Free Brackets & Machine Parts vector files

Gussets, mounting plates, gears and shop jigs.

  • 0 files

The unglamorous files that keep a workshop running. Mounting plates, gussets, tensioner brackets and replacement gears, all dimensioned to common hardware: M6, M8 and M10 clearances rather than nominal diameters.

Hole centres are given on a scored dimension layer so you can verify them against your machine before committing plate. Nothing here is safety-critical rated — treat lifting and structural parts as prototypes and have them checked.

Gears are drawn as a simplified cycloidal profile suitable for low-speed shop mechanisms, not for power transmission. Print one in 3 mm ply first and check the mesh before cutting steel.

Brackets & Machine Parts — questions we get

2 answers
01Are the hole sizes nominal or clearance?

Clearance. An M8 hole is drawn at 9 mm for plasma and 8.5 mm for laser or routed versions, which accounts for the wider kerf and dross on the bottom edge.

02Can I use these gears in a gearbox?

For hand-cranked and low-load shop mechanisms, yes. They are not involute-profile transmission gears and should not be used where tooth strength is safety relevant.
