Fireball Tool 12pc Thin Shim Set – Non-Magnetic Fabrication Shims

The Fireball Tool 12pc Thin Shim Set gives welders and fabricators a fast, repeatable way to fine-tune spacing, elevation, and alignment during welding, fabrication, fit-up, and fixture table setups.

Instead of hunting around the shop for scraps of sheet metal or washers to get a part sitting at the right height, these precision-height shims give you known thicknesses of 1/32", 1/16", and 1/8" that can be stacked and combined to create the spacing you need.

With 12 total shims and four of each thickness, this is a simple addition to the welding table that can solve a surprising number of fit-up problems.

Fine-Tune Your Welding & Fabrication Setup

Small differences in height can make a big difference during fabrication.

These thin shims are ideal for making minor adjustments when positioning tubing, plate, fixtures, or fabricated assemblies. Use a single shim for a small correction or stack multiple shims together to create the exact spacing your setup requires.

They're especially useful for:

• Welding table setup

• Fabrication and fit-up

• Leveling and aligning workpieces

• Spacing tubing and plate

• Raising parts off the welding table

• Fixture setup and adjustment

• Correcting small height differences

• Creating repeatable gaps

• Supporting parts during tack welding

• General machine and fabrication shop setup

Three Useful Thicknesses

Each set includes:

• 4 × 1/32" Shims

• 4 × 1/16" Shims

• 4 × 1/8" Shims

Each shim has nominal 2" × 1" dimensions.

Because the thicknesses can be combined, you can quickly create a wide range of different spacing and height combinations without having to fabricate a custom spacer for every setup.

Non-Magnetic Design

These Fireball Tool shims are non-magnetic, making them particularly useful around welding tables, magnetic fixtures, and fabrication setups where you don't want your spacer sticking to surrounding tooling.

Position the shim where you need it, make your adjustment, and get back to fitting up the job.

Black Oxide Treatment

The shims are not hardened and feature a black oxide treatment.

Fireball Tool processes the top and bottom surfaces of each shim. The sides are not ground and may be slightly undersized from their nominal 2" × 1" dimensions.

Stop Using Random Scrap as a Shim

We've all done it—grabbed a piece of sheet metal, a washer, or whatever happens to be sitting near the welding table to get a part positioned where it needs to be.

The Fireball Tool Thin Shim Set gives you a much more repeatable solution.

Grab the thickness you need, stack them when necessary, dial in your fit-up, and get to welding.

Simple tools. Known dimensions. Better fit-up.
