Patterns for the Top Plate and the Pot Skirt. Units are mm. Click “Download DXF”. Print sheet included.
Material & notes: 304 stainless (top plate 1.6 mm, skirt 0.8–1.0 mm). Deburr after cut. Avoid galvanized in hot paths.
How to use: Preview SVG. If the outer squares look correct (130 mm for plate, 360×120 mm for skirt), hit Download DXF. Import to your CAM with units = mm.

Assembly Notes
- Deburr edges; dry-fit to verify the 12 mm pot-skirt gap.
- Use SS rivets/bolts; add anti-seize on threads.
- Keep holes center-punched so they align post-roll.
- Confirm your pot diameter; adjust skirt width if needed.
Safety: outdoors only; hot edges; eye protection; no galvanized sheet in hot gas path.
CAM / Fab Tips
- Import DXF with units set to mm. Kerf-compensate per your laser/waterjet.
- For press-brake pot tabs (if you add bendable tabs to the plate), put bend lines on a non-cut layer (e.g., ETCH) and set your machine to etch/mark, not cut.
- Skirt seam: use 3.2 mm SS rivets through the Ø3.5 holes; clamp tight so the ring stays true.
