When we think of machined parts, we generally think of tight-fitting components and intricately moving mechanisms. But the truth is, not all components have to fit together snugly. In fact, there are some side-by-side components that you simply don’t want to touch each other.
That’s where metric spacers and plastic standoffs come in. Often times the functionality of a piece of machinery will depend on exact tolerances and distances, but the manufacturing process left a little too much wiggle room. Plastic washers and metric spacers can help bridge the gap between components and ensure that ever
