Precision Brand 17855 Brass Shim Stock 0.007 in 18x6 in 10 Pc

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 17855 is a brass shim stock sheet used for precision spacing, alignment, and shimming tasks in mechanical assembly and maintenance work. At 0.007 inches thick, this sheet provides fine-tolerance shimming capability suitable for close-clearance applications. Each sheet measures 18 inches long by 6 inches wide, giving technicians a workable surface area that can be cut to size in the field. The package includes 10 sheets. Brass construction offers good corrosion resistance, machinability, and non-sparking properties, making it appropriate for use around sensitive equipment or in environments where ferrous material is a concern.

Brass shim stock at this thickness is commonly used by millwrights, maintenance mechanics, machinists, and HVAC technicians for equipment leveling, bearing alignment, pump and motor base alignment, and general precision fitment work. The 0.007-inch gauge is a frequently specified thickness for fine mechanical adjustments in both industrial and light commercial settings. Sheets can be cut with snips or shears to match specific application geometries.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose brass shim stock sheet suitable for mechanical alignment, spacing, and shimming applications across a wide range of industrial and commercial equipment.

Installation Notes

Shim stock installation is typically performed by millwrights, maintenance mechanics, or HVAC service technicians during equipment alignment or assembly procedures. De-energize and lock out all equipment before inserting or adjusting shims in any mechanical assembly. Use aviation snips, metal shears, or a utility knife with a straightedge to cut sheets cleanly to the required dimensions. Wear appropriate cut-resistant gloves when handling and cutting metal shim stock.
