Precision Brand 16800 Steel Shim Stock Roll 0.008 in Thick

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 16800 is a steel shim stock roll used to fill gaps, set clearances, and align components in mechanical assemblies. At 0.008 inches thick and 6 inches wide with a total length of 180 inches, this roll gives technicians and machinists enough material to cut custom shims for a wide range of applications. The steel construction provides consistent thickness and dimensional stability under load. Installers can cut, score, and bend the stock to fit tight spaces where precise tolerances are required.

Steel shim stock in roll form is commonly used in industrial maintenance, HVAC equipment alignment, pump and motor mounting, and general mechanical service work. The 0.008-inch gauge is a frequently specified thickness for fine-tolerance adjustments on rotating equipment, bearing fits, and flange gaps. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and HVAC service professionals typically keep assorted gauges of shim stock on hand for field and shop use.

Key Features

• 0.008-inch thickness for fine-tolerance gap filling and alignment work
• 6-inch width allows cutting of wide shim sections without splicing
• 180-inch roll length provides ample material for multiple jobs
• Steel construction delivers consistent thickness and load-bearing stability
• Roll format enables on-site cutting to any required length or shape

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose steel shim stock roll suitable for mechanical alignment, gap setting, and tolerance adjustment across a broad range of industrial and HVAC service applications.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically cut with snips, a utility knife, or a shear to the required shape before installation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling and trimming steel shim stock, as edges can be sharp. Relieve mechanical loads and follow lockout/tagout procedures before inserting shims into load-bearing assemblies. Verify final clearance or alignment with appropriate gauges after shimming.
