Clearance versus location
Identify which holes simply clear a fastener and which locate the assembly; locating features may need a separate machining operation.
Custom Stainless Steel Mounting Plates
Made-to-drawing flat plates that connect equipment, fixtures and assemblies through a defined hole pattern. Specify the mounting datum, fastener clearance and any alignment features so the plate fits the adjoining components.

Mounting Plates: dimensions and quotation parameters.
The dimensions below help us review mounting plates. State units and critical tolerances on the original drawing. The illustration explains the type of geometry; it does not define a standard size.
| Overall length and width | Dimension the finished outside envelope from named datum edges. |
|---|---|
| Sheet thickness | State the nominal thickness and whether thickness variation affects assembly. |
| Mounting holes | Provide diameters, center distances and the reference datum. |
| Slots | Specify width, usable travel and end radius. |
| Material & quantity | Give the exact metal grade, standard, temper or condition, quantity per revision and planned repeat orders. |
| Units & tolerances | Use mm or inches consistently. Mark the dimensions that control fit and the inspection datum. |
Thickness range, minimum features, tolerances, finish availability and delivery date are reviewed for your actual part. No catalog dimension or blanket machining tolerance is implied.
What we review
before cutting.
Cut contours, hole function and the way the plate meets its mating parts.
Contact surface
Describe whether the plate sits on a flat base, a spacer or a welded frame so flatness can be reviewed.
Material and finish
belong in the drawing.
Grade, environment and visible-face requirements are separate specification choices. Include them before quotation so the material and process route can be reviewed together.
Specify the grade
Stainless steel options include 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 430 and duplex 2205. Carbon steel, galvanized steel, aluminium, copper and brass can also be discussed for your drawing. State the exact grade and applicable material standard.
Read the grade selection reference for general material context. Availability, product form and suitability are confirmed for the project. Explore all six material families.
Define the finished surface
Identify a mill finish, brushed appearance or another specified finish; include the visible face, grain direction and any surface-roughness requirement.
Specify edge deburring, protective-film handling and packing if they affect the delivered part. Read the finish terminology guide.
Material options are reviewed against your drawing, grade, thickness and finishing needs. Stainless steel remains our core focus; sourcing and the manufacturing route are confirmed during quotation.
Inspect the features
that matter to your assembly.
Check the outside profile, mounting-hole centers and the orientation of the part against the approved drawing. Identify the contact face if a flatness inspection is required.
Provide the inspection datum, critical dimensions and any requested records with the inquiry. A model preview supports communication; the approved engineering drawing remains the manufacturing reference.
Quality & material requirementsMounting Plates:
common questions.
Can mounting plates include adjustment slots?
Yes. Show the slot width, end shape and intended adjustment direction, together with the mating fastener size. Mark any features that need a closer fit than the cutting process alone can provide.
What should I send for a quotation?
Send your mounting plates drawing, grade, thickness or tube section, quantity, finish and critical dimensions. A clear PDF or image is accepted for review; a DXF supports flat cutting contours.
Can I request prototypes and production batches?
Include prototype quantity and expected repeat quantity in the inquiry. Batch size, process route and lead time are confirmed after the drawing and specification review.
