Weldable Hot Rolled Mild Steel Plate (6, Square - 1/4, 2 Pack)

We got magnifying workbench lights that were designed to be attached at the base to a steel plate — only I wanted to attach them to end tables. I like engineering solutions, so I found these wonderful little plates to complete our project. They are smooth on both sides, and fairly smooth (smooth enough) around all four edges. Our end tables are a light oak finish, so I may paint the plates to match. I haven’t decided yet. The base of the lights look similar to the base of a cane, and there’s a screw in the bottom to affix the light to a metal plate. As the light is heavier at the top than the bottom, we felt sure the metal plate part of the instructions was essential to a successful install. So we ordered two, one for each table. We will affix the lights on the inside rear corner of each table. The plates would look fine as they are, but paint might prevent rust over time. However leaving them as they are isn’t unsightly. The little square of steel on a corner of the table at the base of the light won’t detract too much, because the plates match the black frame of the light and the black steel legs of the tables. Oh decisions, decisions. I will try to come back and update my review with finished pictures. But I wanted to get this review done now, to hurry and let everyone know how great a little piece of 3x3 inch steel can be!

Perfectly cut and weighted. I don’t know the original use for this product. I use them as additional dampening on my 2 channel stereo. These along with matching cut foam pads help reduce noise and equipment vibration. The cut of this product is consistent.

Perfect size for my project

I did not receive the 2 sets I was charged for. Please send remaining set.

Product is fine, was what I wanted but promised delivery time was not met. Do not trust Amazon delivery times if you need something on a specific day or time.

All is as i had hoped for. clean well cut steel, clean edges. good to work with. I am happy with the product and service.

The plates are as described, I used them to mount a motor for a project.

It is what it is... what more can I say? It suited my needs.

Dimensions are exact... Mill scale is present.

Quick shipping, I bought these to stabilize a Jack on one of my trailers. The Jack wasn’t stable enough when dropped with a load so it needed support from the bottom of the frame. This will increase support.
