OVERVIEW

Reliable Marking for the Shop Floor

Every welder knows that a good weld starts with a good layout, and for that, you need a marker you can trust. The FS1 Flat Soapstone is the classic choice for getting your lines down on steel without the hassle. This box of 144 ensures you have plenty of stock for the whole crew, so you aren't scrambling when your last piece snaps or gets lost. The white mark pops clearly against dark mill scale, rusty iron, or clean steel, giving you a guide that is easy to follow even when your hood is down.

Why go with flat soapstone? It stays put. If you are working on a table that isn't perfectly level or you are up on a beam, the last thing you want is your marker rolling away. The flat shape anchors it in place. Plus, it fits securely in standard flat holders, giving you extra reach and preventing breakage in your pocket. You can grind a sharp edge on it for precise fit-up lines or use the wide face when you just need to mark a cut line quickly. It is versatile, simple, and it works.

Most importantly, this stuff takes the heat. When you bring the torch or the stinger close, paint markers can burn off and disappear right when you need them most. Soapstone hangs tough near the arc, so your line is still there while you are tacking. And because it is natural stone, it won't mess up your weld chemistry. No porosity, no contamination—just a clean mark that wipes off when the job is done.

Why Welders Prefer FS1:

  • High Visibility: clear white lines on black iron and steel.
  • No Rolling: Flat shape stays where you put it.
  • Heat Proof: Won't fade out when things get hot.
  • Easy Cleanup: Wipes off easily after the job is finished.

FAQ
