Weght limit for SolidSteel shelf/cones?

Magister- I just placed the maple shelf on the cones, no countersinking. There's enough weight to hold it in place. If you do want to countersink the spot where the cones rest, put the shelf on the cones and position it where you want it permanently. Mark the cone locations then use a Forstner bit slightly larger than the size of the cone top to drill out the countersink. The Forstner bit is the only bit which will drill a flat bottom hole.

I had a bat vk-75se (90-100 lbs) on the top of a 5.2 and the shelf did not flex at all. Just use it and don't worry.

Nothing to worry about. Those shelves and cones are solid!
I've never had a problem with any amount of weights and those little points are just as sharp as ever!

If it falls you'll have a good excuse for upgrading .

Thanks again for all the info -- looks like there is nothing to worry about.
