Mitee-bite 47120 Single Vise Machinable Wedge Clamp

Product Description

The MITEE-BITE 47120 is a single-wedge vise clamp designed for precision fixturing in CNC machining and milling operations. It delivers 5,000 pounds of holding force through a wedge-action clamping mechanism, securing workpieces with minimal footprint. The base measures 1.3 inches wide by 0.83 inches deep by 0.59 inches high, making it well suited for low-profile setups where conventional clamps interfere with toolpaths. Jaw hardness is rated at 30 to 34 HRC, providing durability under repeated clamping cycles. The clamp accepts a 5/16-18 screw thread and is designed for three-dimensional machining applications where access and clearance are critical.

This wedge clamp is used in machine shops for workholding on vertical and horizontal machining centers. Its low-profile design allows cutting tools to pass close to the clamping zone without collision, making it appropriate for five-axis and multi-face setups. The jaw spread range of 1.3 to 1.46 inches accommodates a variety of stock thicknesses. Machinists and CNC setup technicians install this clamp directly into fixture plates or custom-machined jaws, using it as a vise stop or primary workholding component on production and prototype runs.

Key Features

• 5,000 lb holding force from a single wedge-action mechanism
• Low-profile base at 0.59 inches high — reduces tool clearance conflicts
• Jaw hardness of 30 to 34 HRC for wear resistance under repeated use
• Jaw spread of 1.3 to 1.46 inches suits a range of workpiece stock sizes
• 5/16-18 screw thread for positive torque application at 30 lb/ft
• Machinable body supports custom jaw profiling and three-dimensional fixturing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style workholding component for use in precision fixture plates and custom vise jaw assemblies on CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machining professionals or CNC setup technicians. Ensure the fixture plate or mounting surface is clean and flat before seating the clamp base. Apply torque evenly to the 5/16-18 screw using a calibrated torque wrench to reach the specified 30 lb/ft clamping load. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before adjusting or removing any workholding components.
