Hi folks, I have a little project and need some advise. Basically what I'm making here are tiny shim stacks. The type of material needed is the flexible stuff feeler gauges are made out of. That's the first problem. What type of bendy stuff should I be going for. (typical shim washer is going to be something like, id 3mm, od around 8mm and 0.05mm thickness) The important thing is that they are flat and have no burr. Acid etching seemed like a good idea but the price goes up too much to get them done without tabs on. Does stamping ruin the flatness and leave a burr? Thanks Zogg |
