We’ve spent a good deal of energy focusing on quality parts… quality steel, quality laser cuts, quality machining, and especially quality welding. When we see parts installed at a show, we can pretty much always tell if they’re Welder Series parts based on the weld and edge quality. That said, when a customer came in with a set of four bar brackets that he thought were ours, it didn’t take too much inspection to determine that they didn’t come from our shop.

I wanted to point out some of the features that a Welder Series bracket has versus this similar (but different) bracket.

Hole is generally circular but not round, edges are bumpy.

Edges aren’t perpendicular to sides of plate, not smooth.

Hole isn’t round (stop-start point for the plasma cutter).

Barely noticeable stop-start mark (laser cut), high edge quality, defined tig bead.

Hole is round and circular.
