    Shims for D-Profile Shafts

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Shims. For D-Profile Shafts, Sold Individually, Round.
    With a partially flat inside surface, these shims won’t spin out of position to precisely align and space components on D-profile shafts and arbors.
    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.
    Carbon Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these shims to rust.

    Shim Assortments for D-Profile Shafts

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Shims. Round, Sold as Assortments, For D-Profile Shafts.
    When you don’t know the exact shim thickness you’ll need, keep multiple shim thicknesses on hand so you always have the right one. With a partially flat inside surface, these shims won’t spin out of position to precisely align and space components on D-profile shafts and arbors.
    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.
    Carbon Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these shims to rust.
