Mitee-bite 26230 Compact Modular Toe Clamp Serrated Steel

Product Description

The MITEE-BITE 26230 is a compact modular toe clamp designed for workholding applications in machining and fixture setups. Built from steel with a serrated edge surface, it delivers 6,000 pounds of holding force with a 3/8-16 mounting screw torqued to 30 foot-pounds. The clamp measures 1.48 inches wide, 2.70 inches long, and 1.24 inches in height, with a throw of 0.05 inches. Its low-profile, compact modular design makes it well suited for use in tight fixture layouts where space is limited. Machinists and toolroom professionals are the primary installers of this type of workholding component.

This toe clamp is used in CNC machining centers, milling fixtures, and modular workholding systems where consistent, repeatable clamping force is required. The serrated edge surface bites into the workpiece to resist lateral movement during cutting operations. Its compact modular style integrates cleanly into grid-pattern fixture plates and modular vise setups. It is appropriate for both production runs and low-volume precision work where part registration and holding stability are critical.

Key Features

• 6,000 pounds holding force for secure workpiece retention
• Serrated edge surface resists lateral slip under cutting loads
• Compact modular style fits tight fixture layouts
• 3/8-16 mounting screw with 30 foot-pound torque specification
• 0.05-inch throw for precise clamping engagement
• Steel construction for durability in machine shop environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard component for compact modular workholding fixture systems that accept 3/8-16 screw-mount toe clamps.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians setting up workholding fixtures on milling machines or machining centers. Ensure the fixture plate and mounting surface are clean and free of chips before seating the clamp. Torque the 3/8-16 mounting screw to the specified 30 foot-pounds using a calibrated torque wrench. Never exceed the rated torque, as over-torquing can damage the clamp body or fixture plate threads.
