Maudlin Products 316-004-6-50 Shim Stock Roll 316 Ss

Product Description

The MAUDLIN PRODUCTS 316-004-6-50 is a precision shim stock roll manufactured from Type 316 stainless steel, a 17/12 chrome-nickel alloy known for its corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The roll measures 0.004 inches thick, 6 inches wide, and 50 inches long, providing a generous working length for cutting custom shims to fit. This material is used by machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians who need reliable, repeatable shim stock for alignment, leveling, and spacing applications in industrial and mechanical settings.

This shim stock roll is suited for applications where tight dimensional tolerances and corrosion resistance are required. Type 316 stainless steel performs well in wet, chemical, or marine-adjacent environments where standard 304 alloy may be insufficient. It is commonly used in equipment alignment, pump and motor base shimming, flange gap filling, and precision machinery setup. The 50-inch roll length allows technicians to cut multiple shims from a single piece, reducing material waste on the job.

Key Features

• Type 316 stainless steel construction - 17/12 chrome-nickel alloy for superior corrosion resistance
• 0.004-inch thickness for fine-tolerance shimming and gap adjustment
• 6-inch width and 50-inch roll length provide ample stock for multiple cuts
• Roll format allows field cutting to custom lengths and shapes
• Suitable for wet, chemical-exposed, and high-humidity service environments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose shim stock roll for industrial maintenance, equipment alignment, and precision mechanical assembly applications requiring Type 316 stainless steel material.

Installation Notes

Cut shim stock using aviation snips, metal shears, or a sharp utility knife against a straightedge on a stable work surface. Deburr cut edges before installation to prevent injury and to ensure flat, even contact between mating surfaces. Always relieve equipment of load and follow applicable lockout/tagout procedures before inserting shims under live machinery. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling sheet metal stock.
