Shim Stock

Cut it into custom shapes to fit your application. Sheets come flat packed.

For accurate leveling, choose materials such as steel or stainless steel, which are hard enough to resist scratching and deforming. Softer shims, like copper or aluminum, can be used as wear plates between components that rub together, preventing damage to equipment. Metal shims include a material certificate with traceable lot number. Most shims include a test report.

Stainless steel shim stock is more corrosion resistant than steel shim stock.
