Shim Blocks

[Guitar William]

I have my Taig lathe and need to raise my part for drilling and line boring on the crossfeed table.

The specs are 2x4x0.875" and 2x4x0.5" Aluminum is fine.

Just curious what this would cost. I'm in Goderich.

Cheers,
William

Postage. I'd have to do them in steel though.

Why not just buy CRS flatbar in 1/2 x 2” and 7/8 x 2” ?
CRS is ‘low alloy steel’ and dimensions are typically -.001”.
You can cut them yourself.

Phone Lakeport Steel in Goderich
