Pre-cut Shims

Pre-cut shims are available in a variety of sizes and thickness. They can be purchased either individually, in multi-packs, or as shim cases. Pre Cut Shim Cases include selected ranges of shims.

Pre Cut Shims are available in both metric and imperial sizes in stainless steel and brass.

Benefits of Pre-cut Shims

Below is an outline of the benefits of using pre-cut shims.

Cost Savings

It has been shown that pre-cut shims are around four times more cost effective than hand-cut machine shims in time alone. You only need to think about how long it takes to find shim material of the required thickness; mark it; cut it from the sheet stock; deburr and flatten it. How much simpler and quicker it is to select one that's ready for use from the shelf. Remember, installation and repair are also made easier and more straightforward with pre-cut versions.

Time better spent

It's not just the cost involved in producing hand-cut shims. Using pre-cut shims allows the time that would have been spent on hand-cutting to be used more productively and effectively for your business.

Easier stock control

Keeping track of pre-cut shims, which come packed in special cases each containing shims of different thickness' separated by clearly visible dividers, is far easier and less time consuming than running an inventory of sheet stock.

Safer work place

Our pre-cut shims also contribute to safe working practices, reducing the danger of injury during installation and cutting. All are finished with rounded corners and are perfectly deburred for maximum safety.

More reliable

Pre-cut shims also offer increased machine reliability. After all, the more exactly the machines are aligned, the longer they are likely to run without breakdown or damage.

Increased accuracy

When accuracy to hundredths of a millimetre is vital in providing optimum support for machine feet during rotating operations, even the merest fraction of inaccuracy can cause vibration, which in turn may result in breakdowns and expensive machine downtime. The use of pre-cut shims offers consistently accurate positioning, thus reducing the likelihood of such disasters.
