Parallel shim set VP-168 — precision-ground S45C shims, 14-piece set by Vertex

A precision-ground Parallel shim set VP-168 for accurate workholding, shimming and alignment in machine shops and toolrooms.

• Precision-ground with 0.01 mm tolerance
• Flexible 14-piece configuration for varied setups
• Manufactured from durable S45C carbon steel
• Stable total mass for slip-resistant placement

Make setup measurable with repeatable accuracy

The set delivers a measurable improvement in alignment thanks to its 0.01 mm accuracy on ground faces. This level of precision reduces trial-and-error during fixturing and shortens cycle time for part set-up. The precision-ground finish ensures parallel surfaces that sit flat and remain true under light clamping, providing consistent reference planes for tooling and inspection tasks. Measurable tolerances support quality control and reduce rework.

Flexible configuration for diverse clamping and shimming tasks

With a 14-piece set arranged in graduated thicknesses, the kit allows fine incremental adjustments when shimming or packing workpieces. Each bar is sized for modular stacking and rapid combination, enabling quick adaptation to different workpiece geometries. The assortment format improves workflow efficiency in fixtures and vices, while the solid construction supports repeated handling without dimensional drift. Use the set to simplify alignment, height matching and parallel spacing across a range of jobs.

Robust material and handling for daily workshop use

Made from S45C carbon steel, the components balance hardness and machinability for long service life in workshop environments. The overall mass of the set contributes to stability when placed in fixtures, minimising movement during manual operations. Ground faces resist deformation from normal clamping forces; routine cleaning and light oiling maintain surface condition. The construction suits regular industrial use and integrates easily into inspection benches and tool cabinets.
