I use the AutoMach with the flexcut tools and really love it. Great for any applications I come across, so far. LOVE THE WEIGHT AND ACTION.

You have to use the brass shims that are meant for the fit to be correct. I use them with the AutoMach machine. There are two sizes, depends upon blade sizes.

You have to use the brass shims that are made for FlexCut blades. There are two sizes depending upon blades used. I use them on the AutoMach machine. Tight fit.

You can purchase the shim, and any Flexcut products directly from their web site; www.flexcut.com

I had to go that way because nobody had the tools I wanted locally, or even on the web.

Very good, fast service.
