Mitee-bite 33160 Locating Positioning Rail 4 Hole 6 Inches

Product Description

The MITEE-BITE 33160 is a 4-hole locating and positioning rail designed for precision workholding and fixturing applications in machining and manufacturing environments. Manufactured from low-carbon steel, this rail provides a rigid, repeatable reference point for locating workpieces on mill tables, tombstones, and custom fixtures. The rail measures 6 inches in overall length, 0.48 inches in width, and 0.35 inches in height, with four 1/4-20 threaded holes that accept standard fasteners. Machinists and tooling engineers use this type of component to establish consistent datum positions and reduce setup time between operations.

This positioning rail is suited for use in CNC machining centers, manual milling operations, and custom fixture assemblies where repeatable part location is critical. It is commonly installed in toolrooms, job shops, and production environments requiring accurate workpiece registration. The low-carbon steel construction keeps the rail machinable and weldable, allowing for modification when needed to suit specific fixture designs. The 1/4-20 thread size is a widely used standard, making hardware sourcing straightforward on the shop floor.

Key Features

• Low-carbon steel construction for durability and machinability
• Four 1/4-20 threaded holes for standard fastener compatibility
• Compact profile at 0.48 inches wide and 0.35 inches high for low-clearance fixture designs
• 6-inch length provides a practical span for multi-point workpiece registration
• Consistent hole spacing supports repeatable datum-based setups

Compatibility

Designed as a standard locating and positioning component for use in machining fixtures, tombstones, and workholding systems that accept 1/4-20 fastener hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or tooling engineer during fixture setup or assembly. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat before securing the rail to prevent locating errors. Use calibrated torque tools when tightening 1/4-20 fasteners to avoid distortion of the rail or damage to threaded holes. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and lock out any machine power before installing or adjusting fixture components.
