"Shims" are made from cardboard and are used to get an exact width

"Spacers" are a clear plastic circles that interlock with the blade
and/or chipper to insure that the carbide teeth do not come in contact
with metal.

Ok then, I've learned something new. In any event, I didn't receive

My CMT set came with a set of plastic shims in various thicknesses.
They've held up well for the past 12 years.
