Mitee-bite 26085 Screw Mount Toe Clamp 12000 Lb Smooth Steel

Product Description

The MITEE-BITE 26085 is a standard-style screw mount toe clamp designed for workholding applications on CNC machines, milling fixtures, and machining centers. Machined from steel with a smooth edge surface, this clamp develops 12,000 pounds of holding force when torqued to 1,300 inch-pounds (108.33 foot-pounds). At 1.5 inches wide and 0.375 inches high, it sits low-profile against the workpiece and delivers 0.077 inches of extension length with a 0.075-inch throw. Each package contains two clamps, making it practical for symmetrical fixturing setups. This part is installed by machinists and tooling technicians in precision manufacturing environments.

The 26085 is suited for applications requiring secure, repeatable clamping at the workpiece edge in production and prototype machining. The 1/2-13 screw thread is a common standard that works with widely available T-slot hardware and fixture plates. The standard clamp style and smooth contact surface make it appropriate for clamping finished or semi-finished part edges without marring. This clamp is typical for use in horizontal and vertical milling setups where low-profile clamping is required and clearance for cutting tools is limited.

Key Features

• 12,000 Lb holding force for secure workholding under heavy cutting loads
• 1/2-13 screw thread for compatibility with standard T-slot fixture hardware
• 0.075-inch throw provides positive, controlled clamp engagement at the workpiece edge
• Low-profile design at 0.375 inches high reduces interference with toolpaths
• Smooth edge surface type protects finished workpiece surfaces during clamping
• Package includes two clamps for balanced fixturing configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment for screw mount toe clamp applications using 1/2-13 threaded T-slot hardware on machining fixture plates and tombstones.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tooling technicians using standard T-slot bolts and a torque wrench calibrated in inch-pounds or foot-pounds. The machine spindle and all axis drives must be powered down and motion disabled before adjusting or repositioning clamps on an active fixture. Do not exceed the rated torque value specified for the 1/2-13 screw thread. Confirm clamp seating and throw engagement before initiating any cutting operation.
