Mitee-bite 26220 Compact Modular Serrated Steel Toe Clamp

Product Description

The MITEE-BITE 26220 is a compact modular screw mount toe clamp designed for workholding applications on CNC machines, milling fixtures, and machining centers. Machined from steel with a serrated edge surface, this clamp delivers 3,600 pounds of holding force when torqued to 14.5 foot-pounds. The 0.024-inch throw allows precise lateral engagement against a workpiece edge without excessive stock removal or fixture interference. At 0.98 inches tall and 1.23 inches wide, it fits low-profile fixture setups where clearance is limited. Licensed machinists and toolroom technicians install these as part of modular fixturing systems for production and prototype work.

The 26220 is suited for horizontal and vertical machining center fixtures, tombstone setups, and custom modular workholding plates. The 1/4-20 screw thread is a common pitch found on standard T-slot and grid-plate systems. The compact footprint makes it practical in high-density fixture layouts where multiple clamps must share limited surface area. It is commonly used in job shops, aerospace, and general metalworking environments where repeatable clamping force and low clamp profile are required.

Key Features

• 3,600 pounds holding force at 14.5 foot-pounds torque
• Serrated edge surface improves grip and reduces workpiece slip
• 0.024-inch throw for tight lateral engagement against part edge
• Compact modular style fits low-clearance fixture configurations
• Steel construction for rigidity and durability in machining environments
• 1/4-20 screw thread compatible with common modular fixturing systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with modular fixturing systems that accept 1/4-20 screw thread toe clamps. Consult your fixture plate or T-slot system specifications to confirm thread pitch and grid spacing before installation.

Installation Notes

Toe clamps of this type are installed by toolmakers and setup machinists as part of a workholding fixture. Ensure the machine is powered down and the spindle is at rest before adjusting or replacing clamps on a live fixture. Use a calibrated torque wrench to reach the rated 14.5 foot-pound installation torque without overdriving the screw. Inspect the serrated face and clamp body for wear or deformation before each use.
