the Hunter and the Rougher, as they both advertise
excellence in roughing and finishing cuts.

I can't speak for the Hunter, Andy.. Robohippy uses them a lot..


I also use it, bot -only- for hollowing end-grain. For that it takes
a fair cut and leaves a fair finish. You need to play with it a bit to
get the angle right, but it does work as advertised.
For shear-cut/finish work, I prefer the Sorby Shear tool, it is set
to force the angle to the correct angle for a shear-cut, and the blade
(being HSS) can be user sharpened.
