Planing metal shim?

[K2e2vin]

Is it possible to plane/mill a 80mm diameter shim that is ~1.3mm thick to about .10mm?

.10 of a mm?? Thats extremely thing. I Highly doubt you can get anywhere near that without destroying the material. I think it would take extremely sophisticated equipment to achieve that

try 2000 grit sandpaper.

That's going to be awhile. I need a shim that thin though because the differential im using has a ~.102mm clearance without the 1mm shim; its .002mm over the .10mm absolute MAX clearance. Maybe take ~1mm off of the outer race of the bearing so I can run a thicker shim?

nvm I found out the bearing wasn't pressed in all the way.
