Mitee-bite 10504 Symmetrical Hex Clamp 1/8 in Mild Steel 4-pack

Product Description

The MITEE-BITE 10504 is a symmetrical machinable hex clamp designed for precision workholding in machining and fixture applications. Built from mild steel, this clamp installs into a hex pocket and uses a 1/4-20 stud thread to generate up to 800 lb of holding force against a workpiece. The hex measures 1/8 inch across, with a hex height of 0.25 inches and an overall height of 0.73 inches. A thread length of 0.4688 inches and a recommended torque of 6.2 ft/lb allow machinists to dial in consistent clamping pressure. Each package contains 4 clamps. This part is typically installed by machinists and toolmakers building custom fixtures or production workholding setups.

The MITEE-BITE 10504 is suited for use in milling fixtures, modular workholding plates, and custom jig builds where low-profile hex clamps are required. The symmetrical hex geometry allows the clamp to seat evenly and engage a workpiece on opposing flats. The machinable hex clamp style means the top surface can be faced or contoured to match the profile of the part being held, making it a practical choice for production runs requiring repeatable part location and secure clamping without above-table obstruction.

Key Features

• 800 lb holding force for secure workpiece retention in milling and fixture applications
• Symmetrical hex geometry provides even seating and balanced clamping engagement
• Machinable hex clamp style allows top surface to be faced or contoured to match workpiece profile
• 1/4-20 stud thread with 0.4688-inch thread length for standard fixture plate compatibility
• Mild steel construction on both hex head and stud for durability in shop environments
• Pack of 4 clamps supports multi-station fixture builds from a single order

Compatibility

Designed for use in fixture plates and modular workholding systems that accept 1/4-20 threaded studs and standard hex pocket clamp configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolmakers using standard hex and torque wrenches. Ensure the fixture plate or receiver is properly secured and the hex pocket is clean and free of chips before seating the clamp. Apply torque to the 1/4-20 stud to the recommended 6.2 ft/lb specification using a calibrated torque wrench. Do not exceed the rated torque, as over-tightening can deform the mild steel stud or damage the hex pocket in softer fixture materials.
