The steel shim spike for protection on work boots is called a tongue protector. This type of protector is common on boots worn by people who handle very heavy equipment and welders. The spike fits over the tongue of the boot just inside the laces.

What is the most thickness allowed for shim installation?

As far as I have been taught there is no maximum thickness allowed for a shim. Shims can be specially made out of thicker plate to achieve the correct alignment. The only restriction I know about with shims is that there should never be more than 3 shims in one place (e.g. only 3 shims are allowed under each motor foot).


Can a screwdriver be used as a wedge?

It can, but this is a mis-use of the tool and can bend it. Better to use a wood or metal shim wedge. Available cheap in all good tool stores.

In construction, shims are often used to align two pieces of lumber. They can also be used to fill or align gaps between larger objects and to make objects level.


How do you put shims on?

To put shims on, first identify the areas that require leveling or support. Slide the shim into the gap between the surface and the object you want to stabilize, ensuring it fits snugly. If necessary, adjust the position or add more shims for even support. Finally, check for stability and make sure everything is level before securing the object in place.


What is the recommen ded way to hold a loose hub on a fan?

To hold a loose hub on a fan, it's recommended to tighten the hub set screw securely against the motor shaft, ensuring a snug fit. If the hub is still loose, you may need to use a shim or a locking compound to improve the grip. Additionally, regularly check for wear and tear on the components, as this can affect the hub's stability over time. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for any specific instructions related to your fan model.
