I did this recently before laying a plywood subfloor. Builders had left a handful of plastic shims similar to these around. When they ran out I just cut my own of varying heights off the end of a CLS stud with a chop saw. It wasn't any more arduous.

I need to level some uneven floor joists before putting down engineered oak T&G boards.
I’ve packed under the ends but they’re old and no longer straight so need some sort of levelling on top. I’ll do the fine tuning with some plastic packers, but need something to even out the bigger ups and downs.
Is it practical to cut thin tapered shims with a circular saw, or can you buy such things? I’m looking at about 5-10mm over a metre.
