Precision Shim Stock for Tool and Die Setup
This 6-inch-wide by 100-inch-long stainless steel shim roll is manufactured to full-hard temper for tool and die alignment tasks. The 18-8 grade material meets AMS 5906B and ASTM-A-666-03 standards with a Rockwell hardness of C40-45. It suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need consistent thickness for precision spacing.
Dimensional Stability and Material Properties
Thickness is held to 0.004 inch with a tolerance of +/- 0.0002 inch, while width tolerance is +/- 0.005 inch and length tolerance is +/- 0.250 inch. The plain-finish stainless steel delivers 185,000 psi tensile strength for reliable performance under load. These tight tolerances support repeatable setups without deformation.
Upgrade from Thinner or Softer Shims
The full-hard temper and 0.004-inch thickness replace softer or thinner shim stock that can compress or tear during repeated use. The jump is worth it when setups demand the 185,000 psi tensile strength and C40-45 hardness for lasting dimensional accuracy. Buyers needing greater thickness or different alloy grades should select another specification.

Questions about this item
How do I cut the 6-inch-wide 0.004-inch stainless roll to length without bending the edge?
Clamp the roll flat between two straight bars, score with a sharp utility knife, then snap along the score; the ±0.005 in width tolerance keeps the edge true.
Will the C40-45 Rockwell hardness shim work-harden or crack if I have to re-bend it during alignment?
Full-hard 18-8 stainless at 185 000 psi tensile has very low ductility; repeated bending will cause cracking, so replace rather than re-form.
At what point does the ±0.0002 in thickness tolerance stop guaranteeing a consistent gap under clamping load?
The tolerance holds until local contact pressure exceeds the 185 000 psi tensile strength, at which point the foil yields and the gap widens.
