Fractional Plates

[blandrick]

Contact the forum member, 'Dan Miller' about making you a set of steel (imperial weight) fractional plates. IIRC, he charges about $25 shipped, maybe more if you are APO/FPO.

Here's the link to the thread for pics and contact info.

Damn. That's pretty sick. May have to do that. Thanks!

Cool. Thanks.

I understand there are DIY options. I just don't want to go that route. I want to be able to grab my plates, know how much weight is there, and do my workout. I like to keep things simple.

Just trying to save you money, pal. There's not too much diy involved when you buy a few washers, but if you want something that says Rogue or looks cool, then I guess they're not for you.

I finally got around to buying a set of 4, 2" inner diameter washers from Fastenal, and every one of them is EXACTLY 0.625lbs, making each set of 2 exactly 1.25lbs. I was shocked at how precise they are. I used a couple of different scales, including an analog and a digital and each plate got the same exact reading each time.

I wish I had seen the custom plates by Dan Miller sooner. I'm happy with my Fastenal washer-plates, but I'm going to buy some from Dan to keep at my home gym and for my wife to use. The Fastenals will be out into my gym bag for when I am away from home.

Another option is CFF, there fractional set is also $50 but the shipping is free to save a couple more bucks.
