    Sometimes parts have lots of features that need several form tools. Often many of the forms & other operations can be designed into one tool. This part would need 7 tools to achieve the finished profile. I've combined all the requirements into one tool & noted the references from the common datum so I can run on a manual lathe or on a CNC lathe without a toolchanger.
