Mitee-bite 10230R Workholding Wax Compound 300 Psi 5-pack

Product Description

The MITEE-BITE 10230R is a wax-form workholding compound designed to secure workpieces during machining operations. It provides a holding force of 300 psi, making it suitable for light-duty fixturing where mechanical clamps or vises are impractical or would obstruct toolpaths. The compound is applied in molten form, allowed to solidify, and then removed by reheating or with solvents after the operation is complete. Each package contains 5 units. Machinists and toolroom technicians use this product when conventional workholding interferes with multi-sided access or delicate part geometries.

This wax compound is used in precision machining environments including CNC milling, grinding, and inspection fixturing. It is well suited for holding thin, irregular, or fragile workpieces that cannot tolerate the clamping forces of traditional vises or fixtures. The 300 psi holding force is appropriate for light finishing passes and inspection setups where minimal lateral load is applied. The wax form allows for clean release and residue removal without damaging part surfaces.

Key Features

• 300 psi holding force suitable for light-duty machining and inspection fixturing
• Wax form allows controlled application and clean removal after use
• Ideal for irregular, thin, or delicate workpieces incompatible with mechanical clamping
• Eliminates fixture obstruction on multi-sided or complex geometries
• Packaged in a quantity of 5 units per order

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose workholding solution for use on machining centers, surface grinders, and inspection fixtures where low-profile or non-mechanical workholding is required.

Installation Notes

Application is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. The wax compound should be applied per the manufacturer instructions, typically by melting onto a clean, degreased surface and allowing it to fully solidify before applying cutting loads. Ensure workpiece and fixture surfaces are free of oil, coolant, and debris before application to achieve rated holding force. Do not exceed the 300 psi holding force rating during machining operations.
