Manufacturing Process: Cad Designed and Laser Cut
These radius weld-on tabs are designed for versatile use in fabrication, mounting, and reinforcement projects. Crafted from raw mild steel with a natural, unpainted finish, they provide excellent weldability and durability.
The tabs feature a tapered profile with a rounded top for reduced stress concentrations and a centered hole for easy bolting or pinning.
These tabs are precision-cut for consistency and can be easily welded using MIG, TIG, or stick methods. The raw steel finish allows for custom painting, powder coating, or rust protection as needed. Perfect for DIY enthusiasts, welders, and fabricators working on vehicles, machinery, furniture, or metal art.
Finish Types
Raw Steel: Ships as bare metal—affordable, no added finish cost, and quickest to produce/ship. Ideal if you plan to paint it yourself, weld it further, or want a custom look (e.g., intentional patina or rattle-can paint). Note: Mild steel rusts quickly when exposed to moisture/humidity—store indoors and apply protection soon if used outdoors or in damp garages. Great for budget builds or immediate DIY finishing.
Powder Coat: A baked-on, professional-grade finish (textured black standard). Much tougher than regular paint—resists chips, scratches, fading, and rust far better. Provides excellent protection for job-site, vehicle, or outdoor use (like tool mounts in vans or garages). Adds a small upcharge but delivers a premium, long-lasting look with minimal maintenance. Powder coat also helps hardware stay functional longer by reducing wear.
Metal Thickness
How do I choose the right gauge for my project?
- Choose thicker gauges (10 or 11) for heavy-duty strength, structural parts, or high-load applications. Example: Using the plate on a horizontal application such floor or dolly.
- Choose thinner gauges (14) for lighter-weight parts, panels, or where cost matters more. Ideal for vertical applications suck as wall or bedside mount.
Why does gauge go backward (lower number = thicker)?
The gauge system originated from the number of draws needed to produce wire/sheet of that thickness. Fewer draws = thicker material = lower gauge number.
