Mitee-bite 33260 Locating Positioning Rail 2 Hole

Product Description

The MITEE-BITE 33260 is a two-hole locating positioning rail designed for precision workholding and fixturing applications in machining and manufacturing environments. Constructed from low carbon steel, this rail provides a rigid reference edge for accurately locating and securing workpieces on milling tables, tombstones, and fixture plates. The 3/8-16 threaded holes allow for standard fastener engagement, and an optional tungsten carbide coating can be applied to the rail surface to increase holding force when clamping pressure demands are higher. Machinists and tooling specialists install these rails as part of modular fixturing setups.

This positioning rail is suited for use in job shops, production machining cells, and tool rooms where repeatable workpiece location is required. It is appropriate for setups involving milling, drilling, and grinding operations where a positive stop or reference edge improves part-to-part consistency. The compact profile allows it to fit within tight fixture layouts without interfering with cutting tool clearance.

Key Features

• Two threaded holes with 3/8-16 thread size for secure mounting to fixture plates or machine tables
• Low carbon steel construction provides durability in standard shop environments
• Tungsten carbide coating can be added to increase holding and wear resistance
• Compact 3 inches x 0.98 inches x 0.73 inches profile fits tight fixture layouts
• Sold individually for targeted fixturing builds or replacement of worn rails

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental component for modular fixturing systems that accept 3/8-16 threaded locating rails.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tooling technicians as part of a workholding or fixture assembly. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat before securing the rail to prevent misalignment. Use calibrated torque tools and follow machine tool builder guidelines for fastener engagement on fixture plates. Always power down and lock out the machine before adjusting or replacing fixturing components.
