John B Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Looks like it could be part of a machine's base, but irrespective of that, rather than weld a piece to it, I would go for bolting the plate to it, either use the existing holes, or drill and tap, use countersunk headed bolts (allen key type would be best) then if you want to adapt it, or return to its original state you can easily do so., If the surface is uneven make a leather or rubber gasket for it or bed the plate down on mastic Also, it looks like a casting, cast iron to steel does not weld well easily Good luck with the project whatever you decide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
