Mitee-bite 61500 Single T-slot Wedge Clamp 3500 Lb

Product Description

The MITEE-BITE 61500 is a single wedge-style T-slot clamp designed for workholding applications on milling machines, machining centers, and other setups that use standard T-slot tables. It delivers 3,500 pounds of holding force through a 1/2-13 screw thread, making it a solid choice for moderate-duty fixturing. The base measures 1.215 inches wide by 1.875 inches deep by 1.5 inches high. Jaw spread ranges from 1.47 to 1.56 inches, and the clamp is rated for 28.3 lb/ft of applied torque. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC setup personnel are the primary users.

The 61500 is suited for production and job-shop environments where T-slot table space is limited and fast, repeatable workholding is required. Its single-wedge design reduces interference with adjacent fixtures and minimizes the number of tool changes needed during a setup. It is appropriate for use on vertical and horizontal machining center tables, surface grinder tables, and manual milling machines equipped with standard T-slots.

Key Features

• 3,500 lb holding force for reliable workholding under moderate cutting loads
• Single-wedge design minimizes footprint and reduces interference with adjacent clamps
• 1/2-13 screw thread for compatibility with standard T-slot hardware
• Jaw spread of 1.47 to 1.56 inches accommodates typical T-slot table geometries
• Compact base profile reduces wasted table space and supports denser part setups
• Rated at 28.3 lb/ft torque for consistent, measurable clamping force

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style workholding clamp for standard T-slot machine tables in milling, grinding, and machining center applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or CNC setup technicians. Ensure the machine table is powered down and the spindle is stopped before placing or adjusting clamps. Use a calibrated torque wrench to apply the specified 28.3 lb/ft torque value to the 1/2-13 clamping screw. Verify that the T-slot width matches the jaw spread range before seating the clamp to prevent rocking or uneven load distribution.
