Precision Brand 17830 Brass Shim Stock 0.003 in 18x6 in 10 Pc

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 17830 is a brass shim stock sheet used to fill gaps, adjust clearances, and achieve precise tolerances in mechanical assemblies. Each sheet measures 0.003 inches thick, 18 inches long, and 6 inches wide, making it well suited for applications where close dimensional control is required. Brass is the material of choice when corrosion resistance, machinability, and non-sparking properties are needed. This package contains 10 sheets. Machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals rely on shim stock like this to align machinery, set bearing clearances, and correct wear in production and field service environments.

Brass shim stock is commonly used in industrial maintenance, machine tool setup, and precision assembly work. The 0.003-inch gauge is one of the thinner increments in standard shim sets, making it appropriate for fine-tolerance adjustments where removing or adding small amounts of clearance is critical. It is used in both light manufacturing and heavy industrial settings. Flat sheet format allows the technician to cut custom shim shapes with snips or a punch press to fit specific applications.

Key Features

• 0.003 inch thickness for fine-tolerance gap and clearance adjustments
• Brass material provides corrosion resistance and non-sparking properties
• Sheet dimensions of 18 inches long by 6 inches wide allow custom cutting to fit
• Flat sheet format compatible with snips, punches, and laser cutting
• Package includes 10 sheets per order quantity

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose brass shim stock sheet for use in precision mechanical assembly, machine alignment, and maintenance applications where 0.003-inch thickness and brass material are specified.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically cut and fitted by machinists or maintenance technicians using aviation snips, bench shears, or a punch press. Deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent damage to mating surfaces and personal injury. Always verify final assembly clearances with appropriate gauging tools after shimming to confirm tolerance requirements are met.
