June 01, 2011

Precision Brand Products Inc. is introducing Stainless Steel Arbor Shims as an expansion of the current Steel Arbor Shim product line. The new Stainless Steel Arbor Shims are available in 18 thicknesses in 12 different I.D/O.D. combinations.

Stainless Steel Arbor Shims are corrosion resistant and can be used for fast, accurate spacing of milling cutters, gang cutters, saws, slitting blades and grinding tools. Special sizes, materials, spacers with keyway, and bulk quantities are available upon request.

The new Stainless Steel Arbor Shims are packaged in air tight ploy bags, 10 pieces per bag, unless otherwise indicated.

Tolerances: I.D. + .011"/-.000"O.D. +/-.002".

  • arbor

    arbor

    Shaft used for rotary support in machining applications. In grinding, the spindle for mounting the wheel; in milling and other cutting operations, the shaft for mounting the cutter.

  • gang cutting ( milling)

    gang cutting ( milling)

    Machining with several cutters mounted on a single arbor, generally for simultaneous cutting.

  • gang cutting ( milling)2

    gang cutting ( milling)

    Machining with several cutters mounted on a single arbor, generally for simultaneous cutting.

  • grinding

    grinding

    Machining operation in which material is removed from the workpiece by a powered abrasive wheel, stone, belt, paste, sheet, compound, slurry, etc. Takes various forms: surface grinding (creates flat and/or squared surfaces); cylindrical grinding (for external cylindrical and tapered shapes, fillets, undercuts, etc.); centerless grinding; chamfering; thread and form grinding; tool and cutter grinding; offhand grinding; lapping and polishing (grinding with extremely fine grits to create ultrasmooth surfaces); honing; and disc grinding.

  • milling

    milling

    Machining operation in which metal or other material is removed by applying power to a rotating cutter. In vertical milling, the cutting tool is mounted vertically on the spindle. In horizontal milling, the cutting tool is mounted horizontally, either directly on the spindle or on an arbor. Horizontal milling is further broken down into conventional milling, where the cutter rotates opposite the direction of feed, or “up” into the workpiece; and climb milling, where the cutter rotates in the direction of feed, or “down” into the workpiece. Milling operations include plane or surface milling, endmilling, facemilling, angle milling, form milling and profiling.
