Precision Brand 44270 Plastic Shim Stock 0.030 in Coral

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 44270 is a color-coded flat shim stock sheet made from high-quality plastic, measuring 10 inches by 20 inches with a thickness of 0.030 inches. The coral color designation identifies the thickness at a glance, eliminating the need for a micrometer during setup and reducing the chance of measurement errors on the shop floor. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians use these sheets for shimming, gasketing, and fabricating special parts in light manufacturing, assembly, and industrial maintenance environments. The plastic construction resists corrosion and is easy to cut to shape with standard shop shears or a utility knife.

This shim stock sheet is suited for a range of manufacturing and maintenance applications where precise, repeatable spacing or sealing is required. Common uses include machinery alignment, fixture building, gasket fabrication, and tolerance adjustment during assembly. The color-coded system allows technicians to quickly identify and match shim thickness without stopping to measure, improving workflow efficiency in production and field service settings alike.

Key Features

• Color-coded coral finish identifies 0.030-inch thickness without a micrometer
• High-quality plastic construction resists corrosion and is easy to cut or trim
• Flat sheet format at 10 inches by 20 inches allows custom shim shapes to be cut as needed
• Suitable for gasket fabrication, part spacing, and general manufacturing applications
• Reduces measurement errors and speeds up setup time during assembly or alignment tasks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose plastic shim stock sheet for use in light manufacturing, industrial maintenance, and assembly applications requiring precise thickness control at 0.030 inches.

Installation Notes

Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians typically install plastic shim stock during machinery alignment or component assembly. Power down and de-energize any equipment before inserting or adjusting shims in mechanical assemblies. Use standard shop shears, a utility knife, or a punch press to cut the sheet to the required shape. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and facility safety procedures when performing alignment or spacing work.
