M.T. S.r.l (Marchetti) is a family owned business founded in 1972 and headquartered in Rimini, Italy. Marchetti is a world leader of innovative design and production of driven and static tool holders for CNC turning centers.

Originally a specialist contract manufacture of finished mechanical parts, Marchetti started producing driven and static tooling for CNC lathes in the 1990s. In addition to its extensive tooling ranges Marchetti also manufactures high precision special purpose driven tooling made to customer specifications.

Exclusive North American Supplier for M.T. Marchetti

  • With over 2500 standard products, the company is able to meet the most demanding needs of its customers, offering customized solutions on request.

    Respected for products like multi-spindle tools, Y-axis live and static tools, multi-position static tool holders, sliding steady-rests and MTSK quick change systems.

    Tool holders with as many as 8 live ER25 spindles in one tool means you can have 4 tools facing the main spindle and 4 tools facing the sub spindle in one turret station.

    Y axis static holders save time and money with a holder that will hold 4 static tools in one turret station. You can rough turn and then finish turn on the main and the sub spindles without ever indexing the turret.

    Fewer turret indexes save cycle time, as well as wear and tear on your turret.

    Geared up holders to 60,000 RPM and 1,000 PSI coolant through.

  • All of the tooling available have been designed to give years of service in the most demanding applications. It is not uncommon for MD Tooling’s tool holders to last four or five years. Given the longevity of our tool holders we are able to back them with a 2-year factory warranty. MD Tooling will repair or replace any defective tool holders for a period of 2 years from the date of purchase.

  • M.T. Marchetti follows the stringent quality and inspection procedures which include:

    Verification of material type and traceability.

    Heat treatment certification.

    100% inspection of critical components.

    Ceramic coating of all central shafts for extended life.

    Utilization of seals to withstand 70 bar pressure on coolant through driven tools.

    Finite measurement of roundness and concentricity of all central shafts guaranteeing a 4 micron maximum run-out of the finished tool.

    Integration of super precision bearings for use on all driven tooling.

    Final inspection and test of every driven and static tool.

    Individual serial numbers / code references laser etched on the side of every driven and static tool to identify the manufacturing and dispatch date.

  • Innovative tool design is a key reason we are the fastest growing manufacturer of live tooling. The Research and Development Department at M.T. Marchetti are constantly evaluating the processes of today’s manufacturers to develop new and innovative solutions. Recent developments include an MTSK Quick Change Removal System which has a quick change clamping nut so the modular tool adapters can be easily ejected.

    Products such as our adjustable angle gear cutting or hobbing holder for your turning center are truly on the forefront of turning technology. The Gear Hobber allows you to hob spur gears, bevel gears, helical gears and spline shafts in your turning center along with your turning process. As innovative thinkers, we see no need to stop at just the standard radial and axial line up of tool holders. We embrace the innovative process that has made US manufacturing a world leader and continue to develop unique live tooling to help our customers save time and money.
