Hi everyone - first time poster here :cool:
My company (auto part mfg'er) is starting a warranty hub in our corporate office & we are having trouble finding a US company that can make & deliver us (what we call) a layout table. Does anyone know of any company that I could research that's in the US? (we don't want to pay a lot of $ for over-seas shipping if we can help it)
Any suggestions would be great.
PS - I apologive in advnace if this is posted in the incorrect section. Feel free to move it if necessary!
Thanks

Explain what you mean by Layout table or attached a print or picture.

There are several different issues that could be used by your statement.

Re: Layout Table Manufacturer Options - Warranty Hub

You're looking for a surface plate.

What size? What material? What grade?



Stijloor.
A measuring device would be great. Size: not exactly sure, but it would need to be big enough to hold 2 auto driver's seat at the same time (so mabye 8x8 or 10x10...?). Grade & Material - not real sure yet.
I have been charged with getting price quotes from US companies for my boss, but have only been told "we need a layout {surface plate} table ...to accurately measure part height/width/thickness/angle/etc".

Sorry if that's vague, but that's all I have to go on right now.

Try Starrett, but it will be a special size for big $$$.

Thanks for the info. I was given more details. My mgmnt is looking for prices on steel grade B surface plates (59X39 & 71X71). I contacted some local Starrett distributitors & they are telling me Starrett only does granite plates.
Anyone have any ideas of a domestic (USA) company that can provide steel surface plates?

I think I would try a local fabricator and check on having one made or look for a used one. You could then send it out for grind if it didn't fit your accuracy specs.
