Value Collection 61971117 Spring Steel Shim Stock Roll

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 61971117 is a flat shim stock roll made from 1074/1075 tempered scaleless spring steel, intended for precision shimming, spacing, and alignment applications across mechanical and industrial trades. At 0.042 inches thick, 6 inches wide, and 48 inches long, this roll provides a consistent, ready-to-cut material for technicians who need exact gap control. The tempered spring steel construction delivers high tensile strength and resilience, making it suitable for applications where the shim must hold its shape under load. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this type of stock material.

This shim stock roll is used in applications requiring controlled clearances between mechanical components, including bearing fits, gear alignment, machine tool setup, and equipment leveling. The scaleless finish ensures a clean surface that does not interfere with tight dimensional tolerances. The 48-inch length and 6-inch width allow the roll to be cut or shaped to fit a wide range of industrial and maintenance scenarios. It is suited for both light fabrication and on-site service work where standard shim sizes are not available.

Key Features

• 1074/1075 tempered spring steel provides high strength and elasticity under compressive loads
• Scaleless finish delivers a clean, consistent surface for precision fit-up
• 0.042-inch thickness allows controlled gap adjustment in mechanical assemblies
• 48-inch length and 6-inch width give ample material for multiple cuts from a single piece
• Single-piece roll format simplifies storage and handling on the job site

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spring steel shim stock roll suitable for mechanical alignment, spacing, and clearance adjustment in industrial and maintenance applications where 1074/1075 tempered spring steel at 0.042 inches thick is specified.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically cut and fitted by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance mechanics using aviation snips, shears, or a mill. Deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent injury and to ensure accurate seating. Wear appropriate cut-resistant gloves when handling and cutting steel shim material. Verify final installed thickness with a calibrated micrometer before closing up the assembly.
