X-Plate Modular Fixturing Platform

The X-Plate system from Mitee-Bite Products LLC is an extremely versatile modular fixturing platform for 3-, 4- and 5-axis applications, providing many mounting options including a precision quick-change system when clamped in a vise or T-slot table.

It includes a provision on the bottom for the Mitee-Bite diamond/taper locating pins to precisely mount to subplate, plus the primary function as a multifunctional face plate for indexers and 5-axis machining centers. The X-Plate system is designed to save time, material cost and provide more options when determining the best method for the next job.
