Mitee-Bite is offering a new style clamp to its range of ID Xpansion clamps. The SIDE-LOC Xpansion clamp offers an alternative way to hold parts on the bore when the tapered screw cannot be accessed.
The SIDE-LOC clamp is actuated by turning a socket head cam on its side, moving a tapered plunger to expand the clamp, providing an accurate preset diameter and rigidity. The SIDE-LOC clamp is designed in two styles, one for milling operations, and one for lathe applications. Presently one size is available for each model. The mill SIDE-LOC clamp can be machined from 1.120 to .710 in. and the lathe version from 2.09 to .710 in., whereas the lathe version has straight mounting shanks of 1 in.
