Jacob O. ★★★★★

These shims are exactly what I needed to get my cutting tools dead on centerline. The .078” one was perfect for a larger carbide insert I’ve been struggling to align.

Alexander ★★★★★

I was glad to see the .004" shim included, as it let me dial in a really fine cut that I would have had to skip with my old set of homemade feelers. The steel feels much sturdier than I expected for the price.

Emily Z. ★★★★★

The six thicknesses cover everything I need for quick adjustments, and the steel build feels solid enough to last. The .078" shim saved me when I switched to a larger boring bar mid-job, and it sat perfectly flat without rocking.
