Precision Brand 16915 Steel Shim Stock 0.031in 18x6in 10pc

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 16915 is a flat steel shim stock sheet used to fill gaps, align machinery, and set precise clearances in mechanical assemblies. Each sheet measures 18 inches long by 6 inches wide and 0.031 inches thick, made from 1008/1010 low carbon steel. This grade offers good formability and consistent thickness tolerance, making it suitable for controlled shimming work where stack height or alignment must be held tightly. Licensed machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the primary users. Each package contains 10 sheets. At 9.93 pounds per package, the stock has enough mass to handle without flexing out of position during fitment.

Steel shim stock in this thickness range is commonly used in industrial maintenance, machine tool alignment, conveyor and pump base leveling, die and mold setting, and fixture fabrication. The 18-inch by 6-inch sheet size gives enough material to cut custom shim profiles with snips, a shear, or a laser. The 1008/1010 low carbon steel composition is weldable and machinable, allowing secondary operations after initial fitment. This product is well suited to both production shop environments and field service applications where consistent dimensional accuracy is required.

Key Features

• 0.031-inch thickness for precise gap and clearance control
• 1008/1010 low carbon steel construction — machinable, formable, and weldable
• 18 inches x 6 inches sheet size allows on-site cutting to custom profiles
• 10 sheets per package for multi-use or repeat shimming tasks
• Consistent thickness tolerance supports accurate stack-up shimming

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose steel shim stock sheet for mechanical alignment and gap-filling applications across industrial, maintenance, and fabrication settings.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically installed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using hand tools or a shear to cut sheets to the required profile. Deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent injury and to ensure flat, flush seating. Power down and lock out any machinery before placing or adjusting shims in rotating or high-load assemblies. Verify final stack thickness with a calibrated micrometer before returning equipment to service.
