Maudlin Products 008-6-100 Stainless Shim Stock Roll

Product Description

The MAUDLIN PRODUCTS 008-6-100 is a full-hard stainless steel shim stock roll used for precision spacing, alignment, and gap adjustment in mechanical and structural assemblies. The roll measures 6 inches wide by 100 inches long with a nominal thickness of 0.008 inches and a thickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.0005 inches. Material is 302/304 stainless steel, which provides corrosion resistance and non-magnetic properties suited to food-grade, marine, and industrial environments. Machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals install this material when exact clearance control is required.

This shim stock roll is used in residential and commercial mechanical installations where precise component alignment is critical. Typical applications include leveling machinery bases, setting bearing clearances, aligning pump flanges, and shimming HVAC equipment mounting pads. The full-hard temper rating means the material holds its thickness under compressive load without deforming, making it appropriate for high-load static shim applications. The 100-inch roll length allows multiple cuts from a single piece, reducing waste on multi-point shimming jobs.

Key Features

• 302/304 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemically active environments
• Non-magnetic material suitable for sensitive electrical and electronic equipment installations
• Full-hard temper maintains dimensional stability under compressive load
• Tight thickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.0005 inches for precision fitment
• 100-inch roll length supports multiple cuts from a single piece
• 6-inch width accommodates wide flanges and large bearing surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose precision shim stock for mechanical alignment and spacing tasks across industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and structural applications where 302/304 stainless steel material is specified.

Installation Notes

Cut shim stock using aviation snips, a shim cutter, or a metal shear - avoid tools that deform the cut edge, as edge deformation can introduce thickness variation at the shim zone. De-burr cut edges before installation to prevent injury and ensure flat seating against mating surfaces. Power down or isolate any equipment being shimmed before adjusting clearances, following applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify final clearance with a calibrated feeler gauge after installation.
