Brass Shim Stock for Precision Alignment
This 0.0200 inch thick brass shim stock comes in a 6 inch wide by 180 inch long roll. It meets ASTM-B36, ASTM-B19, CDA-260 and SAE-CA-260 material standards. The Grade 260 half-hard brass suits alignment, machine repair, new assembly and tool-and-die setup tasks. Tolerances are held to ±0.001 inch on thickness, ±0.008 inch on width and +3.000/-0.125 inch on length.
Stable Dimensions Under Normal Handling
The half-hard temper resists deformation during cutting and fitting so the shim holds its 0.0200 inch thickness in service. Brass construction avoids the corrosion that can swell or weaken ferrous shims in damp environments. The plain finish adds no coating thickness that would alter the calibrated gap. No power, cooling or acoustic considerations apply to this static component.
Ready-to-Cut Roll Simplifies Custom Lengths
The continuous 180 inch roll lets you shear exact lengths on site without waiting for pre-cut pieces. Plain brass surfaces accept marking ink or scribe lines cleanly for accurate layout. No bundled software, adhesives or fasteners are included; the roll itself is the complete supply. Buyers needing pre-cut assortments or adhesive-backed shims will not find them here.

Questions about this item
How do I cut and fit the 6 in wide brass shim stock without bending the .0200 in material?
Use sharp aviation snips or a fine-tooth bandsaw; support the full 6 in width on a flat surface while cutting to prevent the half-hard brass from kinking.
Will the brass shim stock work-harden or corrode if left in a machine assembly?
Half-hard Grade 260 brass resists work-hardening under normal alignment loads and the plain finish meets ASTM B36 corrosion expectations for indoor use.
At what thickness variation does the +/- .001 in tolerance start to affect alignment precision?
The +/- .001 in thickness tolerance is the tightest control on the roll; cumulative stack-up beyond two shims can exceed typical .002 in alignment allowances.
