What to shim with?
Well one of my 7" C-Chanel has a dip in it.:eek::mad::confused:
That causes my rail on that side to dip as well.:( Can someone help a brother out? Joe |

Joe is your table welded up yet? How do the legs attach to the beam? How are the braces attached? Post a picture of the entire side showing the beam, legs, braces and lower cross member.

There is also these,
McMaster Carr Part Number - 9011K19 Description - Shim Stock Sheet Low Carbon Steel, .020" Thick, 8" X 12", Unit Price - Packs of 5 $12.71 |
That seems easy enough. Thanks for the help. :)

If you are looking for pre-cut shims take a look at McMaster-Carr P/N 9302K25. These are alum. slotted shims in a variety of thickness.

washers work

Any thing with stable & consistant thickness will work, including gold & silver :D Diamond too... ;)
Happy New Year! |
Easy thing to do is use soda/beer cans. You can do a make shift die cut of them to a uniform shape by taking a small section of pipe and sharpening it and then arbor pressing into "donuts". Then, gang drill them for the center hole.
..or you can spend money and buy shims. I personally use a deck of cards for my shims. They are stable, waxed and last forever - plus easy to cut. I learned from a field mechanic years ago on this technique to align shaft pillow blocks on really big machines. Deck of cards was really cheap and fairly non-compressible. |
