Marking plate M206.207 — grey cast iron surface plate, 800 x 500 mm

The Marking plate M206.207 is a workshop-grade surface plate designed for layout, scribing and basic inspection duties in machine shops and fabrication areas.

• Grey cast iron to DIN 876/3
• Stable 800 x 500 mm measuring area
• 25 mm thick top for rigidity
• Suited to marking, scribing and inspection

A stable base that improves repeatability and throughput

A grey cast iron construction provides high mass and damping, which reduces vibration during marking and inspection operations and contributes to consistent results. The adherence to DIN 876/3 signals a defined flatness class, so flatness characteristics are predictable when used as a reference plane. By choosing a heavy, rigid plate with a 25 mm top section, shops gain a repeatable datum that shortens setup time and reduces rework, supporting a more efficient production flow.

Precision-oriented design that supports everyday workshop tasks

The 800 x 500 mm measuring area gives a practical balance between reach and manageability for typical components and jigs. The plate’s planarity and mass help maintain contact stability with scribers, height gauges and small inspection tools; this ensures layout lines and reference marks stay accurate. With an overall robustness that suits daily use, the workpiece handling cycle is simplified and accuracy is preserved across repeated measurements.

Practical handling and installation considerations for the workshop

Although the plate is substantial at approximately 50 kg, its dimensions and thickness make it straightforward to position on benches or stands designed for inspection fixtures; the mass becomes an asset for stability rather than a handling hindrance. Where frequent relocation is necessary, use of appropriate lifting aids or two-person handling is recommended to protect accuracy and avoid damage. The plate’s format suits standard workshop workflows for marking, scribing and quick comparative checks.

Long-term reliability and compatibility with shop processes

A cast-iron surface plate provides a durable reference plane that tolerates normal workshop use when cared for correctly: keep surfaces clean, avoid point loads, and use soft supports if storing other parts on the plate. Conformity with recognised standards simplifies integration into existing inspection routines and documentation. For organisations seeking confidence in supply and traceability, Metav’s distribution provides consistent stock and logistical reliability for repeat purchases.

FAQ

What flatness class does the plate meet?
The plate is supplied to the flatness characteristics of DIN 876/3, which provides a reproducible reference plane for workshop layout and basic inspection tasks.

Is the marking plate suitable for precision inspection and scribing?
Yes, the Marking plate M206.207 is intended for marking, scribing and comparative checks; its grey cast iron construction and 25 mm thickness provide the rigidity required for reliable layout work.

How large is the usable measuring area and what are the handling considerations?
The usable surface measures 800 x 500 mm. At roughly 50 kg, the plate is robust; appropriate handling aids or two-person lifts are recommended to protect accuracy during relocation.

Can the plate be used as a base for height gauges and scribers?
Yes, the plate functions as a stable datum for height gauges, scribers and light inspection fixtures in workshop environments when normal care and handling are observed.
