I am tramming a Homier mini mill and the column is out vertically, leaning
toward the front. I have exhausted all local supply house trying to find
some .001 and .0015 shim stock, short of buying 50 or 100 ft rolls. I need
about a foot of each max, 1/2 inch wide. I would be willing to buy some from
someone for a reasonable price if you have it readily available. All help
greatly appreciated.

MSC, KBC, J&L, Travers, all the machine shop suppliers have this, in
brass and steel. You can buy a set that has about 12 thicknesses,
including .001 and .0015". Home aluminum foil is pretty close to
..0015" McMaster-Carr most likely has this, too. The assortment packs
are usually something like 4 x 8" sheets.
