Mitee-bite 10230B Workholding Wax Compound 400 Psi

Product Description

The MITEE-BITE 10230B is a wax-based workholding compound used to secure workpieces during precision machining operations. It bonds parts to fixtures, chucks, or surface plates without clamps or vises, keeping the workpiece stable while maintaining full access to the part surface. With a holding force rated at 400 psi, this compound provides reliable grip for light to medium machining loads. It is sold in a pack of 5 units and is used by machinists, toolmakers, and CNC operators working in job shops, production environments, and prototype facilities.

This wax compound suits applications where conventional mechanical workholding would obstruct tool paths or distort thin-walled, delicate, or irregularly shaped parts. It is commonly applied in milling, grinding, and turning operations where the workpiece must be held flat and secure without introducing clamping stress. The wax form allows controlled application and clean removal after machining is complete.

Key Features

• 400 psi holding force provides stable grip for light to medium machining loads
• Wax form enables precise, repeatable application to fixtures and surface plates
• Clamp-free workholding keeps all part surfaces accessible during machining
• Suitable for thin-walled, delicate, or irregularly shaped workpieces
• Pack of 5 units for shop stocking and recurring use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose wax workholding compound compatible with standard machining fixtures, surface plates, and tooling setups where adhesive-style workholding is required.

Installation Notes

Application and removal of workholding wax compounds is typically performed by machinists or toolmakers. Ensure the workpiece and fixture surfaces are clean and dry before applying the compound to achieve full rated holding force. Follow the compound manufacturer guidance for heat application and release procedures. Do not exceed the rated holding force for the bond area in use.
