Precision Brand 16155 Shim Stock Roll 0.0015 in 1010 Steel

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 16155 is a roll of low carbon steel shim stock used to fill gaps, adjust clearances, and align components in mechanical assemblies. The roll measures 0.0015 inches thick, 6 inches wide, and 100 inches long, giving technicians ample material to cut custom shims to length in the field. It is manufactured from 1010 low carbon steel, which offers good formability and consistent gauge across the full roll length. This shim stock is a staple in maintenance, manufacturing, and industrial service work where precise fit-up tolerances are required.

This roll suits a wide range of applications including machine alignment, bearing fits, fixture building, and component spacing in HVAC equipment, pumps, motors, and general mechanical assemblies. Its 0.0015-inch thickness makes it appropriate for very fine tolerance adjustments. The 6-inch width allows shims to be cut to almost any profile using standard shop shears or snips. Technicians working in industrial maintenance, millwright, and mechanical service roles routinely stock rolls like this for on-the-spot shimming work.

Key Features

• 0.0015-inch thickness for fine-tolerance gap and clearance adjustments
• 100-inch roll length provides generous stock for multiple cuts
• 6-inch width accommodates a wide variety of shim profiles
• 1010 low carbon steel construction offers good formability and consistent gauge
• Roll format allows field cutting to any required length or shape

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose shim stock roll suitable for mechanical alignment and gap-filling applications across industrial, HVAC, and mechanical service work wherever 0.0015-inch steel shim material is specified.

Installation Notes

Shim stock should be cut using sharp metal shears or tin snips to prevent edge burrs that could affect fit. Deburr cut edges before installation to avoid damage to mating surfaces or injury during handling. Always verify final assembled clearance with a feeler gauge after shimming to confirm the target tolerance has been met. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling thin steel stock.
