Washers/Shims

RC shims and washers to set spacing and remove slop.

Frequent Questions & Answers
What are shims used for?

Shims are thin washers that set precise spacing, such as gear mesh or bearing position, and remove play from a drivetrain.

What is the difference between a shim and a washer?

They are similar, but shims come in fine thickness steps for precise spacing, while washers mainly spread load under a screw head or nut.

What shim thicknesses should I keep?

A range from around 0.1 mm upward covers most setup jobs. Assortment packs are a convenient way to have every thickness on hand.
