Peel-Away Multilayer Shim Stock

Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Shim Stock. Peel Away, Sold Individually, Multilayer.

Fine-tune thickness without worrying about stacking multiple shims. Cut the shim stock into custom shapes that suit your needs. It's made of layers of material bonded with adhesive—peel off the layers with a utility knife until you reach your desired thickness. To make peeling easier, warm the created shims to soften the adhesive. With thickness tolerances as fine as a strand of hair, the shims will precisely align, space, and level components on dies, presses, and machinery.

18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor areas because it resists rust. However, it will corrode or pit when exposed to salt water and chemicals.

Peel-Away Multilayer Shims

Fine-tune thickness without worrying about stacking multiple shims. These shims are made of metal layers bonded with adhesive—peel off the layers with a utility knife until you reach your desired thickness. To make peeling easier, warm the shims to soften the adhesive. With thickness tolerances as fine as a strand of hair, all of these shims precisely align, space, and level components on shafts, arbors, and machinery.

Peel-Away Multilayer Made-to-Order Shims

Image of Product. Front orientation. Shims. Multilayer, Sold Individually, Made-to-Order, Peel Away.

If you need a unique peel-away shim shape or size, we’ll precision cut it for you. Use these shims to fine-tune thickness without worrying about stacking multiple shims. They're made of metal layers bonded with adhesive—peel off the layers with a utility knife until you reach your desired thickness. To make peeling easier, warm the shims to soften the adhesive. With thickness tolerances as fine as a strand of hair, all of these shims precisely align, space, and level components on shafts, arbors, and machinery.

Send your dimensioned DWG, DXF, IGES, or STEP file to sales@mcmaster.com. Please leave at least _1/8" wall between shim edge and holes. Minimum hole size is _1/4". 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.

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.

Material Certificate—Shims include a report with a traceable lot number.
