Shim-stock dimensions and material

This roll measures twelve inches wide by fifty inches long and is six thousandths of an inch thick. It is made from 18-8 stainless steel hardened to a full-hard temper with a plain finish. The material meets AISI T302, ASTM A666 and SAE 30302 quality standards. Width tolerance is held to plus or minus point zero one zero inches.

Typical uses and limitations

Suitable for alignment tasks, machine repair and maintenance, mounting work, new machine assembly and tool-and-die setup. The roll format lets you cut custom shapes on site. Not suited for buyers who need pre-cut shims, adhesive backing or non-metallic materials. Thickness tolerance of plus or minus ten percent may be too wide for ultra-precision spacing.

Thickness tolerance decides fit

The six-thousandth-inch nominal thickness carries a plus or minus ten percent tolerance, so actual thickness can vary between point zero zero five four and point zero zero six six inches. Verify that this range meets your stack-up requirements before ordering. Length tolerance is plus three inches minus point two five inches.

Questions about this item

How flat does the .006" stainless stay after repeated bending in a tool-and-die setup?

The 18-8 stainless is full-hard temper and meets AISI-T302 and ASTM-A-666, so it resists permanent set under normal alignment and machine-repair loads.

Does the roll generate noticeable heat or noise when left in a vibrating assembly all day?

It is a passive metal shim with no moving parts, so it produces no noise or heat during continuous use.

What tools are needed to cut the 12" x 50" roll to the final shim size?

Standard metal shears, a bandsaw or a laser cutter will cleanly trim the full-hard stainless to the required dimensions.
