Precision Brand 17977 Brass Shim Stock Roll 0.4mm 150mm

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 17977 is a brass shim stock roll used to fill gaps, set clearances, and establish precise tolerances in mechanical assemblies. Made from 260 alloy brass, this roll measures 0.016 inches thick and 5.91 inches wide, providing a consistent, machinable surface that cuts cleanly with snips or a utility knife. At 2.76 pounds, the roll delivers substantial usable material for shop or field applications. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians reach for this stock when aligning equipment, shimming bearings, or building up worn surfaces to specification.

This shim stock is suited for precision alignment tasks in industrial maintenance, machine shops, and equipment repair environments. It is appropriate for both light fabrication and repetitive shimming work where a consistent, corrosion-resistant material is required. The roll format allows technicians to cut custom lengths on demand, reducing waste and keeping material organized on the bench or in a service vehicle.

Key Features

• 260 alloy brass construction offers good corrosion resistance and easy machinability
• Roll format allows custom-length cuts with snips, a utility knife, or shears
• 0.016-inch thickness suits fine tolerance work and gap filling in mechanical assemblies
• 5.91-inch width provides enough material width for most standard shimming applications
• Consistent caliper across the roll length supports repeatable results

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose shim stock roll for use in industrial maintenance, machine tool alignment, and mechanical assembly applications where 260 alloy brass material is specified.

Installation Notes

Cut shim stock using metal shears, aviation snips, or a sharp utility knife on a stable work surface. De-burr cut edges before installation to prevent damage to mating surfaces or personnel. Always measure installed thickness with a calibrated micrometer to confirm final clearance meets the assembly specification. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer service documentation when shimming rotating or load-bearing components.
