Precision Brand 16680 Steel Shim Stock Sheet Assortment

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 16680 is a 12-piece steel shim stock sheet assortment used for precision shimming, leveling, and alignment work across mechanical and industrial service applications. Each sheet measures 12 inches long by 6 inches wide and the set spans a thickness range of 0.001 to 0.015 inches, giving technicians a graduated selection of gauges in a single kit. The sheets are manufactured from steel, providing the rigidity and dimensional stability required for close-tolerance fitting work. This assortment is well suited for trade professionals who need multiple thickness options on hand without sourcing individual gauges separately.

This assortment is used in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and general industrial maintenance settings where precise gap control is required. Typical applications include shimming pump bases, aligning motor mounts, setting bearing clearances, and leveling equipment during installation or service. The graduated thickness range makes it practical for both rough alignment passes and fine final adjustments on the same job.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically cut to size using aviation snips, a steel rule and scribe, or a bench shear before installation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling and trimming thin steel sheet stock, as edges can be sharp. De-energize or lock out equipment before inserting or adjusting shims in any mechanical assembly. Follow equipment manufacturer torque and alignment specifications when finalizing any shimmed joint.
