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 and test report.
Carbon steel shim stock has excellent strength and can be welded, but isn't as corrosion resistant as other shims.

Shim Stock Sets
Keep shim stock in a variety of thicknesses on hand with these sets. 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.
Carbon steel shim stock has excellent strength and can be welded, but isn't as corrosion resistant as other shims.

Peel-Away Layered Shim Stock
Cut this shim stock it into custom shapes to fit your application. Stock is made of layers of material bonded with adhesive; remove layers with a utility knife until you get the thickness you need. To make the layers easier to pull apart, gently heat the shim to soften the adhesive.

Made-to-Order Shims
For unique shim shapes or sizes, send a dimensioned STEP or DXF file to chi.sales@mcmaster.com and we’ll precision cut your shim. Shims include a material certificate with traceable lot number and test report.
Please leave at least 1/8" wall between shim edge and holes. Minimum hole size is 1/8". Shims should be no smaller than 1" × 1" square or 1" OD. Maximum shim dimension is the largest overall length, width, or diameter of your custom shim.
For accurate leveling, choose materials such as steel or stainless steel, which are hard enough to resist scratching and deforming. Softer shims, like brass, can be used as wear plates between components that rub together, preventing damage to equipment.
Carbon steel shims have excellent strength and can be welded, but they aren't as corrosion resistant as other shims.

Made-to-Order Peel-Away Layered Shims
For unique shim shapes or sizes, send a dimensioned STEP or DXF file to chi.sales@mcmaster.com and we’ll precision cut your shim. Shims are made of layers of metal bonded with adhesive; remove layers with a utility knife until you get the thickness you need. To make the layers easier to pull apart, gently heat the shim to soften the adhesive. Shims include a material certificate with traceable lot number and test report.
Please leave at least 1/8" wall between shim edge and holes. Minimum hole size is 1/8". Shims should be no smaller than 1" × 1" square or 1" OD. Maximum shim dimension is the largest overall length, width, or diameter of your custom shim.
For accurate leveling, choose materials such as steel or stainless steel, which are hard enough to resist scratching and deforming. Softer shims, like brass or aluminum, can be used as wear plates between components that rub together, preventing damage to equipment.
Carbon steel shims have excellent strength and can be welded, but aren't as corrosion resistant as other shims.
