Weldsale Platens allow you to clamp simply, easily and securely—in seconds—anywhere on the Platen surface…

Weldsale Platens are great for welding, grinding, heating, bending and straightening, layout and set-up. They can be used for Plasma Cutting, Oxy-Fuel Cutting and are excellent for “heating and beating”.

Weldsale Platens are made of HIGH TENSILE STRENGTH GRAY cast iron.

the many benefits of Weldsale cast iron platens include:

• Weld spatter does not easily stick to the cast iron Platen. The small spatter bits simply brush off… the large globs can easily be knocked off with a cold chisel.

• Weldsale Platens will not warp, sag, bend, twist or break under normal conditions.

• You can securely clamp anywhere on the Platen in seconds (using Weldsale Clamps and Tools!).

• Our product is long lasting, staying flat for many years.

• Any size Platen will easily support an amazing amount of distributed load.

Weldsale platens are simple, everyday workhorses that can easily handle your toughest jobs.We look forward to hearing from you!

► TOP SURFACEThe tolerance of the top surface of every Weldsale Platen is ± 0.005" per linear foot. This provides a very flat working surface. Because they are made of cast iron this flatness will be maintained for a long time.

►RAiSEd, mAChinEd bOSSES On SidES When two or more Weldsale Platens are set up

in multiple beds, they fit flush with each other at the slotted holes. This completely eliminates the

possibility of the sides cracking when bolting together. Slots on the bosses make bolt

together simple, fast and easy.

very heavy duty platens… WeldsAle plAtens are one of the longest-lasting tools you will ever buy.

Works with cast-in sockets exclusive to WeldsAle PlAtensClamp must be bolted into hole. Some customers prefer this style. The clamp does not tilt back and can be easier to keep in place. When loose, it can be rotated away from work so weldment can be removed. Bolt-down tools are a bit slower to install than fast-action clamps (see p. 7). Bolt-down clamps cannot be used with generic or acorn brand Platens. Bolt-down feature allows 360˚ rotation.

why use a downdraft ventilation/exhaust system?

• Retrofit is available for most existing Platensand stands. Please phone for full retrofitting information.

• Operator friendly–the welder does not need to move an extraction arm.

• Operator can make long welds without stopping to reposition a smoke exhaust arm.

• The downdraft principle (moving smoke away from the welder) is in keeping with OSHA guidelines.

• Applicable for any process — MIG, Flux-Cored, Stick, TIG, Plasma Cutting, Oxy-Acetylene cutting, Arcair gouging, and grinding.

• Especially suitable for galvanized and stainless welding.

Our goal is to capture approximately 70% of the smoke and fumes generated at least 12-18" above the Platen surface. Efficiency increases as the square holes are covered over by your weldment and plugged with clamps and tools. Field tests show that Weldsale downdraft systems do not affect the shielding gases in MIG welding operations.We constantly seek to improve our products. This is the third generation of our downdraft systems. It works better than our previous designs. Weldsale Company supplies only industrial grade pipe, ducting and elbows. We also supply pipe hangers and a pipe coupling for this suggested layout. The exhaust blowers are industrial grade and have weather resistant covers.Customer must supply their own electrical starter components and power cable. (Larger size units will also need a starter motor.)

CAst iron!

Weldsale has over 48 years experience selling used Platens. Most used Platens are 5' × 5' and have no brand name. (they are usually not Weldsale brand Platens.) We usually have several different designs available. These Platen designs will differ by hole pattern/configuration, and whether they have support ribs on the underside, holes in the skirts for bolting together, etc.Please let us know if you already own older Platens. We will sometimes be able to match the design of your used Platens. (There are many, many different designs of used Platens.) Other sizes of used Platens are also often available. Please call for details.Most Weldsale flextooling must be modified to fit used Platens. We typically stock this modified tooling for immediate shipment. It will work well on used Platens. See page 17 (opposite).

Typical used Platens have 1½"or 1⅝" square holes. Typical new Weldsale Platens have 1¾" square holes.When you are ordering tooling for your Platen, please check the size of your Platen’s square holes. This need not be precise, just a close approximation–but check by using a ruler, not by eye.

example of ordering tooling for used platens:

WS1ASP …for Platens with 1½" or 1⅝" sq. holes.

WS5ASP …for Platens with 1½" or 1⅝" sq. holes.

WS16-112 …for Platens with 1½" square holes.

WS16-158 …for Platens with 1⅝" square holes.

ALSO: ALL Magnets work great on Used Platens. (See p. 13)All small components (Knees, Towers, Angle Plate) also work great. (See p. 11) (They will use "SP" bolts as listed above.)Above pages refer to pictures of tools sized to fit 1¾" square holes.WS111, WS12 or any bolt down tool typically do not work on Used Platens.

Measure the SIZE of the square holes on your old Platens, if you already have Platens and need more tools. Also measure the thickness of your Platens through the square holes.

foR examPle: WS16-112 fits 1½" square holes and WS16-158 fits 1⅝" square holes.WS5ASP fits either 1½" or 1⅝" square holes.

see pgs. 6–12 for tools that fit 1¾" square holes.The “sP” suffix on some tools indicates special machining that make these particular tools fit.

“everything under the torch gets destroyed.”Weldsale flame CleaR PyRamids are designed to extend the life of your Cutting Table. Their fewer points of contact assure that the cross supports will never be cut (as long as you continue to use the Pyramids). The Pyramids themselves (being made of cast iron) do not easily burn, even when the torch makes a “bulls eye” pass over the point of a Pyramid. (Note: Oxy-Fuel does not easily cut cast iron and the Plasma torch travels so fast, it does minimal damage.)

You install them by simply setting them on the cross supports. We recommend you place Pyramids about 6" apart. However, the size of the parts you are cutting often dictates the distance you place them apart. They can be placed right next to each other or as far apart as you wish; whatever is appropriate to the parts you are cutting. (Note: if you place them too far apart, on very thin material for instance, the plate may belly and your part size–and kerf!!–may be affected.)

The following information will help us to determine which Pyramids are best for you:

• Do you already use Weldsale Flame Clear Pyramids?

• What is the thickness of your existing cross supports?

• Do you load and/or unload your plate with magnets?

• Will you want to slide the Pyramids back and forth along the cross supports or fix them in place?

• Is your existing Cutting Table a Dry, Downdraft or Water Table?

save money!! Note: On very large tables, the number of Pyramids can easily run into several hundred or even thousands. On highly repetitive cutting, we recommend you run your cutting program, with no plate loaded, and follow the torch along, pushing or pulling Pyramids out of the path of the torch. This will greatly extend the life of these Pyramids. Get your money’s worth!

taller, stronger, simpler, cheaper. We build them for regular duty or heavy duty applications. Weldsale Cutting tables can be used with or without pyramids.

Options include:• A central support for much greater strength

(Heavy duty Cutting Table)• A sloped tray—below the table—to bring the

dross, debris and cut parts to one side.

It will be helpful for us to know the following, so we can quote you promptly and correctly:

• How do you load and unload your Plate? (eg: Overhead Crane? Forklift?)

• do you plan to use Flame Clear Pyramids on your table?

Cross supports are easily replaced.

Would you like a different size table than those listed? Please call for pricing.
