Precision Brand 44220 Plastic Shim Stock 0.002 in Red

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 44220 is a color-coded flat plastic shim stock sheet designed for precision spacing, alignment, and shimming tasks in manufacturing, maintenance, and assembly applications. Measuring 10 inches by 20 inches and 0.002 inches thick, this red-coded sheet allows technicians to quickly identify the correct thickness by color alone, eliminating the need to measure each shim with a micrometer. Made from high-quality plastic, the sheet can be cut to custom shapes for gaskets, fixtures, and specialty parts. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance techs use these sheets to save time and reduce measurement errors during production and repair work.

This shim stock sheet is suited for light industrial and manufacturing environments where precise gap control is required. Common applications include machine alignment, fixture building, gasket fabrication, and tolerance adjustment on production equipment. The flat sheet format allows the user to cut any profile needed for the application at hand. The color-coded system is especially useful in shops that work with multiple thickness ranges simultaneously, making stock organization and retrieval straightforward.

Key Features

• 0.002-inch thickness for fine-tolerance shimming and spacing applications
• Red color coding allows instant visual thickness identification without measuring instruments
• 10-inch by 20-inch flat sheet provides ample material for cutting custom shapes
• High-quality plastic construction resists corrosion and is easy to cut to size
• Eliminates micrometer checks during setup, reducing installation time and measurement errors
• Suitable for gaskets, fixture components, and general manufacturing shim applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose plastic shim stock sheet for use in manufacturing, maintenance, and assembly applications where a 0.002-inch plastic shim is required.

Installation Notes

Shim stock sheets are typically handled by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians during machine setup and alignment procedures. Use appropriate cutting tools such as shears, a utility knife, or tin snips to cut the sheet to the required profile. Ensure the mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before installing any shim to maintain accurate tolerances. Verify final assembly clearances with appropriate measuring instruments after shimming is complete.
