Welding fixture plate

No surprise here, now that I have my own TIG welder, I am likely to do more welding :-)

I can't justify taking up a lot of workshop space with a permanent welding table, so I've made a surface suitable to weld on.


Prior to making this I've had to find something workable at the time. I've tried using a paving slab to protect the workbench and a scrap of steel plate.


The newly constructed welding fixture plate is made from 10mm thick steel plate, 600mm wide x 400mm deep. Specifically to fit across my workbench with a welding blanket under it. I am glad I did not get it cut any larger because I would have struggled to lift anything much heavier.

The plate is slightly raised up to get G-clamps round the edge, plus I've added a few 16mm holes in the middle for fixture table clamps and stops.
