Precision Brand 16705 Steel Shim Stock Roll 0.0015 in Thick

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 16705 is a steel shim stock roll used to fill gaps, align machinery, and set precise clearances in mechanical assemblies. The roll measures 180 inches long and 6 inches wide, with a thickness of 0.0015 inches. At this gauge, the stock is thin enough for fine tolerance work where even a few thousandths of an inch make a difference. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians cut it to size on the job using standard shop shears or utility knives. Total weight is 0.6 pounds, making the roll easy to handle and store.

Steel shim stock at 0.0015 inches is commonly used in industrial and commercial maintenance settings for leveling equipment bases, shimming bearing housings, adjusting gear clearances, and aligning couplings. The 6-inch width gives enough material to trim custom shim shapes for most standard mechanical applications. It is well suited for situations where reusable or one-time shims are cut to match an irregular mating surface.

Key Features

• 0.0015-inch thickness for fine-tolerance shimming and gap adjustment
• 180-inch roll length provides ample material for multiple cuts
• 6-inch width accommodates a wide range of custom shim sizes
• Steel construction for durability under compressive load
• Lightweight at 0.6 pounds for easy handling and field use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose steel shim stock roll suitable for industrial machinery alignment, equipment leveling, and precision gap-filling applications across mechanical maintenance trades.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is cut to the required shape using shop shears, snips, or a sharp utility knife before installation. Always de-energize or lock out equipment per applicable safety procedures before shimming any moving or powered assembly. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling raw-edged steel stock. Verify final clearances with a calibrated feeler gauge after shimming.
