Precision Alignment Shims

This pack contains five stainless steel slotted shims designed for precise spacing and alignment tasks. Each piece measures two inches square with a thickness of 0.125 inches. The soft annealed temper allows easy bending or trimming on site. They suit mechanics, machinists and maintenance crews needing reliable flat stock.

Dimensional Tolerance Limits

Thickness is held to ±0.003 inches while length and width stay within ±0.015 inches. The 5/8 inch slot width and 1 9/32 inch slot depth fix the maximum bolt or stud diameter that can pass through. The half-inch tab height limits how far the shim can be inserted under a clamped joint. Buyers needing tighter flatness or larger slot clearance must look elsewhere.

18-8 Stainless Steel Grade

The 18-8 alloy provides general corrosion resistance in indoor and mild outdoor environments. It is non-magnetic in the annealed condition and cannot be hardened by heat treatment. Applications exposed to chlorides, acids or sustained high loads require a different alloy.
