Luke Beaumont Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I've been pestering various local engineering places for some 0.001" shim stock without success. I can easily get an 8' roll of the pesky stuff, but I only need a fag packet sized piece. Anyone got any suggestions of the sort of industry that uses shim material, or better yet anyone got some they could post me for beer tokens / NTL? Not bothered whether it's steel /stainless /brass.

Joespeeder v2.0 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Well... For all you Pirsig fans, on you own personal Chautauqua, then the hot thing to shim with is a Beer Can cut down.

Bozz Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I'll see if I can find you some tomorrow (brass). Alternatively would plastic shim be any good? Bozz Yesterday I couldn't even spell the word 'engineer'....now I IS one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gregory Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Luke: If Bozz cannot find any, take a look here: www.jlindustrial.com/search/searchresults.jsp?_requestid=32424 HTH, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozz Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Luke I've checked the brass shim stock and the thinnest I have is 0.002". As per last night's reply I may have some plastic in that thickness but forgot to check before I left home. Any good 🤔 In the meantime I'll check my other sources.
