i-Form
Custom Indexable Drill / Form System
What if you could utilize complex forms that only seem to be available as brazed or solid carbide tools? Our i-Form custom indexable drill/form tool system allows for complex designs with a replaceable cutting edge. This will reduce setup times and eliminate regrinds, allowing you to increase your productivity and reduce costs. Don't settle for being good when the possibility of being great is right in front of you.

i-Form allows you to design complex forms for any style hole with increased productivity. The i-Form product line - both pilot inserts and form inserts - creates custom engineered forms that provide complex designs with replaceable cutting edges and improved consistency, all while outperforming brazed and solid carbide tooling. i-Form tools will increase your productivity, minimize setup times, and eliminate regrind tool float and inconsistency.
