Mitee-bite 26040 Brass Toe Clamp 400 Lb 8-32 Thread 8-pack

Product Description

The MITEE-BITE 26040 is a standard-style screw mount toe clamp manufactured from brass, designed for workholding applications on milling machines, machining centers, and fixture plates. Each clamp delivers 400 pounds of holding force when torqued to 25 inch-pounds (2.01 foot-pounds), making it suitable for securing workpieces during light to moderate cutting operations. The clamp body measures 0.5 inches wide and 0.1 inches high, with a throw of 0.016 inches and an extension length of 0.3438 inches. The 8-32 screw thread mount allows precise engagement with T-slot table hardware or fixture plates. Eight clamps are included per package.

These toe clamps are used in machine shop environments for low-profile workholding where conventional strap clamps cannot clear the workpiece or cutting tool path. The smooth edge surface type protects finished or soft workpiece edges from marring during fixturing. The compact 0.1-inch clamp height makes them well suited for thin or flat workpieces where vertical clearance is limited. Machinists, toolmakers, and CNC setup technicians are the primary installers in production and job-shop settings.

Key Features

• 400 pounds holding force per clamp for reliable fixturing under cutting loads
• Low-profile design at 0.1 inches high clears tools and workpieces with minimal vertical space
• Smooth brass edge surface prevents marring on finished or soft workpiece faces
• 0.016-inch throw provides controlled, incremental clamping action
• 8-32 screw thread compatible with standard T-slot and fixture plate hardware
• Package includes 8 clamps for multi-point fixturing setups

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard T-slot machine tables, fixture plates, and tooling plates that accept 8-32 screw thread fasteners. Consult machine table specifications to confirm T-slot dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolmakers during machine setup. Power down and lock out the machine before positioning or adjusting clamps on the table. Use a calibrated torque wrench to reach the specified 25 inch-pound torque value to avoid under- or over-clamping. Inspect clamp seating and workpiece contact before initiating any cutting operation.
