Mitee-bite 10208 Symmetrical Hex Clamp 1 in Brass 8 Pack

Product Description

The MITEE-BITE 10208 is a symmetrical hex clamp designed for precision workholding in machining and fixturing applications. The clamp uses a 1-inch brass hex head paired with a hardened steel stud threaded at 1/2-13. When torqued to 65 ft/lb, the assembly generates 4,000 lb of holding force, making it suitable for demanding milling, drilling, and boring setups. The brass hex head measures 0.375 inches in height, and the stud thread length runs 0.906 inches. Each package contains 8 clamps. The symmetrical hex design allows the clamp to be seated from either side, reducing setup time on tombstone fixtures and palletized workholding systems.

The 10208 is used in CNC machining centers, manual mills, and production fixturing wherever a low-profile hex clamp is needed to secure workpieces against a table or fixture plate. The 1/2-13 stud thread is a common imperial size compatible with standard T-slots and fixture plates found in most machine shops. Installation is typically performed by machinists and tool-and-die tradespeople during fixture builds or production setup. The brass hex head provides corrosion resistance and reduces the risk of galling against steel fixture surfaces.

Key Features

• 4,000 lb holding force at 65 ft/lb torque
• 1-inch symmetrical brass hex head for bidirectional seating
• Hardened steel stud for durability under repeated clamping cycles
• 1/2-13 stud thread fits standard imperial T-slot fixture plates
• Hex height of 0.375 inches keeps a low profile over the workpiece
• Package includes 8 clamps for multi-point fixturing setups

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit symmetrical hex clamp for use with standard 1/2-13 imperial T-slot fixture plates and tombstone workholding systems in CNC and manual machining environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists during fixture setup. Torque the hardened steel stud to 65 ft/lb using a calibrated torque wrench to achieve the rated 4,000 lb holding force. Ensure the fixture plate or T-slot is clean and free of chips before seating the clamp. Do not exceed the rated torque value, as over-torquing can damage the brass hex head or the fixture plate threads.
