Precision Brand 22149 Shim Stock Roll 0.003 in Thick 6x60 in

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 22149 is a stainless steel shim stock roll used for precision alignment, spacing, and gap filling in mechanical assemblies. At 0.003 inches thick, this roll provides an extremely fine shimming layer suitable for applications requiring tight dimensional control. The roll measures 6 inches wide and 60 inches long, giving technicians ample material to cut custom shim pieces to size. Machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals reach for shim stock when setting machine tolerances, aligning bearing housings, leveling equipment bases, or packing out clearances in metal fabrication work.

This roll is suited for industrial maintenance, equipment installation, and precision machining environments. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for applications where corrosion resistance or elevated temperature exposure is a concern. Typical use cases include shimming pump bases, aligning shaft couplings, setting valve clearances, and supporting workpiece positioning in tooling setups. The 6-inch width and 60-inch length allow the stock to be cut with tin snips or a shim cutter to match a wide variety of gap profiles without waste.

Key Features

• 0.003-inch thickness for fine-tolerance alignment and gap filling
• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for demanding environments
• 6-inch wide by 60-inch long roll format allows field cutting to required dimensions
• Roll form reduces storage footprint and minimizes flat-stock distortion
• Compatible with standard shim cutters, tin snips, or bench shears for shaping

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose stainless steel shim stock roll for use in precision alignment, machine leveling, and gap-filling applications across industrial maintenance and fabrication settings.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically handled by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians during equipment alignment or assembly procedures. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before inserting or adjusting shims in drive or rotating assemblies. Use appropriate cutting tools such as tin snips or a dedicated shim cutter to achieve clean, burr-free edges that will not affect fit or cause injury during handling. Wear cut-resistant gloves when working with thin-gauge stainless steel stock.
