Precision Brand 17815 Brass Shim Stock 0.0015 in 18x6 in 10pc

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 17815 is a brass shim stock sheet used to fill gaps, align components, and set precise clearances in mechanical assemblies. Each sheet measures 18 inches long by 6 inches wide and 0.0015 inches thick, making it suited for fine-tolerance work where exact spacing is critical. Brass construction resists corrosion and offers moderate flexibility, allowing the material to be cut or layered to achieve the required fit. This package contains 10 sheets. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly use this stock for machine tool setup, bearing fits, and equipment alignment tasks.

Brass shim stock at this thickness is well suited for applications requiring close-tolerance adjustments in light machinery, pumps, compressors, and general industrial equipment. The 18-inch by 6-inch sheet size gives enough material to cut custom shims for a range of flange, shaft, and housing alignments. The 10-piece pack supports repeated use across a job or stocking a service kit for ongoing maintenance work.

Key Features

• Brass material provides corrosion resistance and easy cutting with standard shop tools
• 0.0015-inch thickness for fine-tolerance gap filling and precision alignment
• 18-inch x 6-inch sheet size allows flexible field or shop trimming
• 10 sheets per package for multiple applications or job stocking
• Sheet form allows stacking to build up to a required clearance dimension

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose precision shim stock for use in mechanical assemblies requiring close-tolerance spacing and alignment adjustments.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using aviation snips, metal shears, or a sharp utility knife to cut sheets to the required shape. Ensure all mating surfaces are clean and free of burrs before inserting shims to prevent inaccurate fit-up. When layering multiple sheets, verify combined thickness with a calibrated micrometer to confirm the target clearance. De-energize and lock out equipment before performing any alignment or shimming work.
