Precision Brand 16355 Steel Shim Stock Roll 0.006 in 1010

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 16355 is a roll of low carbon steel shim stock used for precision shimming, spacing, and alignment tasks in mechanical, industrial, and trade applications. The roll measures 120 inches long by 12 inches wide with a uniform thickness of 0.006 inches, offering a large working area for cutting custom shim profiles on the job. Manufactured from 1010 low carbon steel, this material provides consistent thickness tolerance, good formability, and adequate strength for light-load shimming and leveling work. At 3.5 pounds, the roll is easy to handle and store in a shop or service vehicle.

This shim stock roll is suited for HVAC equipment leveling, mechanical alignment, bearing fits, and general fabrication work where thin steel stock needs to be cut to a specific shape or size. Machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals use this type of stock when installing or realigning equipment bases, mounting plates, and flanged connections. The 12-inch width and 120-inch length provide enough material for multiple cuts across a wide range of job sizes.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically cut using aviation snips, a shim stock cutter, or a metal-cutting tool appropriate to the thickness. Deburr all cut edges before installation to avoid injury and to ensure a flush fit. When shimming rotating or load-bearing equipment, follow the equipment manufacturer's alignment specifications and torque requirements. Always de-energize or shut down the equipment being serviced before placing or adjusting shims.
