    Shims

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Shims. Round, Sold Individually.
    With thickness tolerances as fine as a strand of hair, these shims precisely align, space, and level components on shafts, arbors, 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.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these shims resist rust. However, they’ll corrode or pit when exposed to salt water and chemicals.
    Highly-Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Superior to 18-8 stainless steel, these shims won't degrade when exposed to harsh weather, salt water, and most chemicals.
    Carbon Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these shims to rust.

    Shim Assortments

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Shims. Round, Sold as Assortments.
    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 thickness tolerances as fine as a strand of hair, these shims precisely align, space, and level components on shafts, arbors, 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.
    Carbon Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these shims to rust.
