Precision Brand 17160 Brass Shim Stock 0.0015in 6x100in Roll

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 17160 is a brass shim stock roll designed for precision shimming, spacing, and clearance applications across industrial and trade settings. Manufactured from 260 alloy brass in a half-hard, cold-rolled temper, this roll measures 0.0015 inches thick and 6 inches wide with a total length of 100 inches. The cold-rolled process produces a consistent thickness and smooth surface finish, which is critical when establishing tight tolerances in mechanical assemblies. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians typically work with this material when fitting bearings, aligning equipment, or filling gaps in mechanical joints.

This shim stock roll suits a wide range of industrial maintenance and manufacturing environments. It is cut to length on the job, making it a flexible solution for both planned maintenance and field repair work. The 260 alloy brass composition offers good corrosion resistance and machinability, making it appropriate for applications where mild chemical exposure or moisture is a factor. Typical uses include machinery alignment, die-setting, and precision gap control in both light and heavy industrial contexts.

Key Features

• 260 alloy brass construction for good corrosion resistance and machinability
• Half-hard, cold-rolled temper provides consistent thickness and surface uniformity
• 0.0015-inch thickness suits fine-tolerance shimming and clearance work
• 6-inch width by 100-inch length roll allows field cutting to required dimensions
• Uniform gauge throughout the roll supports repeatable results in precision assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose brass shim stock roll suitable for industrial maintenance, machinery alignment, and precision fabrication applications where 260 alloy half-hard brass material is specified.

Installation Notes

Cut shim stock to the required size using metal shears, tin snips, or a utility knife guided by a straightedge. De-burr cut edges before installation to prevent damage to mating surfaces or injury during handling. Follow the equipment manufacturer's tolerances and clearance specifications when determining shim thickness. Wear appropriate cut-resistant gloves when handling or trimming metal shim stock.
