Product Details
Weight is weight, right? But what if I told you your sloppy, 45lb plates you got for your 16th birthday from the local big box store were lying to you? The process of casting molten hot iron into molds can be fickle.
Machined iron plates are cast in a specialty casting factory with over 40 years of experience, then finished on a lathe that shaves off excessive weight from the back of the plate, followed by polishing and machining edges for an even smoother, more aesthetic plate.
The machined plates have a guaranteed tolerance of +/- 1% for 45, 35, and 25 and +/- 3% for 15, 10, 5, and 2.5. But we don't stop there; the holes of the plates are cast smaller than the Olympic bar sleeve diameter of 2 inch/50mm to start, then are drilled out with a guaranteed precision hole fit of 50.5mm +.4mm tolerance, meaning your plates fit snug and erect on your bar. Finally, these beauties are 20% slimmer than other weight plates to fit more on your barbell.
If you're looking for an excellent quality but more economical plate, be sure to check out the Mighty Grip Iron Plates.

- AAlisterRated 4 out of 5 stars1 year agoGreat plates, poor shipping
I ordered 2 pairs of 25lb plates and one pair of 10s, and they're all within the 1% tolerance. I give them 5 stars on that front. One of the 10lb plates has a small manufacturing defect, but it's no big deal. The 2 25lb pairs shipped separately, and they both arrived in pretty beat up packaging. The first package was literally falling apart. The second was just beat up and tearing. 3 of the 4 25s ended up with chipping from the rough delivery. I'm overall very happy with them, but i have to withhold a star for all of the chipping. It's unclear if this was UPS's fault or if they just needed better packaging.
Bells of Steel USAHi Alister, Thank you for reviewing our machined olympic plates. We are happy to hear you have been satisfied with these overall. We are sorry to hear about the beat up packaging and chipping caused to your new equipment. We will be reaching out shortly regarding this. Sincerely, Marcus & the BoS team - DDakotaRated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoUpgrading to bells of steel and love it
I’ve slowly been upgrading my home gym to bells of steel products because of the quality and my gym is in my home so we need it to look good! So far I’ve upgraded my plates to 490lbs of the grey machined plates, the FID bench and the 50-100-150-200lb sand bags and everything has been amazing! It’s also nice supporting a Canadian company instead of marketplace scalpers. Next on the list is a new bar and rack
Bells of Steel USAHey Dakota, Thank you for the amazing review and your support! We are so happy to be a part of your amazing home gym and your journey to do some strongman shows! Keep making those gainz! Yours in strength, William - JTJeff T.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoAwesome Plates
I was in the market for some new plates that would have better accuracy to the displayed weight as my old ones were not close. After looking around online I settled on the Bells of Steel Machined 45lbs plates. I wish I could have gotten these when I first started building my gym.
I made an order for 6 sets of 45’s and did pick up. The custom set options helped to knock some of the cost down. Attending to pick them up was easy and seem less. Plates were packed well and I don’t believe there was any damage from where they are manufactured to the store.
I found the solid grey to not be the best looking but I did buy some oil markers and coloured the letters.
There was some marks and blemishes on the plates which seemed to be during manufacturing.
The main reason I wanted these plates was due to the claim that their advertised weight is extremely close with not costing competition plate prices. Bells of Steel nailed this out of the park. In weighing all 12 plates they all had a weight of 45.2lbs. On the bar the weights don’t have a lot of play or movement and I have found this makes deadlift a lot quieter even with all the plates on the bar.
I am very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend these plates for people building a home gym for general fitness or for people who are looking to compete in weightlifting sports. I will be looking to get some some sets of 25-2.5 lbs plates in the future.
Bells of Steel has always been awesome to deal with and in past…

Bells of Steel USABrent, Thank you for the great review. Glad you love the plates and they look great in your home gym setup. - EHErik H.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoExceptional quality for the price
Minimal slop when adding them to the bar or IM 2000. Shipped fast, priced far better than the equivalent Rogue offering (and I like Rogue too).
