Weldsale tooling

You can choose from a variety of tooling available from Weldsale. Pick what you need and leave the rest. We strive to keep all of these items on the shelf for immediate shipment. Weldsale Flextools refer to our assortment of various clamps, tools, magnets, and small components - all of the items you can use to keep you and your shop as flexible as possible.

You can choose from our fast acting clamps such as
WS16-134 vertical swivel clamp and WS26-134 vertical pipe clamps as well as our small components such as our Weldsale towers, knees, cubes, and tombstones. These small components bolt down to Weldsale platens allowing much faster setup and fabrication of your repetitive jobs. They help you to provide a three dimensional clamping and fixturing environment for setting up your weldments.

Variety of tooling

We have all types of tools and clamps to fit Weldsale platens, acorn style table, and generic platens. Most will work well with either acorn style platens or the older reconditioned used platens we offer. Weldsale has patents on a family of FlexTooling clamps.

Hole size

The standard hole on a Weldsale platen is 1 ¾” square. Weldsale also has tooling to fit acorn style platens (also known as acorn style table) with 1 ½” and 1 ⅝” square holes. When ordering tooling please specify hole size on your platens if they are not Weldsale Platens. Since 1962 we have been supplying Weldsale platens and tooling. We sometimes will make up custom tooling to fit other size square holes on generic platens.

The benefits of Weldsale tooling are as following:

  • Quick action clamping can secure weldments in less than 10 seconds
  • A large Variety of clamps, tooling and small components for any type of application
  • We have Tooling to fit Weldsale platens or any Acorn style table
  • Weldsale mini small components (i.e., Cubes, Tombstones, Towers and Knees) allow for 3 dimensional locating, positioning and clamping.
  • Modular tooling allows for quick set up and knock- down for the next application
  • Weldsale magnets make clamping and holding weldments a one step process
  • Weldsale has custom tooling also available

You can install and securely clamp with some Weldsale Flextooling in less than 10 seconds, anywhere on the Platen surface because of the uniform grid of square holes and our cast-in sockets.

Weldsale offers a wide variety of versatile tooling, ranging from traditional Gooseneck Dogs and Bending Posts to our patented quick acting Vertical and Horizontal Clamps.

With typical shop-made steel workbenches, you must (typically) first cut a C-Clamp in half, and then weld it into place on the steel table. When you are finished your welding operation, you normally must then knock the C-Clamp off the steel table and grind down the weld bead. That kind of work is eliminated with Weldsale Platens and Flextooling.
