Maudlin Products 316-002-6-100 Shim Stock Roll 316 Ss

Product Description

The MAUDLIN PRODUCTS 316-002-6-100 is a precision shim stock roll manufactured from Type 316 stainless steel, a 17/12 chrome-nickel alloy known for its superior corrosion resistance compared to standard 304-grade material. The roll measures 0.002 inches thick, 6 inches wide, and 100 inches long, providing ample material for shimming, spacing, and leveling applications across a wide range of mechanical and industrial environments. At 0.002 inches, this is an ultra-thin gauge suited for fine tolerance work. Machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians use shim stock rolls like this to achieve precise clearances and alignments during equipment installation and servicing.

This shim stock roll is suited for applications where corrosion resistance is a priority, such as marine environments, chemical processing facilities, food-service equipment, and HVAC or plumbing installations exposed to moisture or harsh conditions. The 6-inch width and 100-inch length allow the material to be cut to custom sizes on the job. Typical uses include bearing and shaft alignment, machinery leveling, gap filling between mating surfaces, and fabrication of custom spacers. The 316 stainless alloy performs reliably in both indoor and outdoor service conditions.

Key Features

• Type 316 stainless steel construction - 17/12 chrome-nickel alloy with enhanced corrosion resistance
• Ultra-thin 0.002-inch gauge for fine tolerance and precision clearance work
• 100-inch roll length allows field cutting to required dimensions
• 6-inch width accommodates a broad range of shimming and spacing applications
• Single-piece roll format minimizes waste and simplifies storage

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose shim stock roll for use in mechanical, industrial, and trade applications requiring precision stainless steel shimming material.

Installation Notes

Cut shim stock using aviation snips, a sharp utility knife with a straightedge, or metal shears appropriate for thin-gauge stainless steel. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling cut edges, as thin stainless stock can be sharp. Degrease mating surfaces before installing shims to ensure accurate seating and prevent slippage. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and relevant trade codes when performing alignment or leveling work.
