Precision Brand 16820 Steel Shim Stock 0.002 in 18x6 in 10 Pc

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 16820 is a flat shim stock sheet made from 1008/1010 low carbon steel, designed for precision shimming, spacing, and alignment tasks in mechanical and industrial applications. Each sheet measures 0.002 inches thick, 18 inches long, and 6 inches wide, offering consistent thickness tolerance across the full surface. This package includes 10 sheets. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians use shim stock to achieve precise clearances and level or align equipment components during installation and repair work.

This shim stock is suited for general-purpose shimming in manufacturing facilities, machine shops, and maintenance environments. It works well for setting bearing clearances, aligning shafts and couplings, leveling machinery bases, and filling gaps in mechanical assemblies. The low carbon steel construction makes it easy to cut and form with standard shop tools. Each sheet provides a flat, uniform surface that holds consistent thickness across its full length and width.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style replacement and maintenance shim stock for use in mechanical assemblies, machine alignment, and gap-filling applications across industrial and shop environments.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically handled by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians. Cut sheets to the required shape using tin snips, a shear, or a utility knife on a safe cutting surface. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before inserting or adjusting shims in any mechanical assembly. Wear appropriate cut-resistant gloves when handling thin metal sheet stock, as edges can be sharp.
