Steel Gusset Plates — Cut to Your Profile
Triangular, corner and custom-profile steel gusset plates, plasma cut in batches so every gusset in the job is the same — ready to weld into frames, brackets and base plates.

A gusset plate stiffens a joint — the inside corner of a bracket, a base plate to its post, a frame member to its neighbour. Cutting them one at a time with a grinder or saw is slow and never quite consistent. We nest gussets on the plasma table, so a batch of fifty comes off identical.
Simple right-angle triangles are the most common, but we cut whatever profile your joint needs: corner gussets with a radius, tapered or stepped gussets, gussets with lightening holes, or plates with bolt holes for a bolted connection.
Details that make welding easier
We can cut a corner snipe (chamfer) on the right-angle corner so the gusset clears the root weld of the joint it sits in — a small detail that saves grinding on site. Tell us if you need it and the size.
Gussets are typically ordered alongside base plates and brackets from the same drawing set, so the whole kit arrives together.
Specification
We cut gussets to the profile, thickness and material on your drawing. The design of a structural connection, including gusset size and weld, is for your engineer.

How to order
Send your drawing (DXF, DWG or PDF) or a dimensioned sketch with the material, thickness and quantity. We'll check it, ask about anything unclear, and reply with a price and lead time. Once approved, parts are made in our Knowsley workshop for collection or UK delivery.
Questions we're often asked
Do you sell standard-size gussets?
We cut gussets to order, so any size is a standard size. If you don't have a drawing, give us the two leg lengths, thickness and corner snipe.
Can you weld the gussets in for us?
Yes — if you send us the parent parts or the full drawing, we can fabricate the complete bracket or base plate.
