Precision Brand 44280 Plastic Shim Stock 0.050 in Clear

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 44280 is a color-coded, flat-sheet plastic shim stock designed for precise thickness gauging without the need for measuring instruments. Cut from high-quality plastic, this clear shim sheet measures 10 inches x 20 inches and carries a nominal thickness of 0.050 inches. The color-coding system allows technicians and machinists to identify thickness at a glance, reducing measurement errors and speeding up setup time. It is well suited for use in manufacturing, fabrication, and maintenance environments where consistent, repeatable spacing or shimming is required.

This shim stock sheet is used across a wide range of industrial and trade applications including gasket fabrication, fixture alignment, machinery leveling, and production of custom spacers or special parts. Its flat-sheet format makes it easy to cut, punch, or stamp into specific shapes on the job or in the shop. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, machinists, and equipment installers commonly use this type of shim stock during equipment setup and precision alignment tasks.

Key Features

• Color-coded for instant thickness identification without calipers or micrometers

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose plastic shim stock sheet for use in manufacturing, fabrication, maintenance, and alignment applications where a 0.050 inch plastic shim is required.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically installed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians during equipment alignment, leveling, or assembly. Cut the sheet to the required shape using shears, a utility knife, or a punch press before installation. Always verify final installed thickness with a calibrated measuring instrument when dimensional tolerance is critical to the application.
