Questions about this item

How thin is the finest shim in this assortment and what tolerance should I expect when setting a precise gap?

The thinnest shim is .001 in thick with a tolerance of +.001/+ .125 in, so the actual thickness can be slightly above the nominal value.

What does the 7/8 in slot width mean for the bolts or studs I can use with these shims?

The 7/8 in slot clears fasteners up to that diameter, letting you slide the shim onto bolts or studs without removing them.

Will the 3 in by 3 in overall size and 5/8 in tab height fit inside my machine's adjustment pocket?

Each shim measures 3 in by 3 in overall with a 5/8 in tab height and 1 1/2 in tab width, so check your pocket against those dimensions.
