Swiss-Type Toolholders for Tsugami, Star & Citizen

Mongtec publishes 27 Swiss-type toolholders built to Tsugami, Star and Citizen reference codes — axial, radial, multi-spindle, static drilling and sleeves. Mongtec Precision is a Taiwanese brand headquartered in Taichung, Taiwan.

Why Swiss-type tooling is quoted by machine code, not by BMT or VDI size

A Swiss-type (sliding headstock) lathe does not have a rotating turret. Its tools sit in fixed positions on a gang or comb layout, and each position — body form, mounting face, drive coupling — is defined by the machine builder. There is no industry size standard to quote, so a Swiss-type holder is identified by the builder's own reference code.

That makes the code the fastest way to specify a part: take the reference from your machine's tooling list, find it below, and Mongtec engineering matches it to the equivalent Mongtec holder and confirms the fit against your actual machine before quoting.

Check the machine generation, not just the code. Builders revise holder positions between machine generations and between models in the same family. Send your machine model and the station you want to use along with the code — that check is free and takes one email.

Tsugami — 12 models

Star — 10 models

Citizen — 5 models

Tsugami, Star and Citizen are registered trademarks of their respective owners. Mongtec Precision is an independent tooling brand with no affiliation to, endorsement by or licence from any of them. Reference codes are quoted only to identify which holder position and machine each Mongtec part is built for; fit is confirmed by Mongtec engineering at RFQ.

Frequently asked

Does Mongtec make Swiss-type tooling for other machine brands?

The codes published above are the current catalogue range. Mongtec also supplies Swiss-type holders to customer drawing — send the holder drawing or the machine's tooling list and engineering will quote against it.

Are these direct replacements for the original parts?

Each Mongtec model is designed for the same holder position as the machine builder's part. Mongtec is an independent tooling brand and is not affiliated with any machine builder; interchange in your specific machine and setup is confirmed at RFQ.

Turret tooling mounts on a rotating turret to an industry interface such as BMT or VDI, so one holder fits many machines of the same interface size. Swiss-type tooling mounts in a fixed machine-specific position, so it is specified per machine. Mongtec publishes both — see driven tool holders by turret interface for the turret range.
