Precision Brand 16425 Steel Shim Stock Roll 0.009 in 1010

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 16425 is a low carbon steel shim stock roll used to fill gaps, set clearances, and align components in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from 1010 low carbon steel, it measures 0.009 inches thick, 12 inches wide, and 120 inches long. The roll format allows technicians to cut shims to the exact length needed for each application, reducing material waste and improving fit precision. Machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and industrial mechanics regularly work with shim stock of this type when performing equipment alignment, leveling, and tolerance adjustment tasks.

This shim stock roll is suited for light to medium-duty shimming applications where a consistent, workable low carbon steel material is required. Common uses include machine base leveling, bearing housing alignment, die and mold setup, and general fabrication work. The 12-inch width accommodates a wide range of part sizes, and the 120-inch length provides enough material for multiple cuts across a project. The 0.009-inch thickness falls within the thin-gauge range, making it appropriate for fine tolerance work where small incremental adjustments are critical.

Key Features

• 1010 low carbon steel construction offers consistent machinability and formability
• 0.009-inch gauge provides fine tolerance adjustment capability
• 12-inch width accommodates a broad range of component sizes
• 120-inch roll length yields sufficient material for multiple shim cuts
• Roll format allows field or shop trimming to any required length

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose shim stock roll for mechanical alignment, leveling, and tolerance-setting applications across industrial and maintenance environments.

Installation Notes

Shim stock installation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance mechanics. Ensure all equipment is de-energized and mechanically locked out before inserting or removing shims from load-bearing or power-transmission assemblies. Use appropriate metal-cutting shears, snips, or a die punch to cut shim material cleanly and avoid sharp burrs. Handle thin-gauge steel stock with cut-resistant gloves to prevent laceration injuries.
