Value Collection 61971045 Spring Steel Shim Stock Roll

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 61971045 is a tempered scaleless spring steel shim stock roll used to fill gaps, align components, and achieve precise tolerances in mechanical assemblies. Measuring 0.02 inches thick and 1200 inches long, the roll provides ample material for multiple shim applications without splicing. The 1074/1075 spring steel alloy is tempered and scaleless, delivering consistent surface finish and hardness throughout the length. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians reach for this material when setting bearing clearances, leveling machinery, or building up worn surfaces to restore proper fit.

This shim stock roll is suited for use in industrial maintenance, machine tool setup, die and mold work, and general metalworking applications. The roll format allows the installer to cut custom-length shims to exact requirements using aviation snips, a shim cutter, or a utility knife with a straightedge. The tempered spring steel construction resists compression under load, making it appropriate where dimensional stability is critical over time. Supplied as a single roll of one piece.

Key Features

• Tempered 1074/1075 spring steel alloy for consistent hardness and compressive strength
• Scaleless surface finish for accurate thickness measurement and clean contact surfaces
• 0.02 inch nominal thickness suitable for fine-tolerance shimming applications
• 1200 inch roll length allows multiple cuts from a single piece
• Roll format supports field cutting to any required length or shape

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose shim stock material for industrial and mechanical applications where 0.02 inch tempered spring steel is specified. Verify thickness tolerance requirements against your application spec before installation.

Installation Notes

Shim stock should be cut using appropriate metal-cutting tools such as aviation snips, a dedicated shim cutter, or a scribe and break method for clean edges. Deburr cut edges before installation to prevent damage to mating surfaces. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling steel shim rolls, as edges can be sharp. Ensure the shimmed assembly is fully de-energized and depressurized before disassembly and shimming work begins.
