VP-018 Parallel shim set with metric sizes and compact tray

The VP-018 parallel shim set is a workshop-grade spacer system for aligning and levelling components during fixturing, setup and inspection tasks.

• 20-piece precision shim set
• Sizes from 3 to 41 mm in steps
• Compact storage tray 290×230×73 mm
• Total weight 2.5 kg

Maintain machine alignment and repeatability with precision shims

The VP-018 delivers controlled spacing and parallelism where surgical accuracy is required. Each shim is designed for consistent thickness and edge geometry so that alignment and repeatability are improved during assembly, set-up and tool changes. Using a systematic shim strategy reduces time spent on iterative adjustments and supports faster changeovers in production environments. The clear size progression from narrow to wider shims enables fine incremental corrections without adding complex tooling or adjustments.

Broad size range for flexible fixturing and set-up

Containing two pieces of each width between 3 mm and 41 mm, all with a 150 mm length, the set covers common workshop needs for shimming, spacing and parallel support. This variety allows rapid selection of the required cross-section to correct small misalignments or to build accurate stacked thicknesses for bespoke setups. The ability to combine shims to achieve precise incremental heights reduces reliance on custom-made spacers and supports versatile use across jigs, fixtures and inspection fixtures.

Practical storage for tidy workstation workflow

The compact tray, measuring 290×230×73 mm, keeps all components organised and protected, making the set easy to transport between machines or to a bench for inspection tasks. A defined location for each shim size speeds up retrieval and return, which contributes to a neater workplace and fewer lost parts. Storing components systematically lowers downtime caused by searching for the right spacer and supports consistent process control in routine operations.

Engineered for dependable workshop performance

Manufactured under the Vertex range, the set is intended for regular use in workshop environments and bench-level precision tasks. The overall mass of 2.5 kg balances portability and robustness for everyday handling. By integrating this shim set into standard operating procedures, calibration and maintenance cycles become more predictable, lowering the risk of misalignment-related rework and keeping production quality consistent.
