Precision Brand 81420 Slotted Shim Stock 10 Piece

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 81420 is a slotted stainless steel shim stock used for precision alignment, spacing, and leveling applications in mechanical and industrial assembly work. Each piece measures 0.2 mm thick, 4 inches long, and 100 mm wide, with a 1-1/4 inch wide slot for easy positioning around fasteners and shaft assemblies without full disassembly. The package includes 10 pieces. Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and consistent dimensional stability under load. This shim stock is suited for machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working on machinery alignment and equipment leveling tasks.

Slotted shim stock is commonly used in industrial maintenance, machine tool setup, pump and motor base alignment, and equipment installation where precise gap control is required. The slotted design allows the shim to slide into position around a bolt or shaft without removing the fastener, saving time during alignment procedures. This product is appropriate for both production and field service environments where stainless steel material is specified for its durability and resistance to moisture or mild chemical exposure.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows installation around fasteners without full disassembly
• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and dimensional stability
• 0.2 mm thickness for precise gap and alignment control
• 1-1/4 inch wide slot accommodates common fastener sizes
• 10 pieces per package for stocking and repeat-use applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slotted shim stock suitable for machinery alignment, equipment leveling, and mechanical assembly applications where 0.2 mm stainless steel shims are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights, machinists, or maintenance technicians. Ensure equipment is de-energized and mechanically locked out before placing shims under load-bearing components. Use appropriate measuring instruments to verify gap dimensions before and after shimming. Avoid bending or creasing shim material, as deformation will affect dimensional accuracy.
