Shim Question

[highrun55]

I just had one of the tables shimmed in my room, When they say double or triple shimmed,
is the original facing counted as one of the shims ? Inquiring minds want to know.


Thank you

Yes, the original counts. So adding one shim to the original would be considered a double shimmed table. We would recommend using a thicker facing instead of doubling them up. They come in various thicknesses. Also in the future,check out the thread on rail extensions.
