Value Collection 41977465D Shim Stock 0.094 in Spring Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 41977465D is a flat shim stock sheet made from 1074/1075 tempered scaleless spring steel. It measures 0.094 inches thick, 12 inches long, and 5 inches wide, weighing approximately 1.598 pounds. This shim stock is used to fill gaps, set clearances, align components, and take up wear in mechanical assemblies. Machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and field service professionals install this material when precise spacing or leveling is required. The spring steel construction provides resilience and resistance to deformation under load, making it well suited for applications where the shim must hold its dimension over time.

This shim stock sheet is appropriate for general industrial and mechanical service work including machinery alignment, equipment leveling, bearing fits, and tolerance adjustment in metalworking and fabrication environments. The scaleless temper finish reduces surface scale buildup, which allows for consistent thickness readings across the sheet. It is sold as a single flat sheet and can be cut to final shape using tin snips, shears, or a bench grinder depending on the required configuration.

Key Features

• 1074/1075 tempered scaleless spring steel construction holds dimension under compressive load
• 0.094 inch thickness for precise gap filling and clearance setting
• 12 x 5 inch sheet size provides enough material for multiple cuts or a single custom-fit piece
• Scaleless surface finish allows accurate thickness measurement without scale interference
• Single-piece sheet format — no cutting or separation required before use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose shim stock sheet suitable for machinery alignment, mechanical assembly, and tolerance adjustment applications across industrial and maintenance trades.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically installed by machinists or maintenance technicians during alignment or assembly procedures. De-energize and lock out all equipment before inserting or removing shims from any powered machinery. Use appropriate metal-cutting tools rated for spring steel when trimming this sheet to size — avoid bending or scoring the sheet in areas where full thickness is required. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling cut edges.
