Slotted Shims
The slot lets you insert, remove, and adjust the shims without disassembling your machinery, while the tab keeps fingers and tools away from machine feet. Use an insertion tool (sold separately) for better leverage and reach. Shims are etched with the thickness.
18-8 stainless steel shims have a balance of strength and corrosion resistance.

Oversized Washers for Wood
Prevent screws from sinking into wood—these washers have a large OD.
Notched washers won’t rotate during installation since you can hammer nails in the notches to temporarily secure them in place. Also known as No. 10 Western Timber and Victor washers.
Beveled washers are our thickest washers. Their thickness is equal to the screw size and roughly twice as thick as notched washers. The OD is about four times the bolt's diameter. They're also known as Ogee washers for their S-shaped curve.
