Every code is built the same way, so once you can read one you can read all of them:
| Block | Example | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | PSC50 | Polygon shank coupling size per ISO 26623 — here equivalent to coupling size C5 and to PSK C5 |
| 2 | DCLNR | ISO 5608 tool style: clamping system, insert shape, approach angle, insert clearance angle, cutting direction |
| 3 | 35060 | Functional cross-section and functional length in millimetres (35 mm × 60 mm) |
| 4 | 12 | ISO insert size |

Mongtec publishes 357 PSC turning tool body article numbers across 50 ISO 5608 tool styles, split into 42 external turning styles and 8 internal turning / boring bar styles, in coupling sizes PSC32 through PSC100.
PSC50 is the polygon shank coupling size per ISO 26623, equivalent to coupling size C5. DCLNR is the ISO 5608 tool style: D is the clamping system, C is the insert shape (80 degree rhombic), L gives a 95 degree approach angle, N is the insert clearance angle (0 degrees, negative insert) and R makes it right hand. 35060 is the functional cross-section and length in millimetres, and 12 is the ISO insert size.
PSC is the polygon shank coupling standardised in ISO 26623 and is an open standard that any manufacturer may build to. The sizes correspond dimensionally to coupling sizes C3, C4, C5, C6, C8 and C10 and to the German PSK designation. Mongtec Precision is an independent tooling brand and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or a licensee of Sandvik Coromant.
No. Mongtec supplies the full dimensioned drawing by email once an enquiry is open, so the drawing matches your actual machine and coupling.
