Ever struggled with a shaft that just won't stay put, throwing off your entire machine alignment? I've been there, fiddling with parts that shift under load. These 0.001-inch thick notched shims solve that headache instantly—they slip right onto keyed shafts like arbor shims, locking everything firm without play.
Made from AISI 1008/1010 carbon steel, these shims pack real strength in a tiny package. The hard temper resists deformation, so they hold up against constant pressure and friction. That matte finish isn't just for looks; it cuts glare in tight workspaces and gives a no-slip grip. Plus, being magnetic means you won't drop them into the abyss during installs.
With 5/8-inch inner diameter and 1-inch outer, they're sized for common setups. Standard tolerances keep fits predictable, no surprises.
Shims like these fill gaps between wearing parts, boosting support and seals. Need better leveling on a press or mill? Stack a few for exact spacing. They're great for insulation tweaks or tightening fits in motors, pumps—even older equipment where parts have loosened over time.
In my garage, these have saved rebuilds on engines and tools. No more imprecise cuts or vibrations from sloppy alignments. They're thin enough for micro-adjustments but rigid where it counts. A pack of 10 covers multiple jobs, and at this spec, they're a staple for anyone wrenching seriously.
Whether restoring vintage gear or maintaining shop machines, these carbon steel notched shims deliver reliable performance. Grab yours and feel the difference in how smoothly things run.
