Abstract
The invention is a device for peeling one or more individual layers of a multilayer shim. In detail the device includes a platform having a surface with a recess. A mechanism is mounted in the recess for mounting the shim and a moving the shim upward such that a portion of the shim is above the surface. A blade assembly is rotatably mounted to the platform, which is rotatable in a plane parallel to the surface. The blade assembly includes a cutting blade mounted thereon, such that said blade is in slidable contact with the surface and movable over the recess. Thus shim can be raised by the mechanism and the portion of the shim requiring removal can be raised above the surface and the blade assembly thereafter can be rotated causing the cutting blade to shear off the portion of the shim above the surface.
