Precision Brass Shim Stock Roll
This brass shim stock roll measures 0.0040 inch thick by 6 inches wide and 100 inches long. It meets ASTM B36, ASTM B19, CDA-260 and SAE CA-260 material quality standards for Grade 260 half-hard brass. The plain finish resists corrosion in general maintenance environments. Length tolerance is +3.000/-0.125 inch and width tolerance is +/-0.008 inch.
Replaces Thicker Or Thinner Shims
Builders switch to this 0.0040 inch thickness when a 0.004 inch gap must be held without compressing softer material. The half-hard temper keeps the shim flat under load while the brass alloy prevents galvanic corrosion in damp conditions. It is not for applications that require a different thickness tolerance or a non-brass alloy.
Fits General Maintenance Assemblies
The 6 inch width lets you cut strips for flange alignment, bearing adjustment or leveling tasks without joining pieces. Brass construction frees the assembly from rust stains that carbon steel shims leave over time. The 100 inch roll length supplies multiple cuts for repeat jobs. Buyers who need wider sheets or different alloys must source alternative stock.

Questions about this item
What are the exact width and thickness tolerances for the 6 in by 0.0040 in brass shim stock roll?
The width tolerance is +/- 0.008 in and the thickness tolerance is +/-10 percent, with a length tolerance of +3.000/-0.125 in.
How do I cut and install the 100 in brass shim roll without distorting the half-hard temper?
Measure the required length, then cut with sharp aviation snips or a fine-tooth hacksaw; deburr edges gently to avoid work-hardening the Grade 260 brass.
Will the plain-finish brass shim stock resist corrosion in general maintenance applications, and when should I replace it?
The Grade 260 brass meets ASTM B36 and B19 for corrosion resistance; replace if surfaces show dezincification, cracking, or loss of flatness within the +/-10% thickness tolerance.
