Same model, different turret: station count, model suffix and build year change the turret interface. Mongtec confirms the interface from the machine model and a turret photo before quoting.

Mongtec also supplies BMT40, BMT60, BMT68 and BMT80 holders and builder-specific interfaces (Mazak, Nakamura-Tome, Haas BOT, Okuma BOT, Muratec BOT) — the 228 article numbers published here are a subset of the range. Mongtec tooling is exported to five continents and supplied to machine-tool builders. Lead time is confirmed per item and quantity at quotation.

Why the model name alone does not settle it

Machine builders routinely ship the same model with more than one turret. These are all published, verified examples:

MachineWhat changesTurret mounting
Hardinge Conquest H51station count12-station = BMT55 · 16-station = BMT45
Okuma GENOS L300model suffixL300 M = VDI40 · L300 MW/MYW = 65×73 bolt pattern

Takisawa TS-3000 / 4000key count2-key and 3-key turrets are not interchangeable

It is the most common reason a driven tool holder arrives and will not bolt on. Reference table: 38 BMT turret bolt patterns by machine builder →

FAQ

Which turret interface does the Hardinge Talent 6/45 use?

Mongtec lists the Hardinge Talent 6/45 under the BMT45 turret interface in its TOOL HOLDER SELECTION GUIDE catalogue (Ver 2026.08). Because the same model can be delivered with different turrets, Mongtec engineering confirms the interface against the actual turret drawing before quoting. That check is free.

Where are the dimensioned drawings?

The catalogue dimensioned drawing is published on the page of each Mongtec article number. After your enquiry Mongtec confirms compatibility with your actual spindle, turret or pull stud and gives the final article number — that check is free.

Can Mongtec supply a special version?

Yes. Special angles, extended reach, high-pressure internal coolant and non-standard mountings are supplied to order. Describe the operation and the machine.

The turret decides, not the model name

Machine builders regularly ship the same model with different turrets — station count, model suffix and the number of keys all change the mounting. The Hardinge Conquest H51 is BMT55 in the 12-station build and BMT45 in the 16-station build; the Okuma GENOS L300 M is VDI40, while the L300 MW/MYW uses a 65×73 mm bolt pattern. This is the single most common reason a driven tool holder arrives and will not bolt on. BMT bolt pattern reference — 38 patterns by machine builder →

Which live tooling fits the Hardinge Talent 6/45?

The turret interface for this machine is confirmed at RFQ, so no article number is published here. These are the driven tool types Mongtec publishes — which one fits is confirmed once the turret is identified.
