Synchronous forming reduces the cumulative error caused by multiple tool passes, helps to improve the dimensional accuracy and consistency of the product. Synchronous forming helps to obtain a more uniform surface quality and reduces surface scratches or unevenness that may be caused by multiple tool passes.

[0031] Further, as a preferred embodiment of this solution rather than a limitation, the tool shank 1 is cylindrical, which is convenient for machine tool clamping and prevents offset and dislocation during processing.

[0032] Further, as a preferred embodiment of this solution rather than a limitation, the milling and forming portion 2 includes a first milling portion 21 near the tool shank 1 for milling the first part of the outer edge of the golf club head.

The third milling portion 23 provides sufficient cutting force to mill the product contour, reducing the cutting force required when the first milling portion 21 and the second milling portion 22 are milling. In the machining of golf club heads, this forming tool can be used to synchronously mill the outer edge portion of the golf club head. Each milling portion is responsible for its respective outer edge portion, and the entire forming of the golf club head can be completed more efficiently. By synchronous milling, the processing efficiency is improved, the cutting force is reduced, and the machining program is simplified.

[0033] Further, as a preferred embodiment of this solution rather than a limitation, a chamfer 210 matching the transition connecting edge between the upper side and the middle part of the outer edge of the golf club head is provided between the first milling portion 21 and the second milling portion 22. By providing a transitional connection between the two milling portions, the continuity and consistency of the machining surface can be ensured, which helps to obtain a higher-quality surface finish and reduce the traces remaining on the surface.

[0034] Further, as a preferred embodiment of this solution rather than a limitation, a first curved surface 220 matching the middle and lower sides of the outer edge of the golf club head is provided between the second milling portion 22 and the third milling portion 23 for transitional connection.
