Mitee-bite 60071 Wedge Clamp Stock 1.5in Aluminum

Product Description

The MITEE-BITE 60071 is a channel-shaped wedge clamp stock bar machined from aluminum, designed for use in custom fixturing and workholding setups. This extrusion profile provides the geometry needed to build or replace wedge-style clamp assemblies used to secure workpieces on machining centers, mills, and similar equipment. At 1.5 inches wide, 0.75 inches tall, and 7.5 inches long, it gives machinists and tooling engineers enough stock to cut and adapt clamp components to specific fixture layouts. The aluminum construction keeps weight low while providing adequate rigidity for light to medium clamping loads. Machinists, toolmakers, and fixturing specialists are the primary installers.

This wedge clamp stock is suited for production and job-shop environments where standard clamp components need to be fabricated or replaced in-house. The channel cross-section is intended for wedge clamping systems where the profile mates with a matching wedge or T-slot arrangement to apply lateral or vertical clamping force. It is sold as individual stock length, allowing the user to cut it to the required clamp length for the application at hand. Typical use cases include horizontal and vertical machining center fixtures and manual mill setups.

Key Features

• Channel-shaped profile engineered for wedge-style workholding clamp assemblies
• Aluminum construction offers low weight and corrosion resistance
• 1.5 inches wide by 0.75 inches tall cross-section for standard wedge clamp geometry
• 7.5 inch length provides stock material for custom cutting and fabrication
• Sold as a single piece to match exact quantity needs

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement and fabrication stock component for wedge-style clamping systems where a channel-profile aluminum bar of 1.5 inches width is required. Confirm cross-section dimensions against your existing fixture design before cutting.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tooling engineers familiar with workholding fixture design. Cut the stock to the required length using appropriate metalworking equipment before fitting into the clamp assembly. Deburr all cut edges to prevent interference with mating clamp surfaces. Ensure all machine spindles and axes are powered down and locked out before performing any fixture modifications on the machine.
