HSK-T turning tools

HSK-T (DIN 69893-6) is the HSK form made for turning — it goes into the spindle of a mill-turn centre or a multi-axis lathe and takes the cutting load of a turning operation, not a milling one. Mongtec builds three things on it: boring bar holders, square-shank tool blocks, and integral ISO turning tools that bolt straight onto the taper with no adapter in between.

What is built on HSK-T

Boring bar holderHSK40T to HSK100T, bores 6 to 50 mm
Turning tool blockSquare shank, for facing, external, cut-off and combined operations
Integral ISO turning tool38 designations built directly on the HSK-T taper — one fewer joint in the loop

ISO 5608 designation

The tool designation follows ISO 5608, so the code itself tells you the geometry. Mongtec covers 38 designations from DCLNR through SVQCL. These four positions are what most people need at the machine:

Clamping system (1st letter)

CTop clamp
DTop clamp, insert with centre hole
MPin and top clamp
PPin with wedge or lever
SScrew

Insert shape (2nd letter)

C80°
D55°

These designations also have a full ISO 5608 breakdown page on this site:

Very few makers outside Japan and Europe cover HSK-T turning. If the designation you run is not in the list above, ask — the range is wider than what is shown here and specials are normal for this interface.

Body diameters (D, D1), gauge lengths (L2, L1) and the set-screw thread (G) are in the printed catalogue and are supplied with the quotation.
