    Shim Stock

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Shim Stock. Sold Individually.
    Cut into custom shapes to create shims that suit your needs. With thickness tolerances as fine as a strand of hair, the shims will precisely align, space, and level components on dies, presses, and machinery.
    You can stack multiple shims to achieve your exact thickness, but stacking more than four may cause them to shift. Remember, fewer shims are better, so a couple of thicker shims are more stable than a bunch of thin shims.
    Extreme-Strength 17-4 PH Stainless Steel—Stronger than 17-7 PH stainless steel, it won’t rust in wet and outdoor areas but can’t withstand harsh chemicals like 316 stainless steel.
