Shop Support Plates Learn The Basics
Woody's support plates:
- Act as a fastening device for studs
- Are composed of high-grade, lightweight aluminum
- Disperse the load of pressure exerted on each stud
- Are domed to trap the track and hold studs rigid
- Must be paired with the appropriate equipment:
- Single-ply plates with single-ply studs and tracks
- Two-ply plates with two-ply studs and tracks
- Hole sizes with corresponding stud shank size
Deviating from Woody's support plate recommendations can result in track failure.
