Welding & Metalwork Tools & Calculators
Practical calculators for the fabrication shop — weigh your stock, price a weld job and its cost per foot, find a starting amperage, meter your shielding gas, size a filler order, and plan your cuts to get the most parts out of every length of steel.
⚖️ Metal Weight Calculator
Weigh plate, round bar, square bar, or pipe in steel, stainless, aluminium, copper, brass, or titanium from your dimensions and the material density — in both pounds and kilograms
💵 Welding Cost Calculator
Add up filler, shielding gas, labor, and electricity to see what a weld job really costs — broken down by component, totalled per job, and reduced to a cost per foot of weld
⚡ Weld Amperage Calculator
Get a starting-point amperage range for MIG, TIG, or stick from your electrode or wire diameter and the base-metal thickness, using typical manufacturer charts for mild steel
🛢️ Gas Consumption Calculator
Work out how much shielding gas a job burns from your flow rate and arc time — total cubic feet, cost, and how much of a cylinder you'll go through
🧵 Filler Metal Calculator
Estimate the deposited-metal weight from the joint size and weld length, then the wire, rod, or electrode to buy once deposition losses are counted
✂️ Cut Yield Calculator
See how many parts you get from a length of stock once the saw or plasma kerf is counted — pieces per bar, end drop, waste percentage, and the bars a full order needs
