The material is 304-grade stainless steel, offering a smooth, bright surface finish with consistent caliper-verified thickness across the full roll length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eTypical applications include bearing and shaft alignment shimming in mechanical assemblies, precision gasket fabrication for fluid or pneumatic systems, feeler-gauge calibration checks, and fine-tolerance leveling of CNC fixtures, optical mounts, or electronic enclosures.
