Precision Brand 22146 Shim Stock Roll 0.002 in Stainless Steel

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 22146 is a stainless steel shim stock roll used to fill gaps, adjust clearances, and set tolerances in mechanical assemblies. At 0.002 inches thick, this roll measures 6 inches wide and 60 inches long, giving technicians enough material to cut custom shims for a range of applications. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and holds up in wet, oily, or high-humidity environments. Machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance mechanics typically stock this material for precision alignment and leveling tasks where consistent thickness is critical.

This shim stock roll is suited for industrial maintenance, mechanical repair shops, and field service applications where precise gap control is required. Common uses include machine tool alignment, flange shimming, bearing seat adjustment, and equipment leveling. The 60-inch length provides enough stock for multiple cuts from a single roll, reducing waste on jobs that require several custom-sized pieces. It works in both light fabrication and heavy maintenance settings.

Key Features

• 0.002 inch thickness for fine-tolerance gap filling and clearance adjustment
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and chemical exposure
• 60 inch length provides ample material for multiple cuts per roll
• 6 inch width accommodates a wide range of shim sizes without additional joining
• Roll format allows field cutting to exact dimensions with snips or shears

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose shim stock roll for mechanical assemblies requiring 0.002 inch stainless steel shim material in maintenance, repair, and fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Cut shim stock using aviation snips, metal shears, or a bench-mounted cutter to achieve clean, burr-free edges. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling cut edges, as thin stainless steel stock can be sharp. Degrease mating surfaces before installing shims to ensure accurate seating and prevent slippage. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer tolerances when selecting shim thickness for precision alignment work.
