Description
Fine spacing adjustments on spindles bored to 1-1/8″ — a dimension found on some European and specialty shapers — require shims sized for that bore. Freeborn’s 48-piece color-coded shim set covers that configuration, delivering fine-increment spacing adjustments in a single kit. Each color corresponds to a specific shim thickness, allowing quick identification and combination without measuring individual pieces at the machine. When the cutter stack on a 1-1/8″ bore spindle is almost at the correct height and the remaining gap is too small for any steel spacer in the kit, these shims close it precisely. The color-coding speeds up setup changes in production. A specialized but essential accessory for shops running tooling on 1-1/8″ bore spindles.
