Slotted Shim Pack for Precise Spacing
This pack contains five tabbed stainless-steel shims sized to trade designation D. Each piece measures five inches square with a thickness of 0.100 inch and a tolerance of ±0.002 inch. The slotted design includes a 1 5/8 inch wide slot and a 3 5/8 inch deep slot for fitting around bolts or shafts. Soft annealed 18-8 stainless steel allows easy trimming or bending on site.
Verify Slot Dimensions and Material Compatibility
Confirm that the slot width and depth match the fastener or shaft you are working around. Check that the 0.100 inch thickness provides the exact gap your assembly requires. Ensure the 18-8 stainless steel grade is suitable for the operating environment and will not react with adjacent metals. The plain finish offers no additional corrosion coating beyond the alloy itself.
Replaces Individual Shims and Improvised Spacers
This pack replaces the need to cut custom shims from sheet stock or stack multiple thinner washers. The jump is worth it when repeatable alignment is critical and the ±0.002 inch thickness tolerance reduces trial-and-error fitting. It is not for applications needing a different thickness, a non-slotted profile, or a higher-strength temper than the annealed condition supplied.

Questions about this item
What comes in the pack and do I need anything else to use these shims?
The pack contains five tabbed stainless-steel shims, each 5 in long, 5 in wide and 0.1 in thick with a 1 5/8 in slot width and 3 5/8 in slot depth; no additional hardware is required for spacing tasks.
Which thickness should I choose for my alignment job?
This listing supplies only the 0.1 in thickness with a ±0.002 in tolerance, so select it when that nominal dimension matches your gap requirement.
How does the 0.1 in thickness hold up when the shims are installed in a machine?
Each shim is held to ±0.002 in on thickness and ±0.015 in on length and width, so a stack remains consistent within those limits during use.
