Mitee-bite 47100 Single Vise Wedge Clamp 2000 Lb

Product Description

The MITEE-BITE 47100 is a single vise wedge clamp designed to hold workpieces securely in machining and fixturing applications. It delivers 2,000 pounds of holding force through a wedge-style clamping mechanism, making it well suited for high-precision work where movement cannot be tolerated. The clamp features a hardness rating of 48 to 52 HRC for durability under repeated clamping cycles. Jaw spread ranges from 0.79 to 0.98 inches, and the clamp is driven by a 10-32 screw thread at 7 lb/ft torque. Machinists, toolmakers, and fixturing technicians install this clamp in vise setups on CNC mills and manual machines.

The 47100 is intended for use in machine shop environments where compact, high-force clamping is required. Its small footprint — 0.79 inches wide by 0.59 inches deep — allows it to be placed in tight setups without interfering with toolpaths or adjacent clamps. The wedge design provides consistent, repeatable clamping force each time the screw is torqued, which is critical in production runs where part positioning must remain consistent across multiple setups.

Key Features

• 2,000 lb holding force for secure workpiece retention in vise setups
• Jaw spread range of 0.79 to 0.98 inches accommodates varying workpiece thicknesses
• 48 to 52 HRC hardness for long service life under heavy clamping loads
• 10-32 screw thread driven at 7 lb/ft torque for controlled, repeatable clamping
• Compact base at 0.79 inches wide by 0.59 inches deep minimizes setup footprint
• Wedge clamp style provides positive, self-locking holding action

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style wedge clamp for use in standard vise fixturing setups requiring a 10-32 screw thread drive and jaw spread within the 0.79 to 0.98 inch range.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or toolmaker during workholding setup. Before installing or repositioning the clamp, ensure the machine is powered down and the vise is fully released. Use a calibrated torque driver to apply the specified 7 lb/ft to the 10-32 drive screw — do not overtorque, as this can damage the screw or distort the clamp body. Verify jaw spread is within the rated range before applying full clamping force.
