{"product_id":"ring-reducing-plate-double-sided-17-27mm-16-choices-italian","title":"Ring Reducing Plate","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis high-quality, double-sided reducing plate features sixteen openings — eight per side — and is smoothly polished to prevent marring of precious metal bands. Each hole shares the same starting diameter but offers a different taper on each side, giving you 16 distinct reduction choices from a single 8-hole plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary application for this reducing plate is the slight size reduction of plain round precious metal wedding bands in gold or platinum. It is designed to fit the Italian-made ring stretcher and reducer (item 148.350), which uses a round plate that presses down on the ring as the tool lever is pulled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen reducing ring sizes, the 27mm outside diameter of the largest hole can reduce a USA size 13–14 plain domed band of medium weight by a full size. Note that the outside diameter of the ring is the limiting factor — not the nominal ring size of the band. This plate is also well suited for making coin rings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-sided design with 8 holes per side — 16 taper choices total\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach hole begins at the same diameter with a different taper on each side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmoothly polished finish prevents marring of precious metal surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for use with the Italian-made ring stretcher and reducer (148.350)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for reducing plain round gold and platinum wedding bands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso used for coin ring fabrication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNickel plated steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in Italy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNumber of Holes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 holes, 2 tapers, 16 choices\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHole Outside Diameters\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17mm–27mm (11\/16\" – 1-1\/16\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCenter Mounting Hole\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatible Tool\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRing Stretcher and Reducer 148.350\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNotes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe outside diameter of the ring — not its nominal ring size — determines which hole can be used.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe largest hole (27mm outside diameter) is suitable for reducing a USA size 13–14 plain domed band of medium weight by approximately one full size.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is the same reducing plate included with the 148.350 ring stretcher and reducer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OMO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43581230973142,"sku":"148.352","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9832\/0342\/files\/ring-reducing-plate-otto-frei.jpg?v=1719957645","url":"https:\/\/www.ottofrei.com\/products\/ring-reducing-plate-double-sided-17-27mm-16-choices-italian","provider":"Otto Frei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
