All dimensions shown in the illustrations are in inches.
The most commonly used thickness is .210 for all plates and is required for the top plate if you wish to use threaded inserts. Try to design your plate using this thickness. You may combine different plate thicknesses with each other. However it is usually more economical to use the same thickness for all plates if possible. We can bond up to 6 plates together depending on the absolute maximum thickness.
