There are convenient welding surface plates such as 3D surface plates and honeycomb surface plates, but they are very expensive, so I decided to make my own. I made it with a 12mm thick 1200x2100 iron plate and fixed it with bolts so that it would not warp. A completely flat surface plate is very important in welding, so we made it possible to finely adjust the height and adjust the warp and flatness.
In addition, 448 M10 taps are placed on the iron plate so that the material can be fixed anywhere using clamp bolts. This suppresses deformation during tack welding and improves dimensional accuracy. In addition, by fixing guides and jigs, the production efficiency of the same product will increase. Since there is no need to weld guides or jigs to the surface plate, there is no deformation or damage to the surface plate due to welding.
It is very convenient to use the screw holes to fix various tools.
Although tapping was difficult, we were able to create a cheap and easy-to-use welding surface plate with only the cost of materials.
