Hi everyone,
I'm looking to have a 10"x20"x2" [0.005"-0.006" flatness] sacrificial fixture plate with 1/4-20" threaded holes on a square pattern. I'm hoping to use it to weld up small Aluminum parts for my baby robots. Wondering if this will work and be flat enough, not warp, and not suck all the heat out of my welds.
I've seen 8x16x.59 for $103.21 but I think thicker would be more resistant to warping with the heat.

Wondering if you could quote me for how much a 10"x20"x2" would cost and a the same thing if it were a 1" thick plate.
Also wondering what a 10"x20"x5/8"s plate would cost in steel.
I found a video of the basic idea of what i'm looking for
