Using Form Tools on Citizen M32 Swiss Machine

[LLH4845]

As we transitioned from screw machines to swiss machines, I find it very difficult to get people to consider using form tools on the swiss. The claim is that they "do not work". I am having a tough time understanding why the machine is not capable of using form tools. What is your experience with his subject/process?

A groove tool is a form tool, a threading tool is a form tool,

I use step drills and form reamers semi regularly, and I do have a few jobs where I use external form tools

Most of the time I can single point a profile faster because I can run higher rpms that a form tool can take, but if there is narrow/steep grooves the form tool will win
