Precision Brand 16205 Shim Stock Roll 0.002 in 1010 Steel

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 16205 is a roll of 1010 low carbon steel shim stock used to fill gaps, set clearances, and align components in mechanical assemblies. At 0.002 inches thick, this shim material works where precise, thin tolerances are critical. The roll measures 120 inches long and 12 inches wide, giving technicians and machinists enough stock to cut multiple shims to custom shapes and sizes. It is well suited for industrial maintenance, machine alignment, and fabrication tasks where consistent material thickness and reliable steel quality are required.

This shim stock roll is used in manufacturing plants, maintenance shops, and mechanical service environments. Technicians cut it to size for bearing fits, housing alignments, fixture setups, and equipment leveling. The 1010 low carbon steel grade offers good formability and machinability, making it easy to shear, punch, or cut with standard tools. At 0.002 inches, this gauge is among the thinnest steel shim stock commonly used and is appropriate for fine-tolerance alignment work on presses, conveyors, pumps, and general industrial machinery.

Key Features

• 0.002 inch thickness for fine-tolerance gap filling and component alignment
• 120 inch roll length provides ample stock for multiple cuts
• 12 inch width accommodates a wide range of shim sizes
• 1010 low carbon steel construction offers good formability and machinability
• Roll format allows field or shop cutting to custom dimensions

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose steel shim stock suitable for industrial maintenance, machine tool alignment, and mechanical assembly applications where 0.002 inch steel shim material is specified.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically handled by millwrights, machinists, and industrial maintenance technicians. Use appropriate metal shears, aviation snips, or a punch press to cut the stock to the required shape. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling and cutting thin steel shim material, as edges can be sharp. Always verify the required clearance with calipers or a feeler gauge before and after shimming to confirm correct fitment.
