A shim – at its most basic level – is an item which is placed between objects in order to maintain the desired level of performance, without parts grinding down or suffering from wear and tear which can be costly and take time to repair.

Important For All Industries

Shims play a major role in carpentry, construction, and several other industries (such as the automotive and aerospace industries) where assembly parts are relied upon to manufacture desired products. These metal or plastic shims can help to readjust the fit or alignment or the parts, keeping them working at their optimum functionality and retaining the exact levels of accuracy that are often needed in these types of applications.
