Precision Brand 16670 Steel Shim Stock Roll 0.031in 12in Wide

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 16670 is a low carbon steel shim stock roll used to fill gaps, set clearances, and align components in mechanical assemblies. Measuring 0.031 inches thick, 12 inches wide, and 120 inches long, this roll provides substantial working material for high-volume or repeated shimming tasks. The 1010 low carbon steel construction delivers consistent thickness tolerance and enough ductility to cut, punch, or form without cracking. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians reach for this stock when precise spacing or leveling is required across a range of industrial and commercial applications.

This shim stock roll is suited for use in manufacturing facilities, maintenance shops, and field service environments where component alignment, machine leveling, or bearing clearance adjustment is part of routine work. The 12-inch width and 120-inch length allow technicians to cut custom shim sizes to fit specific machinery or structural needs without waste. Applications include aligning pumps, motors, gearboxes, compressor bases, and general mechanical equipment where tight dimensional control is necessary.

Key Features

• 0.031-inch thickness provides a specific, repeatable gap or clearance dimension
• 1010 low carbon steel offers good ductility for cutting and forming without cracking
• 120-inch roll length yields ample material for multiple shim cuts per roll
• 12-inch width accommodates wide components or multiple narrow shims cut in parallel
• Roll format minimizes storage footprint and allows on-demand sizing in the field or shop

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style replacement and maintenance shim stock for use in industrial, commercial, and mechanical service applications requiring 0.031-inch steel shimming material.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically cut to size using aviation snips, a metal shear, or a die punch before installation. Always de-energize, lock out, and tag out any equipment before inserting or adjusting shims in rotating or pressurized machinery. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling and cutting metal shim stock, as edges can be sharp. Verify final clearance or alignment with appropriate measuring tools such as feeler gauges or dial indicators after shimming.
