The Benefits of Parlec' s BMT65 Toolholders for Mill Turn Machines

BMT is one of the newest technologies for Mill Turn machines and it is a more rigid solution than more traditional VDI holders. When the tool holder is mounted to the turret, four screws are used to tighten the tool holder, and is further secured with keys that are located on the turret face.

This process eliminates the need for indicating the tool holder to straighten it, which is normal with more traditional VDI tool holders.

The Operator does not need to adjust the straightness for the BMT toolholder.  BMT holders are more rigid, and are often preferred for heavy duty cutting.  With BMT Holders no need to adjust the straightness.

Parlec has been making BMT65 tool holders for one of the largest machine manufacturers in the world for many years. They have the know-how to produce top-quality BMT65 tooling to the most exacting standards.
Parlec BMT65 holders match Haas BMT’s in design, dimensions, and material

Parlec BMT65 tool holders are made from ductile iron as opposed to steel that is used by many other providers.

​The largest machine OEM in the world requires ductile iron as opposed to steel.

Ductile has superior shock absorption to steel – the average damping capacity for ductile iron is 6.6x higher than for SAE 1018 steel

Ductile iron has a higher abrasion resistance due, in large part, to the high % of graphite that acts as a graphite lubricant

Adjustable coolant delivery ports are included on all Parlec BMT65 tool holders.
