Precision Brand 16700 Steel Shim Stock Roll 0.001 in Thick

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 16700 is a steel shim stock roll designed for precision spacing, alignment, and shimming tasks across mechanical and industrial applications. At 0.001 inches thick, this roll delivers the fine tolerance control that machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians require when fitting bearings, aligning shafts, or correcting clearances in close-tolerance assemblies. The roll measures 180 inches long and 6 inches wide, giving the installer ample material to cut custom shims to the exact dimensions the job demands. Weighing 0.4 pounds, it is easy to handle and store at a workbench or in a service kit.

This shim stock roll is suited for general industrial maintenance, machine tool alignment, pump and motor alignment, and precision fabrication work. The roll format allows technicians to cut strips or blanks to any required length using snips or a shim cutter, making it versatile across a wide range of equipment types found in manufacturing plants, mechanical rooms, and field service environments.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose steel shim stock roll suitable for precision alignment and spacing applications across mechanical, industrial, and maintenance trade work.

Installation Notes

Shim stock should be cut using aviation snips, a shim cutter, or bench shears to achieve clean, burr-free edges. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling thin steel stock, as edges can be sharp. Always verify final clearance or alignment with appropriate gauging instruments after shimming. Deburr cut edges before installation in any dynamic or rotating assembly.
