Precision Brand 17975 Brass Shim Stock Roll 0.25mm Thick

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 17975 is a brass shim stock roll used to fill gaps, align components, and set precise tolerances in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from 260 alloy brass, this roll measures 0.25 mm (approximately 0.010 inches) thick and 150 mm (approximately 5.91 inches) wide with a total length of 2.5 meters (approximately 98.4 inches). The material cuts cleanly with snips or a utility knife, making it practical for machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians who need on-the-spot shimming without ordering pre-cut pieces. The roll format reduces waste by allowing the installer to cut exactly the length required for each application.

Brass shim stock is commonly used in industrial maintenance, machine tool alignment, bearing fitting, pump and motor mounting, and general precision metalworking. The 260 alloy brass offers good corrosion resistance, moderate hardness, and consistent thickness tolerance across the roll. This roll format suits both shop and field use, where technicians may need varying shim lengths across multiple alignment points. It is appropriate for both light industrial and heavy equipment maintenance applications.

Key Features

• 260 alloy brass construction provides consistent thickness and corrosion resistance
• 0.25 mm thickness for fine gap adjustment and precision alignment work
• 150 mm wide roll allows cutting to any required width or length
• 2.5-meter roll length reduces need for frequent reordering in active shops
• Cuts cleanly with standard snips, shears, or a utility knife — no special tooling required

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose shim stock roll suitable for machine alignment, bearing clearance adjustment, and precision gap-filling tasks across a wide range of industrial and mechanical maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Shim stock installation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians. De-energize and lock out all equipment before inserting or adjusting shims in any rotating or pressurized assembly. Use clean cuts with metal snips or bench shears to avoid burrs that could affect fit or cause injury. Handle cut edges with care, as freshly cut brass stock can be sharp.
