Description

The Vortex Shim is a compact, square spacer designed as a spare part for turning tool holders and boring bars. It’s part of the Vortex Tools range from Protool, built to help you set tool height quickly and accurately for consistent cutting results.

Part number PC09318, this shim is a practical, ready-to-go replacement when you need reliable alignment between jobs or after routine maintenance. Its simple, unobtrusive design makes it suitable for a wide range of turning and boring applications on both CNC and manual machines.

  • Precise height adjustment: Ensures accurate tool projection for repeatable cuts and better surface finish across jobs.
  • Easy to install and align: Simple, straightforward design minimizes setup time so you can move quickly between tasks.
  • Durable, reliable construction: Built to withstand daily shop use, helping maintain your setup without frequent replacements.

Using the Vortex Shim helps maintain consistent results, speeds up tool changes, and reduces downtime by keeping tool alignment stable from one job to the next.
