I looked at that one online since you provided a name for it, but I'm
not really sure, as the TV program didn't linger on the tool more than a
second or two. I think it might have been the DIY show about banjo
making. I put it on the DVR but deleted it already so I can't go back to
watch it (unless I DVR'd it on our second unit also...)
BTW, I just caught up to modern times--I got a Comcast DVR box last week
and liked it so much I picked up a second one days later. Very cool,
especially for shows like DM's Woodworks.
I see Woodcraft sells it too.
I Googled and came up with a Flexcut unit -

I've done some carving with an Automach - is that similar to what you
saw? The well-made Automach is fast and easy to use, but it makes a
really irritating noise. Carving is such calming and peaceful work with
normal hand tools that it's a shame to F it up with a noisy machine -
but it sure makes it easy to get the job done.
