Mitee-bite 26088 Machinable Toe Clamp 1/2-13 Steel 2 Pack

Product Description

The MITEE-BITE 26088 is a machinable-style screw mount toe clamp designed for precision workholding on milling machines, machining centers, and similar CNC or manual machine tool setups. Built from steel with a serrated edge surface, this clamp delivers a rated holding force of 12,000 pounds when torqued to 108.3 lb-ft. At 1.5 inches wide and 0.375 inches high, it presents a low-profile body suited for applications where clearance over the workpiece is limited. Each package contains two clamps. This part is installed by machinists and toolroom professionals setting up workholding fixtures for metal cutting operations.

The 26088 is used wherever a machinable toe clamp is needed to secure a workpiece directly to a machine table or fixture plate. The screw mount configuration accepts a 1/2-13 thread fastener. The 0.077-inch extension length and 0.075-inch throw allow the clamp to engage workpieces with minimal movement, making it well suited to close-tolerance fixturing in production and prototype machining environments. The serrated contact surface improves grip on the workpiece edge during heavy cuts.

Key Features

• 12,000 lb rated holding force for secure workpiece clamping under heavy machining loads
• Machinable steel body allows users to machine the clamp face to match specific workpiece profiles
• Serrated edge surface improves grip and reduces slippage at the workpiece contact point
• Low-profile design at 0.375 inches high minimizes interference with cutting tools and spindle travel
• 0.075-inch throw provides precise, repeatable clamp engagement with minimal adjustment
• Package includes 2 clamps, supporting paired or mirrored fixturing setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style screw mount toe clamp for use with standard 1/2-13 threaded fasteners on machine tool fixture plates and T-slot tables in milling and machining center applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians as part of workholding fixture setup. Ensure the machine is fully powered down and all axes are locked before adjusting or replacing clamps on a live fixture. Use a calibrated torque wrench to achieve the specified clamp torque. Verify clamp seating and workpiece contact before initiating any cutting cycle.
