Well, you can't get the .004's so that takes care of point # 1
If you can cut .010 shim stock with scissors, you are a better man than I.
(maybe you are anyway!)
Thicker ones are even more difficult to cut accurately (for sure no way to
cut out the I.D. with scissors. You would have to use a punch, but I think
a hand punch would dull too fast (don't know for sure, though)
I recieved two messages on this issue. One was from someone trying to get
these done cheaper than .60 (if you can get them done for .30 - then you
get to buy an extra pack of gum)
The other was this one that is trying to figure out a way not to use the
shims.
All I was trying to do here is make some parts that I had a real hard time
trying to find available to the rest of the list. I am not going to get
rich on this, and it was never done to make money. It was done to fill my
personal need, and I thought I would share. So much for that. I have
decided not to sell them after all.
