Fabora: Steel & Metal Tools

One toolbox for steel and metal weight, weld settings, pipe offsets, bolt circle holes, cut lists, nesting, beam checks and flat patterns. Works offline, no sign-up.

Steel beam checks, MIG, TIG and stick weld settings, and metal weights on one screen: 21 fabrication calculators plus workshop reference libraries, built for welders, fabricators and metal workers. Everything works fully offline, no account, no sign-up.

ALL 21 TOOLS

• Steel beam calculator: quick checks for moment, shear, deflection and section sizing by region
• Welding calculator: starting amps, wire size, shielding gas and heat input for MIG, TIG, stick (MMA) and FCAW

Weld settings are starting points and beam figures are quick checks, not certified engineering. Always confirm against your own checks, material data and a qualified engineer where required.
