Summary: Creating specific shapes in one operation.

Form tools are cutting tools designed to produce a specific, complex shape on a workpiece in a single pass. Unlike tools that remove material gradually to create a shape, form tools are ground to the exact profile of the desired finished part. This allows for efficient and accurate production of identical parts, particularly on lathes or other turning machines. While they are highly efficient for mass production, form tools are often more expensive and complex to manufacture compared to standard cutting tools.
