Shim Stock

Cut into custom shapes to create shims that suit your needs. With thickness tolerances as fine as a strand of hair, the shims will precisely align, space, and level components on dies, presses, 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.

Plastic—Softer than metal, it won't mar delicate surfaces and it will never rust.

Shim Stock Assortments

Image of Product. Front orientation. Shim Stock. Sold as Assortments.

When you don’t know the exact shim thickness you’ll need, keep shim stock in multiple thicknesses on hand so you always have the right one. Cut this shim stock into custom shapes to create shims that suit your needs. With thickness tolerances as fine as a strand of hair, the shims will precisely align, space, and level components on dies, presses, and machinery.
