Laser cut in Delta, Utah
Custom mounting plates.
Made to your dimensions.
Get a flat plate cut for your equipment, fixture or repair—with the outside shape and hole locations your drawing specifies. Choose steel, stainless steel or aluminum.
No CAD? Start with your measurements. Create a supported plate shape, preview the hole pattern, then get pricing for the physical part.
No minimum order required. The builder creates your DXF. Download it, then upload it to select material, thickness and quantity. Need hot-dip galvanizing?
01 / Equipment interfaces
Mounting plates for equipment and fabrication
Equipment and machines
Match the plate outline and attachment points to the equipment and the surface it will mount to.
Motor mounting
Reproduce the specified round-hole pattern for a flat mounting plate. For adjustment slots or other flat-profile details, upload a DXF/DWG flat profile or a STEP/STP solid of the flat part with uniform thickness, and confirm the cutting requirements before ordering.
Sensors and controls
Position round attachment holes for a sensor, control component, or small equipment assembly.
Fixtures
Create a flat plate with hole locations for the fixture layout you have specified.
Check both sides of the connection. An adapter plate may need one pattern for the equipment and another for the supporting frame or surface.
02 / Measurements
Confirm the measurements that determine fit
Outside dimensions
Define the plate’s width and height. Check the space available around the equipment, including nearby components and access needed for assembly.
Hole diameter
Use the required finished hole size from your equipment information or drawing; the nominal bolt diameter alone does not specify the required hole clearance.
Hole-center spacing
Measure between hole centers, horizontally and vertically. Do not substitute the distance between hole edges.
Edge distance
The distance from a hole center to the plate edge differs from the metal remaining between the hole edge and the plate edge. Check which measurement your drawing specifies. Common Plate centers the four-hole pattern; use Custom Part for an offset placement.
Mounting dimensions
These measurements describe geometry. They do not establish whether a plate thickness, edge distance, or fastener arrangement can carry the intended load.
03 / Pattern choice
Choose the right pattern in Metal Part Creator
Common Plate
A centered four-hole pattern
Enter Plate width, Plate height, Bolt centers — horizontal, Bolt centers — vertical, and Hole diameter. Four matching holes are positioned automatically.
Custom Part
Individual holes or two patterns
Choose Rectangle plate. Enter the outside dimensions, then add each hole with its X position, Y position, and diameter. X and Y locate the hole center from the lower-left reference. Check each mounting point, especially when combining equipment and frame patterns.
For other supported plate shapes, see Custom Metal Plates With Holes.
04 / Material selection
Steel, stainless steel, or aluminum
Rapid CNC Parts cuts flat plates in steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Choose the material grade and thickness required for your application from the available quote-tool selections. Review the current material and cutting limits before ordering.
Material and thickness are selected after uploading the file; they are not selected in the part generator. For a required grade, critical tolerance, or finish that is not listed, ask our team for a review.
05 / Hot-dip galvanizing
Hot-dip galvanized industrial plates
For outdoor, structural, utility, agricultural, and equipment applications, Rapid CNC Parts can coordinate hot-dip galvanizing after your steel plates are laser cut. Common applications include equipment mounting plates, base plates, anchor and foundation plates, connection plates, and other custom industrial plates exposed to weather or corrosive conditions.
Use our quote request form for galvanized parts. Attach your drawing and include steel grade, thickness, quantity, coating requirements, delivery location and target date. We’ll confirm the cutting and galvanizing scope, price and timing before you order.
HDG order review: Hot-dip galvanizing is completed by an outside processing partner. Galvanizer minimum lot charges may apply based on total batch weight. Final HDG pricing and added lead time will be confirmed before the order is approved for production.
06 / Your order

The generator accepts inches or millimeters and exports the DXF in inches at the same physical size. Check the quote tool’s displayed dimensions before ordering.
Questions before you build
Mounting plate questions
Can the builder make slots, countersinks, or threaded holes?
The current builder creates supported flat outlines and round through-cut holes. Threading is not available yet. Countersinks, slots, bends, and other special features need shop review before ordering; send your drawing through our quote request form.
Can Rapid CNC Parts choose the thickness for my equipment load?
You must specify the required material, thickness, and connection details for your application. Rapid CNC Parts manufactures the entered geometry; this workflow does not provide structural engineering, load calculations, or design approval.
Can I put two mounting patterns on one plate?
Use Custom Part to enter the individual round holes for both patterns. Check their positions, diameters, spacing, and relationship to the plate edges. Any critical fit or tolerance requirements should also be supplied for review.
How does the hot-dip galvanized option work?
Select galvanizing on our quote request form and send your drawings and requirements. Our team reviews the cutting and outside finishing together, including any lot charges and added lead time. You approve the quoted scope before ordering.
What if the dimensions look wrong after upload?
Stop and check the imported units and outside dimensions against your intended plate. Do not order while the scale is incorrect. Request help with your quote if the file does not load as expected.
You are responsible for entering and confirming the correct dimensions, material requirements, and mounting arrangement. The builder’s geometry check does not approve the equipment connection.
