Mitee-bite 22918 Aluminum Fixture Plate 18x9 in

Product Description

The MITEE-BITE 22918 is an aluminum fixture plate designed for use in precision workholding and machining setups. It provides a rigid, flat mounting surface for securing workpieces or tooling during milling, drilling, and other CNC or manual machining operations. The plate measures 18 inches long by 9 inches wide with an overall height of 1.48 inches and a plate thickness of 0.5 inches. The aluminum construction keeps weight manageable while delivering the stiffness required for repeatable fixturing. Machinists and tooling specialists are the primary installers and users of this plate in production and job-shop environments.

This fixture plate suits horizontal and vertical machining center setups where a standardized flat plate is needed to mount clamps, vises, or custom tooling. It is appropriate for both prototype and production workholding applications. The plate is sold individually and works in shop environments where a reliable, dimensionally consistent aluminum plate is required to reduce setup time and maintain part location accuracy across multiple operations.

Key Features

• Aluminum construction provides a lightweight yet rigid workholding surface
• 18 inches length and 9 inches width offer a generous mounting footprint for a variety of fixtures
• 0.5 inch plate thickness supports stable clamping force without flex
• Overall height of 1.48 inches suits standard machine table clearance envelopes

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aluminum fixture plate for use with standard workholding systems in CNC and manual machining applications. Verify table and tombstone mounting configurations before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or tooling engineer. Ensure the machine table or sub-plate is clean and free of chips before seating the fixture plate. Secure the plate using appropriate T-slot hardware or mounting bolts rated for the clamping forces involved. Follow your facility safety procedures and machine manufacturer guidelines when mounting workholding components.
