Precision Brand 44230 Plastic Shim Stock Sheet 0.004 in Tan

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 44230 is a color-coded flat shim stock sheet made from high-quality plastic, designed for precision thickness control in manufacturing, maintenance, and mechanical assembly applications. The tan color indicates a thickness of 0.004 inches, allowing technicians to identify the correct shim at a glance without reaching for a micrometer. Each sheet measures 10 inches by 20 inches, providing enough material to cut gaskets, spacers, or custom-fit parts to specification. The color-coding system reduces measurement errors and speeds up workflow on the shop floor or in the field.

This shim stock is suited for a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications including gasket fabrication, alignment shimming, tooling setups, and precision spacing in manufacturing environments. It is commonly used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly workers who need repeatable, accurate thickness without the time investment of manual measurement. The flat sheet format allows easy cutting with standard shop shears or a utility knife to fit virtually any application.

Key Features

• Tan color coding identifies 0.004-inch thickness at a glance, eliminating the need for a micrometer during part selection
• High-quality plastic construction resists compression and provides consistent thickness across the full sheet
• Flat sheet format at 10 inches by 20 inches allows custom cutting for gaskets, spacers, and precision fit parts
• Reduces measurement errors and saves time in production and maintenance workflows
• Suitable for gasket fabrication, alignment, tooling, and general manufacturing applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose plastic shim stock sheet for use in manufacturing, mechanical assembly, and maintenance applications where precise thickness control is required.

Installation Notes

This shim stock is installed by machinists and maintenance technicians as part of assembly or alignment procedures. Always verify the color code against the manufacturer thickness chart before cutting or installing. Cut to the required shape using standard shop shears or a utility knife on a stable work surface. Ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before placing the shim to maintain accurate thickness and proper fit.
