Imagine fine-tuning a machine part that's just a hair off—frustrating, right? That's where these notched shims come in, acting like invisible helpers to bridge tiny gaps and ensure everything sits perfectly. Made from solid 1008/1010 carbon steel, they're tough enough to handle regular use without bending or wearing out quickly.
In workshops or garages, even small misalignments can throw off performance, leading to vibrations, uneven wear, or outright failures. Shims like these address that by providing added support between components, improving leveling, and creating tighter seals. They're especially handy for filling spaces in parts that see a lot of friction over time, preventing further damage.
At just 0.001 inches thick, with a 5/8-inch inner diameter and 1-inch outer, these shims fit snugly on standard keyed shafts. The hard temper gives them excellent resistance to deformation, so they hold their shape under pressure. A matte finish means less light reflection, making it easier to work in dimmer spaces without squinting. Plus, being magnetic, you won't drop them mid-job—they stick right where you need them.
Using these shims means smoother operations and less downtime tweaking setups. The carbon steel's strength translates to longer-lasting machinery, saving you money on repairs down the line. Their notched design locks securely, reducing play and enhancing overall stability—whether you're assembling tools, repairing equipment, or maintaining industrial gear.
Picture installing a motor where the shaft needs exact positioning; slide one on, and it's set. Or leveling a workbench that's settled unevenly over years—these fill the voids effortlessly. Mechanics often reach for them when spacing bearings or aligning pulleys, ensuring everything spins true. Even in DIY projects around the house, like fixing door hinges or appliance mounts, they provide that professional touch.
With their straightforward design and reliable material, these shims become a go-to in your toolkit. They're not flashy, but they get the job done right every time, keeping your focus on the build rather than the fixes.
