Mitee-Bite introduces a new style clamp to its range of ID Xpansion clamps, theSIDE-LOC Xpansion clamp which is an ideal way to hold parts on the bore when youcan not access the tapered screw. The SIDE-LOC clamp is actuated by turning a socket head cam, on the side, which moves a tapered plunger to expand the clamp. The locking ring provides accurate preset diameter and rigidity for machining.Like our original ID Xpansion clamps, the SIDE-LOC clamp has the dead length feature which is critical for close tolerance dimensions.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 and the lathe version from 2.09 to .710.The lathe version has straight mounting shanks of 1”.
