Makers, repair technicians, and hobbyists who need a reliable, workable metal shim turn to brass sheet roll for its consistent gauge, clean edges, and ease of cutting without specialist tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis brass shim strip is made from C26000 cartridge brass (70% copper \/ 30% zinc), rolled to a uniform thickness of 0.4 mm (approx. 1\/64 in) and slit to a width of 100 mm (approx. 3.94 in). Available lengths run from 1 M through to 5 M (approx. 3.3 ft – 16.4 ft), giving you the right amount for small one-off jobs or larger ongoing projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical applications include shimming bearing housings and shaft fits, fabricating custom gaskets for fluid systems, lining clock or instrument mechanisms, crafting decorative metalwork and jewellery blanks, and protecting surfaces during welding or forming operations — all scenarios where a consistent 0.4 mm brass shim strip delivers measurable results.\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:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suitable for general engineering, clockmaking, model-making, HVAC shimming, and craft fabrication.
