Mongtec Precision, a Taiwanese tooling brand headquartered in Taichung, Taiwan, supplies BMT and VDI (DIN 69880) driven and static tool holders. Tsugami builds Swiss-type sliding-head automatic lathes (B, BS, SS, BE series) and precision turret turning centers (M, TMA series); Mongtec's BMT/VDI holders apply to the turret machines. Pick your machine below, or contact engineering — the exact interface for a given model is confirmed at RFQ.

Interface data is drawn from publicly available Tsugami machine specifications and tooling application listings. Mongtec's BMT and VDI holders apply to Tsugami turret turning centers; the Swiss-type sliding-head machines use a machine-specific gang interface confirmed at RFQ. Mongtec supplies open-standard BMT and VDI interfaces; it does not supply or claim compatibility with proprietary quick-change systems such as WTO QuickFlex®.

Additional Tsugami models covered
Mongtec supplies driven and static tooling across the Tsugami range. For the M / TMA / S turret machines these are BMT and VDI holders; for the Swiss-type sliding-head machines the tooling is gang/sliding-head and machine-specific, with the exact tool-station interface confirmed at RFQ. Model data is drawn from publicly available Tsugami specifications.
Mongtec Swiss-type toolholders for Tsugami sliding-headstock lathes
Holders published in the Mongtec Swiss Type Toolholders, Ver 2026.07 catalogue for Tsugami sliding-headstock (Swiss-type) lathes. Mongtec lists these against the Tsugami machine-builder reference code, because a Swiss-type holder position is machine-specific and has no BMT or VDI size to quote.

Frequently asked questions
Does Mongtec make tooling for my Tsugami machine?
Tsugami builds Swiss-type sliding-head lathes (B, BS, SS Swiss and M / TMA turret). Their driven tools mount on a gang / Swiss interface rather than a BMT or VDI turret, so tooling is machine-specific — send the model and we confirm what can be supplied at RFQ. For any turret-type turning centers in the range, Mongtec supplies BMT and VDI holders.
What is the difference between a Swiss-type and a turret lathe for tooling?
A turret lathe indexes tools on a BMT or VDI turret disc; a Swiss-type (sliding-head) machine holds tools on a fixed gang with sliding-headstock motion. Mongtec supplies BMT and VDI turret holders; Swiss gang tooling uses a different, machine-specific interface confirmed at RFQ.
My exact Tsugami model isn't listed — can you still help?
Send the model name and configuration via the contact page and engineering will confirm what Mongtec can supply for that interface.
What does 'confirmed at RFQ' mean?
It means the exact interface is verified against your specific machine before quotation.
What precision and documentation do the holders ship with?
Driven holders are built to 0.003 mm runout or better.
Figures below are Mongtec's own published line specifications (mongtec-tools.com, accessed 2026-07-20). They describe the capability range of the product line; the rating of a specific unit for a specific machine is confirmed by Mongtec engineering at RFQ.
Turret interfaces supplied
BMT (face-and-taper), VDI polygonal shank to DIN 69880, and PSC polygon shank coupling to ISO 26623
Driven tool speed
6,000–12,000 rpm standard; up to 32,000 rpm with speed increaser
Max torque
Up to 160 Nm (line capability; unit rating confirmed at RFQ)
Coolant
Internal / external, up to 100 bar
Runout
≤0.003 mm published for the Mazak-compatible 0° driven tool line; other families confirmed at RFQ
No blanket published figure — quoted per order after interface, quantity and customisation are reviewed
On turret standards: VDI is codified in DIN 69880 and the PSC polygon shank coupling in ISO 26623. BMT (Base Mounted Turret) is a widely adopted de facto industry interface but is not published by ISO or DIN — two turrets both labelled “BMT65” can differ in detail between machine builders. Mongtec therefore verifies the actual turret dimensions of the stated machine before confirming fitment.
What to send for a quote
