Well it's finally the time to close the chapter on the Fly-by-Night Copper Company shims for the 557. My business license and web domain name are coming up for renewal and I've decided it's just not cost effective to continue - that, and I'm a little tired of: cutting and routing aluminum; and applying and trimming the adhesive and no-skid on each shim. In addition, Porter-Cable brought out the type 3 a while back so the market demand for the shim has declined dramatically.
I've got 4 shims left and once they're gone this whole fly-by-night venture will be but a memory. Drop me an email if you'd like to reserve one while you get your order in.
I'd like to thank everyone who took the great risk of sending me a sawbuck to try out this modification. I received many compliments and thank-yous from you folks and I'd like to publically say thank you right back.
