Mostly, this time I needed some rigid shims for adjusting the outfeed table level on an elderly Delta jointer I acquired, but there have been and doubtless will be other times I need a thin shim and don't have any available. This package provided far more shim stock, and an attractive variety of shim thicknesses, than I ever expect to use, at a reasonable price. I may not expect to ever use all of them, but then, I don't expect to ever have to order shim stock, and wait for delivery again, either.

If you have a mill or metal lathe you should have this. Many machines require precision shimming to establish perfect axis perpendicularity. Model engineers will find many uses for this shim stock.

All but the .003 size are larger than what they are meant to be when I put the micrometre on them but I guess they are close enough for what I need to use it for. Just for those who need accurate sizes, I would see if there is something else, otherwise they will be close enough for others
