plastic cutting end mills from you. They are so nice. The speeds & feeds were perfect. I'm in there 100 inches a minute with the quarter inch end mill. It left zero burrs! Nothing. No melting! I can't tell you how happy our customer was when he saw the finish because we had done a couple with conventional end mills and it was awful. We were trying to deburr the edge... It kind of melted... It was just terrible. But yours was phenomenal. I can't thank you enough for your help.

We love what we’re doing with Harvey...
We love what we’re doing with Harvey! You’re getting better and better and better. Your customer service is getting better and better and better. This is nothing but a compliment and a thank you for all you guys are doing right. We appreciate it out here. We ordered a couple of end mills yesterday – I think it was about 4:30 your time – and your shipping department got the order out. Once again, thank you. We can’t say it enough.
~ DP (February 2011)
The tools last and last and work great...
We are a medium size shop specializing in medical implants and instruments. I’d just like to take a moment to thank you for the great job you all do! We’ve started buying Harvey tooling pretty much exclusively for all of our miniature end mills since last year. The tools last and last and work great. I don’t think we’ve encountered a single bad tool from you guys. Again, thanks for your dedication to quality. Keep up the good work. Sincerely from a guy "out here in the trenches".
~ Kyle
I just had another great test with the miniature variable helix end mills...
The customer was running your competitor’s 5/64” 4 flute endmill @ 10K RPM at 1.5IPM doing a full slot in 303SST. If he pushed it any higher on the feed, the tool would snap. I delivered the variable helix and (despite his resistance) started the tool @ 10K with a feed of 5IPM. The tool ran awesomely! We were able to knock off over two minutes from the cycle, and they have over 1,000 pieces to run. Great success!
~ Jim
Harvey Tool, I simply wanted to thank you...
Hi, Harvey Tool, I simply wanted to thank you. I consistently have great experiences with you guys despite our unreasonable requests. I placed an order last night through my distributor for a variety of micro end mills. It was late in the day, and you had to rush to get them out. Sure enough they arrived this morning. My intent isn't to make unreasonable requests, but I am super busy and don't always know what I'll need until late in the day. Anyway, thanks for being a great vendor. I am happy to be a returning and loyal customer with such great experiences.

I have been starting to purchase your tooling through our distributor. I have also had you do a few custom end mills as well. All the tooling I have received has been performing excellent… Thanks for making a superior tool and keep up the good work.
