Precision Stainless Shims for Exact Spacing
These 5-inch square stainless-steel shims are 0.015 inches thick and come in a pack of 20. The slotted tab design fits around bolts or studs without full disassembly. They are made from 18-8 grade material with a full-hard temper for consistent thickness in alignment tasks.
Fixed Thickness and Tolerance Limits
Each shim is manufactured to a 0.015 inch nominal thickness with a tolerance of ±0.001 inch. Length and width tolerances are held to ±0.015 inch. The slot measures 1-5/8 inches wide by 3-5/8 inches deep, and the tab is 1 inch high by 2-1/2 inches wide, so the shim only fits hardware within those dimensions.
Replaces Improvised or Worn Shim Stock
This pack replaces makeshift washers, cut-to-fit sheet metal, or depleted shim assortments when repeatable 0.015 inch spacing is required. The jump is worth it when loose hardware or soft-material shims allow movement under load, or when corrosion ruins thinner mild-steel alternatives. Builders needing adjustable thickness or non-standard slot sizes must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 0.015 inch thickness or a different shim for my spacing job?
This pack supplies twenty shims each 0.015 inch thick with a ±0.001 inch tolerance, so you get a precise, repeatable gap every time.
What does the 0.015 inch thickness actually give me when the shim is installed?
You gain a consistent 0.015 inch gap between parts, held to within one thousandth of an inch by the tight thickness tolerance.
The shim is stainless steel 18-8 — does that limit where I can use it?
18-8 stainless resists corrosion and handles moderate heat, making the shims suitable for most industrial and automotive spacing tasks.
