Mitee-bite 26240 Slotted Modular Toe Clamp 3600 Lb Steel

Product Description

The MITEE-BITE 26240 is a slotted modular toe clamp designed for precision workholding in machining and fixturing applications. Constructed from steel with a serrated edge surface, it mounts via a 1/4-20 screw thread and delivers 3,600 pounds of holding force at 14.5 foot-pounds of torque. The clamp measures 1-1/4 inches wide, 4.08 inches long, and 0.99 inches thick, with an extension length of 0.73 inches and a throw of 0.024 inches. Machinists and tooling technicians install this clamp in modular fixturing setups where repeatable, high-force clamping is required against a workpiece edge.

This toe clamp is suited for use on modular fixturing plates, T-slot tables, and precision machining setups in both production and job-shop environments. The slotted mounting configuration allows lateral adjustment along the fixture plate, making it adaptable to varying workpiece sizes without retooling. The serrated contact edge grips the workpiece securely under heavy cutting loads, reducing the risk of slip during milling, drilling, or grinding operations. It is commonly installed by CNC machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders working with steel, aluminum, and similar rigid workpiece materials.

Key Features

• 3,600 pounds holding force for high-load machining applications
• 14.5 foot-pounds rated torque for consistent clamping performance
• Serrated edge surface increases grip and reduces workpiece movement
• Slotted modular design allows lateral positioning adjustment on fixture plates
• 1/4-20 screw thread mount for compatibility with standard modular fixturing hardware
• Steel construction for durability under repeated industrial use

Compatibility

Designed for use with modular fixturing systems that accept 1/4-20 screw-mount toe clamps and slotted mounting configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tooling technicians familiar with modular fixturing systems. Power down and lock out all machine motion before adjusting or installing clamps on an active fixture. Use a calibrated torque wrench to reach the rated 14.5 foot-pounds on the mounting screw without exceeding it, as overtorquing can damage the clamp slot or fixture plate threads. Verify clamp position and workpiece contact before initiating any cutting operation.
