The detail
Deep dish plates are a deliberately retro design, and the specification that defines them is width: a 45 lb plate at 1.97 inches, which is roughly twice the thickness of a modern flat cast plate and comparable to a bumper. The dish — the recessed centre — is what makes them thick, and it is also what makes them easy to pick up off the floor.
Publishing a width for every size is genuinely useful and almost nobody does it. Width is what determines whether your bar's loadable sleeve holds what you need: at 1.97 inches per 45, a 16-inch sleeve takes eight per side, and the arithmetic only works if the manufacturer tells you the number.
Note the oddity in the table: the 25 lb and 35 lb plates are the same width at 1.35 inches. The 35 gets its extra weight from diameter rather than thickness, which is worth knowing if you were planning on width alone.
These are iron, not bumpers, and the usual rules apply. Do not drop a loaded bar — you will damage the plates, the bar and the floor, in that order. And do not mix them with bumpers on the same bar; different diameters put uneven stress on the shaft. If you deadlift and let go at the top, buy bumpers instead.
The 50 mm collar opening is standard and will slide onto any Olympic sleeve.
Rogue does not publish a weight tolerance or the individual plate diameters here, and "diameter varies" is the honest statement of what deep dish plates do — they are not uniform. If you want accuracy, calibrated plates like REP's at ±10 g are the different product.
