BMT Broaching Driven Tool Holders | Mongtec

Keyways, hexagons and internal forms broached in the turning cycle. Published for BMT40, BMT45, BMT55, BMT65. Mongtec Precision is a Taiwanese brand headquartered in Taichung, Taiwan.

What it does

A broaching holder converts turret rotation into a reciprocating stroke, so a keyway, hexagon, square or splined form is cut on the lathe rather than sent out to a broaching machine or a slotter. 35 mm stroke, geared 1:1 and run slow at 1,000 rpm — broaching is a low-speed, high-force operation and the rating reflects that.

The broach tool comes two ways. Standard catalogue tooling covers the common forms — round keyways 2 to 25 mm and 3/32" to 3/4" in P9, H7, D10 and C11, squares 8 to 50 mm and hexagons 9 to 70 mm — ordered as insert holders and inserts by code. Anything outside that is made to your workpiece. Either way, send the form, size, depth and material: Mongtec confirms with the engineering team which route applies, then quotes. That check is free.

When you need one

Looking for the broaching unit itself, the holders and the inserts? Mongtec publishes four unit sizes (25, 35, 50 and 65 mm slide travel) with a full insert-holder and insert programme — round keyways 2 to 25 mm in P9, H7, D10 and C11, squares 8 to 50 mm and hexagons 9 to 70 mm.

The article number comes from the drawing, not the label. BMT is an industry de-facto standard — it is not published by ISO or DIN — so bolt circle, key position and drive coupling can differ between machine builders at the same nominal size. Send the machine model and a photograph of the turret face; Mongtec engineering checks it against the actual turret drawing before quoting. That check is free and takes one email.

Custom builds

Mongtec supplies this family to order as well as to catalogue. Special angles, extended reach, high-pressure internal coolant, non-standard collet or arbor mountings and machine-specific bolt patterns are all within scope. If what you need is not a catalogue item, describe the operation and the machine — that is usually enough for engineering to say whether it can be supplied and roughly what it involves.

Frequently asked

What sizes is this family available in?

Published for BMT40, BMT45, BMT55, BMT65. The article number for your machine is confirmed against the actual turret drawing at RFQ.

Can it be supplied as a special?

Yes. Special angles, extended reach, high-pressure internal coolant and non-standard collet or arbor mountings are supplied to order. Describe the operation and the machine and engineering will say what is possible.

Is the broach tool a catalogue item or a special?

Both exist. The common forms — round keyways, squares and hexagons — are catalogue insert holders and inserts. Non-standard forms are made to your workpiece. Send the form, size, depth and material and Mongtec confirms with the team which applies before quoting.

Will it fit my turret?

BMT is an industry de-facto standard, not published by ISO or DIN, so the same nominal size can differ between machine builders. Send the machine model and a photograph of the turret face; the check against the actual drawing is free.

Are dimensioned drawings published here?

No. Mongtec supplies the full dimensioned drawing by email once an enquiry is open, matched to your machine and turret configuration.
