What M3426 does on the machine

The driven spindle points along the Z axis, parallel to the lathe spindle. This is the configuration for face drilling, face tapping and end milling on the part face.

Round body — a slimmer envelope that clears tight turret pockets and neighbouring stations.

Gear ratio 1:1 — tool spindle speed equals turret drive speed. The direct relationship makes speeds and feeds straightforward to calculate from the machine's live-tool rating.

Do not order against the label alone. “VDI40” fixes the shank per DIN 69880, but pocket depth, clamping system and drive coupling still vary between machine builders. Send Mongtec your machine model and a photograph of the turret face — engineering checks M3426 against the actual turret drawing before anything is quoted. That check is free and takes one email.

Machines with a VDI40 turret

Mongtec publishes tooling pages for these machines with a declared VDI40 turret. Confirming your model here does not confirm M3426 as the article number — that still comes from engineering.

Frequently asked

What machines does the Mongtec M3426 fit?

M3426 is built for the VDI40 turret interface. Because VDI shank dimensions follow DIN 69880, but turret pocket depth, clamping system and drive coupling still vary between machine builders. Send Mongtec your machine model and a photo of the turret face and engineering confirms the fit before anything is quoted.

What speed and torque can M3426 run?

M3426 is rated to 5,000 rpm with 50 Nm of torque at a 1:1 drive ratio. The usable figure is whichever is lower: this rating or your machine's live-tool drive rating.

What collet does M3426 take?

M3426 takes ER32 collets. Collets and nuts are supplied separately; specify the shank diameters you intend to run and Mongtec quotes the collet set with the holder.

Is a dimensioned drawing available for M3426?

Yes. Mongtec supplies the full dimensioned drawing for M3426 by email once an enquiry is open, so the drawing is matched to your actual machine and turret configuration rather than a generic sheet.

Get M3426 quoted

Send the machine model, the turret station you want to use and the tools you intend to run. Anything you do not know, Mongtec works out from the machine model — an incomplete enquiry is still worth sending. Dimensioned drawings for M3426 are supplied by email once the enquiry is open.
