Engineers, hobbyists, and fabricators who need repeatable, corrosion-resistant shim stock in a manageable sheet size will find this listing covers the full range from ultra-thin foil to structural plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eEach sheet measures 200×300mm (approximately 7.87″×11.81″) and is cut from 304-grade austenitic stainless steel. Thickness options span 0.02mm to 1mm (0.0008″–0.039″), covering everything from delicate foil gauges (0.02–0.09mm) through standard shim thicknesses (0.1–0.5mm) up to light structural plate (0.6–1mm). The 2B mill finish provides a smooth, consistent surface suitable for further processing or direct use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eTypical applications include precision shimming and levelling of machine beds, CNC fixtures, and bearing housings; thin-sheet metalwork for model engineering, jewellery blanks, and decorative inlays; and prototyping gaskets or custom spacers where stainless steel's resistance to moisture and mild chemicals is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-compat\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"hdiy-compat-icon\"\u003e⚙️\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sheet size is fixed at 200×300mm.
