Jeff Rauseo, Senior Marketing Specialist – Strategic Partnerships & Applications, Harvey Performance Company, comments, “Mastercam’s industry-leading CAM software has been a long-standing, highly regarded leader in the industry by our end users for many years, so we are excited to partner with them to make these new tool libraries available. Additionally, the relationship with Helical and Harvey will allow us to stay up-to-date with their tool library, giving our customers the best chance at staying competitive from design to part.” “We look forward to working with them to get their whole library up and running on our Tech Exchange, as they have some specialty form tools that will be great for our customers. “We partnered with Helical and Harvey Tool because their tools are well respected in the manufacturing industry and are of very good quality,” says Rich Taft, Product Owner, CNC Software, Inc. The balance of the Harvey Tool and Helical Solutions tool libraries, which will include Harvey Tool’s Specialty Profile cutting tools, Holemaking and Threading tools, and Helical Solutions’ chamfer mills, are under construction and will be released soon.

Users that take advantage of this feature can program confidently due to accurate tool dimensions and tool data optimized in partnership with Harvey Tool and Helical Solutions specifically for Mastercam.

Now, Mastercam users can download the Harvey Tool and Helical Solutions tool libraries to have those tool immediately available in Mastercam. Without these libraries, machinists would need to look up a tool in a manufacturer’s catalog and manually build the tool in Mastercam. Importing accurate tool libraries vetted by both Mastercam and manufacturers directly into the software saves the machinist valuable time. Readily available, comprehensive tool libraries translate into increased productivity for Mastercam users. These libraries, optimized for all supported Mastercam versions, contain all the end mill options that can be found in Harvey Tool and Helical Solutions most recent catalogs, totaling to more than 15,000 tools now available for Mastercam users to import.

You would then start a new file, import the standard list, then add special tools from other libraries as required. You could also benefit from developing a 'standard' tool library for each machine which consists of your most common tools that can always be used in the same tool # slot. Personally I cut mostly annealed tool steel or prehard tool steel so I don't worry about setting up the material calculations. This would be the best option if you work on many different materials. When I use tooling from the library the speed and feed is automatically set.Īlternatively, Mastercam can set the speed/feed based upon your current workpiece material. I have my libraries set up with the desired speed/feed. There are different ways to use the libraries also. Often times though many people are reluctant to give away files that they themselves spent many days customizing.

Really you'll probably want to customize your libraries for the type of materials you normally deal with. If you wanted more than that you could probably get somebody to share their library with you.
