Floor Plate Source?

I tried "textured steel plate" and got this (among others). Ignoring the pictures to the right, scan down to the third one on the left, sometimes described as "checker plate". I'm not sure it's what you have in mind.

Nope, didn't see what I'm looking for. Thanks.

Тype 8.6, Embossed plate, Square

It's in the former USSR. The shipping is going to be a killer.

Always with the negative waves, Moriarty ... Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

_{I didn't cancel your GA, I think you're already pissing off someone this morning though.}

Me? It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it.

This could be it. I'll have to phone my friend to see if the dimensions match what he needs. I bet he is not used to millimeters! Thanks.

textured steel plate images

Wow! There are some neat ones in there. My checker-plate idea bombed out, but your page 1 row 4 pix 2&5 might work, along with Lyn's GA. Awaiting OP feedback....

Wow! Lots of images, but none seem to be what the guy wants. The pyramids in a square pattern of page 3 & 4 is closest, but he needs square flat-topped projections. It could be obsolete, because he is working on an old machine.

Seems to me that diamonds are just squares turned 45degrees. Am I missing something?

The "diamonds" in ordinary diamond-plate are elongated rhombi, about 3/8" x 1.5", alternating 90° from each other. Quite different from rotated squares.

It is also known as chequered plates, normally used for walking platforms to avoid slipping. These are available in India but it will be expensive as shipping cost may be high.

Try "Manufacturers of chequered plates in India" .They may have such thing.What is the quantity required ?

He has not specified the quantity other than for floorboards on an Allis-Chalmers 220 tractor. So, probably small--my guess is several square feet .

Also known as tread plate, here's some examples. No. 24 could be what you want.

Could be; I'll pass on the website. Cut at an angle, the squares would be in rows and columns.

That site was a random choice, there are several manufacturers, maybe one closer to home.

L57,

Here locally (Stark County), try Ohio Gratings out on Southway. If they don't have what you need, they should be able to point you in the right direction. Also, R.G Smith Co. (local sheet metal fabricator) on Dueber S.W. could be a good source. Shop foreman's name is Chuck Rogers.

Good Luck !
