Why round the ends?

Rounded ends don’t snag, look finished and are kinder to hands, cables and paintwork. Racetrack plates are used as handle and hinge blanks, link plates and straps, mounting and wear strips, gate latches and keeps, and tidy weld-on tabs.

Choose your material

• Mild steel: the economical choice. Paint, prime or galvanise it for outdoor use.
• 304 stainless: the everyday stainless grade for indoor and sheltered outdoor use.
• 316 stainless: best near the coast, pools, salt or chemicals. 304 vs 316 explained.

Questions

Is the length measured end to end?
Yes. Length is the overall length, including both rounded ends.

How much does a 300 × 50 mm plate weigh?
About 0.34 kg in 3 mm mild steel.

Are these laser cut?
No. They are plasma cut and deburred, so edges show a plasma-cut finish and are not held to laser-cut tolerances. For tight-tolerance parts, send us a drawing.
