Our company recently expanded into sheet metal fabrication, which required the acquisition of a tapping arm. I first reached out to Max A. earlier this year to begin the quoting process. Although delays in our project postponed the purchase until November, Max and Ben D. provided exceptional support throughout the entire process. They addressed all of our questions with a level of expertise and professionalism that reflects highly on their organization. We couldn’t be more satisfied with their service and are excited to integrate our new tapping arm into our operations. Highly recommended! Less
Great company to deal with, very responsive and helpful. Tyler went out of his way to make sure our new flexarm was everything we needed for our application to give us the best results! highly recomend flex arm tools if you want the best

My name is Kevin and I am the General Manager for Design Metal Manufacturing in Ft Collins, Colorado. We have recently purchased an RE-16D 50 Tapping Arm from Max Augsburger with FlexArm. Max was great to work with on this purchase. He was very informative on the various products and options. I tend to take my time as I thoroughly evaluate the best tools to purchase for my shop and Max was very patient through this, Always ready to answer my continuing questions. We now have the Tapping Arm mounted on a custom work table we fabricated and this is going to be a great addition to our machine shop. This will reduce undue waiting for a machine to open up on simple laser cut parts and will considerably reduce scheduling issues. I am very happy with he quality and easy of operation. I am able to have anyone utilize the Arm with very little training. It is a great addition to our shop. Thank you Max, I appreciate your help! Less
Working with Max at Flex Machine was a pleasure. From assisting us on which tool would work best for our application, to lining up shipments to our facility. Getting the tool on-site quickly was handled extremely well by Max and the team at Flex Arm arriving just as planned and packaged very well.

Flex Machine made it very easy for our business to buy a Flex Arm. Our sales rep Bruno came several times to visit and even helped us with the machine installation. Definitely top notch customer service. Would absolutely recommend!
Easy to buy and the tapping arm takes what was an hour long and dreaded process in our shop and makes it fun and take about 10 minutes. I should have bought one a long time ago.
Good friendly people fast loading help me sleep overnight
We have two tapping arms now and our shop couldn't live without these. Customer service is helpful and fast to respond. Will continue to support FlexArm.
Just got in our A-32 arm in today. Max Augsburger was extremely helpful with all my questions and emails when ordering the arm, table and accessories. We liked the fact we got a camo one as well. Arm works perfectly and will be a great addition to the shop when building parts for the Air Force Research Laboratory.
Great purchase, packing, delivery and support. Machine (FLEXARM RE-16) exceeds my expectations in performance. Before having this machine, tapping will give me anxiety and more than once I broke a tap in an almost complete part. Now I look forward to the power-tapping!
It was like moving from the Stone Age to the twenty first century! After struggling to tap 24 holes in a design machine, I got to thinking there had to be a better-faster way!

It was like moving from the Stone Age to the twenty first century! After struggling to tap 24 holes in a design machine, I got to thinking there had to be a better-faster way! Looked on line and saw videos of the FlexArm Tap Machines. To be honest the videos made tapping look incredibly easy. If something looks too easy to be true, it usually is! I requested pricing info and received a call, which was a surprise. Still debating the purchase I received a follow up call a week later. I explained my need to Bryan and he found a machine that would work for my project at a price I could afford. The machine was delivered very quickly with everything exactly as I requested. I downloaded the complete machine/setup instructions and it was simple to have it up and running in no time! I was amazed, not being familiar with a tap machine, how easy the setup-to-tapping actually turned out to be. Programming the remote for a new TV takes more setup than the FlexArm tap machine. Bryan Finfrock is the sales person to call, ask for him, he will do whatever it takes to get you tapping with a quality machine, backed by a quality American manufacturer. Note: I considered a machine from China. Yes, they are less expensive. You have to wait weeks for it to arrive, and you may and may not have instructions in English. If a part is missing that will cost you more time. I can’t vouch for the quality of a China machine, but the FlexArm S-36 I received is top of the line and built to tap anything. I’ve never regretted buying “Quality!” Dan Dix Louisiana Less
I've had one of these tapping arms for over 10 years. If you do not have rigid tapping on a VMC these tapping arms are an incredible tool if you need to do a lot of tapping. We now have rigid tapping on our CNC but we still use this for certain applications. I absolutely love our tapping arm!
I have worked at both Crown equipment Corp and Midmark Corp located in Midwest Ohio, to which both companies use Flexarm’s extensively. They’re quick, easy to use, and the customer service is second to none. Tyler Albert was our rep who was knowledgeable and willing to help us out at any time. Impressive tools, great company!
I do purchasing for a metal shop in Queens and we have worked with Flexarm for sometime now. Their sales department and customer service has always been super helpful and diligent. Our sales rep, Conner, provides top-notch support.
Absolutely love our Flex arm! Had a flex arm Die Grinder and an A-32 for over 4 years now and it continues to put out amazing parts! Tyler Albert has been unbelievable to work with and always is there to answer any questions that arise and keeps us satisfied! Thanks so much Tyler and Flex arm!
Awesome customer support and the flexArm grinder has been a fantastic time saver in our shop!!!
great company with great products and fast delivery
After setting up our FlexArm A32 and the custom tool holders in our shop I am left wondering how we ever got along without this great tool.

Great tool, great customer service. My shop had an older model that was fading out. Was informed about a new motor that would handle more tap sizes for what we needed so we upgraded. We will be using FlexArm for years to come.
Reach and support where you need too!
We run this in a high production environment using a flex arm and heli-coil setup. They have withstood a lot of abuse and 10 hour shifts. They tremendously speed up our production line with effortless tapping and next to no broken taps, and minimal training needed. We highly recommend their products. Stephen Barga can set you up with your needs.
100% satisfied with both of our flex arms. All of our service needs are met by Tyler Albert. Great company.
Great company. Solid tooling, solid support and a high quality product at an affordable price. We have purchased 3 flex arms, 3 custom carts, and a handfull of custom end effectors from Flex Arm and have been pleased at every step of the process. Highly recommend reaching out to them to discuss your application and let their highly trained staff help find a solution to fit your needs.
We purchased a FlexArm for secondary tapping work a few years ago and it has increased our productivity significantly.

We purchased a FlexArm for secondary tapping work a few years ago and it has increased our productivity significantly. We have live tool lathes and on many of the production jobs we removed the tapping and perform it on the FlexArm while the parts are running on the lathe to reduce throughput time. Even if there are multiple sizes, changing heads takes only a few seconds. Initially we were worried about taps breaking, but we actually find less breakage and more control with the arm. Now if we have trouble with taps breaking on either our mills or lathes, we immediately switch to using the arm. Less
We have had a flex arm for about 5 years now and it works great. Tyler Albert was helpful with all my questions.
Flex Arm is a wonderful assistant for manufacturing. We have decided to use our Flex Arm for deburring parts, instead of a drill press. The operators do not need to pick up each individual part and can easily move the Flex Arm to a desired position. Stephen offers great support, for their product.
easy tapping, great for production runs!
We have 4 FlexArms in our shop that get used daily. They save us machine time and are very dependable.
Tyler Albert was very informative and willing to work with me to ensure I got exactly what I needed and when I needed it by. Would highly recommend him along to answer any questions you may have!

Being new to the manufacturing world has been so interesting and inviting especially in thanks to Flexarm and Stephen Barga!!! I first was introduced to Flexarm when I was visiting another shop and also visited their booth during IMTS... Impressive equipment to say the least! Stephen reached out to me shortly after IMTS and has been consistently in contact ever since, and not as a typical sales person trying to push a product.. We have had several conversations about manufacturing, racing industry, flexarm products, different contacts and my shops needs and future wants.. See I dont own a Flexarm yet, but in the future they will play a huge roll in my shops success..All in Thanks To Stephen Being a genuine person and representing his company the way more need too!!!!

Great product. Saves us a ton of time. Stephen is the best.
Great tool, awesome customer service. I have had my tap arm for ~6 months.....it works perfect. I always hated tapping until I purchased this tool, it's a life saver. I now offer tapping a as service :)
Great product and people. Saved us thousands in broken taps on machines and allowed us to move more parts through our machines.
well made great tool once you use one you will never want be without it
FlexArm is a great product never have any issues if i do Steven Barga is the man i go to great team.
We have bought several AR-40 arms with custom mounts for manufacturing system that we were building. Stephen Barga was great to work with. We always received designs in a timely manor per our requests. Thanks!
Awesome company. Team is knowledgeable and responsive and their products work well. Stephen Barga works hard to make sure every customer is happy with their product. Below is a picture of our BUILT height adjustable workstation utilizing a FlexArm, it works great!
Dealing with FlexArm/Stephen Barga is always a pleasure. I have only had to call 1 time with a technical question and the problem was solved. We tap thousands of thousands of holes each month and this machine is a huge time saver. With the correct settings anyone operate the machine with no issues.
Absolutely love the FlexArm product and team. These integrate seamlessly with a BUILT Systems height adjustable workstation. Stephen Barga does a great job ensuring all needs are met and the customer is satisfied. Keep up the great work!
I have been using a FlexArm for several years now. I have never had a problem with the unit and the customer support is great.
Very good company with excellent products that get the job done. With an excellent customer service whether on the phone or email someone was there for me when I needed info on products or replacement parts. Stephen Barga and Betsy Fisher have provided excellent customer service when I need help.
We have owned a FlexArm for over 20 years. It is one of our favorite tools. The Tap-o-matic is buried in a drawer somewhere and near obsolete. We have ours on a steel table with casters so we can move it over to the lasers to tap holes as we bring off the bed. We love this amazing tool.

Stephen has always been very helpful and easy to work with.
Great company to work with. Stephen was very helpful with any and all questions I had regarding ergonomic issues at my plant. Since our conversation, we have been converting all of our articulating arms to their carbon fiber telescoping arms which are phenomenal!
I work for SOLCOM INC. a distribution company, we have been working closely with FLEXARM and we have nothing but great experiences. Their knowledge and customer support is outstanding!
Solid Company, purchased through a distributor called back with a question and spoke to Stephen. Very knowledgeable and fast answers. Saved me a ton of time and money on more than one job. The A-32 is priceless. My only complaint is I didn't buy it sooner! Cool company.
I've worked with FlexArm for over a year now and they've consistently provided quality results. Jeff, their Ergonomic Sales Specialist, has been prompt, professional and very helpful to me -- I would highly recommend working with him if you have the chance! I look forward to a continued partnership in 2019.

At first glance they look like a great manufacturer. And they could very well be. But I had a very bad experience with buying a product that did not work as intended and then when I asked for a return or repair they did not want to help me even at all. I have now spoken with a few people over there and it’s the same story. I would say that having a clean reputation is the most important thing in the competitive world of tools. And sadly I have to give this company a very poor rating. I buy good stuff and have lots of great reviews to give. This is a rare experience for me. Less
