Square Washers

Square washers are beneficial to use instead of standard round washers when levelling, or alignment is needed for an application. Like round washers, square washers are often used to distribute a larger load, but they also perform as shims and add the advantage of providing edge-to-edge contact to resist turning, as well as providing a larger bearing surface as compared to a round washer.

Bevel washers are square or rectangular washers with a beveled 1 to 6 ratio surface, to compensate for a lack of parallelism in structural components. The beveled surface allows for a snug fit between both the flat and the sloped material that is being bolted together, which creates a solid and tight fit overall.
