Shims

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.

Stress-Resistant Spring Steel—These shims are harder and hold their shape better than carbon steel. Use them for high-stress applications, such as leveling heavy machinery. They're best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.
