Precision Brand 17370 Brass Shim Stock 0.008in 6x100in Roll

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 17370 is a brass shim stock roll used for precision spacing, alignment, and shimming applications across mechanical and industrial trades. Manufactured from 260 alloy brass in a half-hard, cold-rolled temper, this roll measures 0.008 inches thick and 6 inches wide with 100 inches of usable length. The cold-rolled finish provides consistent thickness and a smooth surface suited for close-tolerance work. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians reach for this material when setting bearing clearances, aligning machinery, or filling gaps in assemblies where dimensional accuracy matters.

This shim stock roll is appropriate for general industrial maintenance, machine shop work, and mechanical assembly in both light manufacturing and heavy equipment environments. The 6 inches by 100 inches format gives technicians enough material to cut multiple shims from a single roll, reducing waste. The brass alloy is well-suited for applications requiring corrosion resistance or non-ferrous contact surfaces, including food-adjacent equipment, wet environments, and locations where steel shims would be unsuitable.

Key Features

• 260 alloy brass construction offers corrosion resistance and compatibility with non-ferrous contact requirements
• Half-hard, cold-rolled temper provides consistent thickness and good formability for cutting and bending
• 0.008 inches thickness for fine spacing and close-tolerance shimming tasks
• 6 inches x 100 inches roll format allows multiple shims to be cut from one piece
• Smooth, uniform surface finish supports accurate seating against machined surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose brass shim stock roll suitable for mechanical alignment, spacing, and gap-filling applications across industrial, maintenance, and machine shop settings.

Installation Notes

Shim stock should be cut using aviation snips, a sharp utility knife, or metal shears rated for thin-gauge sheet material. Deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent scoring mating surfaces. Ensure all equipment is de-energized and depressurized before introducing shims into rotating assemblies or pressurized joints. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque and clearance specifications when finalizing any shimmed assembly.
