Regular price $9.90

This 4-pack shim set is perfect for fine-tuning your door making shaper cutters. Some people like a tighter (or looser) fit when making cope and stick joinery. The shims in this 4-pc. set are .005" thick each and allow you to micro-adjust the tongue and groove on your door making shaper cutters. Use this shim set with any 3/4" bore shaper cutter. Also very useful for when you get your Rail & Stile shaper cutters back from the sharpener.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 4-pc. shim set used for?

It is used to fine-tune the fit of door-making shaper cutters by micro-adjusting the tongue and groove. See related shaper cutters & accessories.

How thick is each shim?

Each shim in the set is .005" thick, allowing fine micro-adjustments.

How many shims come in the set?

The set includes 4 shims.

Which cutters can I use these shims with?

You can use them with any 3/4" bore shaper cutter, including Infinity's door-making and rail-and-stile sets. Explore the Shape-Up shaper cutters they pair with.

Why would I want to adjust the tongue and groove fit?

Some woodworkers prefer a tighter cope-and-stick joint while others want a looser fit; shims let you dial in the exact fit you like for clean, repeatable joinery.

Are shims helpful after sharpening cutters?

Yes. They are very useful when rail-and-stile cutters come back from the sharpener, since grinding removes material; adding shims restores the proper joint alignment. See sharpening supplies.

Can I stack multiple shims together?

Yes. Because each shim is .005" thick, you can stack them to build up the precise spacing your joint requires.

Will these shims work with cope and stick joinery?

Yes. They are designed to micro-adjust the tongue and groove used in cope-and-stick door joinery for a tighter or looser fit.

Do these shims fit non-door shaper cutters?

They work with any 3/4" bore shaper cutter, so they are useful beyond door making wherever you stack 3/4" bore tooling. Browse more shaper cutters & accessories.

Is this a necessary accessory for door making?

It is a low-cost accessory that makes a real difference, letting you dial in a perfect tongue-and-groove fit and re-tune cutters after sharpening.
