Shim in sizes
I've done a search and unable to find anyone
who sells washer as shims in a variety of thicknesses for a variety of bolts. I have tried to create my own to a degree, but it would be nice to find a variety pack that I could buy - cheaply - like under $30. Shopsmith sells a pack in colors that corresponds to the thickness, but if I remember right, it was with something else included and it wasn't cheap. I thought I was a great searcher, but on this particular quest, I got stumped. Anyone got an idea where I could find them? MJ |

Called Bokers that specialized in thin metal products. Try and Google them. CP |

Shim in sizes
What's the application in mind??? There are all kinds of shaft bearing shim washers but they're tended to be sized by bearings so again the app is probably key to the right kind of thing. Just to periodically have something to shim my various tools: bandsaw, tablesaw, etc. Right now, I am trying to level out my band saw. I've made some shims out of shim stock, but it's a bother. Just was looking to buy a variety pack somewhere. I thought I tried McMaster's, et al., and struck out, but will do again. The place you pointed to me, has them, but I didn't see a package deal anywhere. I'll look again. Thanks, MJ |

Again, not in kits, I don't think, but MSC (mscdirect.com) has plenty of sizes. Pete Stanaitis --------------- |

MJ Small parts has a couple of assortments of arbor shims, might do what you need. www.smallparts.com They have lots of handy stuff. Prices tend to be high, but if you need it and they have it....
