    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.
    Copper—Good conductors of heat, these shims are often used when installing heat sinks. As our softest metal shims, they prevent damage to equipment and components but may not retain their shape as well as other metal shims.
